Los Gatos, California-based digital signage media player manufacturer BrightSign announces that Denver-based Ping HD, which provides digital signage hardware, software, design, installation and other services, has granted preferred vendor status to Bright Sign.

Following extensive testing in both a development test environment and live testing involving multiple customers, BrightSign earned that status for its entire portfolio of Series 3 media players.

In the tests, BrightSign’s media players were integrated with Ping HD’s EngagePHD web-based content management system.

“We’ve created EngagePHD to be a very robust, feature-rich content management system for our customers, and we rely on BrightSign’s players to reliably serve up that content, without fail,” says Kevin Goldsmith, chief technology officer at Ping HD. “Tightening our collaboration with BrightSign is a great win for our customers, giving them a best-of-breed solution that encompasses some of the best content tools and digital signage hardware on the market today.”

According to BrightSign, Ping HD is a leading provider of innovative digital signage software solutions for all vertical markets, with an especially strong offering for the restaurant industry. BrightSign’s media players are already widely used in the restaurant industry.
