Mediaplayer 4K Cloud Media Popcorn Hour A-500 PRO: il leader ha ripreso il suo posto!

[adslinkato]

Si è sempre saputo che sarebbe stato così.

L'unica questione è che come finanziatore e quindi in un certo senso azionista effettivo di Cloud Media e della fase progettuale del suo futuro A-500 (non Pro), mi sarei aspettato un rigoroso rispetto dei tempi previsti.

Invece ci hanno fatto pagare il biglietto di ingresso per uno spettacolo in cartellone con l'abete natalizio; siamo giunti all'agnello pasquale, ma mi sembra che ci sia ancora poco di concreto...

Ecco l'update!

Io sono in attesa del pro per la sua uscita audio, sapete per caso qual'è il limite di giga dell'HD installabile?

Giga?
Ormai si parla di Terabyte (1024 GB)...
Si sa che è stato testato con HDD da 4 TB (ma il suo predecessore, il 400/410 porta dischi fino a 6TB per cui immagino...)

[Rockin_al]

E si, intendevo tera , nel mio 410 ne ho 3 e nel pro ce ne metterei 6.......quindi non credo ci sian problemi! grazie

Con oggi sono passati esattamente 9 mesi dal momento in cui è stata aperta la sottoscrizione del crowfunding e dall'apertura di questa discussione. Possiamo quindi ufficialmente affermare che il "bimbo" è decisamente ritardatario!

[asterisco]

Ormai dovrebbe essere questioni di giorni? Quali sono gli ultimi rumors sull uscita di questo apparecchio?

[adslinkato]

Mistero fitto...
Hanno parlato di metà giugno, ma "se" dovessero anticipare i tempi ce lo faranno sapere...

Update #15

Jun 10 2016



Hi there!
We are here to bring you another update. We are now entering into an exciting phase and so grateful have your support all the way. Here're the FCC, CE, ROHS Certifications for the Popcorn Hour A-500 PRO! We made it!







When you see all these things, you know that it's near. It's been crazy months for us in running over two labs for the EMI and analog audio performance test verification with newly modified PCB layout. And YES, high quality components for analog audio that we have been waiting for have arrived safe and sound.
Sorry for the lapse in communication because we have been so busy testing on the EMI to ensure it complies with its standard as the A-500 PRO failed the EMI testing earlier. It was indeed a devil of a job! Well, the good news is we finally got over the hump without having to sacrifice the audio performance. We have re-layout the PCB with good audio performance and we have passed the EMi test (you can see it from the FCC certification as attached).
The Popcorn Hour A-500 PRO has currently been sent for production. It is assumed that six to seven weeks from now are needed before its shipment. As China is having their holiday now due to the Dragon Boat Festival, we can only update you on a more precise shipment date once we have got confirmation from them on next week.
Meanwhile, we are keeping improving the NMJ firmware as you can see we have just released the A-500 Beta 3 Firmware with many improvements, http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=73478. All improvements will be incorporated to the A-500 PRO as well.
We truly understand your frustration as an eager and excited consumer. We do sincerely apologize for these delays, but do understand we never intended for the manufacturing process to take this long. Now that we have perfected the manufacturing process, the A-500 PRO will be made much faster but with the quality that we have promised. We believe that it's better safe than sorry. Please know that we do read all of the comments and emails, even the negative ones. But, we also know the majority of out consumers have been extremely supportive and it means the world to us. We appreciate all of the kind emails and words of encouragement. We appreciate that you have not given up.
Again, thank you for still believing in us and please have a happy and lovely summer .

Con queste ultime parole mi sembra di capire che siamo stati rimandati a settembre, vale a dire che riceveremo ad un anno data dalla sottoscrizione!!!

Altri 2 mesi???

Un anno è davvero troppo.... poi magari capita pure che dopo altri 6 mesi,
ci spacciano un 510 o 600 con qualche upgrade...

[adslinkato]

Concordo!
Siamo alla farsa!
Davvero vergognoso!

Spero il risultato sia impeccabile o il linciaggio mediante lancio di VHS è vicino...

Io sono molto attirato dalle potenziali capacita' "audiophile" di questo prodotto. Spero che quanto promettono sara' mantenuto.
