As people's spare time life becomes more and more abundant, it has gradually become a routine for young people to choose to watch movies to relax at weekends. With the rise of the Chinese film market, Hollywood blockbusters in the past two years have hit new heights on the road to hit the historical list, such as Star Wars 7, Speed and Passion 7 Such films have achieved great success in the Chinese market. But do I have to go to the cinema to watch a movie?
In our inherent thinking, the cinema has become the first choice for us to watch movies, followed by watching various movie resources on computers or smart TV, but both methods have no small drawbacks. In the former case, the cinema has a large screen and a better viewing experience, but the crowded seats, poor sanitation, and environmental noise, such as the distressed bear child, are all obstacles to our access to the cinema. The latter, watching on a computer or smart TV, can be at home in a comfortable environment, but due to the limitations of screen size and sound effects, the viewing experience is often not good.
But with the progress of the times and the development of technology, now we have a new choice - intelligent home theater, a new choice that can provide both the ideal viewing effect of the theater and a good viewing environment. Nuts are the leader of the trend of smart home cinema. With the leadership of technology innovation companies like Nuts, smart home theaters have made rapid progress. In just a few years, smart home theaters have been upgraded to cinema level viewing experience. Now it is no longer a dream to enjoy blockbusters without leaving home.
As the leader of smart cinema, Nuts Smart Cinema has brought smart cinema to a new height through independent innovation through technological progress and rapid progress in projection technology. Now Nuts not only subvert the living room TV market, but also focus on the cinema market. With the improvement of video resources, it is no longer a dream to surpass the cinema line.
Recently, Nuts launched a new smart home theater - NutX1 smart theater. Now let's see what kind of products Nuts, which have always been at the forefront of the times, have brought us.

Unpacking&Hardware:
Nut X1 Smart Cinema uses a simple black packaging box, with the outline of Nut X1 as the packaging background, and the JmGO logo is printed around the fuselage.
The paper of the packing box is very solid, heavy and powerful, and the protection is good.
After opening the packaging box, you can see the real nut X1 smart cinema. The packaging box uses a large number of foam sponges to protect the body, and the top cover is also covered with a sponge protective layer to prevent the body from being scratched.
The accessories included are very simple, including power adapter, power cord and remote control.
The shape of the remote control is very scientific, the buttons are simple and intuitive, and it is equipped with a mechanical volume dial, which can adjust the volume by rolling back and forth.
The side of the volume wheel is designed with anti slip lines, which makes it feel good.
The remote control is coated with skin like material, which is soft to the touch and is not easy to leave fingerprints.
The overall design of the fuselage is simple and full of design sense. It adopts the shell design of metal+dark black injection molding, which not only hides the air intake, heat dissipation and speaker openings in the dark black part, but also makes the fuselage more simple. It also makes the overall design have several budding lotus shapes. The coexistence of science fiction and ancient classics integrates the Chinese style in science and technology, and there is a kind of outstanding nature that is mud free. The metal part adopts the metal forming plus CNC processing and paint baking process, which is quite delicate. The light frosting feel is smooth and not easy to leave fingerprints.
The big eyes embedded in the curved lotus leaves are the essence of the whole intelligent cinema. Nut X1 intelligent cinema is equipped with a high transmittance coated lens with a projection ratio of only 1.13:1, which uses a combination of 1 resin aspherical lens and 10 glass lenses.
Compared with the 1.5:1 lens used in mainstream products on the market, the 1.13:1 lens of Nut X1 has obvious advantages in projection distance. With the same distance from the wall, Nut X1 can project a larger picture. For users with small indoor space, the advantage of 1.13:1 projection ratio is obvious when the distance from the wall is limited.
The Full HD beside the lens shows that it is a pure 1080P projection device. Compared with ordinary pure glass lens groups, the combination of spherical glass and aspheric resin lens can provide better display effect.
The four pieces of metal processed by metal forming, CNC processing and paint baking process are like a budding lotus flower, which hides the vitality of vigorous life in silence. The data interface is located on the back of the machine body, and the nut X1 intelligent cinema has all kinds of interfaces.
NutX1 smart cinema interfaces are as follows: AV In video audio input interface USB3.0、USB2.0、 Power interface, HDMI 2.0a interface, RJ-45 Ethernet, S/PDIF/headphone interface.
The logo printed with DLP on the back indicates that the machine adopts the DLP solution of TI. Users who have some knowledge of intelligent cinema know that the DLP solution is the most mature solution recognized by the industry, and its service life is far longer than that of other competitors.
