What is the outlook for the millet box?

First of all, according to the teardown diagram, it uses the Taiwan Morningstar AML8726 dual-core CPU. This is the current market as long as the dual-core CPU known as the tablet is this one CPU, so the millet can not do promotional articles on the CPU.

1. About hardware

First of all, according to the teardown diagram, it uses the Taiwan Morningstar AML8726 dual-core CPU. This is the current market as long as the dual-core CPU known as the tablet is this one CPU, so the millet can not do promotional articles on the CPU.

The figure shows the fiber port, but the situation on the Internet does not have this interface output. In other words, you can look at the millet box as a tablet without a touch screen, IPS display, battery, and USB output.

These four pieces accounted for a large part of the cost (especially display screens and multi-touch screens, which can take up more than 300 renminbi), and the price of such tablets can easily be found on Taobao. So even if the price of the box 299 can earn a lot. Judging from the evaluation of the box, you can buy a tablet. Because everyone also uses HDMI output. This is basically the structure of an Android TV stick. Even your smart phone supports USB to HDMI can do it. However, the biggest problem of this type of CPU is that it dissipates a great deal of heat. It is not known what the Xiaomi box is for.

2. Peripheral input

From a simple video demo evaluation. His input seems to only use the remote control input. Because there is no USB port, you can be sure that the keyboard does not play, (do not know how expensive the single with this remote, this design is estimated to be cheaper). And such systems are now popular with smart phones using Wifi for remote control or as a gamepad. Interested parties can look at the open source XBMC open source project. It can be used as a remote control with Android and iPhone. And I think the domestic competitors have used this as a selling point. For example, this millet TV.

3. About its operating interface

Millet's main interface uses a combination of squares, it seems to go WP8 wind, but this interface can not be called Hyun?, said that he should look at the beautiful xbmc effect.

4. About video playback.

Since the millet box does not have a USB port and external storage interface, basically the local video can not be played, so what Blu-ray DVD like super-clear video does not talk about, so only discuss the network broadcast this situation. First of all, the next conclusion is that any player that can't play high-definition video smoothly is not worth buying. It's very simple. The movie with poor source is magnified to a large-screen TV. You can quickly realize that when you are young, you can Video recording hall to watch small video feeling. At present, only a few of Youku and iQiyi are known to be ultra-clear on the Internet.

I often use Mac OS X dual-screen function to put online video on large-screen TVs. Then I can feel the ultra-clear picture quality is shocking to the viewing effect.

But this is a tortured process for the player. The ability to use tablet wireless networks and CPUs is basically unstoppable. In addition, you can see overseas network streaming video services such as Netfix and the like, you are not really high-definition do not expect users to pay.

There is also a problem. Each streaming video must rely on the controls of each provider. The compatibility of these controls is uneven. For example, if my platform runs sohu tv or CNTV, it hangs. In some cases, Xiaomi cannot control it.

5. About the positioning of the millet box.

It seems that many people confuse the following players with similar structures. Hard disk high-definition player, such as the above mentioned picturesque, can be played on an external hard disk, or downloaded to the hard disk through the download software to play.

The TV set top box must be a device that has a TV signal receiving interface and an output port such as S-Video. Now Android smart TV is equivalent to being integrated inside the TV.

Web player. There can not be any source itself, relying entirely on the network to play video.

The millet box is behind this and has nothing to do with broadcasting and television.

On the contrary, the millet box is equivalent to an Android TV stick + main interface application web player. This application I said earlier on the network bandwidth and step source requirements are very high, unfortunately, to love Fan children test, the buddy took the remote control to move on the main interface for 14 minutes, in addition to read the word on the interface, I just didn't dare to enter a video to see the effect. Compared to Ray's rush to run, that was a lot worse.

So I saw in countless comments that this is for the elderly and children. First, please do not underestimate the level of computer operations for elderly and children with broadband families. Secondly, the dialing between the box and the home set-top box is to test the level of the old man. You told him to dial the line to watch the video, and then plug the cable back to the TV. He would not kill him. Of course, the customer is required to buy a big TV with a dual interface, but you are confident that he will not be confused by switching between multiple remote controls.

6. About marketing.

Xiaomi’s marketing is first-rate. It can be seen that N’s production of many similar products for many years has not caused such heated discussions. However, the product is too hard, otherwise it is easy to be borrowed for marketing. This is not, at least in this issue has been a detailed comparison.

7. Sharing features.

This year is almost a chicken threat, such as the mobile phone screen displayed on the TV simultaneously, this without a box, a high-end mobile phone can do it. As for the Airplay playback function, it is used to download and forward to the iPad. Still using ipad's video to go through the box to the ipad, how painful it can be to do so, because ipad can do it directly.

Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
