Tell us about the WE30s from the perspective of Tektronix WEBOX 30 and 30V users (with disassembly)

Why did you buy a TV box?

Reasons, everyone may be different, but is nothing more than to use an external television, monitor, or connect a projector to use, of course, want to buy it is also a reason. Some people say that smart TV will not be used, after all, the hardware configuration is sufficient. This is related to your gameplay and installation of the application, even if you are 16G storage, you can not install a few games, such as battlefield, Need for Speed ​​and other large-scale games, in addition to your TV update rate should not be better than TV This box can be used more frequently for a year, so for individuals, more often than not, TV boxes exist as a complement to smart TVs. Different games are installed in TVs and boxes. Use, after all, TV's HDMI interface is idle.

Personal attention and purchase of TV boxes have a certain relationship with the video resources built into Skyworth TV. However, there is no direct relationship. Even if Skyworth TV video content is continuously updated, they will buy TV boxes. Why? The first reason for the first issue is that, first, the original system configuration is general, and the TV box has a higher hardware configuration and can be used as a backup machine to install games and software; second, Skyworth's original TV system is closed, and TV box installation software More convenient.

The top left box is the first TV box iCAN A6 I purchased. The interface is extremely rich. It is the TV box that used the longest time. Afterwards, you also played Youku TV Box, Xiaomi Box, Tmall Box, and Haimedi. There are more than a dozen television boxes such as Webox, of which only two brands of the same brand have used Haidi (2 models) and Webox (3 models).
Why do you use WEBOX more? The reason is very simple. First, there is no advertisement for free video content. If you don't experience it, you can go and see other APPs or TV boxes. Second, free resources have high-definition content to watch, and non-members can only paint with LeTV. The quality of viewing video is very different; the third is that with its own bandwidth of 100 megabytes can achieve an unbuffered effect, whether it is the live software or the video content, there is a more profound understanding of the contrast.

Iterative product upgrades, with the greatest changes in WE30s

The first wewebox used by the individual is the we30, and the second one is the WE30V. The hardware configuration is the same. Only the WE30V has a voice remote control and supports voice interaction. As for why we did not buy the WE30 Pro, the main reason is that the price is too high, and the WE30V hardware configuration is sufficient. After all, it is used to provide for the elderly. At the same time, the voice search function will make it easier for the elderly to find the content.

For this WE30s, although it does not support the voice interaction function, compared to 30V, the memory size of 1G is increased to 2G in hardware specifications. This is the most important change, and the USB2.0 interface is upgraded to USB3.0. The number and type of interfaces are identical in design, and the system is also upgraded to Android 7.1.

This also involves another question, compared to WE30 Pro, this WE30s is more worth buying? Is it worth buying, one is to see performance, the other is to see the price. In simple terms, the difference between WE30 Pro and WE30s is mainly on the CPU and GPU, because WE30 Pro uses an eight-core RK3368, 64-bit Coretex-A53 core architecture, 28nm process design, operating frequency of 1.5GHz; GPU PowerVR G6110, support OPENGL ES 3.1; RK3368 super video capabilities; and WE30s is a quad-core RK3328, 32-bit ARM Coretex-A17 core architecture, 28nm process design, running at 1.8GHz; GPU ARM Mali-450 GPU .

Does it mean that the eight-core CPU will definitely outperform the quad-core CPU? Not necessarily, only the actual running points can be compared after conclusion, after all, involving the GPU and software optimization. It should be noted that although the WE30s only use the ARM Mali-T450 GPU, it is still superior to the PowerVR G6110 in performance, so there will be advantages in game performance. From the previous data of the security Bunny CPU running point of view, RK3368 is lower than RK3288, so overall, this WE30s performance is not worse than WE30 Pro, taking into account the price, although the WE30s built-in storage is 8G, but there are TF card slot to expand space, it is worth starting, this is the reason to start buying.

Of course, the external factor is because the above WE30V has already been given to parents, and it's time to take a comparison photo. The Lynx Box is used by Hai Meidi to get back from his younger brother, because he wants to play with the Lynx Genie X1, but there is not much advantage in the system and hardware configuration, especially the resource update.

