Hello everyone, this is Cherry, who loves tossing, picking up garbage, playing digital, and is keen to share NAS and docker play experience~
Preface
Recently, singer 2024 has become popular, and the news of publicity and tap water is overwhelming, such as the 50-year-old lady guarding the country, the adventures of Yehenara Ying, the celebrity shaker list and other new stalks are emerging in an endless stream, and even a branch of our QNAP has also said that it wants to invite singers to fight in 2024!
Add a caption of 140 words or less (optional)
So, Cherry really seriously thought about whether QNAP could invite singers to 2024, hahahahaha.
Having said that, although QNAP cannot join the "Singer 2024" program as a human singer, the powerful application support and data storage technology behind it can provide a good entertainment environment for singers, program teams, and ordinary people, help us better manage music resources, help us improve our music appreciation, and even allow us to sing songs anytime and anywhere.
Taking the Cherry QNAP TS-464C2 as an example, in terms of hardware performance and interface expansion, the TS-464C2 is almost full of materials, the classic and cost-effective N5095 cpu, 4 cores and 4 threads, and 16G DDR4 memory, which can easily run more than a dozen kits and containers without lag.
In terms of core storage, the QNAP TS-464C2 provides up to four 3.5-inch HDDs (compatibility with 22T HDDs) and two M.2 NVME expansions, which can achieve high-speed cache + large-capacity storage through the good combination of mechanical + solid-state, which can not only store massive media resources, but also realize fast reading and utilization of small files. The TS-464C2 also achieves full marks in terms of LAN performance, because the built-in dual 2.5G network cards make SMB multi-channel aggregation possible, breaking through the maximum transmission rate and greatly ensuring the sharing rate of massive media resources in the intranet.
QNAP also has a 4K 60Hz HDMI output that allows you to output virtual machine desktops or 4K HD content to TVs or large screens via the HDMI 2.0 output behind the TS-464C2. In addition to the HDMI port, QNAP also provides 3 USB ports, in addition to the conventional keyboard and mouse box and UPS data cable, you can also connect one of the USB ports to the microphone, which is a proper home KTV device.
Finally, there are a large number of suite resources that come with QNAP AppCenter, Cherry counted them carefully, and there are a total of 109 applications~~ (A, A, A, A, 109 will, you have 1 more than 108 will)~~, of which there are 10 apps related to media, music, etc., accounting for 9.2% of the kit center, and also contains a set of official suites and many other applications such as Plex, Roon, MinimServer, Kazoo, Classic third-party media management and playback tools such as sMedio.
Below, Cherry will take a look at how QNAP provides us with a wonderful family entertainment center~~
QNAP creates a one-stop entertainment system
AppCenter is full of entertainment suites
Multimedia Console——强大的媒体索引中心
Multimedia Console integrates indexing, format conversion, thumbnail generation, AI face recognition, item recognition, similar photo recognition, etc., simplifying configuration by adding content sources from all multimedia applications on one screen, and supports viewing and viewing content including QuMagie, Photo Station, Video Station, Music Station, iTunes server, DLNA multimedia server, Multimedia Streaming Components, Cinema 28, and more.
Once we've configured the property path, the suite can automate the task.
Music Staion – Your digital music library
Music Station is a music management system launched by QNAP, which includes "Spotlight" and "Management Mode", which allows you to listen to music by singer, album, genre, folder, playlist, etc., and of course, it also supports the modification of music metadata, and can achieve ultra-complete music data scraping and modification with music tags.
It is worth mentioning that Music Station also includes a push mode, which supports DLNA, HDMI, Bluetooth, Chromecast, Audio Line Out and other protocols, which can push music to media devices that can be found under the current network. It also supports obtaining music resources from other devices in the DLNA domain and playing them directly.
Media Streaming - a free streaming service center
As mentioned above, QNAP can push all media-related resources to the streaming plug-in through the Media Streaming plug-in, which supports pushing music, photos, and videos to DLNA, Chromecast, and HDMI-connected devices.
For example, at Cherry's home, QNAP automatically recognizes the Kiwifruit app of Sony TV, and pushes media resources with one click, so that you can enjoy the resources in QNAP's NAS on TV.
QceanKTV – Family Gathering KTV
QceanKTV is a comprehensive family karaoke system developed by QNAP, including KTV management and TV singing screens. In the [Sing] page, we can see the functions categorized as recommended songs, my favorites, playlists, most frequent on-demand, singer songs, quick song finding, etc., the most comfortable thing is that the recommended songs directly provide various rankings on YouTube, click on the corresponding list to directly order.
In addition to YouTube, QceanKTV also supports the import of local MV songs, and supports linking the microphone to sing through a USB external sound card. It is worth mentioning that QceanKTV not only supports KTV output to TV/screen via HDMI, but also supports singing using mobile APP.
Cinemas28——家庭智能音乐台
Cinemas28 is a new app that provides a management center for streaming devices, allowing us to easily monitor the music listening of all the devices on the network, such as what's playing on the TV and who's listening to it.
At the same time, the app allows us to navigate to the "Now Playing" list for each device, and supports keyword search and metadata filtering through Qsirchs.
summary
QNAP is one of the giants of NAS manufacturers, and has been immersed in the NAS industry for 20 years, and has undergone sufficient feedback and run-in from the market in terms of basic technology and entertainment spirit. As more and more young people and even young families buy and use NAS equipment, a hexagonal NAS that can fight and resist is undoubtedly the most needed by everyone.
This is also the advantage of QNAP, which has become the king of cost performance in the market with its relatively low price, super hardware materials, rich and highly free operating system, and a large number of easy-to-use kits. Therefore, Cherry thinks that it is quite a good note to take advantage of the 618 and buy a QNAP NAS when it is really needed.
