GalleryPlayer and MusicGiants Partner

Partnership Expands GalleryPlayer’s Reach into the Burgeoning CEDIA Market

GalleryPlayer, the pioneer in HD lifestyle imagery, announced today its partnership with MusicGiants, a leading provider of the highest quality HD music downloads to the CEDIA market. Through this partnership, GalleryPlayer’s diversified mix of art, entertainment and sports imagery and photography will now be a part of the premium content offerings MusicGiants makes available to their service providers for state-of-the-art home theatre installations.

Currently, MusicGiants integrates with top hardware manufacturers such as Niveus, Crestron, Imerge, Audio Design Associates (ADA), Inteset, and Xperinet, to sell their premium HD music content through the high performance entertainment systems that are sold commercially through specialty stores and custom electronics dealer showrooms. Consumers can access and purchase the HD entertainment, including the new GalleryPlayer collections, directly through their media server and have it delivered right into their home theatres.

“GalleryPlayer’s HD lifestyle imagery transforms HDTV screens into visual experiences that are breathtaking; so expanding our content offerings into the custom home theatre, audio and visual market is a natural fit for us,” said Paul Brownlow, founder and president of GalleryPlayer. “We are excited to be working with MusicGiants and can leverage their digital delivery channels and add great value to their extensive customer base by delivering what they are ultimately looking for – more HD content.”

According to Parks Associates, a leading high-tech research firm, penetration of home theatre systems stands at an estimated 28 percent of all U.S. households. That percentage accounts for some of the most basic home theatres – including systems costing only $500 – to some of the more intricate home theatres that can range in price upwards of $250,000.

“Home theatre enthusiasts are always seeking out the latest in technologically advanced entertainment and GalleryPlayer addresses this need by making its extensive library of high definition lifestyle imagery available as part of MusicGiants’ overall package,” said Scott Bahneman, CEO of MusicGiants. “GalleryPlayer rounds out our HD music offerings with a variety of world class HD images that together provide a true audio and visual masterpiece for consumers.”

GalleryPlayer will be available via MusicGiants in June 2007.
