The experience below is a portable smart projector: The god draws the Z1 smart projector.


Basic configuration: to meet the smooth operation and high-definition movie playback, 8500 mAh battery, outdoor play a movie no problem

Divine drawing Z1 built-in 8500 mAh battery, under normal circumstances can meet a two hours long movie playback, configuration, Z1's CPU is: Cortex-A9 2.0GHz quad-core, GPU: Mali-450 MP6 eight core , RAM: 2G, ROM: 8G, operating system is based on Android4.4 deep custom PIQSUI, support WIFI 802.11. b/g/n protocol, 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0.


Out of the box: The package is simple, sturdy and complete

The general projectors are large and heavy, so the packaging box is also very special, and the packaging of the Z1 is surprisingly small. The size of the box is only about the same as the size of the mobile phone. It can be imagined that the machine inside should be the same. Very small.


The packaging of the whole box is still relatively simple, pure white tone, the surface does not have too many messy elements, made of hard paper skin material, the box is particularly strong, also played a good protection performance of the machine, the side of the box is written with a sentence The words "Imaginary Cinema Imagining" are endless.


The arrangement of the objects inside the box is very organized. The upper and lower layered design is used. The upper layer is the main body of the projector and the lower layer is the accessories.


Accessories are quite numerous, in addition to the main projector, there are remote controls, power adapters, data lines, HDMI HD transmission lines, manuals, warranty cards and so on.


Appearance: portable, pay attention to materials, solid workmanship

After opening the package, it was found that the machine was really compact and the size was similar to that of a dictionary. The specific dimensions were: 160mm x 98mm x 25mm and weighed 409g. This size and weight provided good portability.


In addition to the small size, the second impression of the Z1 painted by me is the use of materials and exquisite craftsmanship. The top cover of the machine is made of UV nano-column prism casted tempered glass. The texture of the optical coating process is very good. The middle frame is made of aluminum and magnesium. Alloy material, the surface was frosted, there is a sense of weight in the hands, assembly and production process is also commendable, not like the products made by the third-rate manufacturers.


The front of the middle frame has a large number of honeycomb-like grid designs with heat-dissipation holes in the middle. Looking inside, two small fans can be seen.


The divine painting Z1 has an auto-focus function, so it adopts a dual-lens design, in which the large lens is the main lens and is responsible for the image projection output, and the small lens is the sub-lens, which can monitor the screen and signal capture in real time, by monitoring each A frame of screen is synchronized and fine-tuned in the background to achieve full-autofocus.


The back of the interface is also more comprehensive, the basic common excuses are equipped, from left to right are: power, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB, TF card, HDMI, infrared receiver, indicator, power button.


The bottom four foot mats have non-slip silicone, and there are also a large number of heat-dissipation holes. Of course, the user can also install a tripod through the bottom threaded port.


The size of a dictionary is similar to that of a bottle of cola, so it is very convenient to carry it.


The remote controller (Shenbi) adopts a boxy design with a size similar to that of a conventional TV remote control. The grip is not bad. The special key is that the power button and the volume control button use a similar mobile phone layout design (designed on the side ), so the user has a certain habit of operating, reducing learning costs.


The pen's built-in 1000 mA battery, official said that the standby time can reach one month, continuous use up to 35 hours. After picking up the remote control, the blue indicator will light, and when the battery is low, the blue light will flash. At this time, it only needs to be charged through the Micro USB interface at the bottom of the stylus. This is really humanized.


The power adapter is similar to the notebook, the output is: 16V 2A, the power cord is quite long, about 4 meters long, practicality is good, but such a power adapter is actually inconvenient to carry, but also increased the weight to some extent.


System UI: Android 4.4 deep customization, simple UI, simple operation

Divinity Z1 is equipped with a customized PIQS operating system based on Android 4.4. The interface adopts a sliding screen design. The home page has only 5 pages: Cinema, Application, Input, and Settings. The overall framework is relatively clear. For initial use Users can also quickly get started. Users can expand the application by installing a sofa butler (http://).


All screens use large square icons, which are simple and straightforward. Content categories are directly displayed in the lower part of the theater interface, so users can find what they want more quickly.


The UI design of the application interface is similar to that of the Android tablet. The icon layout of 54 is used. The icon design is similar to that of the Android phone. The overall look is very clear and intuitive, and there is no strangeness in using it.


The navigation of the video content interface is also more convenient and straightforward. The left part of the interface is classified and navigated, and the right part of the interface displays the corresponding category interface. Such a framework, the user search content and the content category presentation all give an excellent experience.


