Movies from the Air!

So time goes by, the chariot moves, the hardware evolves, and computing and multimedia not only converge but slowly merge. Televisions are flat and can be used to play computer games. The monitors are flat and can be used to watch television. The VCR, the CD, is a thing of the past (in the latter, the music still holds true), but slowly we can also pop the DVD. Our world is slowly coming under the control of various media players, such as the subject of our article, ASUS O! Play Air.

We recently discussed the ASUS O! Play player, and now here’s the successor, the more advanced Air, which brought something new in two things compared to the normal O! Play. Unsurprisingly, the management of networks in the field of wireless networks, as well as storage card memory support. It’s hard to waste a lot of words on these, as setting up wireless networks has added one point to the menu, just as memory cards have added just that much. We tried them, they worked.

Here’s the answer to why the article begins in a faramuci way. When we got the moth at ASUS ’home office, only one thing was knotted on our souls to quickly make an article about the player. This seemed a bit problematic at first glance, as we only gave an overview of the little salt a few months ago, so now it would be hard to come up with another intriguing writing. For this reason, I have decided that this article will not be like a traditional tutorial, but like what you are reading now. If the technical parameters are missing, I’d rather try to show how it can feel to live with an O! Play signal.

As the introduction has shown, it is good and not only good, but also simple. If you’re using O! Play, all you really have to do is connect it to your TV, give it some power, and you can already start your cinema over your home network. It supports essentially all kinds of well-known formats, and it is no stranger to full HD resolution. We get a remote control that allows you to easily browse the network, find your movies, music or photos in a matter of seconds. Looking back over the past few years, the difference is heaven and earth. If someone uses O! Play, they no longer like to remember video tapes, but also slowly CDs. Why would we remember the monotonous Hungarian subtitle synchronization, the checkered image, when we are spoiled by a crystal clear, high-resolution image experience and a similarly clear surround sound.

Of course, this is also true for listening to music. In addition to the good old MP3, we also find many other formats, such as FLAC, which our audiophile readers will surely prefer. Unfortunately, I’m deafer than noticing any differences, but anyone who thinks they’re a music lover shouldn’t be sad when using the Air either.

The situation is similar in the field of images. Although there is not as much choice in file formats here as there is in music, this should not be an obstacle, as the better known ones are also here. Have images in JPG, GIF, PNG, possibly TIFF format, there are no obstacles to viewing the image. You can scroll one by one or use a slideshow with different image transitions, the decision is ours.

The nice thing about it all is that we also get a remote control for the ASUS player, so you don’t even have to get up from the armchair and not have to clown with a mouse if you want to control the structure.
