Broadcast International Announces Agreement with Fortune 10 Financial Services Organization

Broadcast International, Inc. (OTCBB:BCST) (“BI”) announced today a multi-year partnership between its BI Networks division and a Fortune 10 financial services organization.

Broadcast International will deploy a new digital signage network in 2,000 existing media equipped sites and continue to grow the network as the client expands its digital signage application within its 6,000 retail locations nationwide.

“We’re extremely pleased that BI Networks and our CodecSys digital signage solution were selected by this prestigious client,” said David Van Epps, senior vice president and general manager of the BI Networks division. “This implementation illustrates that network design and content delivery efficiencies can result in substantial cost savings for both new and existing digital signage networks.”

The new network replaces all existing media player hardware with Broadcast International’s CodecSys Media Receiver CMR-4000 updated by its proprietary enterprise control software. Once the conversion is completed by year end, the solution will allow Bl Networks’ client to reduce their annual spending on their digital signage network by more than 50%.

The CodecSys CMR-4000 is a multi-functional H.264 device which enables satellite, terrestrial or cellular delivery of media content to remote locations worldwide. The CMR-4000 allows for a wide variety of solutions on one platform for constantly evolving business models. It’s designed to receive, store and deliver digital signage, music and video content in MPEG 2 and MPEG 4-H.264, Flash, and a number of other formats. It’s enabled to receive live broadcast content as low as 3Mbps for High Definition feeds, while also supporting Video-On-Demand programming.

“Broadcast International has been delivering rich media content to enterprise customers for more than 25 years,” said Rod Tiede, president & CEO of Broadcast International. “We look forward to using this opportunity to further our position as a leader in digital signage as well.”
