*) Local caching is used to retrieve data from the server and save it to the local device, so as to ensure that presentations can still be displayed even when your internet connection is down.

Note: this does not apply to services such as audio and video streaming.

**) The player is bandwidth-efficient because the data is retrieved from the TDM servers only once. The player version and Tizen app do not need to retrieve the content from the internet on each separate occasion, making it bandwidth-efficient.

***) For the use of Spectator Statistics, you need a full-hd camera, connected to your screen and player. Furthermore, you need to download additional software from the download section in the TDM designer. TDM Spectator Statistics licenses can be purchased through your reseller of distributor.

Now that you are aware of the system requirements and know what version you will be using; you are ready to proceed to the next step – retrieving your license code and installing TDM.

How To retrieve my HTML5 license from the designer

1. Please login to the designer with an administrator account: https://designer.tdmsignage.com

2. After successfully logging in you will see the main dashboard. On the dashboard please select “Administration”.

3. Open the tab called “Licenses”.

4. From this overview you find your license key. Select “Show player URL” to see the license key.

5. Please note that you only have to fill in the last eight characters of the URL into the TDM Android Player. In the example below we use “xxxxxxxx” marked in red.

How To install TDM on your Tizen display

After running the default configuration the screen will be set to use Magic Info. We need to change this to URL Launcher. To do this switch on your Tizen device and press the menu button. In the menu navigate to the System options.
In the settings menu navigate to “Play via” and select URL Launcher. We are now able to configure the TDM App. Press the back button until you are back to the normal input screen.
The Tizen displays require to download an app through a URL Launcher. To enter this URL, press the home button. In this menu you should be able to see the option: “URL Launcher - Settings”. Open this option.
There are two versions available for the Tizen app. One version for landscape mode and one version for portrait. The URLs for the APPs are:

Landscape version: http://tizen.tdmsignage.com/v1/
Portrait version: http://tizen.tdmsignage.com/portrait/

Enter the corresponding URL at the Install Web App field and select OK.
As soon as you have done so, the display will start downloading and installing the app. Once the app is installed a popup will appear, asking for you license code. Fill it out in the field and click Save.

Once you have clicked Save, the app will start looking for content and will show up in your Designer as a player:

All you need to do now is assign your player to one of your presentations. On page 26 of the TDM Designer manual you can find how to do that: https://tdmsignage.com/downloads/

The status icon will display as green then. Like a PC and HTML5 player license, an Tizen license can only be used on one device.
