4K hard solution tool - cloud network CR18plus experience




TV boxes are certainly not unfamiliar to us. The traditional boxes are all made of plastic. The hardware is mostly 1G RAM plus ordinary SoC, and some do not even support 802.11AC (5G WIFI). Unlike mobile phones, the hardware performance of the box almost determines, experience experience + life expectancy, as for content, almost all boxes need to install third-party playback software to increase the actual availability, but under the influence of the policy, this road is more and more difficult. This time, what kind of experience CR18plus can bring to us, then let me experience it.
CR18plus selling point:

1, texture enhancement: new aluminum alloy shell + corner polished 2,4 K hard solution: new 64-bit 8-core chip hard solution H.265 (60 frames) 4K
3, operating speed: 2G RAM faster than 1G 4, capacity increase: built-in high-speed 16G, while supporting a number of capacity expansion 5, networking upgrade - dual gigabit wifi (2.4G + 5G)
6, rich audio interface, support OTG and HDMI2.0 interface box selection Tips:
As the saying goes, it is the best for you. Choose boxes according to your needs and compare them from hardware, function, and price. If you want to play 4K video locally or play large Android 3D games on a box, you will need strong decoding chips and GPU support. Of course, the memory needs to be sufficient. The price determines the hardware level and indirectly determines the service life. .

The official name of “4K resolution (3840×2160 pixels)” is Ultra HD (Ultra High-Definition)

Out of the box

The 4K UHD is very conspicuous and expresses its attributes, 4K playback box.


On the back is the hardware specifications of the product: 64-bit 8-core decoder chip + 2G RAM + 16G memory eye-catching, support 5G wifi.


Open the box is the cloud network CR18plus, metallic eye, 4K Ultra HD in the lower right corner again "point questions."


Sun family portrait: Left: HDMI2.0 line, OTG line, charging cable; CR18plus host in the middle; right: remote control.


Details section:

After reading the topic, explore the details of the CR18plus host and remote control.

Cloud network CR18plus uses a traditional TV design, with an antenna, there are not many highlights in the shape.


Front panel: On the left side, there is an entity switch key with indicator light; the right letter is light blue, not dazzling at night, and the function can be displayed.


Rear panel: AV interface, coaxial, optical fiber, etc., especially equipped with the latest HDMI 2.0, to ensure that there is a port to transmit 4K images; the side of the antenna is external to enhance the signal.


On the left and right sides, the distribution is 2USB 2.0; OTG, TF card expansion, and recovery holes, complimentary OTG data cable conscience, not on the USB3.0 a pity.


The large area of ​​the back is used for perforation and cooling, surrounded by rubber feet, and the anti-skid also enhances the heat dissipation height.


Overall workmanship:

Compared with the common plastic box of the same kind, the one-piece metal forming process is uniform and has no obvious color difference. It really improves the texture of the entire CR18plus box; the edges are cut into place without cutting.



Remote control: The remote control uses a traditional infrared sensor. The lack of a bluetooth remote controller is slightly regrettable. Fortunately, the overall workmanship is relatively in place, and some careful settings are also provided.



Out of the box summary:

Although CR18plus modeling and remote control are more traditional, there is no particular novelty, but with an all-metal body, and excellent workmanship, rich interfaces, details of the place to make me extra points, out of the box this part of the CR18plus can be used: law-abiding To describe.

UI experience

Q: How can I achieve 4K H.265 video playback?

A: To achieve HEVC/H.265 playback, support 4K chip processor + HDMI2.0 interface is the key to meet the needs of these two hardware, it is possible to play normally, 200 or so sub-decoder chip can not be done This point.

Cloud network line CR18plus uses a Rockchip micro 64-bit 8-core RK3368 solution with an upgraded 2G RAM, whether the second 4K, and what experience to enhance, and then look down?

This machine is equipped with Android 5.1 system, the opening speed is about 22 seconds (more than average), the boot speed, nearly 10 seconds faster than my other box.


