NexGen DS Changes Name to Media Sign Pro, Releases Major Upgrade to Their Mac Based Digital Signage Software

Irvine, CA July 27, 2010 - NexGen DS announced today that the company's shareholders and board of directors approved a name change to Media Sign Pro. In addition, the company has released a major software upgrade, Media Sign Pro version 3.1.

Media Sign Pro simplifies the creation of dynamic digital signage. Running on Apple® Inc.'s Mac OS X®, the world's most advanced operating system, this digital signage software provides easy to use tools to design true WYSIWYG digital signage content. The software is an all-in-one solution providing everything needed to create high quality messaging including a creator, scheduler, and player.

"Media Sign Pro was developed to be powerful and all-inclusive with the end-user in mind," states Chris Lee, President and Co-Founder of Media Sign Pro. "It really is a game changer, as it is the most user-friendly DS application available at a price that is hard to beat."

With the new software release, Media Sign Pro introduces a major advantage in a SaaS-centric market. Media Sign Pro has a "lifetime license" meaning the user will own the application for its entire lifetime. This software model will allow businesses in various markets to launch and maintain their digital signage solution for years to come with a low one-time investment.

These and other digital signage markets can greatly benefit from the simplicity and value of Media Sign Pro.
