Adding a Tizen Display

Samsung commercial displays running Tizen are widely used in digital signage. GoVista supports these displays with a lightweight web app.

Supported Models

  • Samsung SMART Signage (QB, QM, QH, QE series)
  • Samsung SSSP (Samsung Smart Signage Platform) version 4.0 and above
  • Tizen 3.0 and newer

Step 1: Download the Widget

1. In the GoVista dashboard, go to Settings > Downloads 2. Download the Tizen WGT package 3. Save it to a USB drive

Step 2: Install via USB

1. Format a USB drive as FAT32 2. Copy the WGT file to the root of the USB drive 3. Insert the USB into the Samsung display 4. The display should detect the app and prompt for installation 5. Follow the on-screen prompts to install

Step 3: Install via Tizen Studio (Alternative)

1. Download and install Tizen Studio on your computer 2. Enable developer mode on the Samsung display:

  • Go to Menu > System > Advanced > Developer Mode
  • Enter your computer's IP address

3. Connect Tizen Studio to the display 4. Deploy the WGT file

Step 4: Pair and Configure

1. Launch the GoVista app on the display 2. A pairing code appears on screen 3. Enter the code in Devices > Add Device on the dashboard 4. Name and assign the device

Samsung commercial displays support auto-launch of installed web apps. Set GoVista as the auto-launch app in the display settings for hands-free startup.

Network Configuration

Ensure the display can reach:

  • GoVista API servers (HTTPS port 443)
  • Content CDN for media downloads
  • WebSocket endpoint for real-time commands

Known Limitations

  • Video codec support depends on the specific Samsung model
  • Some older SSSP3 displays have limited memory for web apps
  • H.265 support varies by model year

Always update the Samsung display firmware to the latest version before installing GoVista. Older firmware may have bugs that affect web app performance.
