Signagelive announces commercial support for Samsung's SSSP 4.0 Tizen-powered displays

September 2, 2016

Signagelive, a provider of a cloud-based digital signage technology platform, has successfully migrated its media player software to Samsung's fourth-generation Smart Signage Platform (SSSP V4.0) powered by Tizen OS, according to a press release from Signagelive. Samsung's Tizen powered displays will be commercially available to partners, resellers and end users in mid-September, and Signagelive will be fully compatible with the new platform.

Signagelive has worked closely with Samsung HQ since late 2012 prior to the launch of the original Smart Signage Platform (SSSP) in 2013 and developed an off-the-shelf offering for the SSSP and as consequence, all Samsung Smart Displays are able to run Signagelive's software as standard, the release said.

"Signagelive has a strong relationship with Samsung's technical team and from the outset they have always been responsive to our development requirements," said Jason Cremins, CEO of Signagelive. "Their outstanding support over the last four years has enabled Signagelive to become one of the top five digital signage technology providers globally with over 600 networks globally using Signagelive for Samsung SSP Displays. The new Tizen platform is highly flexible and we will strive to ensure we continue to provide the same levels of advanced functionality for existing SSSP users."

The SSSP V4.0 platform features an upgraded graphics engine, featuring a 3x increase in animation performance over previous SSSP models, which Signagelive says closes the decreasing gap between SoC and PC-based media players.

Core features of the SSSP V4.0 include such playback of up to two concurrent full HD videos; seamless video playlists; multi-zone layouts; Media RSS for syndication of content from Signagelive's content partners; transparent image layering; screen on /off control; automated remote application updates; and automated remote firmware updates. Advanced features such as support for the forthcoming Signagelive Widget Development Framework and Signagelive Web Triggers enabling real-time triggering of content via our APIs will be compatible with the latest release.

"With SSSP V4 Samsung have significantly improved the development process and environment which our customers will be able to directly benefit from as we can release quicker and with the improved support for a wider range of HTML5 APIs over previous iterations of the SSSP platform will allow us, our content partners and customers to push the boundaries of what is considered possible on SoC players," said Marc Benson, CTO of Signagelive.
