SAN FRANCISCO – Attendees at Google’s I/O conference this week got a good look at The Karaoke Channel TV App, by Montreal’s Stingray Digital.
The app, appropriately running on the Google TV platform at the confab, turns TV sets into high-definition karaoke machines. It is designed and optimized for the large screen experience and the app will deliver thousands of high quality karaoke videos to TV sets through Internet streaming in full 1080p HD quality.
"Stingray is thrilled that Google selected The Karaoke Channel TV App to showcase on Google TV at the Google I/O Developers Conference", said Eric Boyko, president of Stingray Digital, in a press release. "Being demoed at the Google Developers Conference confirms to us that adding this cutting-edge web TV app to our existing offering of karaoke products and services will add strategic value to The Karaoke Channel and Stingray Digital."
The Karaoke Channel TV App’s navigation will “make it quick and easy to browse, search and play songs and includes a full screen mode for the full karaoke experience,” says the company. The technology behind the app will instantly stream content to TVs connected to the Internet via computers, game consoles, set-top boxes or web enabled TVs, taking full advantage of the channel’s library of 8,000-plus licensed songs.
The app (pictured below) will offer a limited selection of complimentary songs in the style of such artists as Lady GaGa, Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift, to name a few. The free song list is updated monthly to ensure there will always be new and popular songs for users.
The entire catalogue of more than 8,000 songs will be available by subscription.
Availability and pricing will be announced in the near future.
