Giống như các dòng TV Box khác của Minix thì NGC-1 cũng sẽ được hỗ trợ cập nhật Firmware tự động qua OTA, để đảm bảo mọi người dùng trên toàn thế giới đều nhận được các bản cập nhật của Minix mà không cần thực hiện bất kỳ thao tác phức tạp nào, chỉ cần có kết nối Internet thì sẽ nhận được bản cập nhật, rất hay và tiện dụng. ,đã mạnh nay còn mạnh hơn với 2x Wifi AC chuẩn mới nhất hiện nay , cho đường truyền ổn định với tốc độ vượt trội .
Với Wifi 802.11ac 2x2 MIMO Dual-Band , các tính năng Online được xác định là trên cả tuyệt vời .
Dáng vẻ đầy sức mạnh của Minix Neo NGC-1
Hỗ trợ nhiều cổng kết nối hơn :
-3 cổng USB 3.0 truy xuất dữ liệu cực nhanh và thoải mái kết nối các thiết bị ngoại vi . Được trang bị cổng HDMI 2.0, đồ họa Intel HD Graphics, chip vi xử lý Celeron N3150 có khả năng hỗ trợ định dạng 4K 60HZ và giải mã H265 10 bit. Đây là một trong những dòng sản phẩm đi tiên phong trong việc đạt được chất lượng 4K 60fps cực nét, khác xa so với các dòng sản phẩm trước đây.
-1 cổng USB Type C - chuẩn mực cổng kết nối mới nhất với ưu điểm dễ cắm với hai đầu giống hệt nhau và cho phép kết nối hai chiều nên chúng ta sẽ không cần phải lo về việc cắm ngược nữa. Điều này cũng hứa hẹn sẽ làm giảm hiện tượng xước hoặc hỏng ở khu vực cắm cổng sạc trên các thiết bị.
Tốc độ truyền dữ liệu và khả năng truyền điện được cải thiện nhiều
USB Type-C có tốc độ truyền dữ liệu 10Gbps, gấp đôi tốc độ truyền dữ liệu của USB 3.0 [5 Gbps]. Hơn nữa, USB-C cung cấp mức năng lượng cao hơn rất nhiều, truyền tải điện lên đến 100W. Điều này sẽ giúp tiết kiệm đáng kể thời gian truyền dữ liệu cũng như thời gian sạc pin cho các thiết bị. Đây cũng chính là lý do màMacbook 12 inch đã sử dụng cổng kết nối USB Type-C làm cổng sạc, tiện lợi hơn nữa với cổng này người dùng còn có thể dùng pin sạc di động để sạc pin cho laptop, miễn là cục pin đó đẩy ra được công suất 29W [theo 9to5Mac].
Không chỉ vậy, dự đoán là màn hình, máy in, loa hay các thiết bị khác trong tương lai còn có thể kết nối và sử dụng nguồn từ cổng USB-C của một máy tính để bàn hay máy tính xách tay.
-1 cổng mini Displayport rất thuận tiện khi mà rất nhiều thiết bị Laptop hiện nay cũng dùng chuẩn kết nối này .
NGC-1 is a fanless mini PC that packs all the power and performance you need for a home entertainment system in a size that fits in the palm of your hand. Enjoy brilliant 4K displays and vibrant HD video playback with Intel HD Graphics, NGC-1 delivers an exquisite cinematic visual experience to your living room that makes it the perfect Home Theater PC.
Blazing-fast start-ups
Seamless web browsing, multi-tasking and compatible with a vast array of office productivity software, NGC-1 makes for an exceptional thin client solution. Equipped with 3 USB 3.0 ports, simply attach a screen [via HDMI or miniDP], keyboard, mouse, and printer, and NGC-1 is ready to go in any environment.
NGC-1 offers the premium performance, high quality craftsmanship and construction that users have come to expect from MINIX. Perfect for those seeking an energy efficient ultra-compact mini PC that delivers the powerful performance you need whether for work or play.
