Double Eleven, the new Lynx box strikes again - Lynx Box M13 evaluation

On November 11th, a National Carnival Shopping Festival will be opened again. After the Lynx Box is presented with a double eleventh handwriting, almost every year, the Double 11 will release a new product. This year will be no exception and there will be another one. The new Lynx Box is about to be released - Lynx Box M13, it is a great honour to get this product in advance. The following is the mystery of M13 unveiled by LEO.

Unpacking

The Lynx Box is quite attentive on the packaging of the product, and a lining is added inside the outer box. And inside the packaging box is still almost the same as the previous generations, not much change, the middle of a big cat LOGO, simple and elegant. Behind the product information labels and manufacturers and other information, and the biggest highlight of this product is to support 4K HD, very much looking forward to.

Open the box and found that the M13's appearance changes is not too big, in addition to Tmall's magic box 2 at the time of appearance changes, almost every generation is this design, think about other brands of TV boxes, the most heart in the new generation of products is Exterior. However, Tmall's box has always been emphasized is the cost, I believe consumers will not be too tangled in this appearance.


Let's take a look at the “Family Blessing” of Tmall Box M13, Lynx Box M13, remote control, power supply, HDMI cable, manual and battery, and on the packaging of the HDMI cable, you can see that the gift is written. So if the home is not using a very old TV (only AV interface), basically connected can be used. Of course, if your TV is still relatively old, don't worry, but you need to buy your own AV cable.


Although tangled up with the appearance of the box in the front, but really put the box out on the table, it still feels very good-looking, and the design of the kitten shape, more reflects the product's agility, more cute. The frosted surface of the red part will not easily leave fingerprints. The triangle in the middle nose is actually the indicator of the box. The middle of the bottom is a circle of protrusions, making the product more stable in the square, surrounded by a black glossy shell, the middle is the product bar code, product name, power supply information, certification marks and environmental recycling mark.

It is also very important that a TV box is equipped with various interfaces. The interface of M13 from left to right is DC power supply, HDMI high-definition interface, network interface, USB2.0, system initialization button, 3.5mmAV line interface. In normal use, the user's needs can be met, and it can be said that there are not many and many, and the distribution is even, and the insertion and removal are also more convenient.


I remember that the cat's box remote control was a lot of my Tucao at that time, there is no grip, the key sound is very loud, etc., but after several generations of improvements, now is a qualitative leap, other key arrangements and conventional TV box The difference is not great, but the bright red “M” key is also called the magic key. If you like the shopping methods like spike shooting, then the magic key can help you. However, I also hope that the future Magic Key can support more custom functions.


Comparing with a generation of box, in addition to becoming more rounded from the square, the volume is also a lot of small, the interface, the new SD card slot, but if the installed software or games are less, the use of SD card slot Not great. But to say it back, the key key, Lynx Box is an internal upgrade.

Software articles

The Lynx Box M13 is equipped with the new Aliyun YunOS system, which is a deep customization system for Ali system products. It also makes the Lynx Box have a qualitative difference with other brands of boxes. In addition to watching movies, playing games, listening to music, you can also experience different kinds of TV shopping. In the main interface UI design is also very clear, notification information, system settings, my application has also been placed in front of the recent use can see the recently opened software, Lynx theater, film and television, games, children, etc., the following recommended Video.

The system setting interface adopts a horizontal layout design, making it more convenient to select. If you have played other branded boxes or even Android phone users, the content of this setting interface is almost the same, of course, remember to remember if you want to install a third-party application, remember to use the developer mode in the cartoon settings.

The Tmall Cinema is a more distinctive movie column, and it is also very consistent with the future development trend. Many users may not be very cold for the current paid program, but the protection of copyright, the policy will certainly be more and more tight, in the near future, It's harder to watch high-definition free programs. Therefore, Tmall Cinema is currently investing heavily in the purchase of movie copyrights. It also hopes that as a user of Tmall, it will also be able to contribute to the genuine fight against piracy.


Of course, it's not that all the videos in Tmall's box are to be paid, and 90% of the videos are actually for free viewing. Tmall and Hua Digital Media currently own Hollywood's six movie companies and genuinely authorized 2000 high-quality videos. , 160,000 hours of TV dramas, 1200 variety shows, 2800 hours of exclusive documentary, and is still updated.


Double 11 is coming soon, which means that the shopping carnival is coming. If you are tired of finding the favorite baby one by one on the computer, or you hate the narrow screen of the mobile phone, then TV shopping is also a new choice. Combining quality merchants from Taobao and Tmall, they are more assured and safe to buy.


