▼ Contact started in 2007 It was only in 2011 that I really studied it and began to write reviews of some players. There were almost more than 30 models played, from 1073 to 1185, and then to 1186, which was a flash in the pan. Of course, some models of the SIGMA camp were also included. Following the advent of Android smart players, it quickly occupied the market share of most players. In the past two years, the comprehensive intelligence of TV sets, coupled with the constraints of radio and television regulations, has largely limited the development of high-definition players. Many small manufacturers have long disappeared, and only a few well-known brands remain. Cabol is one of them. At present, there are many channels for people to obtain audio-visual information, , computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc., so the status of HD players cannot be the same as in the past. However, there are still some people who have a higher pursuit of film and television, which can not be given by smart TV, mobile phones and tablets. It is precisely because of this pursuit that the player manufacturer's enthusiasm for research and development has come into being, as well as the latest flagship product I want to introduce to you today - 0 Blu ray 4K player.


▼ Speaking of Cabol, I think it is no stranger to high-definition audiophiles. In 2005, Cabol launched the first domestic Blu ray player, which at that time set off a blue ray craze for the domestic high-definition player industry. Since then, domestic Blu ray players with many brands have sprung up, China's film watching equipment has also officially entered the era of blue light. Headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, Cabol is also the first high-definition player and the first intelligent player in mainland China After years of development, Cabol has become a national high-tech enterprise that independently produces, develops and sells intelligent high-definition playback equipment. It has signed strategic agreements with many chip manufacturers, such as Amlogic, Rockchip, AllWinner, etc , China Telecom, China Unicom and other well-known brands have established long-term and sustainable partnerships, with more than 3 million users in more than 60 countries and regions around the world.

▼ Let's first take a look at the relevant hardware configuration and selling points of this flagship machine King, and see if it really deserves its name. First of all, it uses a 64 bit eight core nanometer CPU processor with Cortex-A53 architecture. The GPU uses a relatively powerful PowerVR G6110 graphics processor, which supports OPENGL ES3.1, and the image processing is faster and more delicate. DDR3 2G High speed memory+32G body storage space makes the machine run more smoothly. HDMI2.0 output standard, transmission broadband up to 18Gbps, compared with 10.2 under 1.4 standard Gbps transmission is faster and data output throughput is greater. Support H.265, 10bit 4K@60 Frame hard decoding; The ninth generation KIUI system is more concise; Support 7.1 times audio track; Blu ray 3D; Local film poster wall function, automatic and accurate matching, automatic download and generation of cover, automatic synchronization of film introduction and Douban rating; Support downloading subtitles online; Support 6T or higher capacity hard disk. These above all represent that the internal strength of Q10 cannot be underestimated, and the name of "flagship" deserves its reputation.


▼ The outer package of Cabol Q10 adopts a black theme, with some printed words, which seems to be high-end. The portable design is also more humanistic. It's really tiring to hold that heavy thing without a handle. Besides, this kind of packaging will give people more face!

▼ The family photo is very simple. The host * 1, remote control * 1, HDMI HD cable * 1, power adapter * 1, manual * 1, and two antennas have been installed by me. Although there are not many accessories, the quality of the photo is still unknown, especially the HDMI HD cable, which is not of the same grade as the standard cable we usually see.

▼ Kebor Q10 adopts All metal mold, wire drawing panel, the whole volume is very large, it looks very solid, the whole body has only one physical button, which is the power switch key on the left side of the front. The front large display screen can display a lot of content when playing locally, which is very good in the experience process. The built-in hard disk, and the remote control adopts the full key design.

▼ At the lower left corner of the machine, the functions and configuration highlights of Cabol Q10 are concentrated: 4K Blu ray, 64 bit eight core CPU, Blu ray 3D, H.265 coding hard solution, 2G large memory, 32G storage space, exclusive automatic poster wall function, full format support.

▼ The overall shape of the machine tends to the mature and atmospheric style, and every detail shows the quality.

▼ On the back of the machine, in addition to two detachable high gain antennas, from left to right, there are power interface, USB3.0 interface, USB2.0 interface, gigabit network interface, reset hole, coaxial interface, optical fiber interface, color difference component interface, composite video interface, audio output interface, HDMI HD interface. These interfaces are absolutely in line with the configuration of the flagship model, and can basically meet all the needs of audiophiles for high-definition viewing. The 3.0 USB interface also greatly improves the external transmission speed of the machine.

▼ The hard disk compartment is designed on the right side of the machine in a push-pull design.

▼ Cabol Q10 adopts independent hard disk slot and screw free design, which makes hard disk installation extremely simple. It can be completed with one plug and one push. It has a built-in nondestructive hard disk extraction rack, which can achieve 100000 times of nondestructive plugging and unplugging.

▼ The bottom of Cabol Q10 is supported by four round foot pads, and the high ground clearance ensures the effectiveness of heat dissipation to a certain extent. Each foot pad is equipped with a rubber pad, which can prevent slipping and shock, improve the stability of the machine, and thus reduce the noise generated by the machine.

