hi dave taylor here again and this time
0:05
i want to talk to you about
0:06
hdmi actually i want to talk about tvs
0:09
so
0:10
here's the modern reality the modern
0:12
situation is that if you're like me
0:14
you have a lot of different devices that
0:16
you're plugging into your audio visual
0:18
system
0:19
i have what a kindle fire i have an
0:22
apple tv
0:23
i have a chromecast i have a western
0:25
digital video streaming system
0:27
i have a comcast cable box and i have a
0:30
blu-ray player
0:31
that's a lot of devices and my tv
0:34
doesn't have that many hdmi inputs
0:36
which leaves me with a dilemma which is
0:38
why
0:39
the dvd-o quick six turns out to be
0:41
really cool
0:42
it has six hdmi input four of which are
0:45
4k
0:47
and it has two outputs i could actually
0:48
have two screens going simultaneously in
0:51
case i wanted to open a bar or something
0:54
no i'm not opening a bar so don't panic
0:56
and has
0:57
lots of really neat things with
0:59
picture-in-picture and previews and all
1:01
sorts of stuff
1:02
let me spin the camera around and i'll
1:04
show you it from the front
1:05
and as you can see here it's a low-key
1:09
system and you can operate it on its
1:12
most basic level
1:13
from the box but of course the remote
1:16
works better
1:17
and i'll show you the back as best i can
1:20
because i really don't want to unplug
1:21
everything
1:22
as you can see there's lots of stuff
1:24
plugged in as i said there's six
1:26
hdmi inputs four of them are 300
1:29
megahertz 4k
1:31
ultra inputs two hdmi out
1:34
and it also supports something called
1:36
mhl which is really cool
1:38
because this is a feature that are in
1:40
the most recent smartphones and tablets
1:42
which let them output directly 1080p
1:46
which then you can watch on your tv so
1:48
that's really cool
1:49
now let's switch to i'll show you what's
1:51
on the screen
1:52
so you can see that part too
1:56
now what you're seeing here is i am
1:59
looking at my comcast
2:00
channel guide i don't want to get any
2:02
issues with showing video that i don't
2:04
have rights to
2:05
and i'm going to push the button on the
2:07
remote
2:09
called insta preview and now on the left
2:12
side you'll see
2:13
little boxes and those are from all the
2:15
other inputs that the system is seeing
2:16
at that moment
2:18
and i can go up and down and down and
2:22
as you see each one pops out
2:25
when i want to choose that one all i
2:27
have to do is select it
2:29
and there we go so it switched the video
2:32
input which is really nice
2:34
the other thing you can do is you can
2:36
also work with picture-in-picture
2:38
so again let me switch back to my
2:41
comcast my cable tv
2:42
input okay and then
2:46
on the right i'm gonna push the pip
2:48
button on the remote and that's actually
2:51
what's coming off of my dvd player so
2:54
you can see i'm poised to watch some
2:55
doctor who
2:57
and i can push the swap button and then
3:00
it'll actually
3:01
open up what was in the small picture as
3:03
the main frame
3:05
so yeah lots of cool features and you
3:08
know
3:08
it's it's not cheap it's really part of
3:10
a high-end audio visual system it's a
3:13
499 dollar unit but if you have a lot of
3:16
inputs and you're really tired of these
3:18
dopey little switch boxes that take like
3:21
10
3:21
15 seconds to resolve and such then
3:24
you might really want to check out the
3:26
dvdo quick six
3:28
and i'm saying that this is definitely a
3:31
really great addition to our audio
3:32
visual system
3:33
this is dave taylor and i think i need
3:35
to get back to doctor who so
3:37
i'll catch you in the next video
