About Samsung Tizen for SignaCast
The SignaCast player for Samsung Tizen runs on Samsung SMART Signage panels and on Samsung smart TVs. It plays your playlists, schedules, layouts and designs. Pairing takes one code typed into the Manager; from then on the screen updates itself.
Tizen has a built-in browser engine, so designs are drawn on the panel itself. One live HLS stream at a time plays through Samsung's own video player, full screen or in a layout region of its own. The player keeps the last good content and continues playing it if the network drops.
Samsung SMART Signage panels start the player on power-on, run their own on/off schedule, lock the remote and can be mounted in portrait. A consumer Samsung TV plays the same content, but the app has to be opened by hand after a power cycle, so it suits demos and attended screens rather than unattended installs.
SMART Signage panels can also run the Browser player through the panel's URL Launcher, with no app to install.
