 Today we're going to be unboxing the second major product launch from Nixius. This is their Fusion XS, which is an update to their original network media player, and this one is an HD network media player. Well, okay, actually, hold on. The last one was HD2. This one watches movies, surfs the web, and supports full HD 1080p. So out of those three things, the most important differentiating factor is that this one has a web browser. Not only does it have a web browser, but it is also featuring Android 2.2 Froyo. So yes, it has support for any particular Android app you could want. I believe it comes preloaded with Facebook, YouTube, a number of other apps, and you have the flexibility to go ahead and install other apps that you should so desire. So to go along with the web browser, you can install other apps. What else does it have to say for itself? It features the Marvell Armada 1000 chipset, so it has a much more powerful chipset than the original Nixius media player. And running okay, the updated OS, we've kind of covered that already. There's an optional Wi-Fi adapter that you can get for it, and Android OS provides users with an open platform supporting apps, games, and an abundant amount of file formats. So yes, Nixius is allowing, basically in essence, allowing their device to be completely hacked, so to speak. So you can develop open source apps, or you can download open source apps for your media player and enjoy whatever it is that they do. So here we are. For the processor, we've got a 900 megahertz Marvell processor. We've got 512 megs of RAM with one gig of flash on board. This we've covered already. Audio output is HDMI 1.3, so no, we're not going to have 3D output, but I suspect most people aren't streaming 3D over their networks just yet anyway. Audio output is via HDMI. You can also do stereo audio output. You've got wired 10 hundred ethernet, and why don't we go ahead and get this baby opened up? So inside the box, we find a fairly simple, fairly eco-friendly package. So we've got a little bit of foam here, but other than that, they've gone with the cardboard approach. Oh, it's very small. This is actually one of the smaller network media players that I've seen. What that does tell me right away though is that it does not support an internal hard drive, but I do know that it supports an external hard drive. So if you want to plug in a hard drive via USB, that is an option for you. This is one of the more robust looking remotes that I've seen on one of these network media player boxes, although the price is a little bit higher than some of its competitors. It comes with a couple of AAA batteries, and we've got our forward and back, or up and down. This is most of our navigation. We've got our confirm button. We've got all of our numbers that we could want, and pretty much all the basics seem to be here. Not too bad actually, kind of slick. This looks like a breakout cable. Yeah, so it's a breakout from your standard headphone jackie looking cable to composite, just in case you have an older TV you want to use it with. Does come with a network cable, and finally it comes with a power adapter, which looks a little something like this. There you go. In terms of documentation, we've got our warranty information, which is probably a year, would be my guess. Oh, look at that. Two year warranty, with a two year warranty on the power supply as well. That's actually not bad at all. Normally, I would expect from a smaller company like Nixius, them to have a one year bare bones warranty, but they're going to back it up and support the product for a longer term route. Interesting. So here's a quick setup guide, which should be fairly straightforward if you've ever hooked up a network media player before. Just want to make sure that you have your network shares and you're accessing them using your network media player. Pretty self explanatory I think. Let's have a look at the unit itself. So it's fairly slick actually. It's got kind of a curved shape to the front. We'll let you see that from the side so you can get a better idea of how that looks. Yeah, there you go. You can see that. And then on the side, kind of the same deal. On the back, that's where all of the business is. So we've got an on off switch. There's AV, so that's that composite output. We've also got optical audio out and HDMI, including HDMI audio out. Two USB ports. That's actually nice to see, more than one USB port. We've got 10 hundred ethernet and our power in. On the bottom of the unit, you can see it's a metal construction here, so that should help with cooling a little bit. Although I'm guessing it runs pretty cool because there's not a whole lot of ventilation on it. There's gaps here and here, and then there's what appears to be sort of a passive intake right here. For rubber feet, keep it from slipping around once you put it on its table. And I want you guys to stay tuned on not this channel, but my NCIXcom channel, because we're actually going to be taking a look. This is the first Android network media player that I've seen, so we're going to check out how that looks in a real world scenario. So thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Nixious Fusion XS.