▼ In In terms of power supply, Cabol Q10 is equipped with a 12V steam 2A power module with 110-240 inputs and 3C certification. The standard output power of 24W can meet the working condition of full load and full load of the machine.

▼ The remote control adopts the full key position design, and is accompanied by the glow in the dark mode. In addition, the remote control also adds the learning function, which can simultaneously control the Q10 and the home TV on one remote control, to a certain extent, reducing the number of remote controls in the living room, and simplifying the operation steps. In order to cooperate with the Android system, the remote control also has a thoughtful design of the mouse mode, However, there is still some lack of responsiveness in the experience, which can not bring users a perfect virtual touch experience, and further improvement is needed.

▼ The net weight of Cabol Q10 has reached 3.5 kg, which is more than 7 kg. It is indeed made of solid materials.

▼ The LED display in front is also very good, superior to most players on the market at present.

▼ Compare some of the previous players with Q10, so that everyone can see the size of the players, and they will know.

▼ The front mobile phone is 5 inches in size.

▼ Cooperate It's really good, but I don't have 4K projection at present. The price is too expensive, and I really can't afford it.



▼ Cabol Q10 adopts the latest KIUI9.0 on the system interface. The interface is simple and clear, with five flat main menus, and the background pictures are spliced by multiple movie posters. This interface style is very similar to the UI that was popular in 1185. Now many smart box interfaces are too cumbersome and repetitive. In contrast, I prefer this lightweight system interface.

▼ Press the up button of the remote control to enter the shortcut menu of the application program. You can add customized programs here, and put some commonly used programs here, which is particularly convenient to use.

▼ Here, you can set any program to start by using the menu key, such as some online video platforms. In addition, you can also unload and clear data from applications.

▼ The setting interface of Cabol Q10 has been customized based on the Android native setting interface, which is more consistent with Operation habits.

▼ HDMI display options.

▼ Cabol Q10 supports sub era source code output, DTS-CD Spdif source code output can bring users deeper hearing enjoyment.

▼ Cabol Q10 supports online upgrade and local upgrade, but generally only the official version of firmware can be upgraded online. Most of the internal test versions still need to be downloaded to the USB flash disk for local upgrade. The methods are relatively simple and can be understood at a glance.

▼ The interface of Cabol Q10 in the local file management is also very simple, which can correctly identify the hard disk partition, and also supports the safe ejection of the storage device, effectively ensuring the security of the data in the hard disk. This design is relatively user-friendly.

▼ In the document management interface, we can also cut and copy documents, which is full of functions.


▼ In the local broadcast test, I first used the Anthare video evaluation software to conduct a general survey, and the result was a bit unexpected. It is reasonable to say that as a flagship model focusing on Blu ray 4K, it should be all sizes for local high-definition, but the test results showed that two test films were stuck.


▼ List of supported movie formats:


▼ Now let's start to use the test film in the hard disk to see the real strength of Borr Q10, and start with 4K film.

▼ The vast majority of 4K movies can be played perfectly, and the effect is very good. There is no jam.

▼ But for some more than 100 Mbps 4K movies cannot be played, which indicates the hardware capability set limit. But this problem occurs on a flagship model. Is it really good?

▼ After the latest H.265 video coding scheme passed the standard at the end of last year, it finally entered the practical stage. From the perspective of the playback effect, the video file using H.265 coding is very amazing. It can achieve several times the ultra-high definition image quality of H.264 at the same bit rate. It is also the transmission of 1080P online video, which only requires half of the H.264 coding. With the help of new encoders and sampling, The optimization is excellent under the large dynamic picture. With the same volume, the image quality of H.265 is nearly twice as fine as that of H.264. In the future HD trend, H.265+4K is the real 4K. For such videos, Cabol Q10 is also easy to win.

▼ As a Blu ray 4K player, local playback is naturally the main feature. Cabol Q10 supports multiple formats of external subtitles, and can be switched by one button through the remote control, which is very convenient. Of course, it is more intuitive to select through the menu. Unfortunately, for the original Blu ray film, Cabol Q10 does not support Blu ray navigation.

▼ Audio track also supports one button switch and menu selection.

▼ For many high-definition fans, downloading subtitles has become a little troublesome since Sagittarius was closed. Cabol Q10 specially took this into account and designed the subtitle download function carefully, so that we can easily get rid of subtitles.

▼ This "The Second Coming of Christ" has been on my hard disk for several years, and I can never watch it without finding the proper subtitles. With Cabol Q10, everything becomes really simple.


▼ Cabol Q10 supports active 3D, which can be set through the 3D button on the remote control, or through the menu when playing 3D movies. It also supports the function of 3D to 2D, with 3D projection or It's very good to have an immersive tour of blockbusters.








▼ The poster wall function can definitely be one of the biggest highlights of Cabol Q10. This function is also the dream of countless HD enthusiasts. Click the up direction key on the main interface to enter the "local video library". The first step is to scan the video files in the local hard disk for online matching. In order to achieve the matching accuracy as far as possible, Tips: Try to use the prefix of Chinese name for the film.

