BroadSign Delivers Content to SkyNet, ADTI Media's Giant LED Mesh Display, at the Democratic National Convention
The Digital Signage Software Will Enable Playback of Multimedia Content on the Revolutionary SkyNet(TM) Screen to Be Unveiled at the DNC

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."
