VidOn AV200 is a very powerful Android Blu ray HD player. Its built-in VidOn XBMC Pro is very powerful, and it is the only Android player that perfectly supports Blu ray navigation. What about the specific experience?
The packaging of VidOn AV200 is very simple. The large Android Blu ray Box shows its biggest selling point.
The back of the package details the various features of the VidOn AV200, such as support for 3D playback, Blu ray, DTS sound effects, Dolby sound effects, etc. At the same time, the XBMC is completely transplanted, which is quite powerful for audiophiles.
VidOn AV200 is more targeted at audiophiles in terms of functions, so the remote control has more function buttons. Of course, in addition to the remote control, the remote control of the VidOn AV200 can also be switched to the mouse mode through the function, which is more convenient to operate.
The front of the VidOn AV200 is a transparent acrylic version, which is very beautiful, but less wearable. However, it can be well integrated at home, and will not appear obtrusive.
The surface of the VidOn AV200 is wrapped with a piece of aluminum and has a brushed pattern, which is very powerful both in texture and feel. Of course, you should be more careful when taking care of them.
USB HOST and SD memory card interface on the side.
Most of the interfaces are concentrated on the back. From left to right, they are Audio mirco USB、 Power input, HDMI, RJ45, USB 2.0 interface and optical fiber port.
It can be seen from the back that the surface of the VidOn AV200 is made of a whole piece of metal material, which is very good overall.
VidOn AV200 is a set-top box developed based on Android. Once you enter the system, you can see VidOn's own interface. The VidOn interface is clean and tidy on the whole. It lists some main functions with large color blocks and supports remote control or external mouse operation.
The VidOn interface has few settings, including network, display, sound and other settings. Further, you can jump into the original Android interface to set.
The VidOn AV200 uses a 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 quad core processor in its hardware configuration. The GPU is SGX544MP2 with 2G memory. Of course, this configuration is not good enough for some performance parties, but the biggest weapon of the VidOn AV200 is its fully transplanted XBMC. In terms of media playback optimization, the VidOn AV200 is much more refreshing than the Android set-top box I have experienced before.
Of course, the Andoird based VidOn AV200 has unlimited possibilities in terms of function expansion. You can install applications to achieve better function applications. In daily use, the memory of the VidOn AV200 is sufficient.
For VidOn AV200, a highly targeted video and audio player, its hardware configuration and application expansion need not be considered too much. The biggest and most powerful thing is its fully transplanted XBMC, which is quite professional in video playback and function operation.
VidOn AV200 can directly select different U ports to link to additional hard disks, and can correctly read the corresponding capacity displayed on the right. Click to play directly through the folder. Of course, the VidOn AV200 can play NAS through the network in addition to external devices, which can play the role of home audio and video center. Personally, I suggest that it is more convenient to operate the VidOn AV200 with an external Bluetooth mouse. It is still a bit awkward to use the remote control.
The VidOn AV200 is the world's first Android set-top box that supports Blu ray menu navigation. This function is very powerful. The figure above shows the play of Ice Age: The pictures of Dawn of the Dinosaurs can be said to fully support Blu ray menu navigation, which has improved the experience of VidOn AV200. If it is used with a projector, I feel that it really compares with the cinema. Of course, the prerequisite for supporting Blu ray navigation is that the film source requirements are high. The above figure shows more than 40G Blu ray iso original disc, so the download time is a bit urgent.
VidOn AV200 is the first XBMC player based on Android platform that supports hardware acceleration, and it has no pressure on video playback. Whether I download the Blu ray transcoding, the Blu ray original disk, or the DTS audio channel, I can achieve perfect decoding, and there will be no asynchrony in the sound and picture. In addition, the VidOn AV200 is much smoother than the Android set-top box I used to play with in terms of the smoothness of fast dragging and reading speed.
Of course, VidOn AV200 can also load subtitles, output audio and switch audio channels. To put it simply, the VidOn AV200 also supports what functions the XBMC supports, which is also the biggest magic weapon of the VidOn AV200. In addition, VidOn AV200 also supports AC3/DTS 5.1 SPDIF and DTS-HD/TrueHD HDMI pass through output, reducing the wiring requirements for building a home audio and video environment. At the same time, the support of VidOn AV200 for many audio outputs is enough for audiophiles to give full play to the home audio system.
The VidOn AV200 also supports the currently popular 2D to 3D function, which is of course more general in effect than the real 3D function. In addition to 3D conversion, VidOn AV200 also supports Blu ray 3D playback in playlist mode. Subsequent software upgrades will also support more playback functions and support.
The complicated remote control and simple instructions of the VidOn AV200 make it slightly more demanding for users, but from the perspective of the consumer groups it faces, it is also inevitable. VidOn AV200 is a product for audiophiles. It may not be as small as the current popular Android set-top box and its powerful hardware configuration, but its fully ported XBMC is very powerful in function and can despise the Android set-top box.
And VidOn AV200's support for Blu ray menu navigation, hardware acceleration, and high-definition audio output make it very powerful in terms of playability and functions. At the same time, many interfaces of VidOn AV200 make it very powerful, and it is well deserved as a home film and television center. The simple and generous appearance design and wireless network support are commendable in terms of placement and function expansion in the home environment. In terms of use, it is recommended to use it with a wireless mouse and keyboard, which may be easier and more comfortable than using a remote control.
