The self-developed integrated smart TV box is a multi-functional TV set-top box that integrates functions such as cable television, network TV, and video recorders. From the initial T1, T2 to X1, from the single-core to dual-core, the Thai letter box is now independently developed. With the quad-core machine X2, I was fortunate enough to get a Taishin quad-core machine X2 (engineering prototype) for the first time, and conducted a comprehensive test and experience. What is the difference between the Thai X2 and the previous generation product X1? Changes will be announced one by one below.
Taixin quad-core machine X2 features:
1. Cable TV terminal nationwide built-in cable TV smart card slot, insert the radio and television operators smart card, connect the cable TV RF input interface, through the cable settings can be watched radio and television licensed cable television programs.
2. More choices, network video on demand to support the development of a variety of Android TV platform based on the development of network TV applications, connect wireless wifi, massive network of high-definition video to see if you want to see 3. Quad-core flagship, leading new era of wired smart TV box new Quad-core, comprehensive speedup, enhanced functionality, and comprehensive hardware upgrades. Fast! Power up fast, change platform fast, run fast, kill all cable TV boxes.
4. One-touch recording, favorite programs that look and save immediately. By using the “video†button on the remote control or mobile phone, you can control the set-top box to record programs and connect U-disk, TF card or removable hard disk to store recorded programs.
5. Multi-screen entertainment, back-to-back, mobile phone, and Pad watching cable TV live broadcast live on cable TV or mobile phone via a mobile phone or a Pad. The mobile phone remote control implements push-to-play without any need to buy a small-screen TV in the bedroom!
6. Realistic 3D Blu-ray, MVC dual video 3D decoding, support for 3D Blu-ray movies, perfect 1080P HD video output, support all current mainstream video formats.
7. DTVOS system, content security easier to manage the mature download CA technology, equipped with a DTVOS operating system based on Android 4.42 system depth optimization. First, the kernel upgrade
The first major change in the Thai letter X2 is the upgrade from dual-core to quad-core, using the CrystalCrystal S805 ARM Cortex-A5 quad-core architecture, single-core nominal frequency 1.5GHz CPU, GPU is Mali450, said "Compared to AML8726- MX's Mali400 graphics processing performance increased four times." In other words, the Thai letter X2 is four times faster than its similar products T2 and X1 in image processing. At the same time, the S805 also added hardware support for 1080P H.265 video. At present, several major mainstream online video platforms in China have already opened H.265 channels. Compared to previous H.264, the advantage of H.265 is that it can use less traffic to achieve better results, that is, when watching the same high-definition video, H.265 requires less traffic, The buffer time will be shorter.
Second, the structural aspects
Third, the system has been upgraded
1. Thai X1 and T2 all use Android 4.22 system. The Thai X2 adopts the new Android 4.42 Android system. The operating speed and application opening speed have been greatly improved, effectively controlling the use of system memory, and making the video more colorful. The desktop runs more smoothly.
2. True 1080P 60H output, T2, X1 can only be on 1080P 50H, X2 is upgraded to 1080P 60H, the picture quality is greatly improved, the problem of up and down jitter on T2, X2 completely solved
3. Added audio settings to automatically switch to digital audio output. There is “HDMI passthrough†option in audio settings. It can realize next generation audio source output through HDMI.
Fourth, the Thai letter X2 removed the function of ground wave digital TV
In other words, the X2 digital high-frequency head is changed, and only the cable TV function is available. If you want to ground wave TV users, you can only choose X1. However, ground-wave television is not yet a climate, and there are too few wireless digital channels. Removing wireless functions can reduce the cost of the machine. If one day, the ground-wave television becomes mature, it is easy to add to it. , Thai letter and other X3 and other series models are not too late. The following figure is the channel search setting interface, removing the "wired" and "wireless" options.
As long as you have a good location, you don’t need to search and the channels are all restored.
Return directly to the main interface, you can watch cable TV
This is the effect of using the Thai letter X2 to receive the picture of Jiangsu HDTV
Five, Thai letter X2 test
CPU-z test
Ann rabbit test
Quad-core S805 running points is not high, it is generally, but the quad-core ARM and Mali 450 MP GPU, much stronger than the X1 and T2, S805 chip size is only 12mmx12mm, can be said to be the smallest box core chip, heat It will not be as high as it is. In practical use, the temperature rise of X2 is the lowest.
