For Immediate Release
Pittsburgh, PA: Allin Corporation (OTCBB:ALLN) announced that it has secured an agreement with the San Diego Chargers to install Allin Interactive's Robotic Program Manager (“RPM”) Platform in QUALCOMM Stadium, home of the NFL San Diego Chargers. Installation of the RPM Server along with RPM Designer and Controller software, developed by Allin Interactive, will be completed before the 2006-2007 home opener on September 17 versus the Tennessee Titans.
Allin's RPM package, originally designed to populate, assemble, and control content for in-cabin TV program guides and public television displays on cruise ships, has been expanded to create a flexible platform for in-stadium messaging, sponsorship and advertising. Allin’s multi-element, multi-channel display server and software is designed to combine scheduled and instant graphical content in conjunction with pre-recorded video and live broadcasts to concourse, public and luxury suite televisions. The easy-to-use RPM Designer software allows sponsor graphics, tickertape messages and animations to be interspersed with pre-game, in-game, and post-game video to maximize the promotional value of the platform. In addition, the “instant delivery” component of the software package allows teams and venues to deliver locally-controlled full-screen advertising video and messages at designated game junctures. Multiple channel capabilities allow differentiated content to be delivered to different groups of televisions at the same time all while utilizing the broadcast network infrastructure already in place in the stadium.
“We are really pleased to announce our agreement with Allin Interactive for installation of RPM in QUALCOMM Stadium,” stated Ken Derrett, Chief Marketing Officer of the San Diego Chargers. “The combination of graphical elements and our live video feed is something that our sponsors and our fans have come to expect when they watch NFL games at home. Now we have the ability to provide up-to-the-minute updates and information for our fans as a seamless addition to our game action on stadium displays.”
“We are excited that the San Diego Chargers will be able to take advantage of the flexibility of RPM, including the ability to monetize the sponsorship real estate created by the system,” stated Doug Tempero, managing director of Allin Interactive. “RPM’s ability to populate screen graphics with real time scores and statistics was a key component of the Chargers decision to implement RPM.”
Allin’s first implementation of RPM in a professional sports venue was in October, 2005 in the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. Allin announced its first NFL agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars on July 24, 2006.
