Nowadays, new smart TV products emerge in an endless stream. In particular, the prices of Internet TVs continue to drop. However, if you want to experience smart and have a more cost-effective solution, buying a box with a price of 2-300 hundred yuan can make the TV smart. Infineon has been working on network set-top boxes for many years. The i8 launched last year was the first to adopt the industry's leading eight-core CPU processor chip. Today, the product has ushered in an upgrade - Infinity i8 64-bit box, using Rockchip micro-flagship Eight-core 64-bit RK3368 processor, performance has been greatly improved.
The whole new generation Infinity i8 basically did not make any changes in appearance, to maintain the original rectangular design, although the larger, but still very light weight on the hand, and those heavy boxes on the market just increase inside The weight only. The appearance of the entire box is concise, there are no traces of excessive design, and the appearance of the acrylic belt on the side of the fuselage increases the color of the whole machine.
Because of the large size of the body, the i8's interface settings are more decentralized, and there is no sense of conviction on those mini boxes, which is also more convenient in the cable insertion and removal process. From left to right, they are AV, 2 USB, Ethernet, HDMI, and power connectors. If you connect to an old TV, you can use the red, white, yellow, and yellow AV cables attached. Other boxes generally use a three-point AV cable. Old TVs are connected, but many require additional purchases, and there are common problems.
The remote control has a slight improvement compared to the previous generation. It has a more rounded shape and is more comfortable to hold in the hand; the layout and number of keys have not changed much, but there are advantages compared to those minimalist remote controls, such as You can learn the TV remote control function, then you can put the TV remote control up and use only one remote control for daily operation; the retained digital keys are more efficient when entering passwords and changing channels.
The Infinik i8 is also a product that supports both standing and horizontal use. It can be easily set up with the included accessories. It not only saves the area of ​​the TV cabinet, but also does not expose too much of the various cables and the overall appearance. A lot. In addition, there is also a benefit to stand up and put in this way. The heat generated when the box is working can be emitted more quickly, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is higher.
