The right side is all stealthy nothing is to be found here, but at the left side that's different alright.
As you can see here we have a USB port (2.0), an SDHC for cards up-to 32GB and the little button powers the device on or off if you dislike the remote for a minute.
At the rear we see decent enough connectivity, the power connector, RCA stereo output, HDMI (1.3) output, a fully fledged Gigabit Ethernet connector which we find to be a nice touch. Next to that the USB 2.0 host port and all the way to your right an optical output. Everything HTPC like is covered alright.
Once we open up the box we'll see a small PCB with a system memory RAM IC 512MB, a NAND storage flash IC (4GB), to your right you can see a Wireless-N (802.11 b/g/n) module. Underneath that small heat sink is a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 with Floating Point Unit tucked away.
No fans so this unit is completely silent.
AC Ryan Veolo Review
The market is continuously changing, the biggest trend last year where tablets, Android entered the market and that certainly changed the balance of smart phones. The concept proofs that you can do a lot of stuff with very little hardware, yet it remains intuitive. With that concept in mind AC Ryan started developing a new media hub slash player, in fact I shouldn't call it a media-player really as it is much more then that. The end product is called the Veolo. The Veolo is AC Ryan's version of a media 'HUB' powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo).
AC Ryan PlayOn!HD 2 1TB review
The interesting thing about the PlayOnHD series 2 media-players is that they come standard with the new and very much improved GUI but also hardware wise harbor the latest Realtek 1185 chipset, and that changes a thing or two as the performance issues we had noticed in 1080P content playback (with very high bit-rate) are now a thing of the past. That Realtek 1185 chipset has an increased clock frequency, 500 MHz coming from 400 MHz on the original version. And it makes all the difference. Meanwhile AC Ryan started to further improve on the PlayOn!HD 2 as you'll spot a USB 3.0 slave port which you can use to quickly play back from or transfer files.
AC Ryan PlayOn!HD 1TB and Mini review
Today we test the Playon!HD 1TB and Playon!HD Mini with new updated firmware, both products are media streamers, they can sniff your network for photo's, music, but most of all these little kits are specialized high-definition content playback up-to 1080P, and that's where stuff gets interesting.
