The outstanding advantages of Blu-ray hard disk players have attracted many audio and video enthusiasts to try, but there are still many friends are worried about whether the quality can reach a certain level, the performance is stable, how cost-effective, etc., recently just started a new generation of flagship 4K Blu-ray hard disk player open Bor Q10, take a look at how its performance, whether it is worth buying.
First, out of the box: packaging is simple + appearance quite atmospheric + interface design is simple
The rules of custom packaging carton and no bright spots, you can see the open 4K Blu-ray player open Bor Q10 black packaging, because the built-in mango TV video platform, you can also see the "Mango Moonlight" words.
After unpacking, you can see all the contents: 4K Blu-ray player, one Boron Q10 host, one 12V power transformer, one manual, one HDMI cable, two external high gain antennas, and three content resource credit cards.
They are video, education, and game content payment cards, which can provide users with a variety of functions. The player is not only a player, but also a rich content resource platform to meet a variety of different needs. This is also a trend in the future. Maybe in the next decade, the hardware itself will no longer be charged. The time will come. Pull away and continue to study the player.
Black aviation magnesium alloy wire drawing shell, the front face is a frosted metal panel, the metal control favorite, not only good heat dissipation, Yan value is also quite high. The size ofmm is obviously much larger than a regular TV box and should be very promising.
The finely-cut edges are also treated with a black lacquer finish, and the detail handling is not as rough and cheap.
There are shock-absorbing foam cushions beneath the thick floor mats, which can prevent the deterioration of the picture and sound caused by the vibration in the audio and video room, and ensure high-quality audio and video output.
Interfaces, an HDMI 2.0 (supports Blu-ray 4K, 3D video output, supports 7.1-channel audio) interface (next-generation audio track panorama sound effects can be perfectly supported), a set of AV (tri-color hole) output interface, a set of YPbPr (Color difference) output interface, an optical fiber (support 5.1 channel) output interface, a coaxial (support 5.1 channel) output interface, a set of left and right channel analog audio output interface can be used to connect active speakers. A network interface is used to connect to the Internet to watch online video and upgrade the system. The high and low versions of the two USB ports can be used to connect a USB flash drive or hard disk drive to read external video sources.
In addition, there is a pair of high-gain antenna on the back panel, with a built-in 150M wireless network card (support 2.4GHz802.11 b/g/n) for sending and receiving WIFI network signals, if you are reading a NAS file playback is best to use a wired network, Kaibol Q10 built-in 1000M adaptive network interface, through the optimization of NAS manufacturers such as Unicom, Qunhui, etc., the read speed is fast, the stability is not stuck; a 12V power input interface, a reset hole (RESET).
The right side of the player has a SATA (built-in hard disk drive) hard disk drive that supports 6TB capacity. It is very convenient to insert/remove the hard disk (lightly pull the door to open it, insert the hard disk and push it to lock).
The main purpose of the opener Q10 player is local HD playback, and the R&D team specially designed a simple human-computer interaction UI – KIUI 9.0, which is the Android 5.1 underlying + open borer custom KIUI 9.0 system.
The advantages of the Android system are obvious. Free use of open source can be customized according to the requirements. The software resources are abundant. It is easy to install various audio and video applications. Of course, there are disadvantages, because its own virtual machine operating mode feature consumes resources. The powerful hardware configuration is the basic guarantee of performance. Cortex-A53 eight-core 64-bit processor RK3368, PowerVR G6110 graphics processor, 2GB of memory (RAM), 32GB storage space, this 32GB for installing applications and storage, does not participate in the operation of the machine performance.
Although it is required by the standard of the mobile phone, this can only be regarded as a standard for the midrange player. However, for a player, this configuration is already very luxurious. I will not satisfy you for the irrational requirements of not taking a minute. (The player still looks at the picture quality, the sound quality optimization, the high calculation ability does not represent the overall quality is good).
In this era of swarms of 4K when buying points, hard to solve H.265, 60-frame playback is also a basic requirement, but as the various manufacturers have begun to popularize, the next hot spot should be HDR technology, with high definition after The importance of high-contrast is also becoming increasingly prominent. Kaibol's next-generation flagship or the next upgraded version should increase this function.