WEBOX30 series is exactly the same in appearance design and material. It should be the same model. There is not much change in the shape. It is still a familiar taste. Looking at the front alone can not tell the difference between the two devices.

Compared to the design of a common square TV box, the unique design of the WEBOX-like bowl is easier to distinguish from other products, and the texture of the bottom of the ceramic texture is superior. The bottom of this silicone pad not only played a good anti-skid effect, but also hidden under the four fixed screws.

Compared to the top white cover of the piano paint process, the bottom of this shiny ceramic design is more likely to leave fingerprints, dust, but also easy to handle, simply wipe. In the design of the cooling holes, the bottom and top still have no reserved cooling holes.

Therefore, it is still relying on the design of the edge vents used for heat dissipation, but considering the gaming performance of the chip, there will be more internal heat dissipation design to enhance the heat dissipation performance, without guessing, dismantling knows.

For accessories, the WE30s come standard with a remote control, integrated power adapter and an HDMI 2.0 cable. Individuals do not like this all-in-one design of the power adapter, wire separate design easier to accommodate, do not worry about adapter damage or wire from the root of the problem.

For this HDMI cable with a length of 1 meter, it has reached a diameter of 5.45mm, far exceeding the HDMI cable of other brands in use.

Although it is not possible to directly judge the quality of a wire by its thickness, the brand-like wire can guarantee the material work and provide stable transmission performance. However, this standard HDMI cable plug is not treated with a gold plating process like other HDMI cable plugs, but is a common nickel plating process. Although there is no impact on signal transmission, the handling of the gold plated head does improve wear resistance and oxidation resistance.

The upper remote control is standard for the WE30s, and the lower remote control is the WE30V standard voice remote control. The standard remote control of the WE30s has fewer buttons and a smaller volume. The overall look is simpler. The ergonomic design makes the single-handle grip experience more comfortable. In terms of button experience, compared to the rubber button used in the button WE30V, the feedback force is moderate, and the springback is crisp, but the battery used with the WE30s remote controller is a button battery, which is inferior to the two AAA battery replacements used by the WE30V remote controller. Convenience.

Internal design is clean and tidy with heat sink design PCB clean and tidy

Previously played two WEBOX did not disassemble, because of concerns about the quality of the warranty, from the use of the situation it does not need to worry about, you can directly dismantling, after all, compared to the demolition of mobile phones, demolition of flat panels, split the notebook is much simpler The most important point is that it has long been desired to dismantle this brand and look at the internal work.

Let's make an overall comment first

1. The PCB is clean and tidy overall, and the workmanship is excellent

2. The base is equipped with a thermally conductive metal plate design, which at the same time has an effect of increasing weight.

3. The chip has a shield design to reduce external interference

4. Single antenna design, using IPX interface instead of welding, easy to replace

Let's take a look at the main chip section. The memory uses two Samsung DDR3 memory chips, model SEC719 k4b4G1646E BCMA. As a device that supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, WE30s uses the Longsys ltm8830 chip of Shenzhen Jiangbolong Electronics (if any, please specify), but the company is mainly manufacturing storage devices.

The left chip is ROCKCHIP's RK3328, and on the memory is Toshiba's embedded NAND flash product, 1632KAE THGBMFG6C1L.

The understanding of the hardware part is completed, the following direct run points to try.

Unexpected running performance 3D performance is relatively strong Video decoding capability

The software used here is the APP version of the Bunny TV version V6.0.1. As mentioned earlier, WE30s uses Rockchip's RK3328. The CPU performance is good, but the GPU's running part is not completed. The 3D “isolated” scenario does not run, which directly leads to a low overall running score.

Let's look at the performance of the WE30V. The overall running margin is much lower than that of the WE30s. The 3D running points simply fail to run, and the main difference still comes from the UX experience.

However, WE30S is generally in video decoding performance. To a certain extent, this also has a direct relationship with hardware configuration. The 6 formats that are not supported include 2K and 4K MKV format videos, which means that the network The downloaded HD MKV video cannot be directly played, but it can be used as a soft solution to a third-party player.

