1.0 OVERVIEW

Welcome to Freedom

 ReAct

 — MTI’s next-generation interactive media 

player. This small, solid-state player provides customers with a powerful shopping 
experience by displaying rich media content (e.g., video or computer animation) 
on a TV or video monitor. 

This player operates by using a removable, flash memory card (SDHC) that holds 

media content (individual media files). The card also contains a configuration file 
that controls the playback behavior. This configuration file can be easily edited to 
develop a variety of custom applications.

The ReAct player is extremely versatile. It can be used as a stand-alone player to 

simply play media content on a monitor, or it can be used with triggers to create 
an interactive shopping experience. These triggers might be touch points created 
for a touch-screen monitor, push-buttons mounted next to the store merchandise, 
display posts that are part of an MTI Freedom

 display, or a combination of these.

When used as part of an interactive display, the system is typically configured to 
play a video ‘attract loop’ that catches the shopper’s attention when the display 
is not in use. When a shopper decides to demo a product (by pressing a button 
or lifting a Freedom post), this action triggers the player to switch and play the 
specific media content assigned to that product.
