I recall watching the promotional video product that would be, this product is no clear concept, just know that this is a cool device, until I got from that moment a product is also wondering, how to use this thing . This really counts as a brand-new product category, and what the true performance will be. Please feel free to join me.
Product introduction:
Semi If the control center is a highly integrated functional portable control device includes a WiFi transceiver module, a Bluetooth 4.1 module, independent sound system, the control dial music, speech receiving microphone, 3.5mm headphone jack, a high speed USB3.0 Hub , QC2.0 fast charge and Type-C interface and so on.
The above picture is the author's basic working status, chaos into a dog, visible on the book's interface is basically all use, connecting the device followed by headphones, u disk, card reader, mouse, etc., I would like to add a game keyboard no place Plug in. I believe there are more friends than my device. Well, half fruit controller which can help the author improve issues behind us say.
Enforced shape design
The semi-fruit control center adopts T6061 aluminum alloy material. After heat treatment and machining milling, the surface presents a mirror-like effect. The whole body at the top is a circular dial, and the volume can be adjusted. The middle circle is hidden. The indicator light can change with the volume adjustment. As a result of the integration of the design, so the whole body look seamless fit, a screw at all. Work is very meticulous, first impression is very delicate, all-metal material of the body, which will help with the cooling time, but also to enhance the texture.
Seeing the first impression of the product, the first thing I thought of was the US team. If it was the coating of the US team, it would be cool. I do not know if the factory has any interest in doing this custom version.
(Image from the network)
The process of the body can be generally seen, and how a round aluminum ingot material becomes a finished product. The surface of the body can be felt by hand together with a texture, it is a trace of machining, in fact, can achieve a higher surface roughness, such as the effect of the mirror, it is estimated that the factory specifically for it, highlighting the feel and say no quasi.
The metallic material has a very good effect under the glossy light and has a drawback. It is particularly vulnerable to fingerprints and full fingerprint collectors.
If the controller uses the bottom half transparent design, you can glance to see the inside of a black PCB circuit board inside the chip, and so see clearly, personally happy joy this design, a kind of electronic scientific beauty, believe "Poisoning" is not a minority. In the outermost ring there is also a circle of black rubber mats to prevent slipping.
Arm-to-tooth interface configuration
The half-fruit controller has a very rich interface, which is convenient for daily use. There are four USB3.0 ports distributed around the machine. In addition to being used by the Hub, it can also be used as a charger, and the single port supports up to 2.4A output. with the auxiliary power supply can provide maximum output 20W, then there USB3.0Type-C port and 3.5mm audio port.
3.5mm audio port, visible omnidirectional interference microphone.
The USB3.0Type-C port is used to link with the computer. The bottom round hole is the auxiliary power supply interface. Only when the auxiliary power supply is started, the fast charge of the QC2.0 can be realized.
Though small, taste organs, these words to describe very appropriate half If the controller, in addition to the interfaces described above, the half If the controller also supports Bluetooth connection 4.1 (support multiple Bluetooth devices), And the built-in wireless network card can also be used as a hotspot to facilitate the use of a desktop computer without a network card.
Prepare before use
The author of the system Win7 Professional, semi-fruit controller connected to the computer will automatically install the driver, reportedly Win10 system optimization is better, various drivers installed relatively smoothly. XP and Win7 network card and Bluetooth driver will be more troublesome, OSX has no problem. The author's network card driver can not be automatically installed, fortunately in the group to see a friend's official website microblogging out the download address installed .
After installing the driver, open the device manager and you will see a lot more devices.
Functional experience
Good quality external HiFi sound card
This should be regarded as a function of the main control of the semi-fruit controller. The author usually likes to work while listening to music. If the controller is equipped with a central semi HiFi Texas Instruments chip, can provide the maximum power output of 60mW, a 90dB signal to noise ratio, harmonic distortion is 0.01%, and has Max Bass (bass boost) technical skills addition, for enhancing headphones low-frequency table now, the performance of rich sound quality, great help, is this feature attracted the author, after all, the market is slightly "seriously" amp is not cheap.
