MOD Systems ®, Incorporated, an industry-leading provider of digital media delivery systems for retailers, today announced that Larry Smith, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development, will present at Digital Hollywood Fall 2009. Joining Smith at the panel session will be representatives from Sonic Solutions/CinemaNow, Entone, Gigantic Digital Cinema, redbox, Avail-TVN and DivX.
The “Downloads, Movies, DVDs – Everywhere Video to the Consumer” panel will be held on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 2:15 p.m. PDT at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel.
In this panel, experts will discuss how the latest modes of content delivery are making video available to consumers in new places and in new ways. From home broadband download to media-on-demand in retail, the future of video purchase and rental is poised to change. However, as consumers are presented with more options than traditional pre-packaged media, how will the entertainment landscape change? Will packaged media disappear? Will kiosks or broadband downloads rule supreme? This session will address these questions and more, as industry experts look to a future with video when and where consumers want it.
Smith has more than 25 years of experience in the entertainment, technology and retail industries throughout North America and Europe. Before joining MOD Systems, he served as the COO of North America at Archos, Inc., a manufacturer of small storage devices for mobile computing, and as the Worldwide Managing Director of Marketing and New Business Development for Archos, SA. Smith has also held positions with On Command Corporation and was a key sales, distribution and content acquisition player in the start and/or re-launch of EchoStar’s Dish Network, Request Television, The Home Shopping Network and CNBC.
The MOD Retail Digital Content Distribution System helps retailers bring an expansive library of digital content into their stores and sell it in convenient concierge and self-serve models. When retailers add digital delivery kiosks to their brick and mortar locations and other high-traffic areas, such as malls, convenience stores and airports, they expand a content owner’s distribution opportunities and related revenue. With digital delivery, retailers fill customer needs quickly and easily without requiring the stocking of pre-packaged inventory like CDs and DVDs.
