For the zebrix administrator: technical requirements for using zebrix shortcut?
- zebrix shortcut is based on the “PIP” (Picture-in-Picture) function and can therefore only be used on SAMSUNG SSSP / Tizen screens.)
- The application uses a page that you must have previously created in the zebrix account and on which a PIP zone has been created. Several pages can be created, for example if you need to be able to use different screen inputs (HDMI1 / HDMI2 / DVI / VGA) or offer different page versions.
- The page created can be freely formatted, as long as it contains at least one PIP zone and is named with a ZEBRIXSHORTCUT_ prefix. You can therefore, for example, put text, images, text at the bottom of the image, a logo superimposed above the PIP zone, etc.
Pages intended to be able to be used in order zebrix shortcut must imperatively be named with the prefix ZEBRIXSHORTCUT_ for example ZEBRIXSHORTCUT_HDMI input.