The side design of nut X1 is very militant, and audio openings are reserved on both sides of the deep black injection molding. There is a 10W 48mm high fidelity speaker on both sides, and the two audio units are all made of aluminum magnesium alloy sound pots.
In order to ensure the quality of bass, Nutnut has also designed four matching subwoofer passive radiators, which are distributed in symmetrical positions to minimize the resonance caused by sound.
The base is the most mechanical part of the whole machine. It also adopts a dark injection design. The left and right sides are respectively air inlets and outlets. The four foot pads at the bottom can be raised and lowered to calibrate the level.
The part without filter screen is the air outlet, and the exposed black fins can be seen.
The air inlet on the other side has a large area of dust filter screen, which can prevent dust from entering the body while inhaling cold air.
The complexity comes from simplicity, and the classic comes from simplicity. Nut X1 Smart Cinema has formally followed such design principles. Simple lines and classic color matching have created an insatiable shape of Nut X1. It is not only an intelligent cinema, but also an outstanding piece of art.
Projection performance test:
In the projection performance test, we mainly focus on the real projection perception experience. As we all know, unlike TV or display screen, the projection brightness of intelligent cinema will decrease with the increase of distance. Therefore, we cannot judge the quality of an intelligent cinema simply by indicators. The real perception can best reflect the real performance of intelligent cinema.
NutX1 Smart Cinema left a deep impression on us when we started it. Its auto focusing speed is quite fast, and you can focus accurately when you start it. In order to test the projection effect, we have adjusted the position of nut X1 many times. In this process, no matter how we move nut X1, it can focus quickly, and the focusing efficiency is quite efficient. Such rapid focusing speed is very practical in real use scenarios. You can change the position of nut X1 at will in your home or conference room, and you don't need to worry about focusing any more.
However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test, we still use the manual focus function to reconfirm the focus before the test, so as to prevent our judgment from being affected by the focus. We took several live shot samples and video screenshots under indoor light conditions, and used the Samsung 4K demonstration film Seven Wonders of the World as the model video.

Real shot of nut X1 projection
In the live shot of the Samsung 4K demonstration film "Seven Wonders of the World", the image style presented by the nut intelligent projector is more inclined to heavy ink and color, and some scenes even have the feeling of oil painting. This heavy color preference is like the AMOLED screen. Although some users complain that the color restoration is not accurate, the color in their eyes is quite pleasing, Many users like this style.
NutX1 smart cinema is about 3 meters away from the wall, and the screen size is about 120 inches. Thanks to the excellent short focus projection ability of Nut X1, large area projection can be achieved in a very short distance, and large screen projection can be achieved without a large room.
Nut X1 has an ultra-high brightness of up to 950ANSI, and the picture brightness still performs quite well under the 120 inch projection area. There are a large number of high contrast, high contrast and poor contrast pictures in our demonstration films. Nut X1 intelligent cinema can perform satisfactorily, and the performance is worthy of recognition.
As a 1080P super resolution full HD intelligent cinema equipment, Nut X1 has a very good projection definition. Compared with ordinary projection equipment, its 1080P projection ability brings clarity advantages at a glance, which can better show the details of the picture when playing high-definition film sources.
When playing 4K local video, it is clear and smooth, and the display effect is more beautiful and bright than the film source. Nut X1 adopts a full set of DLP projection solution of DLP4710 DMD+DLPA3005 PMIC+DLPC3439 display controller, and has a built-in 0.47 "DMD+RGB LED display chip, which shows excellent image restoration and resolution ability. Whether it is a high contrast and high contrast image or a hazy Japanese style image, it can be perfectly restored, with excellent performance.
Projection effect comparison:
For an intelligent cinema equipment, the most important thing is the projection effect. Nut X1 Smart Cinema adopts a full set of DLP solutions, which can make the extreme brightness reach an amazing 950ANSI, and uses a high transmittance coated lens with a projection ratio of 1.13:1. Its 950ANSI brightness has greatly improved compared with nut G1S's 450ANSI brightness, almost doubling the level. Now let's see how Nut X1 performs.
In the comparison picture, the upper picture is the original picture, the lower picture shows the nut G1S on the left, and the lower picture shows the nut X1 on the right. All the contrast photos are taken under the same camera parameters.
In the comparison of standard colorimetric cards, both of them are excellent, and the restoration of most colors is more accurate. The performance of nut X1 was more accurate than that of nut G1S in the warm color system, but nut G1S was slightly better in the cold color system. In the performance of some dark color blocks, the submergence of nut X1 is much better than that of G1S. The new technology not only brings higher brightness to nut X1, but also brings better submergence and better black performance.
