BrightSign, Flixio Studios, Philips Commercial Signage and

Peerless-AV Team to Create Entry Signage at DSE 2013

Eye-catching Video Wall Welcomes Conference Attendees, Provides Gateway to Show Floor

LOS GATOS, CA – (February 26, 2013) – BrightSign, LLC®, the market leader in digital signage

players, announced today that it has been selected by Digital Signage Expo (DSE) conference

management to provide digital signage media players for the show’s entry display that greets

attendees as they enter the tradeshow floor. This is the third consecutive year that BrightSign

has partnered with signage industry leaders to power the eye-catching display, further

cementing the companies’ longstanding partnership with DSE.

“We’re enthusiastic about continuing our work with DSE, and we’re honored to be selected

once again to power this impressive display,” said Jeff Hastings, BrightSign’s CEO. “Each year

we strive to create a display that showcases what’s possible with digital signage today, and I

believe this year’s installation has raised the bar yet again.”

DSE assembled an all-star team to collaborate on the entry display for this year’s show. Flixio

Studios created a bevy of rich content that BrightSign’s market leading solid-state players will

then distribute to 13 Philips displays secured with Peerless-AV mounts. All told, the mosaic-

style installation covers an area of approximately 8 feet high by 16 feet wide, suspended 8 feet

off the ground by giant columns on either side.

“This installation is the focal point of the show, so we were adamant about creating a display

that showcases the very latest in digital signage technology,” said Chris Gibbs, president of

Atlanta-based ExpoNation, LLC, the producer of Digital Signage Expo. “To that end, we

assembled a team of leaders in their respective fields and believe that the final product will

convey the dramatic and exciting nature of DSE while welcoming attendees to this year’s

show.”

This year’s DSE installation is visually stunning, offering a modern twist on a traditional video

wall. The installation utilizes a new generation of Philips Edge-lit LED display technology with

thirteen displays of three different sizes alternating in landscape and portrait orientation. Flixio

Studios developed rich content that flows beautifully across all 13 screens. BrightSign players

provide flawless synchronization, engaging viewers with dynamic motion graphics that both

entertain and inform conference attendees.

!

BrightSign players control Ethernet synchronization of brilliant Full HD content across all 13

screens. Using BrightSign’s free, open-platform BrightAuthor signage management software,

the 13 presentations were easily developed and synchronized to create the seamless playback

effect. One BrightSign unit acts as the master player and the other 12 act as clients, linking

playback based on the synchronization commands sent from the master. BrightSign’s media

players are purpose-built for digital signage, providing state-of-the-art features and

performance via a non-PC, solid-state platform. BrightSign’s solid-state architecture delivers

greater reliability at a significantly lower cost than PC-based solutions. BrightSign’s multiple

networking options also enable remote content updates, monitoring and management of

installations large and small.

Pricing & Availability

BrightSign players are available from the BrightSign store. Models range from $250 - $700.

Distributor pricing is available upon request. BrightSign’s BrightAuthor software application

runs on all late-model PCs and is included free of charge.
