The appearance of such The device looks quite logical. The trend is that, as a rule, every member of the family in the presence of a smartphone or even a tablet. With the advent of affordable Internet it is possible to draw most of the information without the help of the TV. Not surprisingly, one of the first such decision issued company AverMedia – a very significant player in the market of TV tuners. Last year we had the honor to test hybrid tuner AverTV Hybrid Volar T2, equipped with a full USB interface and is designed to work with a laptop. Now it’s time to get acquainted with a device designed for tablets and smartphones.

How do you turn a smartphone or tablet TV

It’s safe to say that the DVB-T2 as a federal standard in the Russian Federation has finally support a large fleet of electronic devices. Almost all modern TVs are able to work with this standard. In turn, the Taiwanese from AverMedia among the first to equip their TV tuners support DVB-T2.

Technical characteristics and device

The device is designed for smartphones and tablets to Android. This compatibility is due to the presence of connector Micro-USB – standard port for most gadgets on this operating system – and special software. The official website of the manufacturer, you can see the list of devices, consisting of only thirteen models. However, in practice, with the AVerTV Mobile 510 is compatible set of smartphones and tablets, not included in this list. So, with the tuner without any problems and dancing with a tambourine and earned SONY XPERIA Z1 Compact, and Google Nexus 5. However, in my opinion, before buying not hurt yourself to make sure that AVerTV Mobile 510 is fully compatible with your smartphone / tablet.

Note that some models are complemented by MCX-IEC adapter to connect the antenna. The device requires no additional power supply. In my opinion, a manufacturer could put in place with the tuner Case / carrying case. Still, the main feature AVerTV Mobile 510 – is to use the tuner in nature or on a trip. That is where there may be problems with the internet.

 & # x41A; & # x43E; & # x43C; & # x43F; & # x43B; & # x435; & # x43A; & # x442; & # x43F; & # x43E; & # x441; & # x442; & # x430; & # x432; & # x43A; & # x438; AverMedia AVerTV Mobile 510
Package AverMedia AVerTV Mobile 510

the player itself has a very tiny size. Compact thing! Less than a matchbox. Weight of the main unit is only 7.5 grams. However, in the assembled state with a dipole antenna design will still get enough bulky and clumsy.

As you know, the tuner is connected to the smartphone / tablet only through connector micro-USB. No additional fasteners are not provided. Looks a connecting element is fragile. So it is necessary to be extremely careful when using AVerTV Mobile 510. Through USB-hub tuner functions. However, on the Web, there is evidence that, while connected to the hub, for example, the keyboard or the power may fail in the smartphone / tablet.

One more thing. It is obvious that when you view channels on your smartphone / tablet itself smartphone / tablet will be fast enough to discharge. At the same time design AVerTV Mobile 510 does not provide for the installation of wire from the charger. Or charged or look.

Features Tuner small. However, this is not surprising, because we are dealing with a portable device. As I said before, AVerTV Mobile 510 supports standards DVB-T and DVB-T2 (MPEG2 and H.264). There is support for HDTV and EPG EPG. In addition, the device allows you to select audio track and subtitle.

The tuner has two scenario. Thus, the device can be connected to the dipole telescopic antenna. And it, in turn, can attach the suction cup or by means or by means of pegs. The second telescopic antenna is connected directly to the tuner.

Software and impressions of Use

To work AVerTV Mobile 510 smartphone / tablet, you must install the utility AVerTV Mobile II. It is available at the link above, although it is very easy to find in the «Play Market” on request avermedia. As you can see, according to statistics Goggle, then at the time of testing the owners of this tuner were about a thousand people. Average rating app – 3.6. At the time of testing was considered the last version of the utility and driver version 1.1.283 numbered 0.2.13.

Working with AVerTV Mobile 510 does not require boring “smoking” manual. We simply install on your smartphone / tablet software, run the program and connect the device. Once the tuner is defined, the application will prompt further each time automatically launch itself on subsequent connections AVerTV Mobile 510. Then, it is only necessary to select the region to carry out the appropriate use and scanning.

Testing AVerTV Mobile 510 was made in the apartment prefabricated house located on the sixth floor. With compact telescopic antenna connected directly to the tuner, a list of available channels, alas, failed. No signal was caught. So this use case will be relevant only in nature, and even then with some reservations. But with the help of a dipole antenna connected to the smartphone AVerTV Mobile 510 in a couple of minutes once found 23 channels including Euronews and “NTV + Our Football”. However, in the channel list were found three radio stations, as well as seven other channels that do not have any markings, therefore undetectable in the EPG.

The program menu consists of four tabs: “Play”, “Videos “,” EPG “and” Settings “. In the first tab located directly Point of television and radio stations.

 & # x420; & # x430; & # x431; & # x43E; & # x442; & # x430; & # x441; AVerTV Mobile II, & # x441; & # x43F ; & # x438; & # x441; & # x43E; & # x43A; & # x43A; & # x430; & # x43D; & # x430; & # x43B; & # x43E; & # x432;
Work with AVerTV Mobile II, the channel list

The program allows you to record video. All recorded videos are displayed in the tab “Videos.” Of the functions are only available to view and delete. The files themselves are written to the directory AVerTV / rec format Transport Stream.

The third tab is the electronic program guide. Here shown schedule, as well as the user is allowed to move immediately to view the selected program. In the pop-up window displays a summary of the transfer. In my opinion, AVerTV Mobile II is clearly not enough to support features such as TimeShift, and schedule recording options and alert the user at the start of the pre-selected TV program.

Preferences are not very many. In fact, they are reduced to sort the TV channels and radio stations, as well as the activation function to re-scan.

Work with AVerTV Mobile II, setting

Just when viewing we can change the aspect ratio (4: 3 or 16: 9) and sound, as well as to include / disable recording and display a list of available channels. Key designed as a gear, allows you to choose subtitles, video decoder (hardware or software) and a sound track.

During the hour when viewing software decoding spent about 35% battery Nexus 5.

As you know, the image quality when using DVB-T2 is directly dependent on the provider. In addition, it can vary in the range of lower resolutions to HD, which just supports AVerTV Mobile 510. Unfortunately, currently available only in the channels as standard.

However, the image quality achieved through the use of mobile tuner, can be described as good. 5-inch smartphone screen picture is quite watchable. In general, the application works pretty fast. If you are using a dipole antenna switching between channels takes on the force for 3-4 seconds.

Here are the screenshots to assess the quality of the image. The apartment where the testing occurred, AVerTV Mobile II defined as the average signal power.

AVerTV Mobile 510 can also act as a radio.
