A new media international communication platform with 61 communication languages, full business media forms and strong international characteristics.
Look at the appearance, and did not envision the momentum and focus! What is more popular is the sense of local gas, rough yellow paper packaging, coupled with a simple appearance of publicity information. It is a bit like a holy and noble person among the poor. Just printed on top of a line of Youku Cube stereo view and product name; just in front of youku youku are watching 'fonts, very concise!
At the bottom of the box is printed the company name of the manufacturer and manufacturer, as well as the service phone number and product barcode. In addition, there are national compulsory 3C certifications and institutional system CB certifications passed by it.
The following is the USB power adapter, the front is printed 'CIBN YOUKU Youku' font; left is the other through the national 3C security certification; behind the USB interface. USB cable is also independently installed.
HDMI high-definition data cable, non-copper connector. It is almost the same as what can be bought on the market.
The three-in-one AV audio and video cable is similar to the popular AV cable.
Appearance Summary: After completing the appearance of the description and introduction, the overall feeling of cool Cube is not bad, although the whole appearance of the packaging is flat, nothing special. Open the package, see the host and remote control, the feeling is still quite like, a small Rubik's cube, free to put where you can, and then through the 2.4g anti-jamming 360 degree wireless remote control, the feeling is more satisfactory than the infrared remote control . To say a little regret is: USB interface feels, a little bit, if you insert a U disk, you can not pick up the game handle's coder, very inconvenient. It's best to have a USB 3.0 interface to facilitate viewing of local Ultra HD video. Regardless of the appearance, we have to buy! What we use is nothing more than the internal configuration of the box and the application platform provided by the box.

After completing the presentation of the appearance, this is the time to do an application experience in person! Before you experience it, first connect your HDMI HD data cable and power cable. Then it is to connect to the network, if you are wired through a router, plug it in directly! Here, I do a graphic explanation of the connection to the wireless network, and make a brief introduction to the system configuration section. Due to the fact that the box does not have ROOT permission, it is impossible to take screenshots of the UI interface. The SLR shooting method is now used. If not, please forgive! Really time-consuming and laborious, but the effect is not good!
After booting into the main interface, as shown below. Select the system setting in the lower left corner to enter the system setting interface.
In the system hibernation, you can set the screen saver time. After the protection is turned on, the longest screen saver time is 12 minutes. That is, after 12 minutes, the box is automatically protected and enters the screen saver. In addition, you can set the sleep time, up to 1 hour, that is, after the set time, the box will automatically shut down and sleep.
On the inside, there are some address information of the box, such as the MAC address and IP address. In addition, information such as the model number and the current software version is included. If the setting is wrong, you can use the following factory reset button to restore the factory parameter data.
At this point, the system's running test was completed. Quite satisfied! Now back to the main interface, then the system settings, from the bottom up, came to the search section, the same search function as most of the boxes on the market, but also uses the Pinyin search. When searching for a video program you want to watch, you can select it by moving the cursor and open it directly.
In addition, the main interface in the boot, in addition to the main boot interface, there is a second page of recommended content. In the two recommended pages, including the latest television dramas, movies and some variety entertainment programs, documentaries, animation and other aspects of the program collection, the content is very rich.
Next, some application playback experiences are made on the video content of the two main interfaces. Here are the photos of the 36 counts of happiness and the recording of two movies and pigs and cartoons of pigs and pigs in Xiang Yang Xia Xiang. The picture quality is still very clear, and the video source is good.
The next step is to do some video playback and search experience for TV dramas. In the TV drama section, it is classified by region! It contains selected, Korean dramas, mainland dramas, TVB, English dramas, and Taiwanese dramas. Relatively speaking, the classification is somewhat general, and there are still some deficiencies for the specific and detailed user requirements!
The following is a list of some of the TV drama shots, including dramas in Korean dramas, mainland dramas, and English dramas. Let's take a look at the video effect. There aren't too many details about it!
If you want to search for the corresponding video, you can search through the lower right corner of the search interface. In the inside, the corresponding screening is based on the region, drama type, release time, and the latest on-line and most played!
The next section is the movie section. In this section, there are only sections of Korean, Hollywood, and Chinese. Like the TV drama section, it also provides the same search function.
After introducing the two major sections, they were introduced to videos on animation, variety shows, documentaries and education. In fact, all are similar, mainly the source of the problem. In the following, do some corresponding video playback! Everyone can refer to it. . .
After entering the interface, select the application you want to uninstall. Then, press the OK button. The Select button to open and uninstall below will pop up. Select Uninstall to uninstall the selected application.
Another method is to directly select the application you want to uninstall in the application section. Press the OK button for 3 seconds, and the open/uninstall window will pop up. If you release the button, open the software, all right, after you exit the open software, there will be a small window to open / uninstall, select Uninstall! Everyone can try it out! OK, completed a series of After the application experience, the next 3D/1280P/4K movie and TV show was done! The same is in my external device U disk. When playing 3D TV, there is no problem with playback, but the transcoding is weak! The left/right/up/down formats cannot be turned into 3D playback effects. In addition, the previously mentioned 1280P/4K movie and TV decoders are unable to respond. This is in line with the results of the previous run. The maximum support is 1920×1080P.
In addition, at the end, there is also a member area! In this area, members provide free, half-price and 1080P video. In fact, until now, I have not paid for movies on the Internet. If you really want to watch pay movies, movies should be a better place to go! Naturally, the need for paid services here remains to be confirmed!
Overall summary: After completing the appearance and application experience of Youku Cube, the overall feeling is still a very good box. Whether it is from the stability of the system or the quality of the video resources, it is good. Although the outside is flat, the packaging is general, but good configuration, high running points! Is hard road. . . And, as long as the price is only 299! For you who are not enthusiasts, the Youku Cube is still worthy of possession of the box! Although some resources in entertainment can not keep up with current events, like the whereabouts of the popular Dad, happy camp, good Chinese voice, etc. There is no sign of this! However, this is not a problem! There is a need to install third-party platforms on their own, and the problem is still a good solution! The good hard-power distribution covers a small gap! In addition, during the operation, like When playing games, running points and other operations, some places still need to use the mouse to operate, there is no mouse button on the remote control, it is not very convenient! Can only be connected to a mouse or game handle operation Caixing, everyone in front of the figure In the middle, I can see that I have an external mouse; In addition, in some video resources, there are occasional adverts of 16 seconds, which, to a large extent, give the user some bad impressions. In addition, during the high-intensity remote control operation, the OK button has appeared a little drop paint. It is hoped that manufacturers can make corresponding improvements in this regard. . . . . .

