What is a TV source for a literacy sticker? What is a hard solution? Soft solution? ? ?

September 05, 2023

In various box and video software settings, you often see two words, one is the TV source "source 1, source 2, source 3.....". One is the decoder "hard solution" or "soft solution." Here is the explanation of the meaning of these two words to the novice who just bought the box.

TV source:

As the name suggests, it is the source of the program being broadcast, which is the provider of the program. There are CNTV, Gehua, LETV, Youku, Sohu, and some other sources. We watch live broadcasts or many TV stations or movie shows on the Internet that do not come from this software. But directly from these film source providers, they hold patent rights on these programs, just like the original one in the post and the one that is reproduced. Some live broadcast software simply integrates and optimizes these programs. A TV source is good or bad, first of all depends on whether it is smooth, then clarity, followed by synchronization and timeliness. The smoothest live broadcast, with the minimum time synchronization with TV live is CNTV. On CCTV live, the basic difference is less than 1 minute, but the resolution is not good. If we choose a program and network conditions permit, we will first choose the highest definition and smoothest TV source. Press the "Settings" on the remote control in the channel to select the program source. Inside active 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. The more program sources prove that the more selective the program, there may be high-definition, plain, smooth. Choose according to your own situation. If you feel the channel card is not clear when you change channels, you can select the source of the program to adjust. Especially some local satellite TV channels. High demands on the network, many friends can not see, this time you can choose to switch "source" to try, sometimes you will find a smooth HD source. When some Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and international channels have only one source, there is no alternative.

"hard solutions" and "soft solutions" in the decoder

Hard solution: hard solution is required to complete the special decoding chip in the machine, the quality is determined by the manufacturer's technical capabilities, some manufacturers have strong technical strength, compatibility and decoding effects do better, and some manufacturers have less technical strength, Compatibility and decoding effects do not do as well.

Soft solution: The soft solution is to use the CPU to decode, and it needs the CPU's performance and processing ability to be strong, but the compatibility of the streaming media format is better, because the soft solution library is developed by us and the quality we can control.

It is a good solution or a good solution: I think if you take the millet box to watch the live broadcast, then hard or soft solutions are not very different. The important thing is the quality of the program source. When watching live broadcasts, soft solutions are better than hard solutions. This is why sometimes a channel can get stuck when the decoder is hard to solve, and switching to a soft solution can solve the problem. If you are playing a local video, then the resolution of the hard solution is definitely better than the soft solution. Because the hard solution is to use a dedicated GPU video decoder chip to handle the local video. Of course, if you want to watch a live show without a card, you still have to choose a hard solution because the video can be optimized for playback quality through a dedicated video decoding chip.

Summarized in one sentence:

The hard solution has good resolution, high requirements for the network, good fluency of the software solution, and good support for streaming media. We have to choose according to different playback conditions and network requirements. The hard solution and the soft solution can be switched by pressing the remote control setting button in the program. When the menu is called up, the decoder option in the middle of the menu is displayed.

When we watch the live program card, we can first select the program source to adjust, and then we can adjust the decoder "hard solution" or "soft solution" to switch. Especially for some programs in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, there is only one source. It can only be optimized by adjusting the decoder.