In fact, I personally do not like this simple, colorful design of the Microsoft METRO-style interface. I feel overly concise.
The function settings directly follow the interface of the native Android system. It is recommended that the designers make more efforts and do a "face engineering".
The wireless hotspot function can also be moved. For some routers in the room, the function of the player in the living room is still very practical. It is equivalent to the relay function. It transmits the wired network to amplify the signal and let the mobile phone, iPad and other devices wireless network signal is more stable.
The Android version is 5.1.1, and even pressing the 7th version number can also summon the developer mode.
The system version number is V1.0.28, and the current interface still needs to be improved. However, this 4K Blu-ray player, Kaibol Q10, supports online upgrades. Technical engineers will continue to improve this software system. I believe that the future will become more and more perfect.
Second, Mango TV genuine licensed part of the contents of the need to open members to watch
The Kaibol Q10 is a deep integration of the rich video resources of the Mango TV library. Apart from other popular movies, hit TV series, variety shows, and some of the Hunan Satellite TV's single-play programs, some of the hit TV series charges, but It is very convenient to pay fees, WeChat Alipay to get it lightly.
But can mango TV completely satisfy us? Obviously, the answer is no, because the requirements of the SARFT, the player does not have illegal live broadcast on demand software and related applications, then how to break out of the power of the original? Because you are using an Android system, this player can install an APK application based on Android, but generally you need to install the application first you need a file browser or a web browser. Obviously these applications are not available by default. Young people, this time you To calm down, turn on the cheats that come with the bonus.
Press the number key “5200†on the remote control and something magical will happen.
Third, learning light button remote control multi-key operation and practical
Details highlight the quality, and many times we will find that high-end products are full of sincerity in detail processing compared to cheap stalls. Because the light in the professional audio-visual room is relatively dark, it is inconvenient to operate various devices. In the high-end amplifiers and projectors that I have used, many remote controls are equipped with a backlight function, and you can easily see the various function keys. Easy to control, of course, the opener Q10 is no exception.
Although the opener Q10 remote control button looks numerous and numerous, it is also divided according to different functional areas. The commonly used buttons are not difficult to find in a fixed area. Of course, it would be better if the buttons that are not frequently used are reduced or hidden. Although these are inconspicuous details, they reflect the humanistic care of the product.
(On the right side is the operating guide of the Kaibol Q10 remote control learning function)
Of course, the above is not the point that I want to say. The learning type remote control is the highlight function of the real "shiny". As can be seen in the figure, there is a custom function area at the top of the remote control. Different functions can be defined for different buttons by the operation method on the remote control. For example, we set one of the power buttons to be the projector switch function through learning. The AV/TV button is set as the AV amplifier signal source switch or switch function, and the volume plus/minus button is set as the amplifier master volume addition and subtraction function. It is possible to remotely control the entire home theater system through the opener Q10 player. The remote control of the projector and amplifier can be retracted (in the case of the frame curtain. If the electric curtain is connected to the projector, it can be connected to the line). The degree of complexity of the home theater system is simplified.
(Compared to the remote controller of the other Blu-ray player Heidi Q10 in my home is longer, the button is more prominent)
Fourth, local film poster wall management function
If you've been to the movie bar (private cinema), you must remember the wall of the selection posters. Yes, the Kaibol Q10 also supports a huge video gallery poster wall. If the opener Q10 is a very bright player, the poster wall is definitely one of them.
Moreover, the poster wall can not only scan and match the video on the local hard disk, but also support NAS video resources to read, click the OK button to automatically start scanning the video library, match the movie via the network to the corresponding poster, movie name, poster, type, rating, actor Detailed information such as storyline, story, etc., can also create different types of index categories. At the same time, you can save the viewing history so that you can watch it without having to watch it. You can also collect your favorite videos in the massive videos, recommend them to friends, or review them.
(The correct file name makes it easier to grab the poster)
There are not many machines currently available for this function. Foreign Doune can, but it is not convenient to install additional software. However, if you want to implement other similar products, it is quite complicated and cannot automatically grab posters. Generally, you must manually Editing hard disk information, if there are 200 movies, it's going to be exhausting.
