1.SmartDisplay Keypad Introduction
SmartDisplay is a software programmable switch. This allows many functions with a set number of
switches. Adding/removing/changing functionality can be done with just a software update and no
hardware configuration changes. The SmartDisplay Keypad has 24 LCD switches. Each switch has a
36x24 pixel display with RGB color backlighting.
The SmartDisplay Keypad connects to a PC via USB and is identified as an USB keyboard. Any
keyboard functionality can be emulated using the keypad. Each keypad switch can be programmed
with a pre-determined set of keystrokes (macros). The keypad will then execute those keystrokes
when the button is pressed. This allows for easy automation of groups of keyboard functions. Once
the settings are downloaded to the device, the keypad can be moved between computers and still
retain its functionality.
NKK can supply subsystems with any configuration, number, and type of SmartDisplays with USB
and Ethernet communication. Custom firmware behavior is also available. Please contact
engineering@nkkswitches.com with your requirements.
The SmartDisplay Keypad is ideal for use in applications with multiple, complex functions which
would ordinarily require many dedicated switches and complex training. The dynamic nature of the
system allows for instantaneous transitions from generalized lists of categories down to function
specific actions. This reduces the need for complicated controls and shortens the time for training by
only displaying relevant options and commands.

5.Operational Overview
The SmartDisplay Keypad can have up to 24 pages of 24 keys each. Upon power up, the keypad
loads the first page and displays every image and backlight on the appropriate key for the page. If
nothing was saved previously, the keypad will remain blank.
Each page is limited to a certain number of macros. The total number of macros can be distributed
across the 24 keys of the page as the user wishes. There are 4 macro types:
1. Text – Add plain text up (to 250 characters)
2. Hotkey – Add keypress and special characters (CTRL, ATL, arrow keys, etc.) (up to 4
presses)
3. Time – Delay a specific number of milliseconds between the previous macro and the next
4. Page – Change all keys to the specific page number
The number of macros per key is only limited by the maximum number of macros per page. The
commands can be ordered however the user wishes.
Images can be created in any graphics software, such as Microsoft Paint. All images must be 36x24
size, saved as a monochrome bitmap (.bmp) file. The keypad supports 24 pages of 24 keys, and one
image per key, so 576 images. Software is provided to convert larger images to the proper format, but
editing will still be needed.
A backlight color can be selected for each key. The keypad supports one color for every key.
Pressing a key will start sending the macros over USB in the order the user defined them. If the
macros are application specific, the user must take care that the correct application is in focus or
undesirable behavior may occur. NKK Switches is not liable for any damage cause by using the
keypad.

Clicking the select image button will open a dialog. You must select a 36x24 image that is in .bmp
format and saved as monochrome. You can create your own images in graphics software such as
Microsoft paint, or use a conversion utility found on the NKK website. After selecting a correctly
formatted image, it will appear in the box.