If you like to play games, you can enter the magic hall of the game hall, a variety of types of games for you to choose, if you just have a gamepad, Lynx Box M13 high performance, but also let you play it.


In my application, you can see some TV software built into Tmall's box M13. If you feel unsatisfied, you can also download it from the app store. (But at present, due to policy restrictions, video and audio apps are not very rich in their own app stores. Of course, it is not difficult to enrich them.)



Tmall Box has a Ali TV Assistant on the corresponding mobile phone. After installing Ali's Assistant, it can let the APP in the same WIFI environment automatically search to the Lynx Box, and can immediately make the phone become a remote controller. If it is still not fun, You can also find the corresponding TV application on your phone and install it in a box.


The application market is not the corresponding software is not rich enough, the box does not come with TV broadcast software, do not worry, three steps to get. First install the "TV application butler", you can install a key from the Ali TV assistant, of course, this is not the application market of the TV APP, but a management system, you can uninstall the application, U disk installation, remote installation, application moving four projects . Want to install a new APP can choose remote and U disk two ways. However, either way, remind to open the developer mode.

However, U disk installation is conditional, you have to have a U disk, you have to download the corresponding APP from the computer to the U disk, in fact, it is still more trouble.


Select the remote installation step, first download the necessary TV box APP on the phone, (usually download a box application market, which can be freely selected inside the TV APP) I downloaded the sofa butler. Then open the remote installation in the TV interface, a web site will appear. Follow the prompts in the mobile browser to enter the URL, there will be an interface prompting the upload of the APK file, click on the phone to find the corresponding file (if the computer operation is the same operation) after the upload is complete, the TV screen will jump out whether to install, Click Install to complete.

If you want to watch the live class interface, or more videos, you will find a movie and television application in the installed sofa butler. Generally, the two VST all-aggregates and Taijie videos in the front can basically meet your viewing requirements.

Here is a high-definition picture of live TV, and a screenshot of "God Stealing Milk Dad 2". See it myself, I don't speak. But also to say, unfortunately, although the box supports 4K, but the source of 4K is still relatively small, the general high-definition is 1080P, but the perception effect, are still very good.

Summary review

The Lynx Box M13 has support for 4K and 64-bit processors. The hardware and software are remarkable. It also allows the Lynx Box M13 to enter the high-end box market, but the key key is the key. Double 11 price is still as long as 199 yuan, this cost-effective, absolute spike a large number of TV boxes, is currently in pre-sale, scrape a few red packets two days later, the price can be lower, do not say, I also go to pre-order One.

Rigid PCB , the largest number of PCB manufactured


What is Rigid PCB - Rigid PCB Definition


Rigid PCB is a kind of Printed Circuit Board, and is the largest number of PCB manufactured. It is made of solid substrate material, which can effectively prevent the distortion of the circuit board. Perhaps the most common Rigid Circuit Board is the computer motherboard. The motherboard is a multi-layer PCB designed to distribute power from the power supply while allowing communication between all components of the computer, such as CPU, GPU and RAM.

Rigid PCB can be used in any position where the PCB itself needs to be set to a shape and maintained during the remaining life of the equipment. Rigid PCBs can be anything from simple single-layer PCBs to eight or ten-layer multi-layer PCBs.

Rigid PCB and Flexible PCB are totally different. One is flexible and the other is rigid. Therefore, their application scenarios are different. In addition, there are rigid- Flex PCB . There are similarities between them. However, all rigid PCB have single-layer, double-layer or multi-layer structure, so they have common application scope. This is the case.

WHAT IS RIGID PCB



Some characteristics of rigid PCB


  • Rigid PCB is a kind of conventional PCB, which can not be like flexible PCB, because rigid PCB can not be twisted or folded into any shape, because it has FR4 reinforcement, which is very useful for increasing stiffness.

  • Rigid PCB is made up of copper trances and paths which are incorporated on a single board in order to connect the different components on the board. The base material of the board is made of rigid substrate which gives rigidity and strength to the board.

  • The computer motherboard is the best example of a rigid PCB with a rigid substrate material.


  • Once rigid PCBs are manufactured, they cannot be modified or folded into any other shape.


  • Rigid PCB is cheaper than flexible PCB. They are traditional PCBs and are widely used in many electronic products.


  • Flexible PCB and rigid PCB have their own limitations and advantages in terms of ease of use and availability. Both of them are used to connect multiple electronic components on circuit boards.



