BrightSign Controllers Take the Complexity Out of
France’s Largest Retail Digital Signage Network
1,500 BrightSign Players Drive Over 3,000 Displays in 80 FNAC Stores
AMSTERDAM, 2 February 2010 – BrightSign announced today that 1,500 BrightSign networked sign
controllers have been installed at 80 FNAC retail stores throughout France. FNAC is an international
entertainment retail chain and the one of the largest retailers of its kind in France. With the
BrightSign players driving more than 3,000 FNAC displays, BrightSign plays a key role in the largest
retail digital signage network in France.
FNAC wanted full HD video and image-quality digital sign displays installed across all 80 retail stores
in France for in-store promotions including ticket sales, TV sales and other products. The company
also wanted the displays managed on a digital signage network to provide simple, easy updates on a
daily basis.
TMM Communication was selected for the project because they differentiated their proposal by
offering BrightSign players with a solid-state platform. The solid-state design provides higher
reliability, supports networking for remote updates and is significantly more affordable than PCbased solutions, both on unit pricing and network service pricing. In addition, TMM offered to
develop a unique software interface.

"With its extremely reliable and feature-rich solid-state media players, BrightSign has reached a
milestone in the digital signage industry as it allows system integrators to offer powerful and cost effective digital sign solutions to retailers like never before." says Michel Baronnier, CEO of TMM
Communication.

The 1,500 BrightSign players that drive more than 3,000 digital displays in 80 stores are all
networked and managed from FNAC’s head office using BrightSign Network and the interface
software TMM specifically designed for FNAC.

BrightSign Network is an all-inclusive networking solution based on xml technology. The technology
allows skilled software developers to easily connect to BrightSign’s hosted network service to
provide value-added features like the interface TMM developed for FNAC. The interface, which
simplifies presentation creation and content updates, interfaces with the BrightSign Network service
to ensure smooth updates without having to access all of the management features.

Unique Retail Digital Signage Applications
Each FNAC store has three specific digital sign programmes that run at full-screen and play video
mixed with still images. The first is a television display. This digital sign programme utilises a single
BrightSign HD1010 player to run the same HD presentation/content displayed on about 80
Televisions that are for sale which allows the customer to compare each TV on an equal basis. The
second digital sign programme is a ticketing display: This is comprised of multiple large portrait
displays mounted as a large video wall and run by BrightSign HD210 players. It displays promotions
for upcoming concerts and other events, a calendar of events and pricing. The third programme is
an implementation of POP Displays. These displays are found next to store shelves and promote
store wide savings/promotions, and each is run by a BrightSign HD210 player.

TMM is continuing with a number of projects for the retailer. At the completion of the project,
2,000-3,000 BrightSign units will have been installed in FNAC stores, including outlets outside of
France.