V. Taixin quad-core X2 core upgrade, more powerful
Some people want to ask, what aspect of the Thai letter X2 has improved? Here are just a few days of experience to share with you 1. The Thai letter X2 is watching cable TV, the picture quality is better than the X1, the picture is stable, there is no X1, T2 jitter problem, the channel switching is also a bit faster.
2. Because the kernel supports H.265 hardware decompression, X1 does not support H.265 format video files, X2 can support a. Play 0071.Arthur.Newman.RayEager.H265.mp4
b. Play H.265_Sample_6Mbps.mkv
c. Play H.265_Sample_1Mbps.mkv
Found in the test, 720P H.265 format, hard solution is normal, playback is very smooth, and 1080P H.265 format file, play a Caton phenomenon, this X2 may be an engineering prototype, the software is not yet mature, but also Need to be improved, after the products formally come out, should be able to be solved, because S805 supports 1080P H.265 hardware decompression
3. The kernel supports H.264 1080P hardware decoding, playing H.264 video files, very smooth
4. X2 has a hard decompression function, network TV is more smooth, live, on-demand video performance has improved
1. Set "decoder settings" of Youku TV settings "player" to "optimize hard solutions"
Youku TV plays movies, TV shows, decodes with hardware, fast, smooth pictures,
2. Taijie Video is a common live broadcast and on-demand platform. The live broadcast and on-demand broadcast in Thaige Video also increase the “hard solution optimizationâ€.
After the hardware optimization, the live broadcast effect is obviously improved, and the switching block plays more smoothly.
After the hardware is decompressed, playing LeTV HD TV shows is not the same, and it is much smoother than software decompression.
5. The game has also been greatly improved
Downloaded several games from the game section, running normally
1. "Samurai 2" is operating normally
2. "Need for racing" is running normally and the picture is smooth
3. "Hurricane Speedboat 2" is operating normally and the screen is smooth
The Taishin X2 has performed exceptionally well in games, mainly due to the powerful kernel and GPUs of the Mali 450 MP, which are much stronger than the X1 and T2. The online game is similar to the first-rate network set-top box.
to sum up:
The Thai X2 continues the X1's brilliance. It has a quad-core CPU and Mali 450 GPG, 1G DDR3 memory, and 8G flash memory. The X2 maintains X1's cable TV, multi-screen interaction, TV backhaul, cable TV wireless viewing, reservations and TV In addition to video recording and other functions, it also has H.264, H.265 hardware decoding capabilities, can support more file formats, has a significant increase in performance and speed, especially in network TV and games have greatly improved The X2 also uses the new Android4.42 Android system, which has significantly increased the operating speed and application opening speed, optimized the use of system memory, the video color is more beautiful, the image is more stable, and the desktop runs more smoothly.
Taishin X2 is worth having, it can replace any cable set-top box, free to watch the best choice for high-definition, both "cable television", there are "network TV", "walking on two legs" double insurance, live, on demand double Mistakes, but also regular video, can play games during leisure
Since the Thai letter X2 is an engineering prototype, there is inevitably a little BUG. For example, if you play H.265 1080P video, there is a Caton phenomenon. I believe that Thai letter company will solve it soon and the box will be even better tomorrow!
1. Cable TV terminal nationwide built-in cable TV smart card slot, insert the radio and television operators smart card, connect the cable TV RF input interface, through the cable settings can be watched radio and television licensed cable television programs.

The Thai X2 and X1 did not change in appearance, or the box, black and white streamlined sports car appearance, small and stylish, it is said that the X2 will have more colors for the user to choose
There are still so many interfaces, but the sorting has changed a bit, as shown below:
The location of the card is exactly the same as the X1
1. Thai X1 and T2 all use Android 4.22 system. The Thai X2 adopts the new Android 4.42 Android system. The operating speed and application opening speed have been greatly improved, effectively controlling the use of system memory, and making the video more colorful. The desktop runs more smoothly.