The projection of the notebook is the same as that of other projectors, and the HDMI cable can be used to connect it. In addition, the Z1 also supports the wireless screen of Android and Apple devices, and supports the wireless screen technology of Airplay, Dlna and Miracast. This will allow your phone to be displayed on a larger screen.


Quality: good overall performance, high color saturation, accurate reproduction

Divine Painting Z1 uses 3LED (RGB) light source, brightness of 260ANSI lumens, dynamic contrast ratio of 5000:1, projection size 27@1m (1 meter cast 27-inch screen), theoretically maximum support 200-inch size projection, 16:9 aspect ratio, 17 million full-color, physical resolution 1280x720.


Through a few test pictures, we can see that the picture of God's painting Z1 is still good. Although the screen does not reach the 4K display effect, most of the content in the 4K test picture can still be clearly identified. Nothing compares with 4K screens, but it is no problem for non-demanding details.


There is no particular color preference for which color. Only the green color is slightly inferior. However, on the whole, the effect is not bad. Although there is not a very impressive feeling, the color reproduction is still relatively real.


Grayscale performance is quite satisfactory, most of the color blocks can be clearly identified, but the black color in the upper left corner has been mixed with the ground color, and the gray scale test is 80 points.


From the actual proofs, the results are fairly good, the color reproduction is more real, the color saturation is very high, there are some colors even more vivid than the original, the performance of the details, in the 3 meters cast about 50 inches Under the screen, a detailed look at the screen can clearly identify the contents of the local, brightness can still be used in the dark environment is very adequate, but in the daytime light is relatively gloomy.




Content resource viewing experience: cooperation with Youku, rich content, good viewing experience

In terms of video content, Divine Painting mainly cooperates with Youku Video, providing high-quality genuine resources for movies, TV dramas, variety shows, animation, education, etc. Many paid movies can be watched for free on Divine Painting Z1, while popular movies, TV shows, variety shows Etc. have also been continuously updated.


Look at the film experience is not bad, seen a few high-definition movies, if not because of speed problems, the basic does not appear Caton or jump frame and other phenomena, large-size projection, the color is still bright, the picture is clear, with a set of good When there was a loud sound, there was a fight with the movie theater experience. However, in the case of strong ambient light during the day, the brightness will still be slightly insufficient, and the projector is best used in a dark environment.


Features: Auto focus virtual touch

Automatic focusing: fast adjustment, clear and accurate

When the distance between the projector and the projection medium (wall, white screen) changes, it is necessary to readjust the focal length to obtain a clear image. This is a constant point of pain for the projector and will greatly affect the user of the portable projector. Experience.

ShenZi Z1 adopts dual-lens design. The sub-camera can monitor the picture and signal capture in real time. By monitoring each frame in the background, it is calculated and fine-tuned synchronously. When the projection distance changes, it can automatically adjust the focal length. In actual use, focusing It is very fast and generally completes within 2-3 seconds, and the images obtained after adjustment are also clear and accurate.


Virtual Touch: Some interactive operations are very efficient, and there will be "tails"

The function of virtual touch is actually available on some smart TVs. The effect is that when the remote controller points to the screen, a pointer will appear at the corresponding position, pointing to where the pointer will follow, equivalent to the operation of the finger and screen. In fact, the experience is similar to the touch screen, the biggest advantage is that typing does not have to press the cross keys to select one by one.

In practice, in addition to typing, some interactions in other aspects are also highly efficient, such as the selection of application icons and movie lists. The response speed of the pointer is very fast, but if the hand shakes more severely, it will feel moving. It will drift a little bit, and there will be a noticeable “tail” in the operation.


Summary: portable, overall good, is an excellent smart projector, but the price is not cheap

The portable Z1 is a portable, portable and compact design that is very convenient to carry around. It is easy to share the joy of watching movies outdoors with friends. At the same time, the team that needs to hold meetings at any time is also suitable for mobile work. The disadvantage is that the battery life is weaker. After playing a movie, it can't be supported for too long.

However, its design and craftsmanship are still commendable. The manufacturing process of the glass panel plus aluminum-magnesium alloy middle frame is currently a relatively rare method for projectors, and the volume can be reduced without degrading the quality and configuration of the projector. To do so small, in general, is still a good projector, in addition, autofocus and virtual touch also make Z1 more attractive, but its price is not cheap, the official website sells for: 2999 yuan.