The half fruit controller supports 3.5mm audio interface and Bluetooth two ways to connect, I use AKG K545 and FIILWireless two headphones to listen to, which FIIL Wireless also supports wireless Bluetooth connection.
By audition experience, the effect is obvious, the two headphones are portable headphones designed to take into account when less power mobile phones and other mobile devices, so very good push, but After all, low-power devices such as mobile phones, headsets and quality Can not be fully demonstrated, the actual sense of hearing, bass feel more obvious, full of stamina, a change in the past in the mobile phone on the front of the performance of the downturn, the overall performance of headphones is more exhilarated, a lot of rich sense of hearing quality, there is no obvious bass boost bass. It seems to strengthen the low-frequency performance .
Through the 3.5mm interface, in addition to headphones, you can also external speakers Oh.
Cool volume adjustment dial
The half-fruit controller's volume adjustment method is very cool. The entire body shell dial is the volume adjustment knob. After the power is turned on, the hidden light strip lights up. The rotary dial and the light strip will change with the volume level , which is very cool.
Where where just want to feel touched to see the video as propaganda, to force the grid to adjust the volume very, very good customer experience design, there will be some initial stroke is no reaction when the dial to adjust the volume, we read says It should be to prevent unintentional touches from changing the volume and affecting the experience.
Is it really easy to be contaminated with fingerprints, can you see the little fingerprints on the top, I also hate this fingerprint, the fingerprint of the phone is full every day. This can be regarded as a "mainstream Configuration".
USB3.0 High Speed ​​HUB
Indeed the liberation of the author's computer, four USB3.0 expansion capability is very strong, I add u disk, card reader, mouse and keyboard game, grace, and full, this function desktop users to the Gospel Do not drill under the table to plug in, if replaced by wireless mouse and keyboard, you can further save space.
USB3.0 controller also supports a single port maximum 2.4A charging, total power up to 20W. Since there is no external power supply plug, how does this particular performance be? The author takes a wait-and-see attitude.
Bluetooth 4.1 Collection Management
Half fruit controller supports storage of multiple Bluetooth devices, basically most of the Bluetooth devices can be connected, I connected wireless speakers, mobile phones and tablets. Mobile phones and flat-panel connections need to confirm the pairing, the speaker is not required.
Through Bluetooth, pictures, music and files can be pushed to a mobile phone or tablet. The actual connection is very convenient, the search is faster, and the Bluetooth transmission is also more stable. Products such as Bluetooth wristbands cannot be connected. For example, the briceli5-4610 in the above figure can be searched, but the installation driver will report an error.
External WiFi transceiver module
The controller has a built-in wireless network card, which can be used to wirelessly connect to the network. It can also change modes to hotspots and provide its own network to other terminals. No wireless network card for desktops and laptops, this feature is very useful, I have a laptop wireless card, so it can meet and other small partners the same problem, can not be converted into a hot spot mode. The experience of this feature is slightly regrettable.
Experience summary
The semi-fruit controller as a highly integrated portable device, powerful expansion capabilities and wireless connectivity capabilities and high-quality independent sound card system is impressive, this is a new experience, although some features are still lacking, We can not completely replace some of the equipment, but it can go with you anywhere, so that people can better entertainment, work and communicate. For the traditional desktop PC and the now more popular PC tablet combo product, the half-fruit controller can be a good extension supplement. Place as a new class, half if the controller needs to develop and improve a lot, now experience some of the views described as follows:
advantage:
1, excellent design, forcing a very high, high value.
2. An independent sound card system improves the sound quality.
3, volume adjustment dial, easy to operate, a word, cool!
4, built-in microphone, Bluetooth and WiFi to make communication more convenient, multi-port USB is very practical.
Suggest:
1. For Win7 and XP systems, the driver part needs to be improved.
2, for the PC flat-panel products wired connection, should also be considered, now more and more PC flat combo products, if you can effectively and semi-fruit controller connection, it is also very conducive to the promotion of such products.
3, this shape if you do not DIY and custom is too wasteful, the introduction of the US captain version, I believe it will be a very single product.