In the effect of this Holy Family Cathedral, both of them are excellent, but the color style is different. We can clearly see that nut X1 can restore the sky more accurately, the blue color is quite pure, and the color saturation is better than G1S. In the details of the Saint Family Cathedral, nut X1's 1080P high-resolution advantages are all clear, and the restoration is quite excellent in the sculpture details of the cloister. The color saturation of G1S is somewhat low, and the overall picture is somewhat white, but compared with most similar products, the performance of nut G1S is still excellent.
In this picture of the Eiffel Tower, there are totally different color styles between the two. The color of G1S is relatively light, while that of X1 is relatively thick. It has the feeling of oil painting and rich picture layers. In terms of details, such as clouds in the sky, X1 is much better than G1S in restoring details. In addition, the brightness of the highlight part of the picture is significantly higher than that of G1S. The bright place is bright, and the diving place is bright. The excellent quality of X1 perfectly explains what an excellent intelligent cinema is.
In the performance of flowers in the setting sun, the color of nut G1S is relatively cold, but the details of the upper left mountains are better, X1 is somewhat high saturation, and the whole picture is more colorful. In the overall picture, X1 still performs better, especially the flowers and grass. Although it is a little heavy, the visual effect is more pleasing to users.
In terms of the night scene performance of the lake, both of them are excellent, and the color restoration is more realistic. The picture performance of both seems more attractive than the original video screenshot. In terms of specific details, G1S is slightly better in the performance of the sky, but X1 is better in the overall performance of the picture. Both the color of the glazed roof of the building in the picture and the green trees on the ground are more realistic. In addition, nut X1 has higher brightness in the highlighted part, especially the part with shadow under the glazed tile.,
In the performance of night sculpture, X1 performs much better than G1S. The advantages of high saturation and 1080P high definition brought by the new technology can be seen everywhere. Whether it is the performance of the sky, the color transition of the water surface, or the details of the sculpture, X1 is better than nut G1S.
On the performance of Mira Apartment, G1S has performed quite naturally, but X1 has performed better. In terms of the color of the sky, the transition of G1S is unnatural. In contrast, the transition of X1 is more natural, and even a bit amazing in the performance of dark clouds. Also thanks to the improvement of resolution, X1 is obviously better than G1S in the details of building walls.
The color variety of colorful fruits is rich and complex, both of which are good and accurate. Nut X1 is more outstanding in details, with higher brightness and more beautiful colors. In the color restoration of the peach surface on the left, nut X1 also performs better, and the color texture of the apple surface is clearer than that of G1S.
Audio performance:
Hidden in the bud of the water lily is the nut, which is a carefully designed built-in dual 10W 48mm hi fi speaker. Although the speaker is hidden, the sound field effect is good. The two audio units use an aluminum magnesium alloy cone, which performs well in the three bands.
In particular, in the bass band, Nuts uses four subwoofer passive radiators to match with speakers to ensure the quality of bass. The bass is full of potential, strong and moderate. It tastes good when listening to the bass. The singer's characteristics of being low and a bit hoarse are well restored. For users who prefer bass, their performance is very lively and dynamic, and they perform well in the weight and light of drums and each stroke. If such low-frequency performance can be achieved in such a small body, please praise nuts.
In terms of high frequency, thanks to the sound basin made of aluminum magnesium alloy, its high frequency is quite sharp and clear. It is quite crisp and explosive for the performance of female treble. The sound is sharp but not too sharp. The middle and high frequencies represent clean and detailed sound.
The control performance of tri band is good, the sense of space is sufficient, the voice is relatively forward, the low-frequency diving is good and can be played freely, which is very suitable for listening to male voices, rock, popular and certain types of small knitting or classical music. The performance of the built-in audio system of Nut X1 surprised us.
Noise&Heat Test
We tested the ambient volume before the test, and after the test, the ambient noise was about 42-45 decibels. Many people may not have a clear experience of how many decibels are equivalent to what sense of hearing. Let's first look at the range of hearing we can usually feel:
0 dB causes hearing
10 decibels wind rustling leaves
20dB whisper
30dB bedroom
40dB Library/Reading Room
50dB office
60 decibels general speaking
70 decibels Speak loudly
80dB normal vehicle driving
90 decibels noisy road
100 dB tractor starts
Our test environment is only equivalent to the noise level of the library office. It is still very quiet. I hope you have a clear understanding of decibels.
