Table 2-2	GUI Elements on the Browser Page (continued)
Element		Description
Screen Rotation Angle		Indicates whether you have rotated the HTML content plane and shows the amount of rotation. You
(clockwise)		might choose to rotate the HTML content plane if you have rotated your DMP display.
		The rotation feature applies only to content that plays on the HTML content plane. To play video
		vertically, you must first encode it vertically.
Browser Alpha Channel		Note Although this setting might look identical to a setting described in the “Adjusting the
Transparency (0-255)			Transparency of the HTML Content Plane” section on page 2-15, they are different. You
			use this setting to configure transparency for the browser.
		The amount of transparency that you configure for all content that your DMP shows in the
		embedded browser. Values can range from 0 to 255, where:
		•	0 — Content in the browser is completely transparent.
		• 255 — Content in the browser is completely opaque.
Splash Screen Display		Indicates in milliseconds how long the splash screen persists on your DMP display when you start
Time (milliseconds)		or restart your DMP.
Screen Resolution		Indicates whether screen resolution detection is enabled. You can enable this feature only after you
Autodetection (requires		have enabled the feature to autodetect DMP display attributes (which is available from the DMP
DMP Display		Display Attributes page). If you want to set the browser resolution manually, you must disable
Autodetection)		this feature.
Maximum Detected		Indicates the HTML content pane width in pixels, if you are using the autodetected maximum
Screen Width (in pixels)		width. Permitted values range from 640 to 1920. You might want to change this value if you know
		that your DMP display supports widths greater than the default value of 1366, but 1366 is the
		autodetected width. You can edit this value only if you selected Enabled from the Screen Resolution
		Autodetection list.
Maximum Detected		Indicates the HTML content pane height in pixels, if you are using the autodetected maximum
Screen Height (in		height. Permitted values range from 480 to 1080. You might want to change the value of you know
pixels)		that your DMP display supports heights greater than the default value of 768, but 768 is the
		autodetected height. You can edit this value only if you selected Enabled from the Screen
		Resolution Autodetection list.
HDMI-detected Screen		Indicates in real time the width and height in pixels that the attached DMP display is showing, if
Resolution (in pixels)		you selected Enabled from the Screen Resolution Autodetection list and if your DMP uses an
		HDMI cable to attach to its DMP display.
		Tip	Cisco content creation guidelines for digital signage assume that the screen resolution
			width is 1366 pixels and the screen resolution height is 768 pixels. If the autodetected
			values are different than these, we strongly recommend that you:
			1. Select DMP Display Attributes.
			2. From the DMP Display Autodetection (requires HDMI) list, select Disabled.
			3. From the Display Standard list, select VESA_1360x768x60.
			4. From the Interface (DMP display output) list, select HDMI.
			These selections will apply 1360 and 768 as the width and height values to use,
			respectively, ensuring that your content for digital signage works as designed — despite the
			trivial 6-pixel deviation in the width value, as compared to the content creation guidelines.
