MINNETONKA, MN and MONTREAL -- (Marketwire) -- 08/20/08 -- BroadSign International, a leading provider of software as a service (SaaS) for managing digital out-of-home networks are supporting Advance Display Technologies, Inc. (ADTI Media), a manufacturer of innovative display technologies, in the deployment of the innovative giant SkyNet™ LED sign to inform the delegates of the 45th Democratic National Convention that will take place in Denver, CO, on August 25-28.

According to ADTI Media, SkyNet screens are a "bigger, lighter, and brighter" alternative to traditional LED displays. The SkyNet scalable mesh display was launched into production in February of this year at ADTI's facilities in Temecula, CA. The installation at the Denver Convention Center is the first commercial showcase of SkyNet, and it has already attracted significant interest from advertisers.

Using ADTI Media's patented transparent mesh technology, SkyNet is flexible enough to wrap around the corners of a building and large enough to dress an unprecedented twenty stories or more. The screens are bright enough to be clearly viewed in full sunlight and can withstand severe weather conditions. SkyNet's lightweight design efficiently distributes the load to avoid the structural engineering required in installation of a conventional fixed-frame display. The less-than-three-centimetres-thick mesh can easily enwrap an entire high-rise building, creating spectacular graphics and video effects.

The 44-by-31 foot SkyNet screen is being mounted above the entrance to the Colorado Convention Center and will feature closed-captioned news, announcements and directions for the DNC delegates. The project is supported by advertising that will occupy a portion of the airtime.

The programming will feature a complex 60-minute loop with various types of content and the capacity to interrupt scheduled playback for live updates or urgent announcements. BroadSign's SaaS is used to plan, schedule and execute the programming and produce affidavits for advertisers.

"ADTI Media is now utilizing a BroadSign solution that allows delivery of a variety of static, Flash and video content from a number of our sponsors to the SkyNet installation in Denver during the DNC event. BroadSign's platform allows ADTI to preview, verify and schedule the content remotely from my office in North Carolina. We are then able to send the content and schedule over a secure connection to the SkyNet installation in Denver," commented Jody Thomas, ADTI Media's Chief Technology Officer. "BroadSign has been quite exceptional in supporting ADTI's technical and logistical content management requirements throughout the planning and implementation process for the SkyNet installation in Denver."

"To date SkyNet is one of the most innovative screen surfaces in the outdoor industry and our collaboration demonstrates the ability of BroadSign's software to accommodate any emerging cutting-edge technologies," said Brian Dusho, Chief Strategy Officer at BroadSign International. "We are looking forward to facilitating the Democratic National Convention and to future exciting and challenging deployments with ADTI Media."
