As the intelligent projection technology continues to mature, we all want to build our own home theater for those who have always wanted to realize our dream of a large screen family. However, we have always believed that the expensive projection is also gradually becoming more affordable. Taking the "Jimi Technology", which is currently doing well in domestic projection, we launched three types of projection Jimi Z4X Z4Air and Mango Xiaomi give everyone multiple choices in choosing projection, including living room style and portable ones, for different application scenarios. At the time of the hot sales of these three models, another "Jimi Z4 Aurora" intelligent projection was put on the shelf for crowdfunding, and it had exceeded 2 million yuan on the first day of crowdfunding, and reached more than 10 million yuan at the end of the crowdfunding. This shows how popular this new product is among consumers. Fortunately, Lao Hu got the opportunity to experience the first batch of "Jimi Z4 Aurora" from Jimi Technology. Next, let's feel what the charm is and make so many consumers willing to spend this money on this order.

The appearance of the new Evoque Z4 is similar to that of the Evoque Z4X. The only difference is that the color of the appearance has changed. The lumens have been upgraded from 580ANSI to 600ANSI lumens. The most noteworthy thing is that the left-right ladder correction function only available for high-end projection of 10000 yuan has been added this time, and the remote control has also been changed from plastic to metal, It also adds voice and gravity sensing. It can be seen that the price of the Z4X is only a few hundred different from that of the Z4X. On the contrary, the Z4 aurora is relatively cost-effective. What kind of projection experience can these hundreds of pieces bring us? Follow Lao Hu to watch it.

This time, the outer packaging has changed from pure white to cool black, which has raised the grade of the whole product. It can be seen that the box is a bit heavy after removing all the product accessories. It has to be said that this time in the Z4 Evoque, not only the product itself, but also the outer packaging costs a lot. It can be seen that we attach great importance to every detail of this product.

This time, we can say that the matching of accessories is very rich. The power adapter, two 3D glasses, metal remote control and triangle chassis are also provided with a Micro USB power cable, which is mainly used to charge the remote control. In order to let us have unlimited access to movies and television, we presented a Mango VIP movie and television membership card worth 720 yuan for 24 months, You can view all Mango TV VIP resources at will.

Following some problems with the Jimi Z4X remote control last time, the remote control was redesigned and improved. First, the silver aluminum magnesium alloy metal shell was used in the material, while the battery was changed to the built-in mode. Bluetooth control is convenient for us to use at any corner. Compared with the previous 15 keys, the key layout is reduced to 12 keys, which are commonly used key functions. The control is still simple and convenient. The biggest difference is that the voice control is added this time. You can directly say the movie and TV play you want to see through the voice key, which is very convenient for the elderly and children. Of course, there are other functions added, such as gravity sensing, focusing, flying mouse, etc. Focusing can be turned on through the bottom switch, and only the volume can be adjusted by adding or subtracting. The improved remote control is small and powerful.

From the appearance, it can be felt that the Jimi Z4 Aurora continues the appearance of the Jimi Z4X. The bright silver aluminum magnesium alloy material elevates the overall grade. In addition, the front retro record shape is still one of the prominent places in the living room. In addition to satisfying our dream of a large screen cinema, it is not too much to place it as an ornament. With the new S8 optical engine and the dual optical path design, the brightness of the machine has increased by 30% compared with the ordinary optical machine, which has greatly improved compared with the Z4X. It can also be said that it is an upgraded version. After all, it has a similar appearance.

Smart projection is still focused on the lens. This time, we also used a high transmittance coated lens, and the lumen increased by more than 20% compared with the Z4X, that is, 600ANSI lumens. Although the difference is not much, there is still a big difference in the brightness of the projection and the overall. As for the lumen number, I will not say much about it. You can search through Durian, It doesn't matter to argue on these matters. After all, we will know whether it is good or not after using it. The projection size is the same as before. It can project a 300 inch giant screen at the maximum. It supports 3D movie playback and 1080 resolution, as well as 2K and 4K playback. It is perfectly supported in the actual 4K video playback process, which also depends on the 4-core 1.5ghz Mili-450mp4 processor configuration and 2GB DDR3 memory, which is also one of the important configurations to ensure smooth images.

I personally prefer the 3D gesture control design. In music playing, you can automatically switch songs by simply waving your hand to the sensing position. The addition of Harman Carton Sound can meet our daily sound needs for watching movies without external sound. When we do not need projection, it is also a different enjoyment to let the polar Z4 aurora play as sound.

The interface is still very rich, LAN、USB3.0USB2.0、 The two HDMI HD interfaces, DCIN power interface, AV interface, headphone interface and RESET are restored to factory settings. The left one is a heat sink, which can keep the system stable during operation. The actual test heat dissipation performance is also very good, so we don't need to worry about jamming due to poor heat dissipation.

In addition to the anti-skid rubber pad, the three screws of the chassis with a slightly raised back are also easy to remove, which can be unscrewed by hand. With the matching tripod chassis, you can purchase another support frame for mobile placement. There are also additional cooling holes beside it, so that the cooling fan inside can stably dissipate heat. In order to maintain stability, we have done a lot of work in terms of heat dissipation.

The 16G flash memory is built into the Z4 Aurora, which is far from enough for storing a large number of high-definition movies. In order to meet the requirements of extended storage users, add a 2.5 inch SATA solid-state hard disk card slot. For friends who are busy at work at ordinary times and have poor bandwidth at home, you can add expansion to the hard disk, and then use the system to automatically remote Thunderbolt download, so you can directly select your favorite movies on your mobile phone and realize remote download, You can directly watch offline when you return home, which solves the problem of buffer waiting due to insufficient bandwidth.

