Why are you afraid to miss the TV show cats box 1S comprehensive evaluation

Unconsciously, BAT, the domestic IT giant B, who has focused on search, e-commerce, and social networking, has expanded into each other's fields, and has been fully involved in the Internet finance, social networking, and video entertainment.
In terms of online video, the scale of Baidu's iQIYI and Tencent videos is already very strong. Ali, as a latecomer, has no entertainment genes and has no choice but to use acquisitions and cooperation. Following last year's purchase of shrimp music and the establishment of the Digital Entertainment Division, in April of this year, it invested in China Huazhong and shares in Youku. The industry also once heard that Ali had acquired PPTV and Sina Video. Between rumors and rumors, Alibaba Video is undoubtedly a mystery.

During the double 11 period last year, Ali’s first TV box, the Tmall Box, was born. The method was used by some users for free. As the first test of video hardware, it received a lot of praise.

Now, the second generation Lynx Box has also entered the Tmall Electric City, named Lynx Box 1S, the appearance becomes more compact, configuration and system has also been greatly upgraded, the price is still 299 yuan. Here we look specifically at how this box performs.





The first generation of Lynx Box was co-founded by TCL, Skyworth, and Maike Electronics, while the Lynx Box 1S chose Foxconn, allegedly responsible for the design and production of the iPhone 5 production team.

In terms of appearance, the T-Box 1S had very obvious changes. It changed its previous design with a sharp edge, and the body was smaller and more rounded.

The entire back surface is matte sprayed, with a fine matte touch, and the front is still a cat pattern. Because the corners and corners are rounded, the comets are more alive. It is worth mentioning that the kitten's nose is the power switch and the blue breathing light flashes when it is running.



The back is made of ABS engineering plastics, and the surface is treated with a lacquer finish that is bright and eye-catching.



Compared with other TV boxes on the market, the 1M of the Tmall Box is quite thick, but it can be seen in the side of the fuselage around the groove, to a certain extent, play a good decorative effect, reducing the sense of heavy.



Configuration, Lynx Box 1S equipped with Amolgic 8726-MX processor (dual-core 1.5GHz, consistent with millet box 2), built-in 1GB DDR3 memory + EMMC 8GB body storage, support for 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi.

For the interface, one RJ-45 cable interface, one HDMI interface, and one USB 2.0 interface are provided to support external U disk. The original AV interface was removed. Some old-fashioned TVs need to be equipped with special adapters. I think this is a little bit of a hurry. After all, many TVs are not in retirement.

Alibaba Cloud OS is equipped with a customized version of Tmall. It integrates Taobao shopping, collects deals, and pays bills for living and water utilities.



The remote controller uses a 11-key program. Unlike the conventional remote controller, it uses a 2.4G radio frequency signal and is no longer subject to angle restrictions. According to the official, the straight line effective distance is 12 meters.







Let's take a look at the contrast between a couple of Lynx Box 1S and Millet Box 2:









The Lynx Box 1S runs a customized version of Alibaba Cloud OS. Currently it has been upgraded to version 1.7. Compared to version 1.0 of the Lynx Box, it has a large update on the interface and content.

In terms of system fluency, thanks to the overall improvement of hardware, the overall operation is smoother than the previous generation, and the application opening speed has also been greatly improved.



Like most boxes, the Metro style design uses left and right slides. The categories and settings that were originally located on the left are moved to the top and bottom of the display area respectively, and the aesthetic appearance of the UI is greatly improved.

In the "Recommendation" section, you can see the shopping elements of the Tmall box, which has a synchronized hot sale of Chinese food on the tip of the tongue. In addition, Ali integrates the functions of signing, sending and collecting treasures, and pursuing gold coins in many of his own products. The author tested for two days and presented them with 30 and 10 sets of decentralized treasures (100 sets of decentralized treasures = RMB 1).

Here we look at the resource richness of Lynx Box 1S through each section:

1. Film and Television


The "TV and movie" section is the most basic section of the TV box. The richness of resources directly affects the user's experience.

The video resources of the Lynx Box 1S are mainly from Huadian, and the number of resources is much larger than when the Tmall Box was launched last year. In addition, the classification is more clear and a lot of special modules are added. However, compared to other boxes, the advantage is not obvious. For example, the author did not search for "Vampire Diaries".











2. TV


The television section is not a TV drama section, but we often watch TV stations such as CCTV and TV. Based on the China TV platform, we support 15 central video channels and 36 video channels (including high-definition, standard definition, and partial duplication) in real-time.






Clearness is acceptable


The most important thing to mention is that China has provided dozens of channels of 7-day video playback. Any week's TV programs can be re-played. There is no need to worry about missing a show.



