THE A5

Egreat has packed a full sized remote with the A5 which can also be used as a mouse by pressing the button with the mouse drawing (next to the ok button).

The A5 is a medium sized media player made out of brushed aluminum (top and sides) and plastic (base). To be more precise the A5 measures 188mm in length, 159mm in depth (antenna included) and 33mm in height (178mm with the antenna facing up).

Last time we had a 4k compatible media player here it was the 4k solo by Dune HD which as you can see is much smaller (it lacks however the many interfaces offered by the A5 although it does have a DVB-T receiver inside).

At the front we see a long VFW screen and the power on/off button (also made out of brushed aluminum).

The Egreat logo is engraved at the top brushed aluminum plate.

A micro SD card slot is placed on the right side right next to a USB 3.0 port and a USB 2.0 port.

On the left side we see a SATA power and data connector and another USB 2.0 port.

Every other connector is placed at the rear so here we have the S/PDIF optical output, coaxial audio output, composite video output, RCA stereo output, HDMI v2.0a output, RJ45 gigabit port, reset button, DC in and a high-gain WiFi antenna.

The A5 sits ontop of 4 round rubber feet.

Once you turn the A5 on the Egreat logo will light up as seen above.
