On August 13, 2019, Gemi Technology held a press conference with the theme of "sensory revolution and extreme imagination", at which three new intelligent projection products were released: Aurora RS Pro, H3 and Z8X, Love to play computer games As one of the top 500 companies in the global evaluation, I got the Aurora RS Pro in advance, and I can't wait to see its performance. We can't wait to evaluate it.
Appearance: the projector can also have an "advanced feeling"
When I first saw the Aurora RS Pro, my first impression was really high-end, angular line design. The combination of metal gray color matching and metal wire drawing on the surface of the body created a high-level feeling. In the design, the Aurora RS Pro has many details to tell.
On the top of the fuselage, the metal brushed surface feels very metallic, and a circle that is both a breathing lamp and an X-Remote controller. The combination of square and circle is somewhat flexible.
Here I would like to talk about the X-Remote controller. The controller can be attached to the body or used separately. What impressed me most is the texture of the controller knob when it rotates. It is very comfortable. It is like turning the knob of the safe. It feels like you can play for a whole day.
The slide cover design of the electric lens adopted by the Evoque RS Pro has a strong sense of ritual when watching the electric slide cover open. The slide cover adopts the sound box cover design, which looks more integrated when it is closed. If it is not a projector, it may even be a suspended sound box, but let alone, the sound quality of the Evoque RS Pro is really good, which will be described in detail below.
The design of the remote control is also relatively simple, and the functions of the buttons are relatively simple and clear. Voice recognition and auto focus are commonly used.
The power interface is on the left rear of the fuselage, and the power key is above the power interface.
There are heat sink ports and various interfaces on the back of the fuselage. From left to right, they are: network cable interface, two HDMI interfaces, HDMI 1 supports ARC, two USB 2.0 interfaces, and one 3.5mm audio interface.
I am very satisfied with the overall design of Evoque RS Pro. The simple design and strong metal texture show the temperament of a high-end product, which will not be abrupt at home. It is more like a work of art, and can also improve the aura.
Picture quality: 4K -- "Unstoppable"
After looking at the appearance, let's talk about the most concerned problem about the projector - image quality. First, I can put forward my conclusion that the image quality of Aurora RS Pro really subverted my impression of the image quality of the projector. The 4K image quality is really shocking. Next, let's discuss the 4K image quality of Aurora RS Pro.
Before talking about the image quality, let's talk about the initial experience of using Aurora RS Pro. The distance and angle from the projection surface will be automatically monitored when you start up. Of course, you can also press the auto focus button on the remote control. At present, Aurora RS Pro is equipped with full screen auto focus technology, and the focusing speed is measured quickly. Even if you need to move the projector frequently, you can quickly reuse it, It's quite convenient. Generally speaking, the whole experience is relatively simple and very easy to use. It can basically be started up and used without any learning cost.
This time, Aurora RS Pro uses the processor of TV chip manufacturer MStar, which has a powerful 4K video decoding capability. At the same time, Aurora RS Pro also adopts TI 4K DLP imaging scheme, and is equipped with a 4K analytic lens with high quality, which shows a true 4K resolution. The light source brightness is 4900 lumens. Even in the daytime, it has a good performance. The book parameters can be said to be very powerful, but we just talk without practicing fake tricks. Let's look at the test pictures directly.
It needs to be noted here that the effect of the real picture and the actual scene may be slightly different. In the resolution test picture, the summary is one word - sharp, really sharp. The small words on the edge and various details are very clear. If you looked at the 1080P projector before, there will be a significant gap after 4k, This kind of feeling is like the gap between a nearsighted person who never wears glasses and one who wears glasses; The performance in color restoration, visual angle, and tone restoration level is also at the mainstream level, but what is impressive is the image quality, which is unstoppable.
The following is a 4k picture display
In addition, the aurora RS Pro uses a 1.25 times zoom lens, with a projection ratio of 1.2 to 1.5, which can achieve lossless picture scaling and maintain 4K image quality at all times of projection. No matter how the scene is changed or the position is changed, the fineness of the picture projected by the aurora RS Pro is still old and very high, which is worth praising, Because some projectors on the market now use digital zoom to adjust the image size, which will cause the loss of pixels and reduce the display effect.
