The showrunner™ program includes several pre-built keypad types suitable for a wide variety of applications. In addition to standard keypad types, showrunner™ supports custom "X-Type" keypad configurations. Custom keypads can be configured from the showrunnerHUB™ Web Interface, or they can be manually added to the config and enabled using the XPanel Touchscreen interface. The SHOWRUNNER™ Keypad Types page page lists all the available built-in keypad types for the most common keypad models:

It is recommended to use built-in keypad types whenever possible, as configuring custom (X-Type) keypads is a more complex and time-consuming process. If custom keypad programming is required, there are several methods of configuring custom actions detailed in subsequent sections.

Custom (X-Type) Keypad Configuration

The showrunner™ X-Type keypad is a customizable keypad type available for Cameo, Horizon, GLPPA-KP, and Zūm Wired keypads. See this document for a list of possible keypad layouts for all keypad types. It is recommended to customize keypads using the showrunnerHUB™ UI whenever possible, as keypads which have been manually customized in the configuration will be missing certain attributes that are required to allow them to be subsequently editable from the showrunnerHUB™ UI.

Downloadable instructions for configuring X-Type keypads from the showrunnerHUB™ UI are available here.

Custom keypads can be configured from the showrunnerHUB™ Web Interface, or they can be manually added to the config and enabled using the XPanel Touchscreen interface.
