In 2014, it was definitely an eventful year for the video box. A series of policies of the GD General Administration Bureau had taken the lead in the booming internet box. Some companies that just entered the box market and wanted to get a cup of tea were left without a trace. Some companies have taken the risk and have entered this market.
Survival of the fittest is the law of nature's survival and the law of the market economy. There is a saying that is good to let the market adapt itself, or take the initiative to adapt to the market. Since the implementation of the GD policy, all aspects of the box market have been busy, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps, on the one hand, it can indeed promote the sound development of the box market.
Today, what I got was a box product of FiberHome, a bee box X5.
The bee box X5 packaging box uses a number of bee hive patterns, especially the front of the box with different colors of the hive together, so that the entire packaging box is a lot of vivid.
The upper left corner of the box is the logo of the mango Tv, indicating that this box contains genuine resources for mango Tv.
Below the back of the box is the product name, model number, serial number and other information
The interior of the packing box adopts a hierarchical grid design, and the remote controller, charger, and HDMI cable are all individually packaged. This is good.
To Zhang Quanfu
Wheat bee box X5 uses a black design, the box is not very light, the front of the box in addition to the identification of the wasp, there is no extra text pattern, simple and complete
The bee box X5 has various interfaces. The back of the box is the switch, power jack, HDMI port, AV port, SPDF port, and wired network port from left to right.
Two USB jacks and one SD card slot on the side
Box front indicator
The bottom of the bee box X5 is a dense heat dissipation hole, which can guarantee the good heat dissipation effect of the box during use.
Wheat bee box X5 uses thirteen-button remote controller. Generally speaking, the buttons of the remote control are hard and the touch is not very good. During the actual use, the sensitivity of the operation is not very good. The material and sensitivity of the remote control are expected afterwards. Improve it.
As a network box, through the above out of the box, you can see this product quite satisfactory, there is no place for color, in addition to the remote control buttons are more blunt, there is nothing to say nothing out of place.
In the process of getting the box experience, there has been frequent black screens, brushing the official new firmware, and this has never happened again. It is expected that before the product flows to the market, the manufacturer must do a good job of pre-testing. Like this kind of frequent black screen, more than one person will encounter it and it should be considered as a common problem.
Open the box, first a startup screen.
The entire UI design, whether it is using color or layout, is quite characteristic, giving a very refreshing feeling.
There are four pages in the UI system. They are Home, Movies, Applications, and Settings.
The bee box X5 is built with genuine resources of Mango TV. Mango TV is also used on other box products. It is a bit unpleasant that many resources are charged. The video aggregation software is the first to push Teijin video and spectator movies.
Application pages Users can add or delete applications placed on this page themselves. Very convenient to try. However, I personally feel that the function of this page will be better if it is on the home page. In this way, the user wants to use the application directly on the homepage, instead of pressing the remote control twice to see the application icon he wants to click.
Ui system design on the one hand to give people a visual aesthetic, on the other hand is to give the user the greatest convenience, there is a strong interaction.
Setting the interface, network speed and garbage cleanup are still useful.
As a network TV box, in addition to the appearance of good-looking, UI beauty, the smoothness of video playback is also very important. The bee box X5 uses a dual-core CPU and a dual-core GPU. This configuration is definitely not mainstream in the current box market, and it should be the hardware configuration level of the box last year. Of course, the number of auditors does not represent the fluency of the box. The dual-core Tektronix box still has better user experience than some quad-core boxes.
My home is China Unicom 4 trillion broadband. The broadband speed at night will be lower than during the day. Test the video playback effect of this box.
Mango Tv software exclusive 1080P area, I tested the online video playback capabilities of the next wheat box X5. The result is not very satisfactory. There is a phenomenon of stabling from time to time. When fast forward and backward, the buffer time can be longer. HD resources have Caton, and SD resources sometimes have Caton.
I also changed the spectator video software. There is also the above-mentioned problem of Caton. It should be that the box product hardware needs further optimization and improvement.
Through the above box-opening experience, we can see that the bee box X5 has a very honest product in terms of packaging, workmanship, and Ui design. However, problems such as poor feel of the remote control, poor sensitivity, and slight video playback do not affect the user experience to some extent. I look forward to improvements in this area.
