The Kaiboer H1055 is the perfect player for anyone wanting the most advanced Media Player features at low cost. It uses the latest Realtek 1055 chipset to deliver a complete feature-set, power, and a user friendly interface at an extremely reasonable price.
The Realtek 1055 chipset used in the H1055 was released in November 2010, and we are the first retailer in Europe to sell a player based on it. The previous Realtek chipset generation powered many popular players including Xtreamer, Asus O!Play, ACRyan Play!On, and Mede8er. The new 1055 chip in the Kaiboer H1055 is more powerful (500Mhz vs 400Mhz) and uses a new and vastly improved user interface.
The Realtek SDK4, 'Casablanca' user interface is used and it is a world away from the simplistic look of the 1073 generation. Whereas Media Player users spent 2009/10 struggling with Windows 3.1 style file lists, the interface on the H1055 finally brings Media Players into the modern age. We have seen several incarnations of Realtek SDK4 and the Kaiboer version is by far the best looking. The colour scheme is simple but attractive, making the Kaiboer H1055 a joy to use.
Many western brands will launch Media Players based on the 1055 chipset in 2011, all with the same basic features and interface. We are willing to bet that none will match the aesthetically beautiful Kaiboer implementation of the Realtek SDK4 GUI.
File format support for the Realtek based players has always been extremely comprehensive and the same is true here. There are no big format omissions meaning the H1055 should play any piece of video, photo, or music you throw at it. DVD ISOs are supported with full menus and BD ISOs are supported with a custom menu (BD-Lite). Performance is slightly better than for the 1073 based players, with our test MKV maxing out at about 55Mbit/s.
Picture quality is always subjective but we immediately noticed an improvement in strength of colour and depth of black compared to other players we use regularly. SD material is upscaled effectively with optional digital noise reduction doing a great job in cleaning up low quality DivX / Xvid.
File format support:
•Video: RM/RMVB, MPEG1/2/4 Elementary (M1V, M2V, M4V), MPEG1/2 PS (M2P, MPG), MPEG2 Transport Stream (TS, TP, TRP, M2T, M2TS, MTS), VOB, AVI, ASF, WMV, Matroska (MKV), MOV (H.264), MP4, RMP4, IFO

HD Audio (DTS, AC3 Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA) is fully supported for downmix with full support for RAW / LCPM passthrough for all formats except DTS-HD MA (this is coming soon in a firmware upgrade).
The biggest difference between this player and the previous generation is that the H1055 scans all your media to a central database. This make it possible to search for movies by name, sort by the most recently added, or sort by the most recently played. Your results can then be browsed by cover-art thumbnail or the traditional list. Browsing through large file lists is made easier by intelligent scrolling that speeds up the longer you hold the direction button.
The music browsing experience is, similarly, light years away from the previous player generation. The H1055 has an index of all your music, so you can search for a text string, browse by artist, browse by album, browse by year, or browse by genre. All based on ID3 tags. Cover art is supported for music folders.
The search facility for either music or video is comprehensive and fast. All our testing was done on a drive with 14,000 pieces of music and 300 videos. Searches never took longer than a couple of seconds. The last seven searches are saved for easy repeat searching.
The overall experience is more similar to using Windows Media Player or iTunes on a PC/Mac. Unlike on many players (including all previous generation Realteks) you can browse folders or access the menus whilst music plays in the background. Resume play for video is supported.
Fast forward / rewind is up to 32x (in 6 increments). Slow motion is down to 1/16 (in 5 increments). Video can be zoomed and panned upn to 8x magnification. The movement between zoom levels or slow-mo speeds is ominously smooth. It is very impressive. Goto time is supported and skip forward/back 30 seconds with one button is also there.
A comprehensive file manager is built into the player so copying, renaming, and moving files can be done from the player itself. If you prefer the old style file list navigation then the file manager lets you launch media the traditional way with optional cover art thumbnails. M3U playlists can be edited within the player using a slick interface. Subtitle options are much improved and options are configurable on the fly by user friendly menu.
Kaiboer are a well established manufacturer and have produced many highly regarded Media Players over the past few years. They sell retail products under their own name in China and are one of the most popular brands. They are known for providing high quality hardware and good support for their products.
The unit itself has an aluminium top section, a matt black plastic bottom, and a clear glass effect front panel. It feels solid. The front panel looks attractive and the power on/off LED glows in a pleasing matt-effect from blue to red. You get a full range of AV outputs including HDMI / Component / Composite for video, and HDMI / AV stereo / Coaxial S/PDIF for audio. Two USB ports are side mounted for easy access alongside an SD card port. All ports are recessed for protection and are well engineered with all edges having a smooth matt black finish. There is a power switch on the back.
The SD card port makes this player ideal for viewing content from a digital camera or camcorder. Just take the SD card out of the camera, pop it in the H1055 and you are away. The remote is full sized, chunky, and finished in the same matt black as the player. It has good range and, like the rest of the player, it exudes quality.
