Differences between the models OPENBOX ® X-730PVR, X-750PVR, X-770CIPVR

At the moment the 700-series model, the following receivers:

Model	Card reader	CI-Interface	Time-Shift	Record on USB-Memory	Color receiver
Openbox X-730PVR	1 piece	no	No	Yes	silver
Openbox X-750PVR	1 piece	no	built-in 1GB memory	Yes	silver
Openbox X-770CIPVR	1 piece	2 pcs	built-in 1GB memory	Yes	black or silver
Openbox X-790CIPVR	1 piece	2 pcs	built-in 1GB memory	Yes	black

When you select the receiver, be aware that an important difference model Openbox X-730PVR is No built-in 1GB memory and hence the regime Time-Shift.

Initially, the model Openbox X-730PVR Time-Shift mode planned to realize when you connect an external USB-drive (Flash, HDD, etc.). Given that the market has a significant number of USB-drives, becomes unstable when the active exchange of data sheet, from the Time-Shift mode in the model Openbox X-730PVR had to give up (all the recording features are left).

 

Which processor built receivers?

All the receivers of the new series are based on modern processors CX2430x company Conexant. The distinctive feature of this series is the high integration and a new 32-bit ARM core with a high operating frequency of 150MHz. Through the integration of QPSK modulator, USB-controller and other modules in a single package, managed to significantly reduce the cost of the finished product.

At the same time, qualitative indicators of audio / video decoders are at a very high level, which allows little or no loss to reproduce the signal.

It must be remembered that the use of the new processor is not yet a success, a very important role played by the software, as well as the circuitry of the receiver. Software, in most cases, is responsible for the functionality of the product, and circuitry - for its quality indicators.
For example, processors Conexant family CX2430x provide excellent output video, but banal savings on components of analog circuits in the design of the receiver, can give a disgusting picture quality when connected to a TV.

In the development of receiver circuitry 700-series involving the best engineers of the industry, and the result of their work can be seen in a crystal clear and crisp images, even on large screens with a diagonal.

 

How to connect your receiver to your TV (LCD / Plasma panels) on the component?

For the highest quality images, it is desirable to use the connection with separate colors (RGB) or component video signal (PbPrY). In the former case, the standard can be considered cable SCART <-> SCART, but the component connection will need a special cable.

Given the relatively small size in the receiver corps of 700-series, on the back panel is not enough space for three full-RCA-connector component video outputs (PbPrY). But the component video output in devices vseravno present, it is implemented on the SCART TV connector.
For component video signals (PbPrY) uses the same DAC, which is issued through the RGB-output (only necessary to activate the appropriate video mode in the menu).

To connect the need to purchase or make yourself cable SCART <-> 3 x RCA.

Receivers are built on the processors of the company Conexant, which, unlike those present in the market of products, have a slightly different architecture of the video decoder. Therefore, the corresponding signals on SCART TV connector in the component mode, the receiver 700-series is somewhat different than bolshinsva other devices.

Fork, inserted in the receiver	Openbox 300/800/7200	Openbox 700-Series	RCA-connectors are included in the TV
	7 - B - Pb 11 - G - Y 15 - R - Pr	7 - B - Pb 11 - G - Pr 15 - R - Y

As is clear from the table, using the component connection receivers 700-series, ponadobtsya only swap connectors Y and Pr. 

 

During the software update is lost electricity and the receiver does not turn

In most cases, the owners of receivers 700 series can use a modern USB-port for software updates, and transfer the settings on your computer. This method provides excellent performance and does not require a computer next to the receiver.
Despite this, already "old" port RS232, can be a vital tool in situations where the receiver is out of order. And the reason of failure may be banal disappearance of electricity at the time the software update via USB-drive.

To work through the RS232 port will need to "Null-modem cable with connectors such as" Female RS-232 ".

Cable can be purchased at the nearest company that sells computers or make yourself at the figure below.

The cable consists of three wires, two of whom are mixed (5-5, 2-3, 3-2).

If you use a laptop computer or simply do not have a computer COM-port, you can buy USB <-> RS-232 adapter, such Viewcon VE42.

Now run the program Porter, ask the mode (Mode - Software) and select the file with the software for our receiver.

The next step, click the Download button and turn on the receiver, to run the horizontal column with information on the percentage completion of the operation.

After the operation, on the front of the receiver will light inscription End, then the receiver will reboot and be ready to receive remote commands.

 

What file system supports drives receiver?

Receivers are compatible with many devices such as USB Mass Storage, but the drives should have a file system type FAT16 or FAT32. NTFS file system and others are not supported receivers.

 

How to properly connect large-capacity drive?

Satellite Receiver is a domestic device, so to integrate it all the possibilities the PC is impossible. Therefore, before you connect a new hard drive, need help computer.

If you drive a small amount, it can be contributed by the Windows XP (Disk Management) to create a partition and format it in FAT32. To create a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB will need special software (Partition Magic ...). But to solve this problem can and other, easier way:

1. Connect the drive to a computer with Windows XP and create a partition but not format it.



2. The next step is to connect the drive to the receiver, go to Menu> Format (USB) and format the drive.



Now the receiver displays the amount of available disk and can be used to record programs.

3. If the first stage of the disk has not been assigned to the letter, it can be done now (In Windows XP for this is the Disk Management utility).



After that, the contents of the disc will be available through normal conductor.

 

In what format you're recording?

Record receivers produced in the format *. TS, but still only one audio track. When the maximum file size for FAT32 (4GB), for automatically breaking receiver recording into multiple files.

All entries can be viewed on a computer or converted into other formats. It also enables the playback of the receiver party video, pre-transformation in TS .*
