Specifications

Cooling is done by an internal fan as with the 4100 series, it is
small and… “not noiseless” but options are provided to set the
fan speed to your preferred levels. The fan is more silent than
on the previous series though in my humble (bad trained ear
kind of way) opinion.
The Comparison.
Many will compare the unit to the previous 4100/5100 models.
But the fact is the units are a lot different under the hood.
Ultimately they will eventually target delivering the same
service, playback of High Definition media along with the usual
standard definition video, music and picture formats. Listed
below are the main differences in hardware:
Beside these hardware changes, also the software is of a
different caliber with full Linux OS on board against uClinux on
the previous series. All that should deliver more flexible
features, fast start times and better handling of video with the
integrated MMU (Memory Management Unit).
The Setup of TViX M-6500A
At first powering on the unit will lead to the language selection
and the TViX will then switch between PAL and NTSC mode for
you to accept its default settings. Once this is done, the
journey starts with exploring the available options.
The setup menu is divided into four tabulated categories and
whilst browsing these we noticed that DviCo has changed the
interface resolution into 720p/1080i mode as things are rather
small on my PC where we create the screenshots in normal
resolution (SD).
AV Settings
Audio can be set at Digital or Analogue as a general setting.
You can set several more options like DTS, WMA Audio and
AAC Audio. This prevents you from constantly changing
between analog and digital if either of these formats is not
supported by your receiver.
New is the “Luminance” mode where you can select between
the usual 0-255 (PC Black White levels), 16 – 234 (Video Black
White levels) and an Auto Mode where the TVIX will be
following up on information that the display provides to TViX
through HDMI
The usual TV Standards are PAL and NTSC
and the auto switch will enable the player to
detect the movie source if enabled. This can
be set to OFF, PAL/NTSC or PAL/NTSC/24Hz.
TV Type includes 4:3 letterbox and widescreen
only. The 4:3 Pan & Scan is unavailable and
grayed out. Next is the Video Port selection
between Composite / S-Video, Component /
DVI and HDMI. Enabling any of the HD
capable outputs will reveal the resolution options (for all) and
the „Video Out Color‟ for Component which is new (and I have
no idea what it‟s for  ).
You can enable auto HDMI or select the resolution from a list.
In DVI mode, resolutions as 640*480, 800*600 and more of
the usual PC resolutions become available.
Misc Settings
Second part of the setup is mainly for personal preference
settings like a slideshow timer, Fan Speed Control, Language
selection and several more options.
One important option here is the timer and it‟s strange DViCo
has not opted for syncing the time online with a NTP server as
