To the rise of non-screen smart TVs, many domestic smart projectors also released various non-screen TVs indiscriminately! For example, nuts, divine paintings, cool music and what we will talk about in the following meters technology! At the end of 2015, no The screen TV's denominator Zimi Technology released the third important product of the year: the Z4 Aurora Polaris, this Z4 Aurora Polaris is defined in the creation of home imax-class cinema projection! At home can also enjoy cinema-quality viewing experience . 300-inch projection size, the appearance of the classic record player, Harman Kardon audio system, the use of Germany's Osram light source, life expectancy up to 30,000 hours, projection screen support around trapezoidal correction, and Mango TV reached a strategic cooperation, with more content, can be ordinary 2D is converted to a 3D image, and the computer and mobile screen can be synchronized at any time, making entertainment sharing and conference presentation easier. What about the performance of the Aurora Z4 without screen TV? Let's experience it!
The Z4 Aurora No Screen TV is more luxurious than the previous 2 products or similar products in the packaging or accessories! In addition to the design on the special packaging, the packaging material is also very solid, giving a Stable and generous feeling!
The theme of Z4 Aurora without screen TV is to interpret around the word Aurora! Therefore, at the front of the package, everyone will see a colorful ring! Under the light, it will be like the aurora shining.
Mimi (XGIMI) Z4 Aurora High Definition Home Projector 3D Home Theater Projector Without Screen TV
Different from previous products, the Z4 Aurora No Screen TV is no longer wearing young and fashionable colors. Instead, it adopts the color style of black + local gold, and adopts a three-stage folding design in the package opening mode. Each section of the plate is provided with a silk rope to facilitate the user's opening, which is also one of the points of human performance, and there is a gilding process on the surface of each plate, printing the product. Small icons, after opening, will be able to more intuitively know what is contained in the plate.
Arranged from left to right, the leftmost is the added active shutter 3D glasses, a total of 2 pairs, worth almost 400 yuan, in the middle is the main character of this time no screen TV Z4 Aurora host, which in the Aurora host There is also an adapter plate, manual and warranty card below. At the same time, there is a VIP card of Mango TV on the middle cover, and a remote control and power adapter for the Z4 Aurora is placed on the right side. In fact, you carefully calculated this one. You will find that the Aurora accessories are almost 1000 yuan.
With the added value of 720 yuan for 24 months, Mango TV members can allow users to see more popular high quality movies. In 2 years, do you worry about not having new movies?
In addition to the main body of the Aurora this time, its supporting multi-functional Bluetooth remote control also deserves an Oscar! The first time you saw the remote control of Aurora is thin, slender, and it feels a kind of exquisite feeling of matte. The cold metal, which may be related to its use of integrated aluminum-magnesium alloy material.
The built-in Aurora remote control has a built-in lithium battery and provides a USB power cord for charging. If you find that the remote control's indicator light flashes red, then the remote control's power is low! You need to charge it in time and pick up the data cable at one end. Remote control, one end is connected to the USB interface of the Z4 Aurora host, so the Z4 Aurora is not equipped with a USB power adapter.
The Aurora remote control uses 12 key design, from top to bottom are the key (with LED status lights), voice key, menu key, direction key and confirmation key, home key, return key and the bottom volume plus/minus key ( Focus focus function), do not think this is just an ordinary projection remote control, this projection of Aurora can be completed without four-corner Bluetooth remote control, electric focus, voice control, flying mouse, gravity sensor and other functions. The elderly children can easily through the voice function Controlled, game players can also put down the phone, go to giant screen projection to experience the gravity remote control game! A charge can stand for six months, automatic lithium battery environmental protection and thin!
The bottom of the remote control is from the left to the right of the reset button, the USB charging interface, and the Focus button. Speaking of the Focus button, it plays an important role. When the paddle is on the left side, the user can add the remote control. Lower key adjusts the focus. If you move the paddle to the right, the remote control will turn off the volume key's focus function! Change back to the volume addition and subtraction function. Polar meter with this kind of electric focusing function in the actual experience is indeed better than The traditional roller focusing is more accurate and convenient!
Aurora remote control uses a concentric hard film material for the large contact area, and fewer buttons use soft buttons, so you will find that you can feel 2 different clicks in a remote control. For example, the key, voice key, and menu key, which are the keys of the 3 keys, are flexible. The middle direction keys and the volume keys are relatively rigid. The keystrokes are deep.
