The Mango Moonlight Box brand was co-founded on May 15, 2015 by domestic cultural industry media giant Mango TV (MGTV), one of the authorized licensees of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and KAIBOER, a leading brand of high-definition internet players. Mango Moonlight Box H10 is the second eight-core box product jointly developed by Mango TV and Kaiboer. The product is positioned in the mass consumer market. It can meet the requirements of network playback and meet the requirements of local playback. It is a versatile player. After more than one week of use, I share with you the following product experience:

First, the experience of the equipment

LG U8500 4K TV, Harman 260 AV Amplifier, IPHONE 6 PLUS Mobile Phone, Kaibol H10

Second, product packaging and design

Mango Moonlight Bao Kai Bor H10 uses a kraft paper environment-friendly carton packaging, giving a simple and simple return to the classic feeling. The words “1” are printed on the front, which indicates that Kaibor’s leading position in the smart high-definition playback equipment industry. Number 1 is printed with the basic functions and applications of the product - "a key to direct", "time switch", "kindergarten album", "high-definition decoding", "smart TV system" .... and so on. The mango TV inside and Kaiboer's brand LOGO are printed on the front, which shows that the product is a combination of two software and hardware service providers.

Open the packaging box, neatly arranged family: host × 1, remote control × 1, power adapter × 1, HDMI cable × 1, instructions / certificate / warranty card triple × × 1, after-sales service card × 1, Battery × 1 (pair). Kaibor's remote control maintains a user-friendly design that is easy to use, with 0-9 digit keys below. The remote control is also more than the previous one-key direct access to mango TV, family photo albums and custom 2 shortcuts. Digital keys feel soft.

Mango Moonlight Bao Kai Bo H10 host follows the classic open Bor box mold, simple and generous. The four perimeters are carefully polished without scratching. The champagne-colored engineering plastic body looks like a metallic texture. The front of the box is printed with the open LOGO, the middle is the remote control receiving area, the work lights up blue, and does not display when standby. It is recommended that manufacturers optimize the red light when the remote control is turned off and standby, which is more in line with the user's habits.

Third, hardware configuration and interface

Mango Moonlight Bao Kai Boer H10 uses the RK3368 chip solution, eight-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 CPU architecture, the program has the advantages of low-power high-performance, to ensure the ability to run large-scale video games. With 1G running memory + 16G built-in flash memory, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI2.0 interface, the chip solution supports H.265 hard decoding and 4K output. After setting the output, it can support up to 4096X2160 60P. Products and supporting power video devices have 3C national certification.

The product adopts two external high-gain receiving antenna designs to ensure good reception and transmission of wireless signals. The built-in 150M wireless network card is compatible with 802.11b/g/n. This is a common market standard configuration and supports routers that connect to 2.4G. It is recommended that the manufacturer's subsequent upgrade products be able to support the 802.11ac standard 5G router. This can avoid wireless interference from multiple 2.4G channels in the home and enhance data receiving and sending capabilities.

There is a hard switch on the back of the machine. With this switch, users do not have to power on for long periods of time or they are on standby or frequently plugging and unplugging. Ensure the security of the product power. This is a good tradition that has always been open to Kabor and worthy of praise.

Another thing worthy of praise is that the product also provides CVBS's composite audio and video interface and L+R audio output port, to meet the connection requirements of some users still have CRT TV or lack of HDMI video input interface TV at home. Can meet the needs of some users who often use the computer through the HDMI connection monitor, L + R output speaker connection to achieve viewing and listening needs.

The product also has two 2.0 USB ports that can be connected to external hard drives for local playback or for installing APP software. With 100M adaptive wired network interface and a 2.0 standard HDMI output interface.

Judging from the hardware interface of product configuration, it can meet the needs of most users. From here, we can see that the product's design orientation is for mass consumers and guarantees low-threshold users' needs.

Fourth, UI operation experience, system settings and features

(A) UI operation experience

Mango Moonlight Bao Kai Boer H10 uses a new UI system - QXUI (Qiuxiang UI), manufacturers of UI system framework, functional applications, process interaction and UI design and other aspects of innovation, to create interface young fashion, easy operation and use, personalized Rich element operating system.

The UI system is more concise and easy to use than the KUKI system that has been open for many years. The topic is outstanding. Familiarity is simple, so that those traditional and complex operating methods can be converted into using only one remote controller. By gently clicking the left and right buttons and the OK button, you can watch it pleasingly, without having to take pains to find a program or application. All operations have become "intelligent" and truly, television has become smart for one second!

V. Playability experience

(a) online play

Mango Moonlight Bao Kaiboer H10 has Hunan Satellite TV Mango TV genuine license, users can demand on-demand Mango TV platform on the official HD video, machine hardware support 4K playback and video encoding H.265 hard decoding. The platform provides 1080P HD area and H265 area, select several of the film video playback, you can play smoothly, fast forward and backward operations will not be stuck. Fine quality does not fade color blocks.

(b) Local playback

The video formats supported by the box cover the current mainstream formats: AVI, TS, TP, TRP, VOB, MKV, MP4, MOV, ISO, WMV, ASF, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG, FLV, and so on. Audio format support: MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, AAC, LPCM and so on. In order to verify the blue-ray playback capability of the machine, two Blu-ray disc sources with a capacity of 40 G or higher that tested for Blu-ray playback capability were selected. One of them was a 3D source. The video playback software that comes with the box is fully functional, and has settings such as playlist, play mode, 3D playback settings, subtitle selection, track settings, and screen aspect ratio. In addition to the subtitle selection function, subtitles that have already been downloaded or taken from the tape can be selected, and subtitles can be automatically downloaded. The 3D playback setup supports playback of left and right, up and down 3D sources, and can convert various formats of 3D video into 2D viewing, although it can be viewed without wearing glasses. Track settings allow users to switch between multiple tracks. The aspect ratio of the screen can be set to full-screen, 16:9, 4:3, and original size to watch.

After verification, the playback of a local large-capacity 3D Blu-ray source does not result in a stall, which is enough to prove that the H10 has a powerful Blu-ray 3D local playback capability. However, the following problems have also been discovered: Although a box source decoding output is set in the sound, the AV power amplifier can only recognize the DTS decoding and does not correctly identify the DTS-HD sub-daily audio track. When playing a large-capacity Blu-ray source, the sound decoding is not smooth enough. In addition, the H10 also has a fast LAN and NAS reading function. As long as the shared computer or NAS server and the box are on the same network, the box can quickly identify and quickly access the video source to meet the needs of home multimedia interactive playback. .

Sixth, summary

Over the years, I have always been concerned about the development process of Kaibor. In today's day-to-day market competition, homogenization, Kaibol can maintain the leading position in the industry can not be separated from 10 years of accumulated experience in R & D, with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television authorized Mango TV In-depth cooperation is even more powerful in its development.
