About Taixin Company, through the Internet to find out the general situation: Thai letter company was founded in 1995, is a radio and television technology company that is transforming to the Internet. In the 20 years since its establishment, the company has witnessed and participated in the entire development of broadcasting and television from analog to digital and the integration of digital television and the Internet. Has been involved in analog television, digital TV set-top box terminals and front-end equipment R & D, production and sales. Since 2005, it has been transformed into an end-to-end solution provider for broadcast and television; since the beginning of the digitalization of television, the properties of the television network and communication network have begun to coincide. Therefore, the development history of the digital television industry is essentially a process of convergence from the perspective of radio and television to the convergence of the three networks. The essence of this process is the integration of broadcast terminals and Internet terminals (traditional computers, smart TVs, tablets, and mobile phones). The key to integration is to implement CA download in the broadcasting industry. Since 2010, it has responded to the national triple play policy by launching the DTVOS, which is based on the download of CA's R&D system, and the development of integrated TV terminal technology to help integrate traditional broadcast TV into the Internet. Since 2013, it has released six products including X1, X2, T1, T2, T5, and T6. Each product supports DVB+ Internet TV, which enables seamless integration of live broadcast and on-demand broadcast. I purchased the latest 4K box T6, and then shared with you the machine experience.

1.T6 is that the intranet share needs to keep the host on for 24 hours. It is recommended that the system be added with regular power-on and power-off functions, and that the host can be in the standby state when not watching TV at night;
2. At present, T6 can directly use the card for the unbound area of ​​the card. For the binding area, you can also rent the unbundling device and use it after unbinding the card. Looking forward to the subsequent development of software unbundling functions for the card binding area without the need for hardware unbundling;

DO-35 Diode

Two - way trigger diode, also known as two - end ac device (DIAC), and two - way thyristor at the same time.Because of its simple structure and low price, it is often used to trigger the bidirectional thyristor, and can also constitute overvoltage protection circuits.Construction, symbol and equivalent circuit of a bidirectional trigger diode.

Also commonly used in the overvoltage protection, timing, shift equal circuit, Figure 2 is the overvoltage protection circuit composed of bidirectional trigger diode and bidirectional thyristor.When the transient voltage exceeds the DIAC and Ubo, the DIAC quickly conducts and triggers the bidirectional thyristor to also conduct, so that the following load is protected from overvoltage damage.
