WEBVTT 00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:15.440 welcome to my unboxing and first look at the PBO Alpine so this is the successor 00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:20.560 to the immensely popular Patriot box office so you can see here up in the 00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:22.519 corner it is powered by Android 2.2 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.119 although it should be you got to bear in mind that you can't necessarily install 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.320 you know Angry Birds on it or anything like that but it is still compatible 00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:34.040 with apps whether developed by Patriot or whether developed by end users who 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.800 want to enable more functionality on the device so you can use apps but not 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:42.879 necessarily the entire you know Marketplace like you can use on your phone because most of the apps require 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:46.440 touchcreen which is obviously not present so this is a full HD Media 00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:51.320 Player yes it is compatible with 1080p it better be at this point does YouTube 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:56.800 HDMI it has DTS as well as Dolby Digital let's go ahead and flip it around so 00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:00.760 full HD all-in-one media player built over the Android 2.2 o free 00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:04.760 your digital media library from the constraints of a PC and Brides digital media to your home and entertainment 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:09.560 system brings your entire media library to the comfort of your living room now one of the things that was so great 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:13.040 about Patriot box office was the huge compatibility with file formats and 00:01:11.479 --> 00:01:15.960 we've seen a continuation of that with the PBO Alpine and that's one of the 00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.280 things that Patriot will continue to work on in order to make it as useful as 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:25.240 possible compatible with a variety of different video formats different 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.840 containers images audio and you can see there's a little bit of information 00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:34.159 about the hardware here so it has an ARM CPU up to 500 MHz 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.159 um two USB 2.0 ports works with a 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:42.320 keyboard and mouse which is kind of neat as well as HDMI 1.3b output so you can't 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:46.680 do Native 3D it's just something to remember guys um optional Wi-Fi with a 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.240 USB adapter that is sold separately so let's go ahead and open it up and see 00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:54.840 what we can see one of the things you'll notice about it compared to the original 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.680 box office is that it is very very small 00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:01.240 which is fantastic if you want to use it for something like digital signage for 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.000 example uh so you can just mount it somewhere discreet and out of the way 00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:10.679 without worrying about anyone walking off with it it's also good if you just 00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:13.040 want an overall clean looking media PC 00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:17.800 area so you don't have to or media PC TV area so you don't have to have like some 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.560 huge clunky box cluttering things up now 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:24.400 the drawback of that is that it isn't unfortunately compatible with um adding 00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:29.560 an internal hard drive but for the smaller size I guess 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:36.640 we'll have to live with that so inside the box we have an AC 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:40.680 adapter an HDMI cable a user manual on 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:42.640 disk as well as a remote so the remote 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:47.959 has all of your basic functionality navigation enter play stop forward back 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:53.519 other more different forward back menu info subtitles and audio power volume 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.920 and that pretty much does it now in terms of interface Patriots actually 00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:03.760 taking a fairly unique approach with this where they have kind of a stock um 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:09.360 more basic firmware that is going to be designed for if your grandma wants to 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:11.120 watch like Korean soaps and you don't 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.319 want to like be dealing with it every other day going over there and helping 00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:19.080 her figure it out you just give her the stock firmware here you go Grandma enjoy 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:22.080 you know you set up the network share once for her because she probably is 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.920 going to have trouble with that and it can actually ah yes this diagram is 00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:31.360 useful it can pull media from a variety of different sources whether it's wired 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:36.239 or or over Wireless whether it's you know mobile or a UPnP or DNA compatible 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.280 device or even a PC sorry where was I going with that 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.080 right so they have the easy firmware for Grandma and then if you want Patriots 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.400 also developing in parallel a more Enthusiast friendly stream where they're 00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:51.239 going to be reaching out to the community and finding out what they want 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.079 out of this because again that was one of the things that was great about the box office was that they Continue to 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.159 update the functionality over time so if you're an Enthusiast that's the one 00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:03.000 you're going to want to go for now on the outside see not a whole lot because 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.400 this is a very very small device so you got a few little logos there you got 00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:10.879 your SD card as well as your USB remember you can play media directly off 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:16.160 of something plugged into the PBO Alpine you don't necessarily have to play over 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:19.239 the network also got indicator here on 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.479 the back we've got our av out so you'll 00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:24.880 need an adapter for that guy USB HDMI 00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:29.280 out most like 99.9% of people are probably going to be using this Ethernet 00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:33.919 as well as power in so that pretty much covers it that's our basic over that's 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:37.680 our basic overview it's pretty simple to use in it stock configuration here's 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:44.240 their entire quick install guide connect HDMI plug-in power connect to you know 00:04:41.639 -->
