[PConline evaluation] From the crazy news of Apple TV, the electronic technology industry has aimed its sights at the living room, resulting in numerous new products, but no matter how much hype the manufacturers are boasting, the current launch of the product, its design concept Still do not jump out of the category of Apple TV, all the products we have seen so far, only to do some basic functions on Apple TV expansion.
Even so, we still benefited a lot. From the millet box, the set-top box market began to blow-out. From 4xx to 1xx, there are an endless number of set-top boxes based on Android. There are also self-owned licenses, and there are also shelters for borrowing from the homes. There are numerous lists of unlicensed players. This time, the home appliance channel from the Friends of the channel received a TP-Link launched TP mini big-eye set-top box, and today we take a look at the details of it.
â—Product specifications
We list the main specifications of the product for you, which boils down to the following specification.
From the hardware specifications, this product is not much different from the current popular TV set-top box, the price of 359 yuan is not high, and provides a higher quality camera. Let's take a closer look at this product.
â—Product introduction
TP mini big eyes is a set-top box that integrates a wireless router, an Android system, and a camera. The hardware configuration has a 200w camera and a wireless router function than the millet box, and the latter is obviously the strength of TP-Link.
Although the packaging box is not small, but there are not many accessories inside, product texture, due to the use of a polished plastic shell, TP mini big eyes of the overall work is a little regrettable, because the glossy is very easy to stain with a fingerprint or grinding For the flowers, the author prefers to choose a matte matte finish. Second, due to the use of the mobile phone App for control,
Due to the large size, the front of the product provides a rich multimedia functional area. The camera is centered (there is a very small power indicator), the left side is the power button, the right side provides external memory expansion interface, in addition USB is Eaters can even support gamepads.
On the left side of the Micro SD jack is a clear microphone within five meters of the microphone
Further functional expansion will depend on the back of the set-top box, with an additional USB interface on the back, and the support type is exactly the same as the front.
The output interface is an HDMI1.3 interface, theoretically unable to support 4K, I am afraid even if there is, smooth play is also enough. After accessing the network cable interface, it can realize the function of the wireless router. The media has tested its wireless signal strength. If the residence does not exceed 50 square meters, it is estimated that it can still be competent.
It is estimated that many friends will care about the installation of the product. After the trial, we feel that the convenience of installation is completely free of problems, and the compatibility is not low. The elasticity of the bottom thickness plus clips should meet the requirements of all flat-panel TVs on the market. However, the degree of solidity is not sufficient, and slight bumps may cause instability.
The bottom nameplate can't see too much information. This stuff should be produced in Shenzhen. The design and processing capability of the electronic products in the Pearl River Delta is not weak, and local production can't be normal anymore.

Like the Bimi box I had contact with before, this TP mini big eye is not a product that has undergone an in-depth transformation of the Android system. Its interface is similar to the many flat MIDs that we have contacted. After connecting to the TV, it basically Is a touch-free large tablet MID.
TP mini big eyes use Android4.1 operating system, the interface only made a slight change.
As a TV set-top box, of course, we are most concerned about its video playback capabilities, but what MID can do, it can naturally take it all. Therefore, Youku and PPS are completely stress free.
Familiar Youku Home
Completely flattened Youku interface
In order to test its playback capability, we tried to click on a Hong Kong drama that is currently popular, "Love Home," which shows that its interface is basically the same as the Android phone and tablet, and the controllable options of the setting interface are very user-friendly.
Not only can you set default playback preferences, but you can also select audio tracks. This is an important reason for the author to use it as the main video playback software.
Skip headers, direct simulcast and other settings are definitely chase drama is absolutely necessary chase drama.
The preview, evaluation and selection interface design is very user-friendly. In addition, it also provides a drama introduction. However, these are not the author's most concern, let's take a look at SDTV, HD, ultra-clear specifications, TV box performance capabilities. After all, because of the lack of progress in a certain office, if we use cable, even 480 resolutions are difficult to achieve.
In the SD setting, the color patches on the faces of the characters may be blocked, and the details may not be clear. However, if the screen is moving, the quality of the 55-inch TV can be accepted within two meters. However, the level of quality may even be digital cable signals. Not as good as.
Entering high-definition is not the same, the picture quality is obviously improved, and the exquisite degree can already kill digital TV.
Into the ultra-clear, compared to high-definition, picture quality is relatively limited, but the bandwidth becomes very high, our 4M ADSL telecommunications broadband will have a longer pause after fast forward.
After a comprehensive comparison, we suggest that if you use Yuku to pursue drama, HD mode is the wisest choice.
As a 55-inch MID, TP mini big eyes should have enough consciousness, yes, TP-Link does not have a similar version of Google's original version of a major revision, whether it is the Google market or player, clock, it is pure original of. Therefore, you can install live broadcast software to watch online TV broadcasts. Assuming you are using an HDMI-capable monitor, it can also turn your monitor into an Internet TV.
In addition, Thunder download is also one of its selling points, through this application you can download a variety of BT resources stored in an external hard drive, so that you can throw away the HTPC, on the issue of external memory playback quality please patiently Read it.
Turn on the camera and adjust the magnification to the maximum. You can see that the picture quality is very good and the color is very obvious. Ordinary video chat can also meet the requirements, but it is still used to take pictures. The digital zoom really does nothing.
The product is also very intimate to provide a manual App, do not understand where you can not find instructions everywhere, this stuff can be used without a network state.
Another selling point of the product is multi-screen interaction. In fact, the mobile phone App controls the TV box is already multi-screen interactive, but this application can further expand the multi-screen wireless interactive function.
After the DLNA function of the mobile phone is turned on, the mobile phone can directly search for the mobile phone, and after tapping the mobile phone, various data in the mobile phone can be browsed.
As long as the license is shared, it can be read freely.
After the front panel is connected to the Micro SD card, the set-top box can also directly play high-definition video files. When playing back “Journey to the Westâ€, the quality level of the set-top box is similar to that of an ordinary HTPC with an on-board graphics card.
In fact, the HDMI output is a digital signal, if the bit error rate can be accepted, its impact on picture quality is really not great. If all the bottlenecks are, it may be the real bottleneck in the TV itself.

Price analysis
The price of 349 yuan, after the launch of big eyes in Jingdong sell out of stock, which fully demonstrates its market appeal. Imagine buying a wireless router nowadays to be close to 100 yuan, planing this cost, the price of big eyes is not expensive, in addition, people also provide a 2 million pixel camera, through which you can video chat with friends Therefore, it can be said that the cost of this big eye is very good. As an unlicensed set-top box product, the big eye is estimated to be a side-by-side strategy, which also makes the subsequent use cost almost zero.
However, there is no physical remote control people always worry, if you can configure a remote control, more expensive twenty yuan I am also very willing to bow.
Evaluation summary
Everyone chooses the TP mini to be able to explain the problem, in fact its performance is really good, in addition to expanding the interface slightly thin, the outer surface of the polished surface, we really can not find it there is what people are not satisfied with the place . If you need to buy a wireless router in the near future, and you also intend to get rid of the dependence on cable TV, then TP mini big eyes are definitely for you.
