THE DUO 4K EXTERIOR

The body of the Duo 4k is made primarily out of metal and measures 437mm in length, 300mm in width and 67mm in height (without the WiFi Antennas mounted).

Some of the features and supported formats are showcased at the top of the chassis.

The fascia of the player is made out of plastic and has an VFW screen at the center right over its media navigation buttons.

The SD card slot is placed on the right of the fascia right next to one of the three USB 2.0 ports.

Both sides of the player are perforated to allow hot air to exit the interior.

Almost all of the connectors are located at the rear of the player so from left to right we see the two DVB-T Antenna ports, WiFi Antenna mount, XLR balanced stereo connectors, RCA stereo connectors, S/PDIF coaxial audio input, USB host port, HDMI v1.4 port, S/PDIF coaxial and optical audio outputs, composite video output, RJ45 Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, IR extender port, WiFi Antenna mount, AC in and an hardware on/off switch (the device also features an removable fuse right next to the AC in).

Here we decided to compare the old Max media player with the Duo 4k and as you can see the chassis used in both is identical. Their main external differences are the two 3.5" drive racks (the Max has a single 3.5" drive rack and a Blu-Ray player) and the different variety in available connectors.