Fifth, online real-time "caption online download" function
The automatic matching and downloading of movie titles is my personal favorite. This is the main reason why I chose to start this player.
As we all know, most overseas Blu-ray original movies downloaded have little Chinese subtitles, and they still have to be searched and downloaded from the subtitles website. As far as the file format is concerned, PGS, SRT, SMI, SUB, SSA, ASS and other common subtitle files are all open to the Q10. Support) and then copied to HD player hard drive, it is troublesome. Kaibol Q10 supports global subtitles search, do not need to manually download and save the subtitle file, as long as the subtitle download function is selected after watching the movie after connecting to the Internet, there will be a lot of subtitles for the user to choose, directly download subtitles and match the calibration after selection, SO EASY .
Six, playback experience: test playback 4K, Blu-ray original disk, 3D film source
Test equipment includes: 4K Blu-ray HDD player, open Bor Q10, Japan Sharp Z600A projector, French XY-SCREEN 150-inch weaving sound screen, domestic U-NAS eight-bay version, Canadian hymn AVM60 preamp, American Super Voice EX - 7th grade, Germany TEUFELSYSTEM8 (THX U2 certification) speaker system.
As a player, the core function of the opener Q10 is, of course, local playback. Support for multiple file types and high playback fluency is the most basic guarantee.
Kaibol Q10 supports AVI, TS, TP, TRP, VOB, MKV, MP4, MOV, ISO, WMV, ASF, MPG, MPEG, FLV, DAT and other formats, and basically covers all the common video file types in the market. The same music file support format is also many, common audio file formats such as MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, AAC, LPCM and so on.
(Kal Bor Q10 plays lossless music)
The first to play is a 3D version of "Batman Wars Superman: Justice Dawn" that is stored in the player's built-in 3T hard drive. Switching tracks will be silent for 3-5 seconds, and it won't hurt. Wearing 3D glasses to see the depth and depth of the picture are very good.
A 39.43GB panoramic sound version of the Blu-ray original movie "Mad Max: The Rage of Fury" was replaced on a NAS server. Through the wired network connection, the play is smooth and smooth. There is a few seconds of fast and fast retreat. It is not serious. The Gigabit network card is worth the money.
The quality of the signal source is the basis of good sound. The opening of the desert double-headed lizard crawling, the whisper of the dead soul and so on are restored by the Teufel S8 as if they were on the ground. The panoramic sound effects from all directions are fully displayed and the sound details are very rich.
The details of the picture also performed well. There was no serious color distortion and the layering was very good. I could say that I was using a Blu-ray player with comparable levels. If there is a difference, the picture contrast is slightly weaker, but It is obviously unfair to compare products with double prices. For this price, it's worth it.
("Crazy Animal City" stills)
The 4K film does not have it at hand. Only some demos such as roast duck can be seen from the delicateness of the screen. Compared with the traditional 1080P image, it is not very impressive. (Of course, the projector itself is not a 4K class. , there will be a big impact).
In fact, I'm more looking forward to improving the contrast. Simply improving the definition can only let me see more of the flaws on the heroine's face, but it's less the film sense that the cinema should have. This kind of bright color is like a real painting. General beauty.
to sum up:
The Kaibol Q10 is a very distinctive 4K Blu-ray HDD player. Many highlights are brought together to form the reason why I would like to start it!
Disadvantages: UI interface is relatively simple, such as support for Blu-ray navigation is not enough, can only achieve simple Blu-ray navigation (this is the chip decision, no way, Marvell, sigma this chip is supported).
Benefits summary: powerful hardware configuration 2G + 32G with high, rich, practical features, such as the local film poster wall management capabilities, subtitles online download function, I really made this old Blu-ray enthusiasts deeply experience the local playback to find the source and Network download subtitles can also be very simple!
There are good hardware and display effects, of course, with a rich content resources, the combination of software and hardware can play the greatest value of a TV. In terms of content, it is recommended to install a sofa butler - the sofa butler is a third-party app store designed specifically for smart TVs, Android box users, carefully providing television, box users with high-quality TV exclusive version of the application, including with live Or on-demand video and audio and video software, various types of recreational competitive video game software and daily office entertainment management system management tools.