If this is a projector, then I think it is more like a retro record player. In fact, this design style has long been produced in the series Z4X, so this time the Aurora is in style. It doesn't change much. It has a rectangular shape of 196mm x 196mm x 50mm. The whole machine weighs 1.2KG. It's a home theater projector, but it is also very suitable for carrying out (but you need a DC socket to supply power.) )
Like the Z4X, the top of the aurora preserves the design of the black plastic disc, and the middle one is decorated with a touch screen! The overall product texture is improved, and the other thing to notice is that the touch screen in the middle can be pressed for 5 seconds. Allows the machine to switch machine or short press start music playback and suspension.
In the concentric black plastic disc, you will find many thin tracks, which can really imitate the traditional record player! The technology-friendly projector is easier to integrate with the home, unconsciously from the product Become a work of art. Although this design will make the entire product retro nostalgia, but because of the track is a gap, so it will inevitably lead to dust accumulation for a long time. Cleaning is estimated that you need to use a sweep or blow! The side of the black plastic disc will have a stainless steel bar like a hairpin. This is a characteristic sensor of the black plastic disc. It is the status light of the projector. Secondly, it is a gesture sensor. We can use vinyl again. On the top of the disc, control the volume of the aurora projector plus or minus or switch songs by clockwise or counterclockwise gestures!
Using gestures is a very stressful thing. When relatives and friends come to visit your home, you use the Z4X Aurora to play movies or music for them. If you don't use a remote control, you can easily touch the aurora. You can switch between interfaces or music! Uninformed people still think you are remote control!
Is the switch sensitive? It is indeed very sensitive, the reaction time is probably between 2-3 seconds, switching time should not be too high to lift the handle, try to make the hand around the top of the fuselage 4cm, about 8cm operation.
The Z4 Aurora and Z4X projector's projection port is the same, regardless of size or layout are exactly the same, in which the lens dust cover can be opened or closed by left and right dial! A bit bizarre is that the dust cover will start the machine, but close Will not affect the normal operation of the machine? Simply put, the Z4 Aurora does not shut down when you close the dust cover. Is this a bug or a hardware design issue?
The Z4 Aurora's projection range can reach up to 300 inches! However, practical applications are difficult to use. The Z4 Aurora lens adopts a light-transmitting coating lens and Germany's Osram LED light source. The official said that the lens life can use 30,000 hours. If you insist on using 10 hours every day, you can use it for 8 years. In fact, this is just a single hardware life and Does not represent all the hardware! And the life of a product should also be combined with the software life and hardware life! So the polar meter Z4 Aurora can be used for 8 years, I can not give you a sure! But can guarantee is the sale of the pole meter To force - not to mention 8 years after the technology is already high, maybe at that time you have used another high-tech projection of the meter!
Z4 Aurora adopts the new S8 optical engine dual optical design technology! Relative to other similar products used in the domestic 0.45 projector is slightly higher than the brightness of 30%, and in the case of 600 brightness, the Aurora will have Better projection effect than the previous generation of Z4X is a good level, some people will ask me! Then I choose Z4X or Z4 Aurora? I recommend here to buy a new do not buy the old, even the Z4 Aurora Z4X upgrade, So, don't you try it? And there will be more accessories for Aurora, and it's more cost-effective to sell them on the basis of discounted parts! In addition, it should be noted that whether it is the Aurora or the same series of Z4X, Mango, or Z4air Support 2D to 3D function, do you still need to worry about not watching 3D movies at this time? How about the performance? We will comment below through actual experience.
The Z4 Aurora's sound effect is really good. When I first used it, I didn't know that the Aurora was equipped with the American Harman Kardon sound. As far as booting was concerned, the system would automatically play a song (prompt you to use gesture sensing toggles. Song guide), immediately listened to find that this sound quality is very comfortable, never worse than the 1000 yuan under the smart sound! I look back and see it is Harman Kardon audio! Then I also gave a few friends to listen to let them Guess the price of the sound, and their price is located between 1000 and 1700 yuan. When they were last seen, they were shocked! Because this is not a sound box but a projector!
In the end the device interface is as good as possible? Or the interface has become a burden? Extreme Z4 Aurora gives you a very clear positioning! The interface should be popular! Compatibility is good! This is the back of the polar meter Z4 Aurora. Joined the large leaf vents and a variety of interfaces, breakdown is basically some of our most commonly used interfaces, including a LAN cable interface, a USB3.0 interface, a USB2.0 interface, two HDMI interface , Power jack, AV interface, headphone jack, and RESET reset hole~ Because the Z4 Aurora built-in Bluetooth module, so the user does not need to configure Bluetooth, and also supports 2.4G and 5G network in data transmission! So there is so much The connected port Z4 Aurora is very convenient for device connection. You are a video game player or a game player. It is also handy for connecting peripherals. The minute Z4 Aurora becomes a game console or a big screen computer host!
