MOD Systems to Discuss Opportunities for Transforming Entertainment at Retail at Upcoming Conferences

MOD Systems today announced that it will demonstrate next week its solution for using digital download kiosks to enhance the entertainment supply chain, achieving economic and ecological benefits over traditional optical media sales at retail. MOD Systems will showcase its digital download kiosk at the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG) Forum and Entertainment Supply Chain Academy (ESCA) events June 2-3 in Los Angeles. MOD Systems CEO Anthony Bay will also present at the upcoming Parks Associates CONNECTIONS: The Digital Living Conference, joining top entertainment and technology executives to discuss emerging channels and opportunities for secure digital content distribution.

MOD Systems is one of few companies with rights to provide digital movies in a retail setting, offering consumers thousands of new-release and catalog movies, television shows and music tracks for download to Secure Digital (SD) memory cards, flash drives and various home and portable devices. The solution presents tremendous economic and environmental benefits to content owners and retailers looking for pioneering strategies that lower costs, increase sales and drive promotional value for entertainment content. Together with strategic partner NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), MOD Systems will introduce its digital download kiosk solution at airport-based electronics retailer InMotion Entertainment stores next month.

“Self-service digital kiosks have an opportunity to redefine the economics of entertainment sales at retail, as they represent the only way to sell or rent a nearly limitless inventory of titles within a very small footprint,” said Bay. “Retail is still the dominant channel for entertainment product purchases, yet shrinking shelf space, out-of-stocks on popular titles, and new optical formats make physical media increasingly difficult and less profitable to inventory and sell. We’ve developed a system that breathes new life into the retail channel for content owners, and we’re excited to show that solution to the industry next week.”

Following ESCA, MOD Systems will participate in the Parks Associates’ CONNECTIONS: The Digital Living Conference and Showcase in Santa Clara, Calif. June 8-10. Bay will present on the panel “Expanding Consumers’ Digital Media Choices” June 8 at 5:15 p.m., following the conference-opening keynote. Bay will provide insights into the various technology trends that enable entertainment everywhere, such as accessing digital entertainment at retail, new secure content distribution options, and new video consumption and sharing methods such as the integration of cloud-based digital lockers.
