Remember the days when LeEco and Xiaomi were forced to compete for TV resources some time ago? We have to admit that smart TV is really made by LeEco and Xiaomi to a large extent, and even Hengduo traditional professional TV manufacturers are willing to give up. The performance also declined in a straight line. But now LeEco and Xiaomi seem to have stopped in smart TV? LeTV is not focusing on TV, but on the "narrowest border" mobile phone in the world. Xiaomi released Xiaomi TV 2, which also entered a downturn. Sales have declined from generation to generation. From the perspective of the two manufacturers, the smart TV has become larger and larger. At first, it was 47 inches, but now it is 50 inches. Some manufacturers have innovated curved TV. However, TV is not a mobile phone, not a consumable. A TV will last for three or five years at least, and more than ten years. Smart TV has appeared a bottleneck period. Smart TV has changed people's lives, and has also gradually raised people's life positioning. More and more families can no longer meet the needs of smart TV. Many users who know how to enjoy life are starting to set up "home cinemas" and move the cinemas home. Gradually, 50 inch and 60 inch TV sets are not enough to serve as the windows of home theaters. At least the size of 100 inches+is satisfactory. The need for high-definition image quality, but also large enough, this time the projector began to enter people's daily life. A wave of projector purchase has started...

The first time I saw the projector was in primary school. At that time, the projector was still a machine with a big light bulb. It was black and white when I inserted a card and projected it onto the screen through a mirror. Later, junior high school began to contact with color projectors, and every student wanted to take this class. It was a rare turn every month, and only authoritative teachers could apply. The high temperature alarm will be sent out after 20 minutes of contact. It is said that at that time, it was introduced at a price of tens of thousands. When we were young, we didn't think that this thing would have anything to do with our own life. The times are developing rapidly. More than ten years have passed in a flash. Today's projectors are no longer the kind of stupid projectors used to be. The traditional TV is replaced by intelligent TV. Then the traditional projector also has an intelligent projector to replace it. This is the progress of the times.

Today, the author brings you the experience of an intelligent projector - Shenhua Y1 intelligent projector. To believe that the intelligent life in the future must have a place for intelligent projectors, let's start the evaluation section:

Shenhua Y1

Unpacking:

Before talking about the products, it is necessary to know about Shenhua. Shenhua is the operating brand of Hongdie Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.'s imaging products, and Hongdie Technology is the world's first R&D and manufacturer of micro projectors. It is also one of the world's professional manufacturers of optical devices and optical modules. From the development of LCD optical modules to the development of LCOS optical engines to the innovation of high-performance DLP optical engines, in the high-end threshold industry of projection, Hongdie Technology is determined to keep pace with the times, focusing on the development of high-end areas of projection core technology, and optical engines are popular at home and abroad, Six out of every ten micro projectors in the world directly or indirectly use the Red Butterfly light machine, and hundreds of technical patents and invention patents are among the best.

From our understanding, we know that Shenhua has 13 years of optical research history, and it is also a veritable projector production company. It pays more attention to the research of micro projectors, which also lays a good foundation for the important transformation of micro projectors into ordinary families.

The package of Shenhua Y1 is relatively satisfactory. The projector is relatively "fragile" compared with other digital products. In fact, the author is worried about what will be damaged during transportation. Shenhua Y1 uses two layers of packaging. The advertising slogan on the first layer of packaging is: "Phenomenon has no boundaries", I guess its meaning should be that the projector can make the picture bigger and smaller. I have little talent and knowledge, and I can only understand this part. Open the first package to see a box with 3D eyes written on it. This should be a complimentary eye. This eye is not small, and will be introduced later. In order to better protect the product, it is divided into two layers of packaging, and the four corners of the second layer of packaging are buffered with buffer foam. It effectively alleviates the shock damage during transportation.

Open the second layer of packaging to see the real body of the divine painting, which is a bit like a ingot shaped, with a remote control beside it. There are high-definition transmission lines, data lines, sent 8Gtf cards, manual warranty cards, power supplies, etc. under the remote control. The picture below is a family photo of accessories other than 3D eyes.

Product details:

Before talking about the product details, let's talk about the 3D glasses we gave you. We all know that there are three kinds of 3D eyes commonly used in the market: red, blue, red and green 3D glasses; Polarized 3D glasses; LCD shutter glasses; Among them, red, blue, red and green 3D eyes are the cheapest. Polarized 3D glasses are mostly used in cinemas. The LCD shutter glasses need to be charged, and the equipment is expensive, but the effect is the best. Yes, the latter is the gift of divine painting Y1. It is also equipped with storage bags, mirror wiping cloth, instructions and data lines. The parts are so powerful.