▼ The matching speed is also relatively fast. Basically, all films that meet the requirements can be matched successfully. Most of the failures are non film video files, such as some short films or self portraits.
▼ The NAS server on the network can also be added to the local video library.


▼ This is a well matched video library interface, which feels like an online video platform.

▼ The films are also classified. The accuracy of classification depends on the film settings of Douban.

▼ Each movie will automatically generate an introduction and Douban score. (Click to enlarge)

▼ You can also edit and delete the generated content.


▼ Cabol Q10 supports network smb (Network Neighborhood) and network nfs are two sharing methods. The operation is simple. Automatic search can easily find the shared server in the LAN.


▼ The 1080P video content on the server side is played locally, which is very smooth, just like the local video.



▼ Relevant hardware parameters given by CPU-Z. 64 bit eight core processor with Cortex-A53 architecture, main frequency 1.2Ghz, PowerVR G6110 graphics processor, 2G  DDR3 Samsung high-speed memory+32G body storage space, this hardware configuration is good.


▼ Anthare scored 39546 points, and the current mainstream smart box score is basically around 20000, so Cabol Q10 can score nearly 40000 points, which is enough to show its excellent hardware strength. The score is close to that of vivo X5Pro, which has always been "large memory, faster and smoother".


▼ The benchmark test result of Nenamark2 hardware acceleration is 59.5fps, which is a high score.


▼ CIBN provides online video content for Cabol Q10. It is also one of the seven major licensors on the Internet at present. It has a large number of legitimate film and television resources and has been updated at a good speed. It is a blessing for those who like to chase dramas.

▼ The classification of films and TV plays is very detailed.


▼ Online video screenshots: (click to enlarge)

▼ Of course, in addition to CIBN, we have many choices. According to our personal preferences, the open Android platform is good. We can install any software at will, without worrying about the forced deletion of users' software as Alibaba Cloud did a while ago, and also limiting the installation.


▼ Each platform has its own characteristics. Some update blockbusters quickly, some play them quickly, and some have clear sources


▼ For Cabol Q10, what it can do is not only let us watch movies and TV, but also a lot of things. For example, it can fry stocks on TV. Of course, "stocks are risky, and you need to be careful when entering the market". Especially at this time, it is better to be careful.


▼ My favorite nursery rhyme software - Bewa nursery rhymes, every one of my This software is available on all websites, and my daughter likes to use it to learn children's songs.


▼ News headlines: TV focuses on current events every day, which is more comfortable than mobile phones.



▼ Cabol Q10 does not support Bluetooth function, which makes me a little disappointed. I feel that as a flagship model, it is necessary to add Bluetooth function. It is more convenient to watch a movie alone in the dead of night or use a Bluetooth handle when playing games. Now we can only play games with wired handles, which is more or less binding. Generally, I play games on Android machines with "Chicken Simulator". The most popular games are arcade games and PSP simulator games. Thanks to strong hardware support, Cabol Q10 can run smoothly on the popular Monster Hunter 3 on the PSP platform The matchless serpent, Naruto, etc. are all large games with hundreds of megabytes or even thousands of megabytes. As for arcade games with smaller size, that's even more important.






▼ In terms of music, Cabol Q10 has chosen QQ Music as its online music player, which is very good, but high-quality music needs green diamonds to enjoy, and I always resist things that need money.




▼ After testing, Cabol Q10 can play most of the current audio formats, including common MP3, WAV, APE, AC3, MKA, DTS, FLAC, M3U, OGG, and supports CUE lists.



▼ 4K picture test:



▼ The last group of 4K pictures to see the effect.





▼ The power consumption of Cabol Q10 in standby mode is 1.55 W/h, the power consumption of no-load operation is 4.8 W/h, and the power consumption of attached 2T hard disk is 12.29 W/h. It is also very good to maintain such power consumption for such a large size.

▼ The noise of Cabol Q10 is very small, no matter it is empty or with a built-in hard disk. Basically, no sound can be heard. 34.7 decibels of data can be obtained through the noise tester, which is equal to the ambient noise at that time.

▼ The surface temperature of the machine is less than 10 degrees after Kebold Q10 plays high-definition movies on the built-in hard disk for two and a half hours, which is also related to the low ambient temperature.

▼ The maximum temperature of the built-in hard disk at this time is 19.3 ℃, and the heat dissipation effect is very ideal.

Conclusion: As a flagship model of Blu ray 4K, the Kibor Q10 is perfect in appearance and workmanship. The high-end model is of great quality. It not only has excellent local broadcasting ability, but also has excellent online film and television. It takes into account both high-definition enthusiasts and online drama followers. The function of local video library is a highlight. Online poster wall and online subtitle download are very convenient for users. However, I think the remote control needs to be improved to make it more suitable for the operation of the system. The local broadcast system still needs further optimization to improve the support for high bit rate 4K movies, so as to avoid the name of "flagship".
