Watch TV in another way, fewer ads! Two portable "TV boxes" comparative evaluation

Write at the front:

The Internet TV box is actually not a new topic. A few years ago, the release of the millet box, a rich feature network video resources changed the habit of many people watching TV, it can be said that set off a wave of Internet TV boxes. However, as manufacturers tighten their advertising revenues in TV boxes, the time for inserting commercial content in video playback has also begun to increase, and long advertisements have waited for the TV box experience to become unsatisfactory.

As people watch television habits change, mobile video watching videos are increasingly sought after. Some “TV boxes” with the main function of screen shooting appear. Through a smart phone, a screen-smart hardware, and a large TV, For the user to bring a seamless and simple viewing experience on the video playback; and a variety of screen-casting capabilities, there is no long advertising in the TV program, to bring users a high-quality multi-screen interactive life.

Screen shot "box" features:

Nowadays, everyone is familiar with the “screen box” for shooting screens. There are TVs for iQiyi and cool open video sticks. In fact, these two products have many common points. For example, they are small and portable, and the screen is similar. With prices approaching, which one will suit us better? Here we compare the design of the two products, the screen-casting function, and the content resources, so as to select a screen-casting box that is more suitable for everyone.

From the design point of view, TV uses a plastic shell, circular appearance design, and through the set on the body HDMI, USB interface, use the two wires connected to the video signal output and power supply.

The cool open shadow stick is also made of plastic material on the quality of the casing material. The rectangular exterior design comes with a standard HDMI socket, which is similar to the design of the iQIYI TV TV.

From the design of the two products are very small size, the pockets of the clothes can be easily installed, is a portable design, if you travel frequently, not interested in the hotel's TV shows, then the two portable screen boxes Just for your business trip.

In the connection between the splash screen box and the TV, both need to connect to the USB port on the TV via the USB cable to provide power. At the same time, the TV has the HDMI cable to connect the TV and the TV. The included HDMI jack can be plugged directly into the HDMI port of the TV. There is not much difference from the connection, see personal preference for design.

Diverse screencasting methods:

In the video playback, the two screen-casting boxes need to download the corresponding mobile phone APP for the video program screen. In the screen-casting experience, from the installation search, the wifi password setting, the experience of the two products is basically the same; Need to find your favorite movie on the mobile phone APP, click "push this video" to cast screen to the TV screen to play, the playback operation is quite simple, and the traditional TV box is different from the cumbersome.

In the video content screening process, the TV does not prompt the player to play the video content at the mobile phone end. The cool open video stick will have a video screen and a display of the progress of the mobile phone in the process of screen shooting. However, it should be mentioned that the display of the video screen is not synchronous with the TV screen, and we don’t Need to watch on the mobile phone side, so the display of the video screen is basically useless.

In the screencasting mode, in addition to support for video content in the mobile phone APP, the TV also supports the screencasting function of Baidu's web disk, mobile photo album, mobile phone and other screens. Baidu's web disk is believed to be registered by everyone. In fact, it is mainly used. Conveniently, downloaded documents, pictures, and video resources can be viewed on different clients. With screencast support for TV users, it is more convenient to download the resources on the web disk through a large screen.

For a friend who likes to play mobile games, but is too repulsive to a mobile phone screen, the TV's same screen function allows you to experience the fun of mobile games on a large-screen TV. Try to connect the projector through the TV and use the mobile phone to play a game with the screen "cross fire line", that kind of big screen experience is really cool ~ ~

Let's take a look at the screen shot method of Cool Movie Stick. Of course, it also supports the screencasting of the video of the mobile phone APP. On the other screencasting methods, although it also supports the local resources for screencasting, it only supports albums, videos, and music. These documents, for applications such as Baidu's network disk and mobile phones with screens that are used at a relatively high frequency, do not support them at all, and are obviously inferior to the television experience.

Contrast of resources, the advantages and disadvantages are more obvious:

For the use of video "screen box", in addition to screen-casting methods, the content is also very important. Only by integrating rich video resources can the user bring a newer and more comprehensive film source. Currently TV can directly add up to more than 20 screen-casting applications through the APP, including iQIYI, Youku Video, Sohu Video, and other live video portals. It also supports the shooting of more than 200 TV channels, as well as the purchase of TV results. One month's worth of iQiyi VIP membership service is also available. More updated and popular videos can be seen first.

In addition, TV in the TV live channel, support HD, CCTV and various local channels, almost all of the TV live channels, can be said either video resources or live TV channels are extremely rich.

In the face of the video resources of TV Fruit, the content of the videos of the cool video sticks is a little less, and there is no new movie update. The May movie is still a trailer. Clicking into the channel's category is actually a network. It is an error. Although there are more than a dozen video applications, there are not many popular ones, and they do not support self-addition. In video resources, it is obviously not able to compare with TV.

On the live channel of TV, the cool open stick shows 30 channels that can be watched, but in the actual screencast, there are not many that can play smoothly. At first I thought it was a problem of my home network, but then I checked the netizens. The review found that these live channels could not be used. Looking at the date of the review was not a recent problem. Obviously, the official has given up the function of maintaining the live broadcast.

The operation of the splash screen box is inseparable from the remote control. The above is the design of the mobile phone APP remote control for two TV boxes. Whether it is the design of the interface or the operation of the function, it is believed that everyone will prefer to use the first TV APP remote control. Device? Commonly used five-dimensional keys, sharpness switching and television screenshots are quite comprehensive

In addition, there is a secret listening function on the TV remote control APP. Simply put, after the secret listening is turned on, the voice on the video is played out from the mobile phone, and the sound on the TV will be turned off. Then we can use the headset to connect. Listening on mobile phones and watching shows at night are not afraid of affecting family members’ sleep. The last thing to say is that the APP remote controls of these two TV boxes support the phone lock screen operation function. In fact, such a design is still quite practical.

Written at the end:

The screen-casting box is different from the traditional network TV box in playing operation, but the biggest advantage of the screen-casting TV box is that it can directly play the video content selected by the user, and is greatly controlled in the waiting for the advertisement. . On the video resources, it is a massive video of the entire network, which is “more complete” than the Internet TV box. At the same time, it also has a great deal of control in terms of production costs. Therefore, there is also a great advantage in terms of selling price. Follow-up, you can use the price of mobile phone VIP to see the contents of the three-screen VIP, more money.

Of course, the "screen box" of the screen-casting category is a relatively fashionable new category. Which of these two screen-casting boxes are brought to you today is more appropriate. I believe we all have a few. I believe that watching video on the screen will become the trend of watching TV in the future. Buy a TV. From now on, watch TV in another way!
