Video call little artifact, visual X1 box big secret

As early as the last century's film and television drama works, video call scenes often appear, and video calls are the trend of development in the 21st century. However, until today, video calls have still not really entered millions of households. There are many reasons for this, and the limitation of hardware conditions is one of them. In recent years, smart hardware has developed rapidly, and many hardware products have attempted to popularize video calling functions. Today, Xiao Bian brings you a television box that can be used for smart video calls, the X1, which not only allows video calls, but also looks after nursing homes.

Next, follow the small series to experience the visual X1 TV box.

First, open box articles

Pure white box, with product design draft as the pattern on the box surface, the slogan of “openable visible world” of the box mouth is very appropriate, the overall feeling is refreshing without losing the sense of science and technology, the packaging design can see Butel's unique vision, different It is most challenging for other domestic companies to be simplistic and simple without losing the connotation.



Inside the box, a visual box host, an infrared remote control, and a power adapter were placed in an orderly manner. In the lower right corner, there was "There is an attachment inside."





The frosted panel is used for the remote control, and the bulge is adopted in the middle and lower part. It will not slide in the hand, and it is very stable and has texture. All the keys are within the operating range of the thumb. Xiao Bian's own hands are not large. This section can easily control the remote control. For most users, it will not be a problem, and long-term use is not prone to fatigue.





Second, the appearance of articles

The mainframe of the visual box adopts a streamlined shape, which resembles the appearance of a military telescope and looks like a glider. The whole shape feels like flying. The whole is sleek and stylish, with a black and grey outer shell, full of sense of science and technology, and can be well integrated with most TVs. In addition, the visual box is different from other TV boxes. The most significant difference is that it comes with a 720P HD camera. Just as her name is “Visual,” this is a TV box with video calling capabilities.



The visual X1 camera has a wide viewing angle. The 120 degree wide-angle 720P high-definition camera has a 3.6-meter portrait and 5.3-meter horizontal mid-sized living room fan-shaped area. The camera is suitable for mainstream small and medium-sized homes. When you use it, you can also rotate it up and down to adjust the camera's viewing angle to get the best picture.

In addition, the X1 has also added an anti-stealing design. When not in use, you can rotate the camera so that the back of the camera is facing out. This way, even if a Trojan appears in the box itself, it will not be successfully photographed.



The “Butel” in the middle of the top is the answer button, which allows you to answer the call with one key. It is very convenient. On both sides are two loudspeakers, with a six-sided shape and symmetry. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the sound has a three-dimensional sense.



The visual box retains several more practical interfaces from practical applications, which are concise and orderly, at a glance. From left to right are: power interface, Ethernet interface, USB interface, Micro SD expansion slot and HDMI high-definition interface.

USB interface: External HDD can be added to add more storage space. You can also insert a USB wireless mouse or game remote control to achieve mouse, game remote control and other operations.
Micro SD expansion slot: Most other TV boxes have built-in fixed-capacity memory, which makes the TF card expansion interface more scalable.
HDIM high-definition interface: The mainstream TVs and monitors in the market are all equipped with such an interface, and plug-and-play can be easily realized by using the data line that comes with the visual box. Conditional homes can also connect projectors for cinematic audiovisual enjoyment. Even older TVs not equipped with this interface can be connected as long as a separate HDIM to AV converter is purchased.

Careful friends will find that the visual box does not have a power switch, as long as the power will start standby, which is related to his main function "video call", as a communication device, of course, need to be open for a long time, no power switch is not difficult understanding.



At the bottom is an angle-adjustable back clip, with anti-slip pads inside and outside, and it can be fixed on the tabletop, wall-type storage rack, and the top of the TV. If you want the camera to obtain a relatively large viewing angle, a better solution is to place the visible X1 box on the TV.






The visual X1's appearance is distinctive among the many smart TV boxes on the market. The right buttons, adjustable cameras, and a solid stand make the Visual X1 a very high level of appearance.

Third, software and hardware

The visual box uses the Android 4.4 system, dual-core 1.6GHz processor, 1GB DDR3 memory, 4GB flash memory. This kind of configuration is also a relatively high configuration in mainstream boxes. The use of security Bunny hardware evaluation software test, 15445 points, the horizontal comparison is roughly close to the performance of the Xiaomi 2 mobile phone, performance eye-catching.





In terms of system UI, the interface of X1 is simple and simple. The main interface only has four primary menus: “Visual”, “Film and television”, “Housekeeping”, and “Application”, where “Visual” corresponds. Is a video call function, "watching" corresponds to the video surveillance function, these are the features of the visible X1. The common menu of the mainstream box is only "film" and "application" here. There are not many menus and the content is very rich. "Hot TV" menu under the eyes of a very hot film and television drama can be seen, and "Live Channel" is similar to the traditional TV playback, to meet the needs of some non-on-demand viewers. The application operation also has a unique detail. Most applications default to only one icon. The user only installs and activates the application immediately. Unlike other TV boxes, various applications are pre-installed, and the user may not be able to use it, thus occupying the system resources in vain.





Visible X1 comes with a few applications, the right square can add common applications, a key to open, very convenient. If you can't find the application you want in your own application, you can also download and install the most popular third-party application market sofa butler (http://), which can download and install most of the TV applications on the market.





Fourth, features

1, watching home

What should I do if I worry about accidents at home? What if a child is worried about safety at home? These visual X1 boxes all help you solve. Scan the "watching" QR code, download the video phone app and open it, register the visual account, and then scan the housekeeping QR code to associate the visible X1 box. After the association is successful, when you are in any place, you only need to pull out your mobile phone, open the visual app, and click on “Home” to see the situation at home.





2. Video call

Video call is the main selling point of this box, and it is also the core and highlight of the design. Visual X1 box to achieve video calls similar to the mobile phone QQ, in the mobile phone side installed visual app, you can register a "video signal", the "video signal" similar to the phone number. Dial the video number on the TV and press the camera icon at the bottom to start the video call. If you just want a voice call, you can also press the phone icon on the left.



The answer button appears on the TV. Press the OK button on the remote control to start the video call.



Whether you are currently watching a movie, playing games, or other applications, as long as there is a video call, the system will pause the current application, and pop up a floating prompt window in the upper right corner of the screen, waiting for the user to operate. Press the OK button on the remote control or the green answer button to connect the call, press the red key to hang up. Summary: Whether you are answering an incoming call or making a video call, all operations are not much different from traditional mobile phones and fixed phones. The operation is relatively simple and intuitive.

Of course, you can also call the mobile phone from the TV and the operation is very simple.



Summary: From the video call screenshots, the picture quality can only be said to be reluctant to go, can basically see the environment and the details of the items, the latter product optimization through software algorithms, picture quality can still have a lot of room for improvement. After repeated tests, it was found that the user's network conditions and the speed of the connection to the Butel's servers have a significant impact on the picture quality. I hope that they can be improved on the server line in the later period to improve the patency of the line.

V. Summary

After the trial of Xiao Bian, we have a relatively intuitive understanding of the visual X1. This TV box is uniquely positioned, with clear advantages and excellent performance in monitoring and video calling. And all this is free, just connect to the Internet. In addition to the video call and monitoring of the box itself, watching videos online is also very powerful and worthy of praise. In addition, some of the boxes are very user-friendly. For example, the answer button on the top of the box is convenient even for older users.

If there is a little bit of regret, there is no delivery of a Bluetooth microphone, if the follow-up manufacturers can add a Bluetooth microphone in the accessories is perfect. From the perspective of the user base, the X1 box is more suitable for white-collar workers who travel on business all the year round, or families with busy working children, or families with children who want to communicate with children through video calls.