The box uses a boxed set up and down, the host stands intact, and the square box protecting it, the data line and other accessories are packed in a box in a small box, which is very organized.
All accessories set, including commonly used five major parts: host, remote control, USB power adapter and power cord, HDMI HD data cable, AV audio and video cable.
Take a photo with the two main pieces. The host is specially designed as a Pandora's box template, prism-like appearance, and the middle of the play button style, very creative, strong sense of three-dimensional. The shape and the name of the Rubik's Cube are indeed quite suitable! The box is a square, with a power indicator light and an operating signal sensor in front of it; compared with the Apple 5s, it is only about one-third long and measures 808,080mm.
On the right side of the box is the 'CIBN YOUKU Youku' font.
The four corners of the back are four screw holes, and the center is slightly recessed slightly. Two rows of interfaces are made from the top to the bottom, and corresponding English fonts are printed under the first interface.

The remote control is very compact, including azimuth keys, a total of 15 keys, and it uses a 2.4g anti-jamming wireless remote control technology. As can be seen from the picture below, compared with the one-dollar coin, it is slightly wider and the height is half of the one-dollar coin and still a little thin.
Placed on the back is the CR2032 button battery, open the battery twist cover, it looks a little bit thin, empty!
The following is the USB power adapter, the front is printed 'CIBN YOUKU Youku' font; left is the other through the national 3C security certification; behind the USB interface. USB cable is also independently installed.

After entering the setting interface, select the network and the system will automatically search for nearby wifi signals. Select your wifi account for password entry. Since the remote control only has 11 keys, you have to spend a lot of time on entering the password. Hey. . . In this way, the input password can have a high degree of accuracy.
After setting the password, after connecting, let's take a look at the other setup items in the setup section. Here, on the network speed, system hibernation and about the introduction. Everyone else can open it up and look at it. It's actually relatively simple. In network speed measurement, it is a single network speed measurement function. After it is opened, click the test network speed button to perform the current network speed test!

Ann Bunny Run points, 22449! Not bad! Domineering! It seems that there are a few boxes that can exceed 200 million. The Amlogic AML8726-M8 model carries an ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core 2.0G HZ processor (CPU) and an 8-core Mali-450 MP image processor (GPU). The maximum resolution is. 1G of memory, 8G of user storage. I believe that with this configuration, it can meet the needs of the vast majority of users! For general HD video playback and 2D and 3D games should not be difficult. However, can we decode 1280P, 4K, etc. In the next experience, I will do some playback experience in the end. let us wait and see. . .
The following two images are the results of the cpu-z test and are the same as those obtained by the security rabbit. We can compare it!
Here is the result of NenaMark2's run, nearly 60fps, a good result! Can eat most 2D and 3D games!
At this point, the system's running test was completed. Quite satisfied! Now back to the main interface, then the system settings, from the bottom up, came to the search section, the same search function as most of the boxes on the market, but also uses the Pinyin search. When searching for a video program you want to watch, you can select it by moving the cursor and open it directly.
Further up is to play the record and my collection. There is nothing to say in these two sections. It is a simple literal meaning. The history of playing and your favorite movie and television drama collection. In the viewing history, there is a function to clear the viewing record.
In my collection, I divided my episode and my collection by clicking the login/registration button in the upper right corner to login/register. In fact, this landing/registration button design is somewhat hidden! General new users, a bit hard to find!
In addition, the main interface in the boot, in addition to the main boot interface, there is a second page of recommended content. In the two recommended pages, including the latest television dramas, movies and some variety entertainment programs, documentaries, animation and other aspects of the program collection, the content is very rich.

After watching the video above, the overall picture quality is still good. Maybe everyone will be a little weird. Why isn't there a game? That's right! Youku Cube does not directly set the window platform for the game. In the following application section application experience, do a brief description of the game and application installation!
In the app section, all applications that are already installed are included. Here, we can delete, install, and open all applications and other related operations. Everyone should see that the first graphic sign is Youku’s own market. Here are some games for everyone to play~~~
After you open Youku Market, you will have a home screen that contains recommendations, audio, video, apps, games, and management sections. There will be no over-introduction, and only some game experience will be applied to the game section.

Experience Summary: After a day or two of application experience, the most profound is that the box system is relatively stable. I have not seen any stagnation and crashes for two days. I just showed up on the network connection during the network connection. , video content can not be opened, restart the box, normal use; the entire box during the operation did not appear overheating phenomenon, touch, should be less than 20 degrees! The weather is also cool! In addition, in terms of UI design of the UI of the box, it is quite satisfactory and there is nothing special to say. In terms of video classification, it is also somewhat too sketchy. Occasionally, video classification confusion occurs! However, the quality of the video resources is not bad, generally provide several modes for everyone to choose: ultra clear, high definition, standard!
