Dear customers,

Small tip for you if you are not aware about this. Long press HOME button on your remote control for few seconds, you will see the below screen :



The screen serve two functions :

1). Press the clean up button will force close the apps still open in order to claim back the memory.
2). Press the left right button on your remote control, switch between the apps that were open earlier.

But how do I stream from my laptop and ipad to tv using the himedia? I have a few shows on my devices that I'd like to watch on my tv. Thanks

For ipad, just do the air play mirror from your iPad to your TV as mentioned in the earlier thread. Please PM where you stop if you unable to do the mirroring.

For laptop, I presumed your laptop is Windows, first you need to share the movie folder in your windows. From Q16, you goto media center -> LAN and search for the share folder of your Windows folder.

Please PM me if you have challenges to get the above done.

My ipad is an older jailbroken, device and doesn't have airplay. I have kodi installed on my ipad, though. And I'm a little confuse, how do I find the media center on the q16?

Oops..I've figured it out. Found media center and used kodi on ipad to stream to tv. Sorry, kacau you.

Hi, I'd like to order 1 more q16 quad core for a friend. But they would also like besides all the apps for English shows, apps for Thai shows and movies as well. Thanks

nicety,

Thanks for confirming that there' support for Dolby Atmos in the latest firmware.

Would like to ask about support for 29.976 video frame rate. Does the Q16 support this?

Edit: Would it be possible to control the Q16 with an android phone?

Thank you bro, would be appreciated if you could share your findings.

Would be appreciated if you could further explain about 29.976 video frame rate?

To control Q16 from Android, yiu ccould use HiControl.

For movies on blu-ray it is related to NTSC video format. My understanding is that all US blu-ray discs are recorded this way. Once the display is set for NTSC, to prevent micro-stuttering the source device must be able to output 23.976 frames per second to the display with a 3:2 pull down applied.

Wikipedia explains it much better than me here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24p
George Hupka explains it even better here: http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-differenc...cond-and-24-fps

Thanks for confirming control of the Q16 via the android phone.

Another question on the Q16. How does it hand Complex Seamless Branching with Dolby TrueHD audio that's been implemented for certain movies such as Expendables 3? Or John Wick? Can the Q16 handle this without causing audio drop outs when bit streaming Dolby TrueHD Atmos soundtrack?

Bro, do you know the different between 23.976fps and 1080p24?

http://www.cnet.com/news/what-is-1080p24/

You can turn on/off 1080p24 in Q16 native player, but I'm not sure this answer your question. Anyhow, I have play many Bluray files in the Q16, I do not see any problem with the blueray picture quality.



Himedia passthru Dolby TrueHD to your AV Recreiver, the handling of the complex Seamless Branching and decoding are done by your AV Receiver.

Hi nicety,

Would you be kind enough to carry out the following test patterns on the HiMedia Q16 and advise they pass? I.e. the bars move slowly?

Link to the test patterns are here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/40-oled-tech...ml#post27543473

The combined file which as all the test patterns is 144MB long.

If other owners of the HiMedia Q16 can also test their device to see if it pass the video test patterns, would appreciate it.

This and the ability to overcome Complex Seamless Branching encoded within the video are the only things outstanding that's preventing me from pulling the trigger on the Q16.

Would like to know if you can fill an overseas order? How to do? Currently living in Hong Kong so the product is going the long way around and take the garden path route to my place.

Thanks.

Edit: The display has to support the video pattern tests and not all displays do this. To check, use a known blu-ray player (such as Oppo) that does support all video formats and test on the display. If the blu-ray player with the display pass the video test patterns then the display can be used for checking the HiMedia Q16. With the HiMedia Q16 is connected to the display, use the same video test patterns does it pass?