Jimi Z4 Aurora GMUI system experience

Although the Z4 Aurora is an upgraded version of Z4X, it is undeniable that it has brought many changes. At the same time, it has added the left-right trapezoid correction, which is only available for high-end computers of 10000 yuan. Although the official price has not yet been announced, the projection is gradually becoming more user-friendly at present, and I believe that the price will certainly give people a pleasant surprise. Next, let's look at the system. GMUI is developed based on Android 4.3. In the early experience, I have felt that the system optimization has been very good, and the interface has also achieved a simple and understandable way. At least there is not too much complicated process in the operation. Let's simply say that GMUI Android deep customization system.

The interface is kept very simple, and the four big icon menus are also common functions, movies, music, games and applications, and there are not too many third-party applications. Apart from a few common ones, there is almost no integration of third-party applications.

At present, we are cooperating with Mango TV, which provides a large number of film and television resources, enough for our daily viewing. In addition, the membership card of Mango TV allows us to watch any movie and TV play without any obstacles. Because of the copyright problem, 3D movies are not provided enough. If I were the one, I would rather download them. After all, playing 3D movies takes up a very large bandwidth, Remote Thunderbolt download is very important at this time.

Voice control is still common on smart TV, and there are functional limitations, which are less practical. This time, the voice control with the metal remote control can be said to be quite comprehensive in terms of search, such as film and television search, music search, application opening, weather, etc., which can be completed through voice control. Of course, such convenient control is also very convenient for the elderly and children. After all, it is OK to say.

As mentioned earlier, the polar meter Z4 aurora is matched with the Harman Carton sound system. It can be said that it is very enough to play as a sound system in daily movie watching. After all, the sound of the built-in sound system has performed very well. Compared with the previous Z4X, the games provided have indeed added many interesting games, such as the familiar Boxing King, Dinosaur Quick Play and so on, which can be played through the combination of game consoles.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the business mode function is added this time, which can be switched directly through the remote control. This is still useful for business office friends. It basically covers the PPT, Excel, Word and PDF formats. It can be said that almost most of the document formats can be supported and used to achieve multi-purpose purposes.

The two USB interfaces can facilitate us to add USB flash drives or mobile hard disks. They have done a good job in power supply. They can plug and play without external power lines, and they will be classified. This makes it easy for us to find them, and also shows their dedication.

This time, not only the left and right trapezoidal correction is added, but also stepless zoom is added, which can adjust the screen size. Compared with moving projection to adjust the screen size before, stepless zoom is really much more convenient.

Experience of the right and left trapezoidal correction projection picture of Jimi Z4 aurora

I believe that in addition to the overall performance configuration, people pay attention to the calibration of the left and right trapezoids of the Jimi Z4 Evoque. It can be said that this time it has cost a lot of money. Basically, we see that the left and right trapezoid calibration is only available for high-end computers of 10000 yuan. The benefits of adding this function are that even if you place it on the head of the bed obliquely, you can calibrate it through the left and right trapezoids, No matter which scene is projected, you can still see the best effect.

As a 600ANSI lumen, the polar meter Z4 aurora is still clearly visible when the light is on, although it has increased by 20% compared with the Z4X. It can also project any scene, such as white walls, roofs, etc., as long as there is a blank space, it can be projected. The scene is very wide, and it would be better if the built-in battery could be added.

At present, it supports 2K and 4K video playback, and has personally tested 4K video. There is almost no jam, and it has done a lot in terms of robust configuration and system optimization. Although there are few 3D resources available at present, it can't be blamed on them. After all, many 3D involve copyright issues. If I were my own person, I would still like to download them directly for offline viewing. Online playback occupies a lot of bandwidth, which is more comfortable than offline download viewing, which can avoid some network buffering.

Real shot of wallpaper projection

The above photos are all real wallpaper photos. They are just cut for the sake of beauty, without any later adjustment. With the resolution of 1280 * 800, it can be seen that the projected image is very satisfactory in terms of clarity and color contrast. We have to admit that the changes brought about this time are not only functional improvements, but also visible improvements in image quality.

In addition to being able to use the remote control, of course, the mobile phone client is also a must. The Kimi assistant can be downloaded from the app store and the official website. The main interface provides a familiar remote control, and sliding left also has corresponding function operations. Open the mobile phone resources to directly project pictures and videos onto the screen, which is undoubtedly a very good screen for friends who want to share.

The remote controller can control some small games, but for games such as Boxing King and Dinosaur Quick Play, it must be equipped with a game controller. It can support wired, wireless and even Bluetooth controllers. Playing games on a large screen is better than playing games on a mobile phone screen.

Jimi has a mature heat dissipation technology in terms of projection heat dissipation. After running for more than 3 hours, the temperature on the surface is 33.5 degrees, while the temperature on the cooling hole is 41.9 degrees. It can be said that it has been very stable in terms of heat dissipation. These problems can be avoided.

Why can the Jimi Z4 Aurora have such a big response in crowd funding? I believe from this experience report we can see that this upgraded version has indeed brought about many changes, such as a 20% increase in lumen, left-right trapezoid and voice multi-function control, which are only available for high-end computers with 10000 yuan, and there are also other practical functions. For building our own cinema, I believe that it is enough to meet our needs. In addition to projection, we also lose good help in office work. The added business model is convenient for us to switch, so that we can kill two birds with one stone. Every time a new product is launched, it brings a lot of surprises. In addition to its powerful configuration functions, the price is basically kept within our acceptable range. After all, there are many models of polar projection options, and one is always suitable for you. If you want to build your own personal cinema, but do not want to buy other external equipment too complicated, I believe that the Z4 Aurora will meet your cinema dream.