Next is 4K video playback test
It has to be said that the visual experience of 4K resolution is self-evident. After seeing it, it is really hard to go back. As we all know, Jimi has always had its own characteristics in projection technology, and has accumulated its own experience in image quality technology. Finally, a unique X-VUE image quality engine of Jimi was formed, with three built-in systems: sharp enhancement, true color restoration, and pure noise reduction, In the actual experience, we can also feel that the performance is good, whether it is clarity, color, or noise reduction.
When I watch videos with Aurora RS Pro, I find that they are much smoother, especially the pictures of some motion scenes. Here I have to mention another technology of Aurora RS Pro - 4K level global MEMC motion compensation technology, which is popularly known as frame compensation. We know that most videos we see on the Internet are 24 to 25 frames, There is certainly no problem with this daily viewing, but if it is easy to see jitter and tailing when playing some high-speed moving pictures, a more intuitive analogy is that when playing Glory of the King, the difference between high frame rate and non opening is obvious.
The method of Aurora RS Pro is to judge the changes of dynamic pictures through the picture frame prediction algorithm+frame generation algorithm, calculate the picture changes between two frames, and automatically generate intermediate frames. Through this frame insertion method, the content with low frame rate will become the video with higher frame rate. It solves the jitter and tailing of high dynamic pictures and greatly increases the smoothness of moving pictures.
In addition, since the Aurora RS Pro uses a 4K i-Chips professional image processing chip, the MEMC motion compensation function can still be achieved even in the case of side projection.
Audio: listen, wonderful
Visually, our eyes are satisfied, but in the sense of hearing, the Aurora RS Pro is also riveted. This time, the original audio of Harman Carton customized by Aurora RS Pro adopts the design of 55mm dual NdFeB rare earth speakers, and is equipped with NBR two-way bass diaphragm and super 400CC large sound chamber.
The hardware is full of sincerity, but the main thing is to receive the goods by ear. Because the sound quality is still metaphysical, so roughly speaking, the subjective sense of hearing of the writer is: first, the middle and high frequency performance is good, the middle and high frequency performance is very stable, and the high frequency is not harsh. In terms of low frequency, there is a certain amount, but for the author, there is not enough. If you can have more, it would be good, However, Sheng has a wide sound field and a strong three-dimensional sense. The author believes that listening to some popular songs and classical symphonies is suitable, and watching videos or movies everyday is a good experience.
In order to make better use of the sound quality of Aurora RS Pro, the system has added an audio and picture magic screen, which supports global voice search. It is much more convenient to search songs. The interface of the audio and picture magic screen is full of artistic style. It feels like hanging a record cover on the wall, which is very comfortable.
There are three kinds of background options in the music and painting magic screen: artistic lyrics, dynamic spectrum, and album cover. On the remote control, there is also an independent music and painting magic screen button. In addition, with the above-mentioned X-Remote controller, you can rotate the knob to adjust the volume and select a song. The texture of rotation is really great, and the experience of pairing can be said to complement each other.
Aurora RS Pro also has built-in music mode and movie mode. The actual listening sense is that the sound is more concentrated and transparent in music mode, while the movie mode is more inclined to a wide sound field and three-dimensional sense, and the sound is more wrapped.
System: smooth, easy to use and practical
In terms of system, the aurora RS Pro is equipped with the GMUI 3.5 system, and the OTA will be upgraded to 3.6 in the first ten days of October. GMUI is very smooth in daily use and quick in response. Jimi AI voice interaction is also sufficient to deal with the basic functions such as basic search videos. The operation is also very user-friendly and there is no major problem. Jimi AI voice will also test voiceprint recognition. For example, children's voiceprints can enter child mode, and child mode 2.0 will also be updated in the future. In terms of content, Integrating more than ten content platforms, there are basically all mainstream platforms. In general, GMUI is an easy to use and practical system.
summary
In fact, in the past, whenever I mentioned the projector, there was always a word in my mind. When I experienced the Aurora RS Pro, the impression also disappeared. When I saw the pictures cast by the Aurora RS Pro, I understood the true meaning of the picture quality. The 4K picture quality brought by the Aurora RS Pro really surprised me, The viewing experience that the projector brings to people is by no means that TV can bring. Of course, there is no comparability between the two. Admittedly, the Aurora RS Pro is a very excellent projector and deserves the title of Pro. It has done a very good job in terms of picture quality, sound quality, and practicality. If you are considering starting a projector in the near future, Then Aurora RS Pro is worth recommending.