Although the decoding performance of WE30s is general, it is still better than WE30v.

Therefore, the overall point of view, WE30S compared to WE30V in the hardware configuration and performance have a more significant improvement.

Before the official experience, let's talk about a key point. This WE30s can smoothly play 60fps 4K HD movies.

Before you begin, ask, do you know what CIBN is for? The explanation of Baidu Encyclopedia is that CIBN is an abbreviation of China International Broadcasting Network. Launched by China Radio International, it is a national broadcast and broadcast agency that broadcasts to global audiences in a multi-lingual, multi-type, and multi-terminal form under the growing conditions of Internet and mobile communication technologies.

However, how much relationship with you? It is very close, and it is related to whether the video of the built-in platform can play normally. This is why some devices will see the CIBN certification after booting into the system. If the CIBN authentication cannot be performed properly, even if your device can be connected to the Internet, all audiovisual content cannot be played. The reason why this part was mentioned is because once the TV box was flashed, this problem was encountered. Fortunately, it was normal after the main removal.

Flat, simple desktop, smooth, integrated applications, fewer voice remotes, but no voice

The desktop did not use the cluttered waterfall design style, but still used the flat design of sliding around, divided into three categories of casual look, Tai Jie video and game center, and set this function on the home page, convenient transfer.

There are only a few integrated software, only five, which are software-related application stores, system-optimized one-click acceleration, Taitech Mall that sells its own products, local browsers that browse local area network sharing and external storage devices, and bindings. A WeChat album of the pictures shared by the device. Compared to WE30v, there is one less application here is JD Micro.

Below to make detailed comments on the main part, first talk about settings.

The settings page is still based on a grey tone. Commonly used functions such as network, image display, Bluetooth pairing, OTA upgrade, etc. all come together here. Here are some points to explain.

1. There has been a change in functionality within the settings, that is, the original remote service became relevant. The original remote service can apply for remote assistance. It is only necessary to use a mobile phone to dial the 400 telephones on the screen and provide the device's MAC address.

2. The image adjustment does not support the automatic adjustment function, and can only be adjusted manually. As a lazy person, it is somewhat inconvenient.

3. The digital audio output supports two output formats of HDMI PCM and HDMI RAW to meet the needs of external devices.

4. The original remote controller can be automatically connected with the device, the voice remote controller can be normally bound but cannot use the voice input function, and the voice button is invalid

5. The default support APK installation, quick and easy, without manually opening the developer mode

6. Although there is no setting screen for wireless projection screen, but supports wireless projection, the default is to enable

In addition there is another point, compared with the above can be seen, the application of boot management can only be entered after installing the APP, all installed APP is blocked by default, and the boot screen can currently only select the default.

For the casual look, it is similar to the TV station that is provided by LeTV. It is free content. There are no advertisements for video playback. There are 71 built-in channels, covering domestic, Hong Kong, European and American film and television, variety and animation. For individuals, There are sections of the European and American movies, American dramas, and the animal world. Of course, if you have a Dong Sen Yang film station, it's best.

The Taijie video section can be viewed as the official APP's built-in integration, aggregating 200,000+ legitimate popular video content, including football, NBA sports live broadcasts, and CCTV, TV, and other TV stations broadcast live, and as part of the highlight is owned Tencent video, music video, Sohu video, Youku video, and other legitimate very clear online video and video resources, but also included concert live, popular movies, popular variety shows, popular TV dramas and other rich video content. As for the opening of the membership, we support WeChat scan code payment, which is currently 30 yuan per month, 80 yuan for 3 months and 30 yuan for 12 months. In this era of less and less free video resources, it has become a trend to support genuine and paid viewing, including certain cats, certain bees, and some previously used video apps.

In the past, he also valued the types and number of built-in resources, but now the midpoint has changed directly. The reason is because none of the mainstream APPs are fully included in the resources of American dramas. For example, the early quarters were not found in several mainstream APPs. Second, different video APPs have different focuses and can complement each other. This is the reason why multiple different video applications are installed. Most of the videos have ads at the beginning. They are annoying. This is why their own routers have filtered ads and why non-members can watch TV boxes without ads. He himself was once a member of Youku and iQiyi, but later found that the time spent watching videos every day was not too long. Fortunately, the married women were in use, otherwise they would be a waste. The American dramas that are usually chased are basically from third parties. Website directly or download to watch.

