Welcome to NBox!

Yesterday was Welcome Tea 2007. Other than the usual speeches, presentations and performances, the EXCO prepared a short promotional video clip. It's not very pro but they gathered pictures of all the events that took place in recent years, and combined with audio tracks to entice the freshmen to join the orchestra - kudos!

After the welcome tea was over, NUSCO's very own NBox opened for business. Like it's cousin K Box, NBox features all the basic karaoke features but with an added edge. Here's a quick review:

• NBox features projector screens. Its cousin uses TV screens that cater to a room of maximum 20 pax. NBox's projector screen display caters to auditoriums such as the one in CFA.
  

• NBox features 4.1 surround sound system. Combine that with a Reavey Bass Amp, no other karaoke system compares.
  

• One of NBox proprietary feature is live music. Forget about using a remote control to scroll through long lists of songs. In NBox, just say out the song title and the music starts immediately. It's that simple.
• With live music comes dynamic pitch and speed control. Depending on individual vocal range, the music changes its pitch automatically. And depending on individual singing speed, the music follows accordingly.

• The heart of the lyrics database is Baidu. The search is performed simply by saying out the song title. Once found, the lyrics is transferred to Microsoft Word and enlarged for easy-reading.
• Once the music starts, lyrics will also automatically highlight, just like any other karaoke system.

• In short, anyone who picks up a mic in NBox sings his/her heart out.
