Millet TV 3 Experience: 7 Things You Didn't Know




One, millet TV 3 host is not a millet TV host


It sounds like a tongue twister. I believe most people think that the host of Xiaomi TV 3 is the Xiaomi TV host, a device that can be used to pick up other brands of TV. But this is not the case. Xiaomi TV 3 is equipped with a special version of the mainframe. It lacks a power interface compared to the host computer sold separately. Therefore, it must be powered through the proprietary MiPort interface.

This only difference determines that the host of Xiaomi TV 3 cannot connect other TVs. This is all due to the magic MiPort interface.

Second, the cost of MiPort's next line


The millet's TV host needs to supply power and output video signals. Xiaomi uses a MiPort-based interface to convert the two lines of work into a single line. The price is that the millet TV host becomes two versions: the one with the power cord is the one with the Millet TV 3, the MiPort is connected with the MiPort; the one with the power cord is bought separately, and the other side of the MiPort interface is with other TVs. HDMI.

What is the innovation of the MiPort interface? It is actually power control. Think about the general TV box, after the box shuts down also needs to change a remote control off the TV screen, the millet TV 3 is not used. So it must have two versions of the host, one is a thousand dollar television box (output signal only), and the other improves the experience (can input energy output, and reduce the number of wires).

There is actually more to an improved experience.

Third, "I just want to listen to music"


Just now we said that the Xiaomi TV host is like a "television box." From another perspective, it is also a smart speaker. We can start up to find the "Internet radio" application and select your favorite song (choose to listen to the song). Or you can not boot, click the "PLAY" button on the host, the music comes naturally ... The control keys on the host include the volume change, up / down and switch channels, used to control the millet's own "Douban Radio "enough.

But I lied to you. In fact, there is no such thing as not playing music on the phone. The realization logic of the millet TV 3 is that when you press the “PLAY” button while the computer is turned off, the system will turn on the phone, and then you can turn on “Internet Radio” to play the music, but the screen does not light up. When you listen to the song, press the power button again, the screen will be on, and the truth will be bright.

This is equivalent to improving the "closed screen song" experience. At present, the millet TV 3 is designed so that when the screen is closed, the remote control and the control buttons on the main unit cannot cut the song. Only the volume can be adjusted (the “CH” button on the main unit can switch channels).

Note: There is also a Music Control App for Millet TV 3, which is currently under development and has not yet officially launched.

Fourth, the remote control of small changes


In the past, Xiaomi’s remote control was powered by a button battery. The new version was changed to two 7-cell batteries, and the thickness was significantly increased. Because the curvature of the back was increased, the grip was actually more comfortable. With the Bluetooth 4.1 protocol, the pairing with the TV is automatic. It is not necessary to press and hold the two keys to enter the pairing mode as before.

Millet TV 3 comes standard with an ordinary Bluetooth remote control. Another 99 yuan can buy a new remote control with voice and somatosensory, both voice search for video programs, but also play some somatosensory games.

Fifth, the appearance changes little


Millet TV 3 has a textured effect on the metal frame. Some people like this rich feeling. Some people prefer the pure feeling before. Vary from person to person. This is almost the most visible change in the visual appearance of the millet TV3.

The back is more concise because all interfaces are transferred to the host, leaving only the power supply and MiPort. But do not expect it to be completely flat, although the host and audio module is not, but the display itself still needs the circuit board to drive, so the structure has not changed much, but the thickest place is thinner than 2S about 1 centimeter.

Millet TV 3 is currently available in 55-inch and 60-inch models.

Sixth, the performance did not change


Compared with Xiaomi TV 2S released three months ago, Xiaomi TV 3 has the same configuration of CPU/GPU and storage computing modules. From the parameter list, the change that can be seen is the Bluetooth 4.0 upgrade to Bluetooth 4.1.

Seventh, the contents are also numerous


The new TV version of the MIUI system has added a few video portals on the front page (previously only "online video" one), can directly enter movies, television dramas, animation and variety categories, or you can directly watch "video news." Or watch the show that you haven't watched before by watching history. This shows that Xiaomi is operating his own video content to supplement the short board.

Judging from the absolute number, Xiaomi TV has integrated the contents of four Internet TV licensees and is undoubtedly the leading one. However, each has its own account system. If you want to see all paid content, you must buy at least 4 VIP accounts. It is hard to be friendly. So in terms of content, Xiaomi needs to go further in the complex video copyright ocean, making it easier to see more content and make it easier to purchase paid content.

to sum up


There is a point of view that it is not a good idea for Xiaomi to put the host and the sound together. Because the sound is a very slow upgrade product, the host is the opposite, put the two devices together, the future upgrade host, but also to replace the audio, it seems a bit wasteful. From this perspective, it is not unreasonable. I believe Wang Chuan has his own considerations and trade-offs.

In order to do split TV instead of people's "box + TV", Xiaomi must develop the MiPort interface. Therefore, the experience gained by the Xiaomi TV host plus another big TV cannot be compared with Xiaomi TV 3, which is unexpected and reasonable.
