These packages are complemented by mobile apps on both iOS and Android. Other multimedia packages such as Photo Station and Audio Station are also available in the DS216play to strengthen its multimedia focus.
PLEX MEDIA SERVER SYNOLOGY DS216++ TV
The Video Station package in DSM allows for users to also record TV programs with a DVB-T / DVB-S stick. The unit is also DLNA certified as a DMS (Digital Media Server). The design uses a single GbE port and Synology claims performance numbers of 107 MBps reads and 91 MBps writes for a RAID-1 volume. The unique feature of the DS216play will be the real-time 4K transcoding capabilities (up to 4Kp30 for H.265/HEVC and 4Kp24 for H.264/AVC). Before discussing the SoC itself, let us take a look at what DS216play brings to the table. Instead, we have a new SoC in Synology's lineup - the STM STiH412 from ST Microelectronics.
PLEX MEDIA SERVER SYNOLOGY DS216++ SERIES
Synology wants to project the play series as an affordable NAS unit in the market, ruling out a x86-based platform. Synology, however, has decided to retain a STB platform for the follow-up product to the DS214play - the DS216play. Vendors such as QNAP and Asustor resorted to utilizing Quick Sync that came as part of most Bay Trail and Braswell Atom SKUs. Intel has not provided any updates to their STB platform since the CE5300 was launched. It used Intel's Evansport platform (the CE5300 Berryville set-top box (STB) platform re-launched for network-attached storage purposes) and took advantage of the transcoding engine to deliver a unique media server experience. The Synology DS214play was one of the unique NAS units from Synology released last year.
