Alternate between tabs

We regularly see High Definition TVs mounted above areas in our customers' plants. These TVs typically show a single screen that is refreshed on a regular basis. Why only show one screen when you can alternate between multiple? Fortunately, there are browser plugins that make this very simple. Here are some we recommend, but feel free to research other plugins to meet your specific need.

Chrome: Revolver

Firefox: Tab Rotator

Configuration is different between the two plugins, but they will both rotate between all open tabs and also have the option to refresh each tab. Be sure to read the documentation on each plugin for usage.

Refresh a page on an interval

The plugins described in the "Alternate between tabs" will also refresh a single tab on an interval. Just enable the rotation with a single tab open.
