Las Vegas, NV, February 25, 2010 - During a ceremony held last night at the Paris Hotel, Omnivex Corporation, a provider of enterprise-level
digital signage software, was awarded two APEX Awards for the exceptional deployments of their software by the Portland Trail Blazers
Rose Garden Arena and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment at the Air Canada Centre. Both of these customers have used Omnivex Moxie
software to manage large visual communications networks throughout their facilities.
The annual APEX Awards represent a showcase of the digital signage industry's best work, The Awards honor innovation in the development
and deployment of technology in the global Digital Out-of-Home industry. Chris Gibbs, president of Exponation, LLC which produces Digital
Signage Expo said, "We received an extraordinary number of entries for both the Apex and Content
Awards for 2010, which is not only a reflection on the continued growth of the digital signage,
interactive technologies and Out-of-Home Network industry, but it is also clear that the work being done
is raising the bar significantly in terms of quality and excellence." Richard Lebovitz, APEX judge and
Editorial Director for DigitalSignageExpo.net said, "The level of excellence was very high this year. Those
companies receiving DSE 2010 Apex Awards represent the cream of an outstanding crop."

The second APEX Award won by Omnivex was in the Stadiums and Arenas category, for the digital signage network implemented by Maple
Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario. With the help of integrator Digital Display and
Communications, MLSE installed over 300 screens throughout Air Canada Centre at high traffic areas in intricately configured arrangements
to create a distinctive fan experience and improve the aesthetic appeal of the venue. Omnivex Moxie is used to run all of the screens and
was selected by MLSE for its ability to handle complex playlists, allowing them to easily manage all of the sponsor advertising and other
content unique to each location in the facility. "We wanted to transform the fan experience and make Air Canada Centre come alive and
felt that the right digital signage system would help us realize our vision," said Dwayne Brown, manager venue services. "This award and the
feedback we have received from the fans and our corporate partners confirm that we have succeeded in what we set out to achieve with our
deployment," Brown reflected.
This is the second consecutive year that Omnivex has won an APEX Award. "It is a great honor for Omnivex and our
customers to be recognized with these awards. It further reinforces our position in the industry as a forward
thinking and innovative software company," concluded Jeff Collard, president of Omnivex.
