China Mobile launches discerning eye set-top box: camera + dual microphone, 4K decoding

CTOnews.com, August 9 (Xinhua)-- China Mobile recently unveiled a "discerning set-top box" that adds a camera and microphone to the traditional set-top box, which can be hung next to the TV for video calls.

As can be seen from the official promotional map, the set-top box is equipped with voice assistants to support video calls, entertainment, cinema and other functions.

In terms of specific hardware, China Mobile posted an internal picture, but the parameters are not detailed. The discerning eye set-top box is equipped with 4-core 1.8GHz processor, 4K decoding, 2GB + 32GB storage, 2K wide-angle lens in front, AI intelligent detection, and speaker + dual microphone array.

The set-top box runs the "self-developed HOSS system". Interested CTOnews.com partners can go to China Mobile offline stores for consultation.
