Rewind button (First button)

The first button allows users to move back in the current select profile. When the news profile is select the previous two sites will be display in MediaDesk.

Pause (Second button)

This button allows the user to pause the auto ratio. This is handy when the user wants to view the open web site.

Play (Third button)

The play button starts the rotation of the current profile. A news profile might have the BBC, CNN, Sky and the New York Times listed and this button will open BBC in the left browser and CNN in the right browser. After the time period (defined in the profile) MediaDesk will the load Sky and the New York Times. This rotation will continue until the end of the list is reached and then swap back to the first set of web sites.

Forward (Fourth button)

The forward button moves the current rotation to the next two web sites in the profile. This is an extremely handy feature to quickly find out what is on your favourite web sites. In the news profile it will first show the BBC and CNN web sites. When this button is pressed the Sky and New York Times web sites are display. This is very different from current browsers where you need to use clumsy favourites to view your web sites.
