Configuring Samsung SSP for Video to Video Playback

This article provides the workaround guidelines to the Samsung SSP video to video playback limitation, which displays a two second black screen interval between videos.

In order to reduce the black screen interval, or for an almost seamless transition between videos, an image of the last frame of the video, or first frame of the next video, must be inserted in between the two videos, with the playout duration set to one second.

The image of the first frame or last frame of the video can be exported from most video editors.


  1. Navigate to the Media Zone widget of the desired sign, and click the Content tab.


  2. Click Add Media to insert an image, preferably an image of the last frame of the video. Ensure the image is placed in between the first and second video.


  3. Click the ‘Default 12 sec(s)]’ Playout duration of the image.


  4. Click the PLAYOUT PROPERTIES tab, and in the Duration field, select Manual. Enter in one second for the duration.


  5. Click Apply and close the window.

  6. Close the Media Zone widget and save the desired sign.
