Gehua Xiaoguo TV Box: One box is equivalent to two boxes in the past, with 140 sets of live TV + iQiyi smart on-demand

The TV cabinet at home is always messy and cannot be sorted out because it contains the cable TV boxes that parents watch, the TV boxes that young people watch, and if necessary, perhaps the NAS network storage system for geek players, plus the power and transmission cables of the TV. With so many cables tangled together, it is a headache to organize or clean them.

Why can't the cable TV box and TV box be combined into one to reduce space and learning costs when using it? In the United States, Comcast Corporation and Internet content provider Netflix have set an example and explored the way to integrate cable TV operators and online videos.

Why is there a small fruit called Gehua?

In China, due to many reasons such as the cooperation mode, there has been no similar cooperation, and it is more like the integration of IPTV. However, for many players, the content and performance of IPTV boxes have not been able to meet the needs. In fact, IPTV boxes have become "TVs with the worst content." The non-massive content and slow response speed all affect the user experience.

How to serve users who have higher requirements for performance? Gehua Cable, iQiyi and Baidu launched a two-in-one box in Beijing, Gehua Xiaoguo, which can provide both live TV and online video. The birth of Gehua Xiaoguo is a groundbreaking product in China, which truly achieves the effect of one box replacing two boxes.

It is reported that in the entire four-party cooperation plan, Gehua Cable provides live broadcast and playback of cable TV content; iQiyi provides on-demand and operation of massive genuine video content; Baidu adds artificial intelligence and voice recognition technology; in the future, Gehua Cable and iQiyi will achieve interoperability between the two parties' member users in "Gehua Xiaoguo".

There is no need to say much about the great significance of this box to the development of the industry. On the practical level alone, the inclusiveness of the content of Gehua Xiaoguo can allow every Gehua user to make a decision - replace the huge and ugly set-top box, now and immediately.

Gehua small fruit has already won the prize with its appearance

You have all seen TV set-top boxes. Apart from having no sense of design, the workmanship of their appearance can take you back to the early 1990s without any recollection. In an era when CNC cutting, 45-degree angle grinding, frosted polishing and other digital product processing terms are well-known in the minds of young people, TV set-top boxes with a recycled plastic texture still retain their original appearance. No matter how luxurious your home decoration is, a living room set-top box is enough to destroy everything and make the area under your TV cabinet always look touchingly old-fashioned.

The Gehua Xiaoguo is about half the size of a palm, not only can it be held in your hand, but the all-metal shell also makes you want to touch it. Gehua offers two shell colors to choose from, namely rose gold and titanium gray, which is convenient for users to match with their home environment.

From the LOGO on the outer shell, it can be seen that the main body of the Gehua Xiaoguo set-top box is still Gehua Cable, and the logos of companies such as iQiyi do not appear. It must be more reflected in the content end.

On the back of the Xiaoguo, the network port, HDMI, AV, USB and power are arranged in order. Although compact, it is comprehensive and sufficient for daily use. In actual use, the network cable does not need to be plugged in, because the Xiaoguo can connect to wireless WiFi.

Compared with ordinary set-top box remote controls that have densely packed buttons and whose functions you never know what they do, Xiaoguo's remote control is simple and clear, but its functions have been improved by two generations.

As a representative of the first generation of remote controls, ordinary set-top box remote controls are known for having numerous buttons and very few functions. It is completely impossible to tell what the engineers’ original design intentions were. Was it just for show and to confuse users?

Compared with ordinary set-top box remote controls, Xiaoguo's remote control has a secret. On the basis of the second-generation simple design, a voice button is added. The "Powered by DUER OS" at the bottom accurately points out its technology source - Baidu. As we all know, Baidu's achievements in voice recognition are already among the best in the world. It can be seen in everything from remote controls to self-driving cars. Whether it is reliability or intelligence, it has black technology beyond imagination.

Live TV is available on AI set-top boxes for the first time

Now let me show you the wonders of how one box of Xiaoguo is equivalent to two boxes.

When you enter the power-on interface, you will be prompted to pair the Bluetooth remote control. The method is very simple. Press and hold the round buttons on the left and right sides at the same time and bring the box close to start pairing.

Just start connecting to the network

Entering the content interface, the overall layout has a strong iQiyi flavor, at least from the emerald green color scheme, you will feel familiar. The homepage is the entrance to the live TV broadcast, and the live broadcast content will be played in real time in the center of the screen. Click to enlarge it to full screen. On the left side, you can change channels. Many IPTV users should be very familiar with this operation logic. On the right side, there is a program playback function. It doesn’t matter if you miss the live broadcast, you can watch it again.

At the bottom of the screen, Xiaoguo will prompt the user to try using the voice function. It is worth mentioning that the voice of Gehua Xiaoguo does not require prompt words, and you can talk directly and say whatever you want to see.

In addition to asking some common questions, Xiaoguo can also provide a function similar to Baidu search, allowing you to search for information on various celebrities at will.

Even during the program, he could express his needs, such as fast forward and rewind. In order to tease Xiaoguo, he also tried to shout out various strange commands, such as instructing Xiaoguo to "jump to the end of Empress Fucha" when watching the popular online drama "Story of Yanxi Palace". Surprisingly, Xiaoguo recognized it instantly. This shows the evolution of its big data and voice recognition.

In addition to the voice technology, iQiyi's massive content is worth mentioning. No matter whether it is the current popular online celebrity drama or the popular classic drama in the past, on Gehua Xiaoguo, as long as you become a member of iQiyi or Gehua, you can choose from hundreds of thousands of dramas.

In addition, when children use Xiaoguo, Gehua has also come up with a good way to separate the content for children and adults.

Among children's content, bloody murders in adult films and films with scenes that are not suitable for children will be automatically filtered out to ensure that children have a happy and healthy growth space.

In order to prevent children from accidentally entering adult film and television environments, Xiaoguo also provides a verification step, and only those who answer correctly can enter. This prevents this situation from happening to the greatest extent, allowing parents to let their children use Xiaoguo with peace of mind.

Summarize:

The launch of Gehua Xiaoguo has broken the TV industry structure of DVB, IPTV and OTT for more than a decade, and sounded the clarion call for the integration of DVB and OTT. In fact, apart from the industry, from the user's perspective, Gehua Xiaoguo, a product that replaces two boxes in the past, is definitely welcomed with open arms. After all, there are two obvious advantages. One is to save home space, and the other is to complete the seamless switch from live broadcast to Internet content on the same set-top box. There is no need to go back and forth on the TV to adjust the HDMI input and output, which is a technical problem. One remote control can meet the needs of the whole family.