Dispensable game center and app store WeChat photo album Easy to operate Local playback Excellent LAN Sharing Easy

As for the game center and the application store, things are not much, in fact, personally, these two plates are not too important, you can cancel directly, feel relieved to update your video content just fine, mainly because you can directly install APK, usually There are a few specific and commonly used APPs that must be installed. It is more convenient to download games and software.

The WeChat album function is a highlight feature of WEBOX. After binding the device for WeChat, you can send pictures to the device remotely. However, there are two parts that need to be optimized. One is that the sent picture is not displayed in time, and the single page needs to wait for about 30 seconds. At the same time, the number of pictures sent at a time will be longer in the display time, and the performance needs to be improved. Second, the sent picture can not be pushed to the full-screen display, personally think that the priority of this function should be higher, at least in the main page, video playback screen, should be directly displayed, as for the game screen can not be directly displayed, there is a Just remind me.

The local browser is used for browsing external storage devices and sharing files on the local area network. However, the external storage device can not display the device name normally, and the LAN device can display the name normally. For example, the left two green ones are their own WD mobile hard disk, 4G Kingston TF card, and the two right goose egg yolk devices are The name of the laptop and the name of the smart router that connects to the storage device. In terms of reading, the advantage of the USB3.0 interface is that it can smoothly play large-volume 4K videos, smooth and non-stopping, and the sound images are normal.

Since there is a mention of local video playback, let's talk about the playback of 4K video and more than 20G 1080P video. On supported video formats, 4K video can play smoothly, including 60fps videos.

And there is one more point, WE30s support HDR function, there is no relationship in the setup page or the option to enable HDR function, but the HDR function will be automatically enabled according to the movie type when playing the video, but for the smart TV, it must also support HDR. The effect is shown, otherwise the screen will be whitish.

Individuals usually download some full-length 4K movies (30G+) and 1080P videos (10G+) for viewing. These videos are in fact incomparable to ordinary 3G or 4G video effects. Although the current time will be longer, but in order to better audio-visual experience is worth it, not to mention 100MB bandwidth, 5.1 audio, support for DTS and Dolby audio TV speakers or other speakers are necessary to rational use.

In addition to external storage devices and routers that support protocols such as DLNA and SAMBA, you can also use third-party software (such as iTunes) or directly through WIN10 to send screencasts. Not enough WIN10 comes with some unstable functions. The video format is relatively limited, although the figure below shows that the device is not responding, but in fact it has been playing normally on the TV.

When it comes to wireless projection, although there is no relevant design in the system settings, and there is no introduction in this part of the product promotion, WE30s supports wireless projection and can be used with Intel AZ210A, Samsung S5, ASUS. For the zenfone, iPhone and WIN10 devices, Miracast, Airplay, and DLNA protocols are supported, but WiDi is not supported.

Judging from the situation in which multiple videos are broadcast on the wireless screen, the playback is smooth and video and audio are synchronized. For the game, it is not suitable for competitive games, such as pesticides. Occasional delay will inevitably lead to the death of a hero. It is still possible to play some small games.

USB interface power supply stable external memory compatibility good cable mouse plug and play Bluetooth device connection stability

On an external storage device, the NTFS-supported mobile hard disk does not have much problem in the compatibility of the TF card. For normal 1TB mobile hard disks, the content is read normally.

The USB interface can also be connected directly to a wired mouse or used with a 2.4G receiver that connects to an OTG cable, such as some gamepads or wireless mice.

For the stability of the Bluetooth connection, individuals are valued. First, Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, and Bluetooth handles are usually used. Second, because the number and types of headphones, speakers, and controllers are relatively large, some Bluetooth handles have been encountered. The problem of directly causing the TV to hang up after connecting the smart TV makes people have some lingering fears, so the compatibility is also a part that must be considered, and it is also a priority for this handle to appear. In addition to the handle, several devices that are in use are randomly connected. The connection is relatively normal and stable enough to use normally.

