Preface

Jimi Z4X is a new screen less super TV device released by Jimi Technology on June 30, 2015. This product uses the DLP optical projection technology of Texas Instruments, which can project a 300 inch screen. Z4X is the flagship model in the Z4 series. It uses a new S8 optical engine with a dual optical path design, which is 30% brighter than the 0.45 optical engine commonly used in the market. In terms of sound, The Z4X audio system has cooperated with Harman Carton, and is matched with Texas Instruments' fever level zero distortion power amplifier. The effect is very promising. In addition, with the cooperation between Jimi and Baidu Music, the entire Jimi Z4X can be regarded as a high-quality Wifi speaker.

『 Basic parameters 』

▲ Jimi Z4X uses LED light source with a long service life, and its brightness is up to 580ANSI lumens. You can also see the projection content in the room without direct sunlight, which is completely enough for family use. The Z4X uses DLP reflective projection technology, with a resolution of 1280 * 800. At a distance of about 3 meters, it can project 120 inches, and the picture is clear. In addition, the fuselage is equipped with an automatic trapezoidal correction function, which can be adjusted ± 40 degrees in the vertical direction, and can be displayed normally in oblique projection without maintaining the fuselage horizontal state. Z4X also has a rich interface, supporting 2.4G and 5G WIFI, with more stable signal and smoother viewing. It integrates the international top audio brand Harman Carton, and is tuned by its chief engineer Alan Michel in person. At the same time, with the high fidelity digital power amplifier of Texas Instruments, it can enjoy superior sound quality without additional audio equipment.

『 Hardware θ unpacking 』

↓ First, have a fun unpacking ↓

▲ The outer package of the Jimi Z4X is very simple, full of Apple style, and the Harman Carton logo is clearly visible. When you pull up, the black and white fashionable retro style is immediately in front of you, like a vinyl record. The high-density sponge wraps the Z4X tightly, and the plastic film on the surface also briefly explains the gesture operation of Z4X. The two-year VIP card of Mango TV, which is attached with the machine, can foresee the application of built-in Mango TV. The accessories at the bottom are packed in the same black paper box, with simple icons on the surface to show the accessories inside the box.

『 Hardware θ appearance 』

▲ For most intelligent devices, the beauty ratio determines the success or failure of a product to a greater extent. With similar performance, everyone wants to buy a product with unique design and exquisite workmanship. The appearance of the Jimi Z4X is similar to that of the vinyl record player. Its shape is retro and fashionable. The classic black and white color matching allows it to blend with any environment.

▲ The lens protection cover can not only protect the lens, but also act as a switch. When the power is on, close the lens protection cover and immediately turn into a WIFI speaker.

▲ The independent speaker unit developed in cooperation with Harman Carton has greatly improved the sound quality while reducing user costs, bringing users different auditory enjoyment.

▲ Polar meter Z4X is equipped with LAN USB3.0、USB2.0、 Dual HDMI, AV, LAN, 3.5mm headphone interface, etc., compared with only one USB interface and one HDMI interface on the market, there are many interfaces, and they are also very practical.

▲ The plastic sticker on the front is marked with instructions for using gestures. Just wave your palm over the device to switch songs. Draw a circle to adjust the volume. Long press the XGIMI logo to turn on/off, play/pause, which is very convenient.

▲ The shape of Jimi Z4X adopts the design of round sky and place to convey a quiet and calm visual feeling, and adds the classic vinyl record element. The red indicator light plays a role of embellishment for the body, making it more elegant.

▲ The bottom of the polar meter Z4X not only serves as a support, but also has something else inside. The three support points at the bottom are actually screws. This design increases the beauty and integration of the bottom. After the screws are removed, the cover at the bottom can be removed by forcefully rotating according to the arrow at the bottom.

▲ In fact, there is a hard disk compartment designed at the bottom. This hard disk compartment can only fit 7mm hard disks, and most notebook hard disks will be filtered out at once. In addition, there is an official note: to avoid the impact of horn vibration on the service life of mechanical hard disk, please insert the solid state disk.

▲ If you need a tripod, you need the adapter that is randomly distributed by the polar meter Z4X. Fix the adapter corresponding to the bottom, and then use the tripod to fix the body. The use of tripod can bring more and better experience. Although Z4X can automatically correct trapezoid, it will correspondingly reduce the display area.

▲ Finally, the equipment, handles and WIFI speakers used to match the Jimi Z4X on the hands will be exposed.

Actual Experience

▲ The system developed by Jimi Z4X based on Android 4.3 is similar to most box applications and smart TVs, with simple and clear classification. It is divided into four modules: film and television, music, games and applications. In addition, Jimi has also cooperated with Mango TV, which has a built-in Mango TV APP. This time, Jimi Z4X has also attached a 24 month Mango VIP membership service.

▲ Because of the built-in Mango TV, Hunan Satellite TV's programs update faster than other platforms, and its power resources can not be said to be very new, but it is also OK, but some new power needs VIP members to watch.

▲ Jimi Z4X also cooperates with Baidu Music. The built-in music resources come from Baidu Music and can be played on the music interface.

▲ For the convenience of the game, although the Jimi Z4X supports game peripherals, after using the chicken handle and the grape game hall handle, it is found that the Bluetooth can not scan the handle and can not be connected.

▲ For Jimi Z4X, other functions are similar to those of the box. Here we mainly introduce the settings of the down projection. The gyroscope horizontal correction function can automatically correct the trapezoid without manual setting after the Z4X is placed horizontally and the automatic trapezoid correction is enabled after using this function. Moreover, the projection mode can be set, which can be automatically switched whether it is placed in front or upside down.

Next, please enjoy the picture of Z4X. The actual picture is clearer than the picture.

▲ The above projection environment is indoor at night, with all lights off.

▲ The above projection environment is indoor in the daytime. Close the curtains.

I was very satisfied with the projection effect, especially when I watched movies and TV at home at night. With Harman Carton's speakers, I didn't need to connect other equipment.

Summary

Jimi Z4X is really a good product. In the current state, although the brightness of the LED projector is not comparable to that of the traditional mercury lamp projector, it is still sufficient for general family use. And with Mango TV and Baidu Music, Jimi has been greatly supplemented in its video resources. The lumen calculation of 580ANSI is the highest among many household projection products, which, together with DLP and dual light path technology, provides a guarantee for visual enjoyment. However, it is still a long way to replace TV, and it is enough to be used as a cinema level enjoyment.
