[Preface]:

Projection, in people's impression, has always been a synonym for being tall. It seems that it does not match with ordinary families. Everyone likes to watch large screens. However, due to the cumbersome wiring, external equipment, the price of projection itself and other factors, projection is not the first choice. With the progress of science and technology, market segmentation, the era of intelligent micro investment has come quietly. With the rise of new projection brands such as Jimi, Mythology, Nuts, etc., as the latest flagship of Jimi Technology, what will be the surprise of Jimi Z4 Aurora? Let's find the answer.

[Unpacking]:

After receiving the aurora, the first feeling is heavy. The appearance is mainly black, with the product name in the middle, and the overall simplicity.

At the lower left corner of the back is the product nameplate of Aurora, as well as the logo of Harman, Mango TV and Baidu Music.

The addition of Harman Carton Audio makes me expect the sound quality of Aurora.

Open the package: at the top is an after-sales agreement, and the "gift box" at the bottom is Aurora.

The aurora is opened in a special way, using a three-stage gift box.

On the left are two pairs of 3D glasses.

Open the host with a VIP card of 720 yuan+Evoque in the middle.

On the right is the all-in-one metal remote control, which is a major feature of this time.

A tripod is attached to the sea below the main engine, which can fix the aurora on the tripod.

OK, The following is a family photo, which is very rich in accessories.

Host details:

The whole machine still adopts the design of the black vinyl phonograph case of the ultra meter Z4X, but the color is changed to dark color, which makes the whole plastic body look a little metallic. Compared with the white Z4X, it is more resistant to dirt and is of high grade.

The high-quality speakers of Harman Carton are still used, and the sound quality is guaranteed.

The upper disc has a retro look, with a switch button in the middle.

Sensing device for gesture switching.

The left side of the rear is the cooling grid, and the right side is the LAN cable interface/power interface/USB3.0/USB2.0/2 * HMDI/AV jack/3.5mm headphone interface, which is rich in interfaces.

The lens is switched on and off manually. In future versions, it can be improved to turn on and off automatically.

Remote control:

Metal material+voice+body feel, which has been greatly improved compared with the remote control of the Jimi Z4X.

The bottom of Evoque is a removable chassis with three rubber anti-skid foot pads.

Open the rear cover: remove the screw rubber pad at the three corners.

SSD (solid state disk) can be inserted, but it is not recommended to insert mechanical keyboard, because the horn vibration will affect the track.

Install the tripod:

Take out the attached tripod adapter, fix the tripod screw, and then install the PTZ quick mounting plate.

After installation, you can freely adjust the projection height and rotation direction of the aurora.

Startup settings:

After starting up, the first thing to do is focus: turn on the remote control FOCUS (to the right), turn on the blue indicator light, click the+- button to focus, and then turn off the FOCUS button.

Trapezoidal correction:

The trapezoidal correction added by aurora is the highlight:

OK, After completing the trapezoidal correction, you will begin to experience the aurora officially.

The aurora interface is divided into standard mode and business mode (business mode is office suite).

In standard mode

Well known Mango TV, Jimi cooperated with Mango, and Aurora gave away VIP for 24 months (2 years). Well, it's quite sincere.

However, we need to complain that the source of Mango TV is really slow to update, and the source of movies and TV series is even VIP.

Of course, if you are a fan of Hong Kong TV TVB, Mango TV's resource advantages will be reflected. The latest Hong Kong TV support is quite powerful.

It doesn't matter if Mango TV is not powerful. There are third-party applications that can be installed.

Of course, because of the regulations of radio and television, the polar meter aurora has blocked many ways to install third-party applications, but there are still several methods available.

My method is to download third-party APP through the built-in Xunlei remote bit. Since Xunlei remote bit is built-in, this method is applicable to all versions of Aurora.

After installing the APP, you can add it below. It is convenient not to install software like the Dangbei desktop.

Gesture operation:

You can switch songs and adjust the sound size. The switching accuracy is high, and the success rate of sound size adjustment is average.

Real time sample:

Of course, this is the effect after pulling the curtains. The brightness is high and clear.

Comparison with 40 inch TV:

Video recording:

Sports live broadcast:

Movies:

TV (Youku Ultra clear)

If you choose to watch TV plays and movies in the ultra clear mode, I believe the effect will satisfy you. Of course, 4K is not practical, so we will not show too much.

Summary

Advantages:

High appearance and sufficient materials

Trapezoidal correction, convenient focusing

Harman audio

Mango VIP, gesture operation

High brightness and definition at night

Disadvantages:

Mango TV film source is limited, and APP experience is ordinary

Average daytime brightness

In general, Jimi Aurora has met my requirements, and it is also feasible to replace TV. The Aurora combines the projection and TV box well. Of course, there is still room for progress. I hope that Jimi will bring us new surprises.
