Features

DVD/Blu-ray drive. Drive for reading optical discs. This feature is typical mainly for desktop set-top boxes (see "Form factor"); they at least support DVD, but many models are capable of working with Blu-ray. However, there are also portable consoles that support optical discs — full-size DVD / Blu-ray are too bulky for them, so specific formats are usually used in such cases (such as UMD in some PlayStation Portable models). Discs are most often used as media for games, although some models may also provide the ability to play audio and video (that is, in fact, use the set-top box as a media centre).

HDR support. The ability to output a desktop video signal with the so-called extended dynamic range. In such an image, firstly, the colour depth increases (in other words, more different shades are displayed), and secondly, the contrast is enhanced — light areas look brighter, and dark areas look darker. This improves colour quality, makes the image more realistic and enhances the impression of depth, the picture is perceived as less flat. However you need to keep in mind that to fully use this function, you will also need a TV or other HDR-enabled screen — otherwise, all the advantages of this technology will be nullified by the limitations in the functionality of the screen itself. Also note that HDR technology has several formats (for example, HDR10 and HDR Dolby Vision), and not all of them ar...e compatible with each other. Therefore, to use this feature, you should make sure that the set-top box and TV are compatible with HDR standards.

UltraHD (4K) support. The ability to work set-top box with the image standard 4K. The standard resolution of such an image is 3840x2160, which is 4 times higher than Full HD in terms of the number of pixels. This feature is mainly found in set-top boxes and allows you to output 4K video to a TV or other external device. Thus, you can get a very high quality, detailed image. However, note that in order to fully view such an image, it must be supported not only by the console, but also by the screen to which it is connected — otherwise all the advantages of ultra-high resolution will be nullified. Also note that not all modern games and other content are available in 4K (although, of course, nothing prevents you from playing videos of lower resolutions on the set-top box).

— Support for video services. Ability to work set-top boxes with various network video services. Usually, pre-installed client programs are responsible for this function, which makes it easy to search and play various content on the Internet. Among the video services supported by modern set-top boxes, there are, in particular, YouTube (the most famous and largest network video site), Netflix (one of the largest producers of TV series distributed over the Internet), Amazon Video (provider of TV series and films on demand) and others. . Note that access to content may be paid and have regional restrictions.

dVD/Blu-ray drive

The presence in the design of the prefix drive for reading optical discs. Note that the name DVD/Blu-ray in this case is arbitrary, because. the list of disk types used in modern consoles is not limited to these formats. So, almost all such drives of desktop consoles are capable of working from CD (however, only special "branded" discs can be supported), and portable versions of the PlayStation (see "Platform") use UMD format discs that are small in size. Therefore, before buying, it is worth clarifying exactly which formats the selected console supports — especially if you buy a set-top box already having a certain collection of games on disks.
