(January 15, 2008)BroadSign International Inc., a leading worldwide provider of hosted software for managing digital signage networks, and Arbitron, Inc. (NYSE: ARB) announced earlier today they have launched a series of tests aimed at enabling third-party audits of BroadSign's proof of play reports, using Arbitron's PPM technology.

The goal of the first test, conducted in December 2007, was to verify whether the PPM devices could accurately detect Arbitron's inaudible code embedded in the loop of media files played on screens in a real store environment. The test was carried out in 2 convenience stores in Vermont. Both stores are part of the digital signage network operated by Digital Promo Network with the help of BroadSign's hosted software solution BroadSignTM Suite, which has been developed in Montreal, Qc.

According to Arbitron, the PPMs accurately detected the embedded code and the PPM's times of code detection precisely matched the media file play times as shown in the BroadSign proof of play reports. This high level of matching indicates that the programming loop and all its components played as scheduled during the test period.

"Arbitron is excited to work with BroadSign on identifying alternative applications for leveraging the PPM technology," said Pierre Bouvard, president of Sales & Marketing for Arbitron. "The place-based media space is a growing opportunity which needs trusted third-party measurement in order to maintain credibility with the advertising community."

"This is the first step in what we foresee as a major breakthrough in resolving the difficult issue of accountability of digital signage advertising," said Brian Dusho, chief strategy officer of BroadSign International. "Third-party audits of proof play reports will eliminate a lot of questions from advertisers and will help justify the billing and facilitate make goods. Audited proof of play reports will also add validity to impression counts and sales conversion numbers in retail."

The success of the first test opens the way to a series of additional tests before Arbitron's proof of play audits can become a commercialized service that can be used by any network run on BroadSign's software.

BroadSign International is a leading worldwide provider of hosted software for managing digital signage networks. The BroadSignTM Suite resolves the challenges facing operators of digital signage networks: the need for full campaign execution functionality, accountability and true scalability. The software enables operators to target out-of-home audiences, sell network airtime, reliably play back scheduled content on each screen and account for campaign performance. The enterprise-scale software makes it easy to manage media space inventory, view avails, as well as target campaigns by demographic and geographic criteria.
