Powerful
The JB-199 mini II comes with comprehensive professional features following the tradition of JB karaoke series. It has the basic functions such as Pitch control, Tempo control, Sync control, Pre amp, Silence gap remover, etc. It has the advanced tools such as History, Announcement, Digital Mixer, International Interface, Advertisement, Bill acceptor, etc. It is based on Intel NUC architecture harnessing the power in a compact 4.6″ x 4.4″ x 2″ chassis.

The JB-199 mini II supports unlimited number of karaoke songs in CD+G, MP3+G, ZIP, AVI, MP4, and Super CD+G formats. It organizes the songs using a Playlist concept so that each song can be searched or played instantly and yet stored securely from accidental removal or overwrite. It also offers data encryption for added security and time lock for subscription management which can both be controlled remotely.

E-Songbook
E-Songbook is a device such as a phone or a tablet that connects to a karaoke player to select, reserve, and play the songs. Until now however, the E-Songbook required an app to connect to a karaoke player. And since the app was hardware specific, a different karaoke player or a different phone or tablet required a different app. This complexity discouraged customers from using their phones and tablets and led to the karaoke hosts providing E-Songbooks that are pre-installed with apps on the tables.

The E-Songbooks were also prone to connection failure, delays, and incompatibility. The connection failure came from non-standard app designs. The delays came from increasing contents. The incompatibility came from exploding varieties of new phones and tablets in the market.

The built-in web server of the JB-199 mini II solves the problems above. The devices can now connect to the player using standardized web browsers such as Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or MS Edge. Apps are no longer required. The connection is built upon the worldwide TCP/IP standard protocol, is fast and efficient, and supports all models of phones and tablets.

The Customer Interface that appears when a phone or tablet connects to the JB-199 mini II is as follows.

Customer Interface

It has the controls to search, reserve, play the songs, and also to change the pitch, tempo, and voice cancel. The controls are selectable in the privilege settings.

With the ease of connecting, there comes also the savings. The hosts no longer need to prepare the E-Songbooks. The customers can now use their phones or tablets with ease. The savings will continue as the hosts also do not need to replace the E-Songbooks that are dropped or drowned.

Through the option setting, JB-199 mini II also provides multiple privilege levels through which the customers can connect to the player. The lowest is to browse the song list but without the access to reserve or play the songs. The highest is to access all controls which is usually assigned to the hosts. All can connect to the player together and enjoy the karaoke within their different privilege levels.

Duplicate Remover

Duplicate Remover is based on comparing karaoke songs of their audio contents. It bypasses the file names, dates, or sizes that can be misleading and goes straigth to the meat of the songs, the audio content.

The Duplicate Remover is designed to compare the songs that are in Group A to the songs that are in Group B. Selecting the Group B to be same as the Group A would be to compare all songs with each other within the Group A.

A likely goal in using the Duplicate Remover is to maintain a song library that is free of duplicate songs and also to continue adding only the new songs. To acheive this, we recommend a practice as follows.

  • Make Group A and Group B to be your existing song library. Compare to find and delete duplicate songs in the song library.
  • For each set of new songs to add, compare the new songs to your song library. Find and delete duplicates amogn the new songs before adding.
Note that comparing songs for the firat time in your song library may require much time and CPU resource due to a large number of songs. Using JB-199 mini II with i5-1235P 12 core CPU, 16G DDR4 RAM, and M.2 2T SSD, cleaning a 5,050 song library requires 120 seconds and a 20,000 song library, 780 seconds. Note that with caching of digital finger prints, comparing repeatedly or using the same song library will require muich less time.

Streaming

A karaoke player typically plays the audio and video through the HDMI, VGA, or RCA outputs of the player. The lyrics show on a TV and the music sounds through the speakers.

JB-199 mini II with a built-in web server however can stream the audio and video outputs at the same time as it plays. That is, it can stream the music and lyrics to the phones and tablets that are connected in a network. The phones and tablets will then play the music and lyrics using their own screens and speakers becoming satellite portable karaoke players.

With streaming, the customers connected to JB-199 mini II are not tied to a center TV or a main stage. They are free to move around carrying the lyrics and music from their own phones and tablets. They can enjoy the karaoke anywhere, i.e., outdoor, pool side, on deck, etc.

Online Karaoke

JB-199 mini II also allows customer to connect using Internet rather than a local network. This enables the customers from far away locations to join together online, for example, families and friends who are apart across the states.

The JB-199 mini II can accommodate 10, 20, 30, or even 50 such customers connecting together online. Each customer will have the customer interface with controls, music, and lyrics. Together with a face to face meeting from a video service provider such as Zoom or Skype, everyone can enjoy the karaoke online, just like getting together in a local karaoke lounge.

You can sing solos, duets, quartets, or all together in online karaoke. The music and lyrics will stream directly from the JB-199 mini II. For a free trial, go to CAVSKaraoke.com.. You can join an open karaoke lounge or host your own online karaoke party.

Subscription Services

The JB-199 mini II comes with subscription services from song suppliers, such as Party Tyme and Karaoke Cloud. Fully licensed, over 20,000 plus songs are updated automatically and daily making sure you have the newest and latest songs.

The subscription songs can be available for a day, a month, or a year. And whenever available, they will play seamlessly together with your own collections.

Record Your Singing

JB-199 mini II can continuously record all singers during a show or an event. It will then automatically parse the recording into each individual songs and save them onto its server.

It is able not only to play the international songs but also display and search the song lists in any language, including Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, etc. It also provides convenient hand writing tools as well as customized on-screen keyboards for each language.

INTEGRATED MIXER CONTROL

The JB-199 mini II offers fully integrated mixer control when connected together with the CAVS DK3 Digital Karaoke Mixer. The mixer control will appear in the JB-199 mini II customer interface as shown below.

Customer Interface with DK3 Mixer

Touch the mixer button and you will find the control sliders for Music volume, Microphone volume, Echo, Reverb, Master volume, Balance, etc. You can customize the slider selection in the setting.

Integrated Mixer Control

Note that the mixer control appears inside the customer interface of the JB-199 mini II, and the customer interface appears inside your phone, tablet, or an E-Songbook.
