SYVIO 200 HDMI Network Media Tank

We know, we know, many people have been asking us for this, and finally I have the luxury of time to post this review, courtesy of MugenTech =)

Lets see the box and contents:


Contents as shown above, with mounting plates for HDD as well to fit in the NMT.


The Remote Control is definitely a good make, with a matt rubbery bottom which prevents scratches. It has a nice feel and firm grip as opposed to most plastic remote controls for players.

The built of the Syvio 200 is high quality aluminum case, which is great for dissipating heat if you have a SATA(only) HDD installed. While it is not stated exactly what maximum size is supported, here we have a 1.0TB, 1000000mb WD Black on it:


No problem reading the hard disk. It has also been test formatted for the NMT which will unlock a whole new range of functions like myiHome, FTP server, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Bittorrent downloader. Note that to do so, the NMT will have to format your HDD!


This NMT uses Sigma Designs(SMP8635) processor chip which needs no introduction, supporting MPEG-4 (H.264), WMV and MPEG-2 decoding. It is one of the latest used in NMTs available in the market.


Browser Selections: Videos,Music,Pictures,Files


Cool Blue LEDs light up when connected: Power/Pause/Internet/USB/HDD

Best part of the SYVIO 200: MSP (Media Service Portal)




Internet is Plug'n'Play on this player. Just set it to automatic IP and it works out of the box. For those who might have problems with going online, you would have to set the manual IP config and DNS from your service provider.

SYVIO 200 currently offers a whopping 41 types of broadcasting channels, with Youtube being the first! While we do not have the luxury to test out all of them, Youtube is a must =)


You can also look at favourites,top rated and make your own search for videos!


Dattebayo is dropping Naruto this coming January, hopefully the originals are as good.


Some random video, talking about resume.

Playblack is smooth, but subject to your internet connection speed. If you have no problems viewing Youtube on your PC, there should not be any on this NMT.

Harddisk / USB Drive playing back most video files have been a pleasant experience. There was no loss in framerates, nor lagging. You can fast forward up to 8x. Not enough? By pressing the right button on the player, you can jump the time much faster, except you cant see the moving frames.
However, there is one problem at the time of review: some H.264 videos get their audio off-synced after fast forwarding. Other videos have no problems.

Future firmware updates will surely resolve this problem, which brings us to this picture:

MugenTech will definitely help in upgrading firmware should you encounter any problems. While you can easily do it online by accessing their "Maintenance" Menu, offline may be a little troublesome for non-techies.

There will be more functions to come in the future, while the engineers work hard to release more efficient firmwares. Full specs are here.

Last but not least, let us end our review with Rihanna live on SYVIO 200, Youtube! Ella..ella..ella..eh..eh..eh..

Video Codec: H.264
Output: HDMI 1080p

SYVIO HDMI 5 Ports Deluxe Switch

Our first batch of the Deluxe SYVIO HDMI 5 Ports Switch have arrived! On the whole, we are very satisfied with it. It looks good, works well, small and sleek, the best addon for your HDMI luxury, yet at a very affordable price!



Very nice retail box, magnetic hard cover . Comes with AC Adapter, Sleek Remote, Manual,Switch


We were pleased with how sturdy the packaging was, hard magnetic box cover instead of the usual cardboard type. Perfect gift for the techies! Internals were well packed too, and there's our
baby :)



Look at how small it is, fitting nicely on a regular palm!




The switch is light yet sturdy. The HDMI ports are snugly fitted on for a firm contact.
The HDMI ports are also gold plated for maximum signal transfer!
Operating it is very simple; it has SMART Switching which automatically switches to the selected port when the respective device is switched on.
Otherwise, you can always select the channel using the small remote control, or simply push the "Switch" button on the hardware to cycle through.
LED displays are very easy to tell; Blue is the selected input in use, and Red are those not in use.

Heat is not an issue at all, if your asking. After switching it on for 8 hours straight, it just feels fairly warm to the touch.

Display is straightforward: Whatever your device and source can display, this neat piece of new technology can do it too! No worries whatsoever about the clarity, signal transfer, because you can be assured by looking at the specs here.

Well, thats all we have to say about this sleek and elegant HDMI luxury item you don't have to burn a hole in your pocket for!