In terms of game experience, there will be compatibility issues with some large-scale games, but playing some games on the Internet can be handled in a pleasurable manner, such as pesticides, space-time hunters, king of chaos, and so on. On large stand-alone games, the rogue company 2 can run smoothly, but the killing trip 3 cannot start. On the handle of the match game, it is best to select the game controller of the 2.4 GHz receiver or use the wired handle directly, and the operation delay will be lower.

Finally, let's talk about this power consumption situation. Figure 1 shows the real-time power consumption of the unpowered state at power-on, which is only 2.5W. After booting into the system, it becomes 3W. Figure 2 shows the real-time power consumption when playing the installed pesticide game. For 5.3W, usually watching online video is about 5W; while Figure 3 is connected to an external 1TB mobile hard disk and playing the real-time power consumption of internal 4K video, reaching 8.9W.

Free Video Ad-free Advantage but No Voice Remote Storage Small

Simply make a summary of it, for the TV box, first, do not blindly believe that the hardware configuration, because it also involves the degree of software optimization, performance enough to use like; Second, do not blindly believe that price and promotion, the price is too low or too A high product is not necessarily worth buying. It can be screened based on the comparison of hardware configuration. Third, don't blindly believe in the amount of content. Think of how many times a day you watch movies or chase drama? For non-members, the consideration is more about the quantity and quality of its free resources and the length of advertisements. For members, it is natural to consider the frequency of update of hot movies and the increase in the content of fees.

For the current TV box, it is not an advantage to be able to directly install the APK. Currently, the hardware configuration is fixed. This is already known before the purchase, so the important part is the function and built-in video resources. In terms of support for wireless projection, support for HDR, and support for the H265 hard solution, it is just necessary because they have devices that support wireless projection, such as mobile phones and tablets. They are also functions that they have been using; they are required to support HDR, mainly because of their TVs. Support HDR, but also have some HDR source; support H265 hard solution, first, because this is the basic function of the current TV box, two naturally is that they have a large number of high-definition video, these are where the WE30s have.

In terms of built-in video resources, individuals are more concerned with the free portion and can find some movies they want to see. The advantage of E30s in free resources is that most of them are basically HD content, and there is no advertisement. This is a place that other similar TV boxes do not have, especially compared to non-members who are using LeTV, they can only have low quality. Watching is a very good choice. It can also be said that it is the direct reason why you are using LeTV as a TV box.

If WEBOX WE30s is suitable for which types of people to buy and use, the first is to prefer free video resources like their own and value the crowd of free videos without advertising, there is a sense of refreshment; second, there are a lot of playing local high-definition video, value support H265 hard solutions, 4K HDR The crowd, this may not be attractive to smart TV users, more suitable for people watching with a TV box. Well, let's go to this kind of thing. Before you buy it, think about it carefully. After you get it, try it hard.


Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.

SCSI-90°DIP Section

Small computer system interface (SCSI) is an independent processor standard for system level interfaces between computers and intelligent devices (hard disks, floppy drives, optical drives, printers, scanners, etc.). SCSI is an intelligent universal interface standard.

The last SCSI device in the SCSI chain uses a terminator, and the intermediate device does not need a terminator. Once the terminator is used by the intermediate device, the SCSI card cannot find the future SCSI device. If the last device does not use a terminator, SCSI will not work properly. Terminator is composed of resistors, located at the end of the SCSI bus, to reduce the mutual influence of the signal, maintain the constant voltage on the SCSI chain.

Most of the SCSI devices have built-in terminators and use a jumper to control on / off. The SCSI device is highly intelligent and can automatically control the terminator on / off. For example, if a hard disk is connected to a CD-ROM, the CD-ROM can work normally regardless of whether the terminator of the hard disk is on or off. However, when two hard disks are connected, the situation becomes more complicated. Before two Seagate hard disks are connected, one hard disk terminator must be off. Before a Seagate hard disk is connected to a quantum hard disk, a hard disk terminator can work normally regardless of whether it is on or off.
