Samsung Tizen HTML5 Player (Magic Info Alternative)

Introduction

With the following steps, you can quickly turn your standard Samsung Magicinfo display into a FRAMR. signage display.

System Requirements
A list of Samsung displays that support HTML5 content playback can be found on the Samsung website.

The playback quality of FRAMR. signage depends on the player hardware used. In our tests, simultaneous playback of multiple videos is either not supported or only moderately supported. Therefore, the use of these features should be minimized or avoided whenever possible. See our FAQs at the bottom of the page for more information.