Then the test began. Half an hour after playing 1080P HD video, we used a noise meter to test the noise level of nut X1. We set test points 1.5 meters around the projector. The test results are as follows:
The measured noise at the position 1.5 meters away from the projector is about 50 decibels. The control is quite good. The sound of the fan is hardly noticed when playing the video. The viewing experience is quite good. There is a slight noise when it is used for conference display, but it hardly affects the use experience.
It is worth mentioning that the machine can manually adjust the fan speed, with a total of five speeds. After the speed is adjusted to the first gear, the noise decreases significantly from 59-60 dB (the test distance is 20 cm) in the third gear to 53-54 dB. Then we also conducted a temperature test. The temperature of the speed in the first gear is still within the controllable range. If the requirements for noise are high, you can try to adjust the speed to the first gear.
The maximum noise is only 65 decibels at the extreme fifth gear speed, which is only equivalent to the normal speaking volume and still within the ideal range.
After playing 1080P video for half an hour, the hottest position of the machine body is only about 39 ℃, so the heat dissipation effect is quite good, and there is no need to worry about the stability of the machine operation due to overheating of the machine body after playing for a long time.
We try to use different fan speed gears for a long time video playback. Whether it is the first gear or the fifth gear, the whole machine's heating is within the controllable range. The full open temperature of the fifth gear is reduced to about 36 ℃, and even the highest temperature of the first gear is only 41 ℃. The heat dissipation design is very excellent, as can be seen from the design of nuts.
System&Multimedia Content:
Based on the JmGO OS customized for Android, Nuts has customized a set of JmGO desktop with high usability, and designed a set of multimedia system with both usability and entertainment for the projector, which is simple and practical in style.
The system design is quite simple, all functions are clear at a glance, and the color matching is also very simple and bright. When you enter the desktop, some of our most commonly used functions will be displayed, such as signal switching, function setting, information, search, power setting, etc.
In terms of Internet resources, Nuts has cooperated with Litchi TV (i.e. iQiyi), BesTV Resources, Movie Network, Douban, Music Station and other platforms, and has greatly enriched the resources of Nuts Smart Cinema by expanding with these third-party resource service providers.
Nuts provide many choices in multimedia. Users can choose from many channels, such as movies, TV dramas, variety shows, children, animation, entertainment, fashion, and so on. They can quickly find their favorite programs in whatever programs they like to watch.
The smart cinema is equipped with a 1.4GH Quad Core A53+Mali450MP4 SoC, which is not as powerful as some smart phones, but it runs smoothly. The nut also has a built-in game center, where users can search and download any game they want to play.
Nuts also provides a number of selected topic pages, which will provide a collection of films on the corresponding topics. There are not only such topics as European Cup and weekend cinema, but also travel season topics classified by regions. Users interested in this aspect can follow the selected videos to learn about local customs.
Video explanation on the special page, destination: Paris. There are countless similar feature films. Nuts have really made a lot of efforts in terms of resources.
After the home theater enters the intelligent era, it has become not only a projection display device, but also a multimedia center with both business and entertainment. It can become a perfect business demonstration tool, and also a home entertainment center that can replace TV in spare time. Therefore, the richness of resources has become one of the standards to measure an intelligent theater, There is no doubt that nuts are well made in this respect.
Summary:
In terms of hardware ease of use, NutX1 Smart Cinema is very easy to install. Except for the power cord, there are no redundant accessories. You can use it after adjusting the bottom rotatable foot pad and leveling it. Go for simplicity. Everything is designed for simplicity and practicality. The most popular product is often the one with the lowest cost. Nut X1 Smart Cinema is just such a product.
Then there is the system experience. The JmGO customized system specially developed for Nuts is easy and fast to use, and all functions are clear at a glance. It is easy to find online resources or local resources. For this kind of smart cinema, which takes the home market as the main market, simple and fast is a rare experience. Too many devices pursue perfection. The huge and redundant system is not only cumbersome to operate, but also slow down the system. This is also the reason why the lightweight system of JmGO is so popular with users.
As Nuts Smart Cinema has entered the 1080P era in an all-round way, the definition of such devices has made a qualitative leap, and has got rid of the impact of poor definition of traditional projection devices in the past. Smart cinema with high contrast, high brightness and high resolution can compete with traditional movies on the screen. For modern young people who have a pursuit of quality of life, owning a nut X1 can get rid of crowded cinemas and realize theater level audio-visual enjoyment at home.
