In this article you will learn about the essential remote button features for use with OMNIplay on Samsung Tizen Public Display (SSP4, SSP5, SSP6).

The remote has one button to switch Off & On.

The numbers on the remote cannot be used to change the channel, much like you're used to at home. For OMNIplay they have a different feature. Some of the numbers are shortcuts for different information, and will be listed below.
Key #1: General Info.

Key #3: Media plan.
Here you will find information about all the files and content that is set to play on the channel. This means file names, duration, size and how many files are in the channel.
This feature also provides the status of the uploaded and played files. The status is divided into two categories:
- Server. Uploaded to server.
- Local. Downloaded and stored on device storage.
If the files are stored locally on the screen, they will be played regardless of the network connection.
Key #0: Change license key (PlayerID).
Channel
The CH-button allows you to change the channel directly on the screen without using DatabeatOMNI. All available channels is included in the channel list. Navigate with the arrow keys to scroll through the list until the channel you want to display on the screen is displayed.