UI interface: UI is simple (perhaps too simple), all the functional interfaces are gathered here, support for adding software below, the interface can also be more beautiful.


Open the setting options: thick Android native system settings interface, double-row display, clear layout.


Cloud Network CR18plus supports 2.4 bands and 802.11AC (5G bands).

The measured signal of 2.4G is strong, 5G is controlled by itself, and the performance of the wall is general.


Open the application options: UI interface interaction optimization, all software is not classified in one, open design, no advertising, no built-in software, praise.


The built-in software can provide sufficient third-party playback software and content, and it is highly scalable. Such software as TV cats and HDPs can be directly installed.


High-definition live broadcast software like HDP, with good compatibility, can play smoothly.


System usage details: U disk is inserted with reminder, and can be identified and opened by category. This is very convenient.


Supports multiple extensions (columns like LAN sharing)

In addition to the TF card and U disk, in the network neighborhood, you can also open the LAN to view the shared video or file.


The included software enables one-click sharing of files in the box.


Summary: The openness and freedom of the UI are very good. The software comes with high availability and supports the viewing of shared files. However, the interface design and user-friendly interactive settings need to be improved. In the system control, the remote control moves accurately, with the attached mouse. The actual effect is not great. It is recommended that the second generation Bluetooth remote control be equipped with voice control. It should prompt the overall system operation experience.

Performance combat

1. [Verification]

A53 eight core (RK3368) +GPU for PowerVRG6110, 2G RAM, 16G memory is divided into 3G system + 10G other partitions, chip frequency, graphics performance is also strong, to meet the hard solution 4K (60 frames) of the chip requirements.


2. [Video format support]


The results of the test were somewhat unexpected. Ten of them could not be completely played, and three could not be played. Then we went down to see the specific situation.


Both AC-3 and DTS audio cannot be played, and 3 videos are stuck.


It can be seen from the test that cloud network line CR18plus does not support the audio hard solution of AC-3 and DTS. This point needs attention; three unusual formats cannot be played but it is excusable to play as a 500 level 4K playback. Devices, all through the kill mainstream or non-mainstream format, is what everyone wants to see, after all, other price products are many can do.

Ps: AC-3 and DTS are all surround sound, Dolby AC-3 surround sound, a simple understanding is 5.1 channels, specifically understand Baidu.

4K decoding capability summary: In these 4K videos with different code rates and different frames, in addition to the abnormal code rate breaking the 200M "duck" video, 4K videos of other 24-60 frames can be played. Its powerful smooth playback of 60 frames of 4K video.

4, [game experience]

The GPU is a PowerVR G6110, which theoretically provides good graphics performance. 2G RAM also provides support for smooth game operation.

Relying on excellent hardware, the PSP game in the chick simulator is identified as running smoothly.


In the actual game running, the Bluetooth connection is stable and the game runs smoothly.


to sum up

advantage:

1, all-metal design, excellent workmanship 2, hardware powerful, can play 60 frames 4K
3, rich interface, with HDMI2.0 and OTG port 4, support 5G WiFi, support for network sharing play 5, the system of high degree of native, no obvious restrictions

Disadvantages:

1. Appearance design and general function of the remote controller 2. UI design is general and should be optimized 3. Some formats do not support

As a main 4K broadcast TV box, on the hardware, cloud network CR18plus uses 64-bit Rockchip RK3368+2G RAM design to achieve the hardware level of the thousand tablet, interface with HDMI2.0, the actual 4K playback of measured data is still quite awesome (can broadcast 60 frames smoothly). As a TV box, in the case of a large number of boxes being harmonized by policies and unable to install third-party playback software, the cloud network CR18plus is worthy of praise for its native unmasked UI. Various third-party live broadcast software and video software are available. It can be easily downloaded and installed, but the UI design is indeed too simple and humanized design is not enough. The operation mode of the remote control is sensitive, but the increased mouse function is practical. If the remote controller is replaced with a Bluetooth design and voice control is added, the experience will be better. If you can accept the above shortcomings, cloud network CR18plus is undoubtedly a 4K player weapon.