The most conspicuous part of the divine Y1 painting is that there are two lenses that break the traditional shape, and they have attracted me deeply before I started. Color classification: bright moon white/jazz black, the bright moon white obtained by the author; Size: 275mm × 212mm × 76mm, weight: about 1.68kg; The overall power is 98W, and the standby power is 0.5W; The operating system is based on the PIQS UI CPU Cortex-A9 2.0GHz four core processor GPU Mali-450 MP6 eight core graphics processor system memory 2G built-in storage 8G expansion card type Micro SD card (maximum support 128G) human-computer interaction virtual touch interaction technology; DMD 0.45 "light source OSRAM # P1W # LED light source brightness 600 ANSI lumen light source life 30000 hours display technology DLP technology picture proportion 16:9 image mode bright, standard, soft display mode hoisting mode, normal mode 3D display shutter type 3D image display, (left and right, up and down) support external 3D video source signal input, Support Android system source 3D decoding; Color display 17 million full colors; Projection ratio 1.03 (100% Offset); Projection size 45 "@ 1m - 110" @ 2.4m; Projection distance 1-7m NTSC color gamut ≥ 130%; 100% color restoration; Physical resolution 1280x800 supports resolution 1920 × 1080/4096 × 2304; Contrast 8000:1; Ladder correction vertical manual ladder correction ± 40 °; Focusing mode Intelligent auto focusing; Self provided: 2x3W (high fidelity stereo) speakers;

The author said that the divine painting Y1 looks a bit like a gold ingot when it is put in the box. When it is taken out, it is cooler. The white top cover, accompanied by the gray body, and some holes like a bird's nest look like a bird's nest. The front magnetic lens cover effectively protects the lens. Let's first learn about the divine painting Y1 from all aspects:

positive

Right side

Left side

back

Top

bottom

The overall layout of Shenhua Y1 is still orderly. The interfaces are basically integrated on the right side. The left side is mainly in the direction of heat dissipation, so it is not suitable to design the socket. The right side is integrated with rich interfaces. Audio out: standard 3.5mm interface × 1 (stereo effect output); HDMI: HDMI 1.4b interface × 1; Mic USB: USB2.0 interface × 1, Mic USB2.0 interface × 1 (both support hot plug); TF card: Micro SD card slot interface × 1; VGA: 1 way RJ45 1 way; Data transmission: Bluetooth WIFI、HDMI、USB、OTG； The rich interfaces have more expansion capabilities. There are four height adjustable bases at the bottom, which can be adjusted according to the needs. A suspension hole is also designed near the rear part. Easy to hang.

Product function:

Shenhua Company has to say that it is a very experienced company. Every design is very humanized. Especially, users who have less contact before can quickly get started. Through the test of the author, the total length of the base bolt is about 31mm, that is, the maximum height can be adjusted to about 30mm, and the bolt diameter of 5.88mm belongs to the range of M6 bolts, At first, the author wanted to use the commonly used camera tripod as the platform to install the projector. Finally, he found that the pitch was wrong, but the same M6 screw could not be used. It was inevitable that he would have a little regret.

Remote control pen (remote control): with 1000 mah lithium battery, it can be used for 700 hours or 35 hours continuously. The left side is the power key, the right side is the volume key, the front left side is surrounded by the game handle connection button, and the right side is surrounded by the 2D/3D switch button, which supports the conversion of 2D movies we see into 3D images. There is also a direction navigation key, which is similar to the appearance of many smart TV remote controls, but its working principle is quite different. The virtual touch interaction technology not only has a speed 3 times faster than the mouse, but also the extremely simple magic pen design makes the operation more smooth and sensitive. Whether you enter the web address or search, it is only more convenient and faster when you use it. Be more agile than the mouse. The trial use of the battery is also relatively durable, and supports USB direct charging. This saves a lot of costs. It is worth noting that the signal transmission source on the top should not be blocked when using the remote control.

System:

It is known that Shenhua Y1 has two lenses, one is large and the other is small. One of the lenses on the side is used for auto focusing. Do you remember the projector when you were a child? Only fix the position, and then manually remove the knob to focus. Later, the more advanced ones also needed the remote control to focus manually. Now, with the advent of the intelligent era, focusing can't be done by ourselves. Our task is to press the remote control switch, and the divine painting can focus for you automatically. The success rate is 99%. The industry-leading auto focusing technology enables the lens to automatically measure, judge, focus and adjust. It takes only 2 seconds to identify accurately, quickly and intelligently. It solves the complexity of manual focusing. With a powerful focusing system, the experience will be more smooth.  

Entering the interface of divine drawing Y1 is like opening the current popular smart TV. Many TV boxes have similar layout, and even the interface layout of Y1 is more clear and beautiful. The resources are also good. The freshness of the resources visually exceeds that of Xiaomi. Of course, we can achieve more extensions through third-party software.

In fact, the system of divine painting is somewhat original. PIQS intelligent ecosystem: a file management system jointly developed with the United States that is more suitable for large screens. Large games, rich applications

Massive APP is specially designed for leisure and entertainment life. Each app is deeply customized and developed based on Android 4.4. Ninja is unparalleled, torrent speedboat is unparalleled, and Ares is unparalleled. There are also more games that are updated regularly, more abundant applications, and downloaded at will Super practical file management and game classification, simplifying the complexity. What looks a little complicated? Well, in short: this is an intelligent playback system based on Android platform. Compatible with all Android applications. So live broadcast software is no problem. Watch the live broadcast.

