preface

As a firm company in the box market, Cabol's products have always been favored by consumers with excellent performance configuration and comprehensive and stable practicality, and its brand users are also highly viscous. This X5 TV box is a new TV box launched by Cabol. This product focuses on the high configuration of 64 bit ten core core to achieve the top quality of real 4K pictures.

1、 Product packaging

Cabol X5 continues the design concept of Cabol brand in terms of packaging style. The simple style of blue and white color matching on the large "1" densely enumerates the selling points of this product.

From the orange logo on the corner of the box, we can see that Cabol X5 has adopted Mango TV as the license plate, which means that a lot of Hunan Satellite TV's exclusive content can be seen on X5.

It can be seen from the LOGO on the top that Cabol X5 belongs to Mango Moonlight Treasure series.

In addition to the instructions, there are three cards attached to each product: CIBN one month membership card, my name is MT game experience card, and the whole family will learn one month experience card together.

2、 Product design

In general, the Kibor X5 is standard in shape. The rectangular standard rectangular design and dual antennas can be said to be a typical "Kibor style", reflecting the original appearance of the TV box.

Kebor X5 follows the principle of simplicity in design, but it is not made into the small size of some boxes on the market. The main reason is that the flat square design will have good stability and is not easy to be dragged away. In addition, the large volume design is significantly better in terms of heat dissipation, especially in the summer when the temperature is high, which can ensure a more stable use state.

The front translucent part is LED display screen and infrared receiving part, which is similar to other Kebor box products, so I will not repeat it here.

The four sides of Cabol X5 are decorated with bright materials, making the original all black color matching very flexible.

The Cabol LOGO on the laser printed side on the left of the panel is very conspicuous.

Those who have used TV boxes know that signal reception often determines whether the viewing experience is smooth. Two external gain antennas are added to the Kebold X5, which is significantly improved compared with the single antenna configuration or the internal antenna configuration used by most TV boxes.

In terms of interface settings, Cabol X5 is equipped with a set of standard AV ports, two sets of full speed USB ports, one set of LAN ports and one set of HDMI ports. In addition, considering the safety of users, it is also equipped with a manual switch.

3、 Attachment

Cabol X5 is equipped with two remote controls, namely the infrared remote control and the Bluetooth voice remote control that can learn to watch TV from the set-top box. The former is close to the traditional remote control in design, while the latter is a standard smart remote control with simple style.

Both remote controls are powered by two No. 7 dry batteries. The operation mode of infrared remote control that can be learned is detailed on the sticker on the back of the remote control.

The infrared remote control creates the best balance between simplicity and complexity, taking into account the advantages of verification and ease of use, and supports the user's TV, movie one button direct access and other functions.

The other remote control is adapted to Cabol X5 through Bluetooth. It is also a common simple type in key layout. The top of this remote control is equipped with a microphone, which can realize human-computer voice interaction.

Including the Cabol X5 machine itself, all accessories have passed the national 3C safety regulation certification, which avoids the potential safety hazards of the product to the greatest extent.

In terms of license plate, Cabol X5 cooperates with Mango TV, so it completely adopts the content of Mango TV in content layout. The massive version content of Mango TV and the exclusive content of Hunan Satellite TV give Cabol X5 an absolute advantage in content. This is not difficult to see in the luxury lineup of movies and TV dramas. The movies provided by Mango TV resource library are divided into two categories: free and VIP free. The former can be watched for free as long as you buy a Cabol X5 TV box, while the resources marked with VIP free can only be watched by VIP members who buy Mango TV.

If the user selects a third-party resource that does not belong to Mango TV in the search results, the system will ask whether to download the corresponding third-party application, which is very user-friendly.

After that, I finished playing online resources on Mango TV resource platform. Let's take a look at the local playback capability of Cabol X5. Xiaobian selected 4K, H265, The current mainstream high-definition video resources such as Blu ray original disks are tested, and most of the Cabol X5 can achieve smooth playback.