Rigid PCB Manufacturing


Rigid PCB is made up of different layers that are joined together using adhesive and heat, providing a solid shape to board material. Following layers are used to develop a rigid PCB.

Substrate Layer - rigid PCB material


  • Substrate layer, also referred base material, is made of fiber glass.


  • The FR4 is mostly used as a substrate material which a most common fiber glass that provides rigidity and stiffness to the board.


  • Phenilcs and epoxies are also used as a base material but they are not as good as FR4, however, they are less expensive and feature unique bad smell.


  • Decomposition temperature of phenolics is too low that results in delamination of the layer if solder is placed for long duration of time.

Copper Layer


  • On the top of substrate layer, there resides a copper foil which is laminated on the board with the help of added amount heat and adhesive.


  • In common use, both sides of the board are laminated with copper, however, some cheap electronics come with only one layer of copper material on the board.


  • Different boards come with different thickness which is described in ounces per square foot.

Solder Mask Layer


  • Solder Mask Layer houses above the copper layer.


  • This layer is added on the board to add insulation on the copper layer in order to avoid any damage in case any conduction material is touched with the copper layer.

Silkscreen Layer


  • Silkscreen layer is located above solder mask layer.


  • It is used to add characters or symbol on the board that provide better understanding of the board.


  • White color is mostly used for silkscreen however, other colors are also available including grey, red black and yellow.

RIGID PCB VS FLEXIBLE PCB



The differences between Rigid PCB And Flexible PCB


  • Most of the electronics made use of traditional rigid PCB. However, technology has been evolved and many products abandoned rigid PCBs because of their inability to get folded or twisted. This has erupted the idea of flexible PCB and soon it became the prerequisite for most of the professionals in the market.

  • Manufacturing process of both rigid and flexible PCBs is same with some exceptions in terms of their flexibility, softness and cost.

  • Some extra measures are required for processing flex PCB when it comes to material handling. Also proper specifications are required in order to avoid any cracked solder joints when the board is bent.

  • Flexible PCBs are most costly than rigid PCBs, however, we are referring here individual cost of the flexible PCB, it may happen the overall cost of the project using rigid PCB is higher than the cost of the flexible PCB, but individual cost of flexible PCB will be higher.

  • Many cheap electronics make use of rigid PCBs including audio keyboards, desktop devices, solid state drives, toys and many electronic gadgets. However, flex circuits are observed in ultra high performance device because they don`t involve connectors also thinner than rigid boards and can be used in smart phones, cameras, tablets and GPS control system.

  • Both rigid and flexible boards can be incorporated together to construct a unified product that comes with both strength and flexibility.

  • Some flex PCBs follow the same design as rigid circuit design but they are not completely identical to the rigid circuit boards.

  • Flexible PCBs provide flexible and bending solutions and they also require less space and are mostly Single-Sided PCB.



When to Use Rigid and When to Use Flexible


  • Rigid PCBs typically cost less than flex circuits. I say "typically" because when considering the total cost of ownership there are some applications that, when using flexible PCBs, may be less expensive compared to using rigid PCBs. To get a true and accurate understanding of the total cost of ownership, you first need to appreciate the fact that flex circuits may eliminate the need for components such as connectors, wire harnesses, and other circuit boards. By removing these components from a design, material cost, labor and assembly cost, and scrap cost are all reduced.

  • Many electronic devices (laptop and desktop computers, audio keyboards, solid-state drives (SSDs), flat-screen TVs and monitors, children`s toys, and various electronic gadgets) employ rigid PCBs instead of flexible PCBs. However, flex circuits may be found in ultra-compact and/or high-performance devices, including GPS units, tablets, smart phones, cameras, and wearables.

  • Greater sophistication is not the only reason to use flex circuits; low-tech applications,such as LED lights, may utilize flex circuit technology, in some cases because it makes installation much easier.



Rigid PCB Applications


  • A computer motherboard is a perfect example of rigid PCB which is a Multilayer Rigid PCB, used to distribute electricity from power supply, and creates a conducting path between CPU, GPU and RAM.

  • Rigid PCBs are manufactured in volumes and once they are designed, they can not be altered or modified and remain same throughout the entire life span of the project on which they are placed.

  • Some low cost products make use rigid PCBs like toys, ,electronics gadgets, desktop devices and solid state devices.

  • You should also have a look at Double-Sided PCB, these are also Rigid PCBs.
