More importantly, the player is also able to bitstream DTS-MA and Dolby True HD over HDMI with the new 2.0.3 firmware update. Found within media players from the likes of eGear, AC Ryan and ASUS, this chip is highly sought after given its relatively low price and comprehensive video format support, including MKV and RMVB containers. Incidentally, DViCO has switched to a third-generation Realtek RTD1073DD chipset instead of a Sigma offering.
To be fair, we patched the TViX HD N1's firmware (version 2.0.3) before conducting our analysis. Instead, we had to press the "Goto" button to wriggle our way out to the main menu. To add, hitting the "Return" button doesn't always necessarily return you to the previous screen or level. The N1 can be reactive one moment, and unresponsive the next. However, navigation on this thing is far from perfect. A built-in UPnP function also makes it easy to stream content on your home network.

Expect to find YouTube and Picasa in its ranks, among a host of other RSS feeds such as weather forecasts and TV streaming locations. Peek under the IMS option, and it becomes apparent that the Koreans have packed the player with a number of quick media links. Regrettably, startup was relatively slow at 19 seconds, considering that this unit doesn't house any internal drive. The N1's graphical interface is flavored with a bold red and black theme, with primary tabs such as Movies, Music and IMS (Internet Media Services) displayed on its splash screen. This is player is entirely dependent on its remote, so keep that stick in sight. For streaming, a basic 100Mbps Ethernet port is available, but you'll have to acquire the TViX WLAN-6200C dongle for wireless runs. While the actual power button is housed beneath the flap, you can activate it by pressing on the lid as well.Ĭonnectivity wise, the N1 has just enough I/O ports to stamp its mark as a decent media tank, including a HDMI 1.3a slot and a pair of analog (component and composite) connectors. At the top of sits an inconspicuous lid which conceals a USB and memory card reader. What's missing in the N1's case, compared to the M-7000, is an internal hard disk enclosure and fan. Probably for its coffee mug resemblance we reckon? Designįor starters, we have no qualms about the N1's black and polished brushed-metal looks. According to DViCO, the TViX HD N1 is strangely dubbed the "Café". Although that inclination hasn't improved by much, they did, however, downsize their former TVIX HD M-7000 into a bite-sized offering.
