  MELD	
  Technology	
  Inc.	
  and	
  BrightSign,	
  LLC®	
  will	
  demonstrate	
  at	
  DSE	
  
this	
  week	
  a	
  revolutionary	
  digital	
  signage	
  technology	
  using	
  the	
  world’s	
  first	
  low-­‐power	
  white	
  space	
  
transmitter,	
  the	
  MT300	
  Personal	
  BroadcastTM	
  station.	
  MELD’s	
  patented	
  wireless	
  network	
  technology	
  
enables	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  TV	
  "white	
  space"	
  spectrum	
  for	
  sending	
  HD	
  video	
  and	
  control	
  signals	
  over-­‐the-­‐air	
  
across	
  large	
  distances.	
  Using	
  a	
  BrightSign	
  solid-­‐state	
  player	
  as	
  a	
  streaming	
  content	
  source,	
  the	
  
revolutionary	
  MT300	
  can	
  broadcast	
  multiple	
  full-­‐HD	
  videos	
  or	
  up	
  to	
  100	
  unique	
  HD-­‐resolution	
  still	
  
pictures	
  in	
  real-­‐time	
  to	
  an	
  unlimited	
  number	
  of	
  TVs	
  over	
  a	
  single	
  white	
  space	
  channel.	
  	
  
	
  
During	
  Digital	
  Signage	
  Expo	
  (DSE),	
  MELD’s	
  unique	
  MT300	
  technology	
  will	
  be	
  demonstrated	
  using	
  a	
  
BrightSign	
  digital	
  media	
  player	
  in	
  the	
  BrightSign	
  booth	
  #1440	
  at	
  the	
  Las	
  Vegas	
  Convention	
  Center,	
  March	
  
7-­‐8.	
  	
  
	
  
Combined,	
  the	
  MELD	
  transmitter	
  and	
  BrightSign	
  player	
  deliver	
  unrivaled	
  geographic	
  coverage,	
  the	
  
capacity	
  to	
  efficiently	
  transmit	
  multiple	
  HD	
  video	
  streams	
  and	
  the	
  ability	
  to	
  control	
  many	
  receivers	
  
wirelessly	
  –	
  all	
  at	
  a	
  dramatically	
  reduced	
  cost,	
  compared	
  to	
  other	
  distribution	
  technologies.	
  These	
  
benefits	
  make	
  the	
  solution	
  ideal	
  for	
  signage	
  applications	
  ranging	
  from	
  airports, hotels and restaurants to
bars, schools and hospitals.	
  	
  
	
  
"The	
  reliability	
  of	
  tapping	
  into	
  a	
  dedicated	
  broadcast	
  channel	
  with	
  the	
  MT300,	
  coupled	
  with	
  the	
  solid-­‐
state	
  reliability	
  of	
  BrightSign	
  digital	
  media	
  players,	
  creates	
  a	
  totally	
  new	
  form	
  of	
  digital	
  signage	
  content	
  
delivery,”	
  said	
  Jeff	
  Hastings,	
  CEO	
  of	
  BrightSign.	
  “For	
  the	
  first	
  time,	
  wireless	
  multi-­‐channel	
  HD	
  video	
  
distribution	
  is	
  now	
  easy	
  and	
  affordable.”
	
  
“BrightSign	
  is	
  a	
  true	
  market	
  leader	
  and	
  visionary	
  in	
  digital	
  signage	
  solutions	
  and	
  we’re	
  very	
  pleased	
  to	
  be	
  
working	
  with	
  them,”	
  said	
  Jordan	
  DuVal	
  President/CEO	
  of	
  MELD	
  Technology	
  Inc.	
  “The	
  MT300	
  is	
  an	
  
excellent	
  accessory	
  for	
  a	
  BrightSign	
  digital	
  media	
  player	
  because	
  it	
  not	
  only	
  eliminates	
  the	
  complexity,	
  
clutter	
  and	
  restrictions	
  of	
  connecting	
  cables;	
  it	
  reduces	
  the	
  time	
  and	
  cost	
  for	
  deployment	
  and	
  content	
  
distribution.	
  By	
  shrinking	
  the	
  cost	
  and	
  complexity	
  of	
  the	
  same	
  proven	
  technology	
  used	
  by	
  professional	
  
broadcasters,	
  businesses	
  of	
  all	
  sizes	
  can	
  now	
  Personal	
  Broadcast	
  their	
  content	
  directly	
  to	
  any	
  DTV.”	
  	
  

	
  
	
  
When	
  asked	
  how	
  the	
  MELD	
  MT300	
  Personal	
  Broadcast	
  station	
  works	
  with	
  the	
  BrightSign	
  player,	
  DuVal	
  
explained	
  that	
  the	
  MT300	
  converts	
  the	
  BrightSign	
  output	
  into	
  a	
  terrestrial	
  broadcast	
  TV	
  signal	
  that	
  can	
  
be	
  received	
  directly	
  over-­‐the-­‐air	
  by	
  the	
  HDTV	
  tuner.	
  Then,	
  an	
  unused	
  channel	
  of	
  the	
  existing	
  broadcast	
  
spectrum	
  is	
  used	
  to	
  deliver	
  content	
  to	
  any	
  number	
  of	
  displays.