Indeed, the file manager has been optimized to make it more intuitive and beautiful. At the same time, it supports screen sharing between Android phones and Apple system phones, as well as image transmission of computers or TV box devices through HDMI. It can also support traditional VGA access on the premise that you have to purchase VGA data cables.

The capacity of Shenhua Y1 is 8g, and the usable capacity is about 5.34G. If you have used the Android native system before, you must be familiar with the whole setting interface. This is a bit similar. After optimization, it is more suitable for Y1, although some parts such as hotspots... It seems that it should not appear here. It's a bit of gilding the lily...

Resources are an important reference point for an intelligent platform. Shenhua and Youku Video have joined forces to provide a large number of rich video resources, update the source many times a week, and experience the most popular movies, TV dramas, variety shows, etc. without leaving the cinema. Of course, Ali Live is also pre installed. Don't worry about watching live TV.

Besides TV, what else can we do? Yes, the game should be fun. Taking advantage of the remote control pen, it's really great to play watermelon cutting. It's more fun than on the mobile phone. The big screen is cool. Other games are still under study...

Actual experience effect:

The actual experience effect of divine painting Y1 can be said to be very good. The unique dual lens design, main lens image projection output, sub lens real-time image monitoring and signal capture function can not only implement micron level high-precision synchronous monitoring, quickly capture the picture quality changes that can not be seen by the human eye, but also capture the high-speed movement of the magic pen, comparable to the touch screen, 1+1>2, which is the power of the magic painting dual lens. Projection virtual focus is a huge problem in the industry. Both the all glass lens and the all metal lens tube cannot avoid the physical characteristics of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and the smallest displacement can lead to the blurring of the front-end image. We should not only do the best from the hardware, but more importantly, we should monitor every frame in real time through dual lenses, and synchronously calculate and fine tune in the background, so as to solve the virtual focus phenomenon before the human eyes see it. The "thermal out of focus phenomenon" has been well solved.

The birth of the aspherical mirror with ten pieces of high transmittance double aspherical all glass lens was developed to correct spherical aberration. Shenhua Y1 adopts the "ten pieces of all manual double aspherical all glass lens" regardless of cost, which has perfect transparency, excellent contrast and efficient image resolution, making the picture more transparent and natural, and the color more realistic without loss, The displacement of the lens is very small after being heated, and the thermal defocus is solved from the hardware.

2D film source can also be easily converted into 3D film source with one click. At the beginning, I didn't feel it. I thought that if you converted the 2D film source, it would not have 3D effect. If I tried, I didn't walk around with 3D eyes before, and I found that, ouch, good. It really has a 3D effect.

The picture quality of Shenhua Y1 has exceeded that of TV. The brightness is 600 ANSI lumens, less than 1000 lumens, which is basically harmless to the eyes. Previously, it was said that the projector hurt the eyes because of the low resolution. The traditional 480p, which is hard for the naked eye, The resolution of Shenhua Y1 has reached the physical resolution of 1280x800, supporting the resolution of 1920 × 1080/4096 × 23041700w full color, which is no longer the traditional resolution. Many netizens still have this misunderstanding, which is just mentioned here. In fact, the advantage of careful projector is that it can freely adjust the size of the picture. Y1 supports sizes from 45 inches to 200 inches. Watching movies and TV is really cool.

Temperature control:

In fact, the most worrying part of the projector is its heating and service life. Speaking of heating, I recall that the Sony projector, which had to stop taking a rest after a period of time, was extremely worried. So when I got Y1, I showed it for a long time. After 2 hours of showing, the test temperature was still maintained at about 50 degrees, and the cooling fan would not sound too loud to watch the film.

Summary:

Advantages: auto focus, clear picture quality, smooth system, rich resources. The remote control pen experience is great. Able to work for a long time. Low noise. The speaker effect is good. The 3D film source conversion effect is quite good. Strong network connection stability...

Inadequate: poor use effect of bright light in the daytime (common fault of projector); The room is too small to fit.

Shenhua Y1 has indeed overturned the shadow of the projector when I was a child. I didn't think that the projector could integrate the intelligent TV resources, nor did I think that the projector would enter the life of ordinary people so soon. Indeed, the size of the TV set is about 50 inches, which has reached a bottleneck period. Either a smaller one is enough, or it can be directly used in the home projector to realize the intelligent cinema system. However, there is no way to better innovate the traditional smart TV. Therefore, individuals in the future market are more inclined to the popularity of the newly emerging "intelligent home theater". Only the projector will be the main occupier of the large screen market in the future. It will also be one of the cheapest solutions. Many people do not believe that the projector will replace the "traditional" smart TV. In fact, this is an innovative market. No products will always be replaced by innovative products. Shenhua Company really has rich experience in projector. The products designed and produced by Shenhua Company dazzle the author. It poses new challenges to traditional intelligent TV and traditional projectors. The future market belongs to the wise. This is just a good start. The price of 3999 is the price of a TV set. It's exciting to think that you can enjoy the 200 inch super large screen.
