Dreambox DM500S several versions of the operating system (img) Comparison

Dreambox the img we are most familiar with is cnDB_DM500_alpha Chinese version, pli - Garnet - dm500 and The_Gemini_Project the. These two are non-Chinese version of the German development team developed. One of the most famous was the most commendable of course, is a Gemini. Now Gemini team almost the entire month launched a new series of img covering DM500/600/7000/7020/7025.
Now Dm500 players commonly used mainly three img
Chinese version cnDB_DM500_alpha
English Gemini_Project
English pli - Garnet
These three img I have tested and now on their characteristics that summed up.
Chinese version (cnDB_DM500_alpha)
Advantages: Chinese language interface is conducive not based on the use of English. But can easily editorial Chinese Taiwan subscript. Should be a universal best img.
Weaknesses: As DM500 never considered Chinese language core, we now have more Chinese language version of Bug, it is not very stable. Another important defect is the Chinese version is based on Version lower gemini img from the Chinese localization, quality is more rough.
English (pli - Garnet)
Advantages: skin look better positioned properly, the skin shows no gemini insufficiency problems. But can real-time display of signal strength information. This version of the biggest advantages can be set for each separate Taiwan cam, do not have to use different as gemini and Chinese versions, only need to use different cam swap.
Disadvantages: img shortcomings also very prominent. A major shortcoming is the quality is very rough, the color is very dark. Chinese version of the quality and extent of the poor equally. Also this version of the interface while beautiful skin, but when white font, if the image itself is a very bright, it is difficult to see text.
Another disadvantage is that the hardware and adaptability seem not very good, some mosaic. While domestic use of almost all of them are copied plate machine, and therefore its hardware compatibility needs to be strengthened. There is unable to show Chinese. Another point is that img must pass com-mouth to brush, brush through the network of lines certainly crashed. Also deficiency is occupying more space, I installed only the months of the img, occupying 70% of the space.
English (Gemini_Project)
This version is now out of the 3.60 version.
Advantages: One of the biggest advantages is the quality, color processing is very good, excellent image results. 3.4 version can display the signal strength of the information. Their relatively small capacity of only installed the software only occupied less than 30% of the space. Another use of the current 2942 Chinese small skin, the Chinese can support Taiwan subscript.
Disadvantages: gemini series of skin I downloaded almost all tested, and its interface is not PL skin effect, of course, contrast Yes, there will be no fuzzy font problems.
Img quality whether to support the Chinese version of space occupied stability of the skin effect brush way to set up independent cam
Chinese version of the general poor poor supporting larger networks do not support line
PLI poor do not support the general good serial port support
Gemini good support Chinese skin better network of small good lines do not support
With the above comparison, we can see from various img feature integrated contrast, is the most outstanding gemini a img had. Published by foreign players from the non-img of the evaluation can be seen in many high gemini than PLI, after I look at the actual contrast, the remark is true.
Ge we will be able to know from this is a German team, of course, we can also document its img found thick German flavor. Everyone in the VAR / tuxbox / config folder under that name is what? Enigma. A little understanding of World War II friends all know this is the most famous of Germany during World War II aircraft Ennige password code names. The German company now also proud ah.
Talking about the development team Dreambox is across Europe, I saw on the Internet that Germany, Britain, Italy, Britain, Belgium, Russia and so on. Europe outside of Australia only to see a very strange not the United States and Asia, such as Japan's development team. It seems really is a Dreambox Europeans used to things. Individual English and the content of websites also very old and simple. It is also worthy to note that many of these sites, no agent software is stagnant, and not aware of this purely technical and foreign language websites such as how much harm.
Here is also particularly pointed out that Russia's development team Rudbox. Now a bit sudden emergence of the impression that its img in recent months launched very quickly, covering Dreambox full range of products, encroaching upon Gemini, but also as high-end products DM7025 the IMG one of the main team.
We look at the DM500 IMG launched Rudbox situation
06/03/07 4965 kB LZMA Neutrino.Dream Plus v2.03
14/01/07 5086 kB LZMA Neutrino.Dream Plus v2.02 fix
22/08/06 7394 kB LZMA Neutrino.Dream Plus v2.01
30/06/06 7360 kB LZMA Neutrino.Dream Plus v2
Names from the development team in the ru we know is the development of the Russian team. This team is rudbox name of the paper, do not know why not correspond engima called T34, Katyusha, AK47 like ah. This Russian team DM500 series of IMG all named Neutrino. Its functionality is very good.
Prior to this I have the Chinese version, Gemini, PLi made a small three IMG contrast, we have been affirmed, then what do these three IMG contrast.
IMG set up functional skin ease-of-use threshold memory footprint Cam support quality standard logic support menu
Gemini general poor generally good general all good general good
PLI weak general good general poor more than the entire general good
Neutrino good general-poor poor low-general good
PLI is not mentioned here, only the Gemini and do a comparison of Neutrino
Comparative Functional
Neutrino directly in the menu listed a variety of functions, including television mode, broadcasting model, broadcast video, audio and other players. Very convenient. The relative Gemini in various menu to find their own relevant content.
Skin from the functional definition and ease of use, Gemini has not been done and the Neutrino skin generous concise, clear, personal brand new feeling.
From channel set up, Gemini has advantages, can be directly set up 22 k 13/18V, and Neutrino At this point very troublesome, if required to use 22 k Thunder 430 the same as re-installed after the changes the frequency of storage in satellites . Xml documents, such frequency parameters of the transponders document, it can not be shared with the Gemini.
But Gemini also have a tremendous problem is the channel set up the menu logic of chaos is not in line with the thinking habits permanent, and set up satellite End, set up non-standard ago, has again jumped out menu, come back, can be said to be a flaw. In contrast, Neutrino here very convenient. Be the first to set up the parameters of the various high-frequency, high frequency and then set up all the sequencing of the first, and then search directly on the roll, very much in line with the thinking habits.
From the threshold, in the alternative, I recommend the Chinese version of Gemini pointed out to face each other at the lower limits, the time of this test Neutrino found increased gain Obviously, in particular the Star watching 76.5 degrees, the average increase signal-to-noise than 10%.
From memory of the occupation, Geminin and Neutrino almost.
Support from Cam, Gemini, very strong and very well set up, can automatically download, a very good server support, which Neutrino poor more. Neutrino is the main support and Newcamd Mgcamd
There is no discovery to support CCcam, another download Camd also quite cumbersome. .
From a variety of standard TV programming, as well as the degree of support, as well as quality, Gemini on all technical standards support is very good, quality is relatively good. In this regard the use of a Neutrino support Pal standard is feeling very good, quality is also very clear, but not support the NTSC standard, the definition is poor, but look at the system with PAL NTSC standard programs, significantly enhance clarity, the screen from top to bottom there is a small black, and none of image compression, its effectiveness.
From an overall menu logic, Gemini is ok, and Neutrino very good.
From an overall point of view, if there is an IMG, the use of PLI or Neutrino aesthetic skin, using Gemini on the support of various Cam and download the convenience of using Gemini set up 22 k, and other aspects of the switch, using the logic clear Neutrino menu , using a variety of functional Neutrino used Gemini on the support of various formats, such IMG very perfect. IMG believe that this will soon realize.
