The Lightship Group has announced its new A-170 Video Lightsign airship. This revolutionary new technology can potentially be used to broadcast live TV, Internet sites, stock tickers, slide shows or virtually any other media on its full-color 30′ X 70′ LED screen.

This is the only ship of its kind in the world and its potential for advertising and brand identity is almost limitless. It can be changed in real time so an advertiser could promote a breakfast product in the morning and a lunch or dinner entree in the afternoon or evening on the same LED sign without having to land to change the data.

“Outdoor, TV, Radio, Internet, Print, PR, Event and Promotional marketing are all potential media avenues that can be accessed by the Lightsign airship. We have changed the traditional blimp media platform into a technologically advanced tool for the 21st century. The possibilities are endless, and the Sky really is the limit.”

This new Lightship/Lightsign debuted at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas last week and was a HUGE success!

Sanyo is technology partner for the project. 33,000 pixels — 3″ apart. Looks like a hit.