There is clearly an absolute wealth of options for media playback via Windows but, for us, performance via open source software, KODI, is of prime importance as it’s the most comprehensive and flexible available. As a point of note, the extremely low power consumption of the NGC-1 does make it a very good choice to run as a PLEX server and we also had that up and running with zero issues to report with the NGC-1 comfortably able to serve at least four PLEX clients without breaking sweat – the excellent networking speeds again pay dividends here so, if PLEX is your thing, the NGC-1 makes a fine choice. Please note we used KODI v16rc3 for testing.
But on with the testing, and beginning with 4K/Ultra HD material, which threw up a couple of surprises.
As expected, given the chipset, the NGC-1 really hasn’t got the power to handle 10-bit 4K video, although it did try, but it should be able to play 8-bit HEVC encoded [4K & 1080p]material without any problems. Strangely, all 8-but Ultra HD HEVC we tried produced only a green screen via KODI, albeit with accompanying audio, but we were surprised by the results. We had checked all our Intel drivers were up-to-date and used both KODI 15.2 and RC 16.3 but with the same outcome. We’ve contacted Minix who, in turn, are investigating along with Intel. We would expect that this situation will be resolved quickly but, as things stand, the NGC-1 is struggling with HEVC files – this wasn’t just using KODI, by the way. Besides that, performance was impressive playing 4K material with automatic refresh rate switching working a charm; it even switched from Ultra HD [3840x2160] to true 4K [4096x2160] when necessary. The review will be updated as/when/if the problem is resolved.
Moving on to some less taxing material and we take a look at how the NGC-1 deals with video content at lesser resolutions, progressive and interlaced and over a number of different codecs.
Once again, the only file to throw up any issues was HEVC encoded, although this time it was a 1080p file producing the green screen. It’s good to see the NGC-1 is able to handle VC1 encoded material, as many Android media boxes struggle with that and the NGC-1 also displayed very good deinterlacing and scaling also; so, if you have broadcast TV as part of your home media setup, the NGC-1 will serve you well.
Now Ultra HD Blu-ray is, just about, out in the wild the capacity of a device to handle material with very high bitrates will – provided someone finds a way to rip them – become increasingly important and when the move to higher framerates also happens, the need will likely increase. As we’ll see from the results, the NGC-1 certainly has plenty of power to handle them, albeit with some caveats. Note: all files were tested via local attached [USB 2.0 1TB Samsung HDD] storage and via a NAS [ASUSTOR AS6102T] with each producing the same results.
So we can see that the NGC-1 is well capable of handling material at even 200Mbps but it’s questionable what use that is when it can’t handle 10-bit HEVC Ultra HD, or even 8-bit, for the time being.
Moving on to 3D video content and the situation is a little more difficult to define. There are a number of paid-for media players that claim to be able to do it but we’re not about to pay for any of those when what they will actually support, in terms of file type and codec are not especially clear. What we do know is that there is no native support for frame packed 3D - for Intel Windows – via KODI so we gave the [highly impressive] DS Player add-on – it calls on external players - a whirl.
The DS Player allowed the playback of frame-packed 3D material in an MKV container but not as a full disc image [ISO]. It’s not a bad result, all things considered, and at least the ISO played fine in 2D. The fact you have to engage the TVs mode manually to get Top-and-Bottom and Side-by-Side 3D is nothing more than a minor inconvenience really but if you’re big in to 3D, there are better alternatives than a Windows environment.
That is also the case when it comes to HD audio too, unfortunately, with Intel yet to produce the drivers to enable HD audio passthrough in KODI. You won’t be completely bereft of audio, down-mixing works OK but it’s a current weakness in the platform.
There was semi-success with the DTS-HD formats which played through as core DTS in 5.1 but all Dolby Digital codecs returned only 2.0 PCM, which is a tad disappointing. Standard Dolby Digital 5.1 came through fine, as did DTS so if you don’t need/want HD audio there will be no issue for you but we do hope Intel gets their act together in releasing the necessary drivers. The hardware is certainly capable and since Windows 10 is featuring in more and more ‘TV Boxes,’ it is something that really needs addressing.
It is worth noting that Minix is working on a version of NGC-1 that will either run on Ubuntu or OpenELEC which should shave a very decent amount off the asking price – at least the cost of the Windows license – so that might be something a lot of AV fans will hold on for as some of the lacking in support for various formats should be eradicated with either.