The catch is that whether it is a TV show or other TV program, each playback will include the previous advertisement.

TV shopping has always been a fashionable topic, of course, Ali will not give up, in the Tmall Box 1S integrated shopping section, built-in multi-cost, Alipay living payment and other applications.

Here's how we look at the shopping experience through the recent hot Chinese fingertips:





In the shopping interface, you can use the remote control's up and down keys to browse the products (all are high-definition large maps, can really revoke a lot of desire to buy), click the OK button to enter the product details:



Don't click "Buy Now" first, and there is a collection and rating view function on the right. The basic functions of computer shopping are all available.

Payment support SMS payment and two-dimensional code scanning payment two ways, I believe that may wish to directly the two-dimensional code of commodity payment directly on the bottom right corner, which can greatly reduce the user settlement process.













Mobile phone Alipay scan code, there will be the above interface, enter the mobile payment password to complete the payment.





Through the built-in Alipay Life Service, users can easily recharge their mobile phones, and they can also pay for water, electricity, and gas. If you use mobile Alipay regularly to complete these operations, then the payment on the TV side is a supplement.



The last part is the application section. All newly installed applications are displayed here. In addition, the application store and game lobby are integrated. The Tmall Box is able to run some medium-sized games smoothly, and its mobile phone app supports the gamepad mode. We will introduce later. .



The application store provides third-party video resources such as iQiyi, Youku, Taijie videos, and rabbit videos. If you cannot find anything in the “TV and movie” section, you may find it here. There will be surprises.



Setting the interface is relatively simple, the conventional several options are arranged in a list, and the aesthetics have yet to be improved.



The payment authorization can be turned on in the "Account". After the authorization, the mobile phone does not need to be confirmed by the mobile phone and can be paid directly on the TV.



In order to prevent bear children, it also provides a security lock function, similar to the mobile payment password, you need to enter the 4-digit password before payment.



It should be noted that the default resolution of Lynx Box 1S is set to 720P (50Hz), and it is better to adjust to "Auto" mode when you first use it.



Using the Tmall Box, it is necessary to try out the "Ali TV" app. By using the same Wi-Fi, you can connect and synchronize your mobile phone with your TV. It not only provides a virtual remote controller and a virtual game controller, but also integrates the push of picture video to the TV function. The playability and practicality are excellent.





On the same network, they are automatically paired after scanning. The main interface is a virtual remote control function that supports touch vibration.

In addition, it also integrates voice functions, so that it is convenient to open a corresponding channel when talking to a mobile phone, which makes up for the inconvenience of the TV terminal operation to some extent.





There are four kinds of remote control mode selections for left-sliding, and right-slip provides some interactive applications, such as QQ music's Qplay and other functions. Of course, the most practical or local projection function, you can put the phone pictures, video directly on the TV to play.















The actual test, using the APP's virtual gamepad to play some role-playing games is quite handy, the most basic direction, moves and other functions are available.

If you want a physical gamepad, you will be reminded to buy it while downloading the game:





Lynx Box 1S equipped with Amolgic 8726-MX processor, dual-core 1.5GHz, consistent with the millet box 2, with 1GB DDR3 memory, support 1080P full HD output, the following we have to actually test:







Due to processor performance and bandwidth limitations, 30FPS 4K video only has no sound, which is consistent with Xiaomi Box 2.



In terms of temperature power consumption, the maximum temperature during normal playback is 41 degrees and the power consumption is 3.7W.

Compared with the first generation of Lynx Box, Lynx Box 1S has made significant progress in appearance, configuration and content.

Its configuration is similar to the millet box 2, equipped with Amolgic 8726-MX processor, built-in 1GB of memory + 8GB body storage; but millet box 2 is the previous generation of products, taking into account the popularity of 4K still needs time, it is still not released now late.

In terms of system content, the 1.7 version of Alibaba Cloud OS running Tmall customized version has significantly improved UI interface, but it is still somewhat thin compared to other boxes. The video resources mainly come from China, and the number of resources is still acceptable. The feature is to support the simultaneous broadcast of TV stations.

The biggest highlight of the TV box is support for 7-day TV playback. With the integrated TV-Hua TV platform, you can watch any TV program within 7 days (15 central video channels, 36 satellite video channels), and you don't have to worry about missing any programs anymore. .

Using the Tmall Box, the corresponding mobile phone APP can not be missed. This application not only provides virtual remote control function, but also simulates a virtual game pad, which is more convenient when playing a role-playing game. In addition, this Ali TV also supports the promotion of pictures and videos on mobile phones to TV broadcasts, which are very cool and practical in everyday life.
