As the initiator of the first converged network set-top box concept, Taishin’s products are also popular with consumers. Like the previous Thai T1 box, Thai T2 box and Thai X1 box, they all have a good response in the market. However, with the continuous advancement of technology, most network set-top boxes have entered the era of quad-core. In order to cater to the mainstream market, now Thaison has also launched a new network-top box TeXin X2 equipped with a quad-core processor. The hardware performance is more in line with the needs of mainstream users. Of course, this letter X2 in addition to the new use of the hardware Chen Yu S805 ARM Cortex-A5 quad-core processor, in terms of playback performance is also greatly improved, can support H.265 hard solution 1080P video playback. For users to watch online ultra-high-definition video brings a better experience, after all, H.265 hard solution can be reduced by about half the bandwidth requirements compared to the previous H.264 decoding.
Taixin X2 network set-top box in the design adhering to the X series of design style, and Thai letter X1 is almost not much difference, the overall use of a flat design style, and the mainstream TV box design pattern is the same. The overall look is small and stylish, not like the TV box of the Radio and TV Department is a monster. In terms of appearance color, the Thai letter X2 has two colors, black and white, to choose from, and this product arrives at the TV room evaluation room is black.
Taixin X2 network set-top box adopts streamlined design style as a whole, and there are not too many edges and corners, which can effectively prevent children in the home from accidentally bumping. At the same time, the appearance does not use a mirror design, but instead uses a more introverted matte surface design, and more easily with the style of home decoration.
In front of the STX X2 network set-top box, an indicator light is also designed. The standby status is red, and the normal operating status is blue. In addition to helping users understand the working status of the machine, it also increases the appearance of the entire set-top box.
Interfaces, the Thai letter X2 network set-top box is completely followed the design pattern of the Thai letter X1, has an AV interface, an HDMI high-definition output interface, a USB interface, a TF card expansion slot, DC power and digital television signals can be interface. Still quite comprehensive and in line with the needs of mainstream users.
Although the Taishin X2 network set-top box adopts a flattening process, users do not need to worry about the overheating of the set-top box due to the narrow space, because the Thai X2 is quite suitable for thermal design. Hollow ventilation slots are designed not only on the sides of the fuselage but also on the top plate. A large area of ​​hollow ventilation holes is also designed on the bottom surface so that the internal and external air can form a clear circulation and the heat can be excluded from the fuselage in time.
The cable digital smart card slot of the Thai X2 network set-top box is designed to be very concealed. The card slot is located on the bottom of the fuselage, which will not affect the overall appearance of the product.
On the remote control side, it seems that all Thai-style boxes use the same style of remote control. This is a 40-key remote control. In addition to the TV box's own function keys, it also provides a TV learning key zone for users. A remote controller can be implemented to control both the box and the TV.
While enhancing the strength in hardware and playback performance, the Thai letter X2 network set-top box also maintains its original advantages. Still installed is the DTVOS operating system, which combines the dual functions of DVB and OTT, allowing users to enjoy digital video while using SDR digital TV. Really achieve a box of dual-use, so that users do not have to frequently replace the digital set-top box and TV box, for the user's daily viewing brought great convenience. After reading so many new introductions of the Thai X2 network set-top box, I believe that many of my friends are already eager to learn more about the use of this network set-top box. It happens that a Thai X2 network set-top box has just arrived at the evaluation room of the TV home. Today, the author comes to experience the integration of this quad-core processor with a converged network set-top box.

Hardware performance
Taixin X2 network set-top box can be said to have fully enhanced the performance of the converged network set-top box, I believe we are also interested in the specific hardware performance of this first quad-core converged network set-top box. Today, the author passed the application of the security Bunny for the performance of Android devices, and tested the score for everyone.
According to the comment given by Ann Bunny for the test: "Strictly lawless, do not seek to reach the princes, but seek truth from the core" to see the performance of the Thai X2 should be the mainstream level. But what exactly is the case, but also to judge from the score after the test.
The test score of the Thai X2 network set-top box is 15,634 points. The ranking is only slightly behind that of the Red Mobile. It can be seen that the overall performance is still quite good. This is also the range of most quad-core network set-top boxes currently scored.
Let's take a look at the specific score of the Thai X2. The score for the processor is 3135 points, the memory score is 2260 points, and the GPU score is 5123 points. In terms of the hardware scores, the GPU performance of the Thai X2 is particularly prominent. We are looking at the evaluation given by Ann Bunny. CPU performance is normal and how much software can run. Memory performance is better. 2D graphics performance is better, 3D graphics performance is better, and most games can be played smoothly. Therefore, the Thai letter X2 is currently able to meet the needs of many users in video games.

Boot interface and system
As the representative of the converged set-top box, the Taixin network set-top box is naturally a big advantage, while the Thai letter X2 has retained its advantage while improving the hardware performance. Pre-installed is the DTVOS system. This system combines the dual functions of DVB and OTT, enabling users to enjoy digital video while using SDR. This eliminates the need for users to tangled up between broadcast and digital set-top boxes and network set-top boxes.
The DTVOS system is a reference to Android 4.0 and above systems and has been deeply customized. It integrates the DVB and IPTV basic interfaces and the DVB protocol stack, while referring to the NGB "Downloadable Conditional Access System Technical Specifications" and the "Guidelines" issued by SARFT. The NGB terminal middleware technical standard was born.
The main interface of the Thai X2 network set-top box is the coexistence of the cable digital TV and the OTT TV box function. If the cable digital TV is connected, the main interface will display the content played by the digital cable TV in the form of a thumbnail. The bottom button provides the application portion of the OTT TV box. If the user does not operate for a long time in this interface, the cable digital TV content will be automatically amplified to full-screen playback, so that the user automatically enters the cable digital television viewing. If the user does not want to watch the cable TV, clicking on the corresponding OTT TV box application will enter the video on demand function of the OTT TV box. Easily switch between digital cable TV and video on demand.
At the same time, when the Thai X2 is turned on for the first time, it will also provide users with a setup guide to guide the language, display ratio, network and other conditions, to help the initial use of the user can also be a good first time operation, you can let Users learn more quickly and quickly how to use it.