The bottom of the pole Z4 aurora is a plastic black plate. There are some heat vents with a dust cover around the black plate. In the middle is the polar meter Z4 aurora related parameters. There is also a rotation mark (marker) directly above the black plate. There is a red hole underneath. When this hole is red, it means that the back cover is closed. If it turns green, it means that the back cover is open!) This point is still very user-friendly, at least from this small design. Allows the user to identify whether the back cover is tight, to avoid the internal hardware falling due to not tight.
There are three screws in the triangle position of the black plate! On the one hand, this screw plays the role of tightening the back cover. Second, it also plays the role of anti-slip mat. The screw does not screw the bayonet, so the user only needs to manually lock it. Yes. Oh! Right! This screw also plays the role of a fixed adapter plate. The adapter plate can be fixed on the tripod through the head, or it can be installed on the wall. The official did not give backup screws, so everyone also Should be saved.
Unscrew the back cover we see the initial internal layout of the polar meter Z4 Aurora, here is only to provide a place for the hard disk, here I will remind the user, the top of the meter Z4 Aurora system has an exit storage device Function, secondly, this card position only supports 2.5-inch notebook hard disk, desktop 3.5-inch hard disk can only be connected to external USB friends. It should be noted that the author recommends that you use a solid-state hard disk better, after all, the projector inside the fan hard disk closer, hard disk More vulnerable to fan vibration or human vibration, and the projector and hard drive will also be hot, stacked in the narrow space of these two "small heater", a short time is not a problem, for a long time it will affect the hard disk Lifetime! (I recommend using U disk instead, save money, safety)
Through some of the above products out of the box and use experience I believe we have a deep understanding of the polar meters Z4 Aurora, Aurora in the design is one of the best in the country, referred to as "shuai". 3999 yuan price to buy not only Just an Aurora host, and a bunch of accessories, this price is still very advantageous. In addition to the value of the product content and appearance, the Aurora is also a lot of effort in projecting hardware and sound quality. Say how it is configured (the actual projected comments below), according to the author and the experience with friends, it already has a very good evaluation, such as the above-mentioned hearing discrimination machine, a friend thought it was a stereo, Who knows is a projection, which shows that the sound quality of the aurora is really good. And here we come to understand the details of the polar meter Z4 Aurora system through the software. Look at what is different with our cell phone or TV.
The system of polar meters Z4 Aurora I do not intend to elaborate! I have a detailed description of another article in the author, and the following highlights of the system to explain! Look at its advantages and disadvantages. First polar Z4 Aurora The system has not changed much. It is still based on the GMUI system developed by Android 4.3. The body memory is 2G, the storage is 8G, and the actual capacity is 7.4G. Although the overall running fluency is not as good as the mobile phone, it is also better than most of the smart TV.
The following is collectively referred to as the GMUI system. There are actually two modes in this system. They are the standard mode and the business mode to be discussed below. If you use the home, the standard will prevail. In the standard mode, it is divided into movies, music, games, applications, etc. The three interfaces are mostly entertainment-oriented. There are mango TV logos and diplomatic icons at the top of the interface. The GMUI system also adds a weather and time display to the top right of the screen. Discovered a list of interfaces, this design has a better ease of operation, such as when you want to open the U disk or switch the signal channel, click on the signal channel to the left! When a friend asks? If my home No network, you can use the Aurora projector? In fact, this and the smart TV is a reason, you can display the screen! Now the set-top box is basically a high-definition set-top box, then you use an HDMI cable to access the set-top box, a received Aurora In the projection, click on the corresponding signal track. No screen TV will be displayed in front of your eyes.
In fact, most of the early projections are used in the office, and later will lead to the projector transferred from the office to the home living room, after all, are the market ah! Whether home living room or office space! Extreme meters is the main office of this convenient Sex, home cost-effective! Therefore, in addition to the home in the rice can be easily accepted, work hard in the office, very Mi GMUI system provides a business model for business people use, in this business model, a collection of 4 office The software interface is PPT, excel.word and PDF! The program is Jinshan's WPS, not the Microsoft office. If you are not familiar with WPS, you can download the Android version of Microsoft Office yourself.
The Z4 Aurora Polaris has a good PPT compatibility with the WPS. The display effect is the same as that of the computer. It is no wonder that the projector used to be used for this slide.
EXCEl's display capabilities are also very good, but not necessary to operate, suitable for viewing and not suitable for processing.
In PPT.excel. and PDF, the performance of word is the worst, and it is also very much related to the typesetting of wps.
The convenience of connecting a projector for home and office use is very important. For example, in the office, you often need to connect the company's storage devices. The GMUI system supports U disk, hard disk, and shared network files.
If you feel that inserting the storage device or wiring is too much trouble, then you may try the same-screen assistant provided by Mimi. With the same screen assistant as the official download, the user can project the screen of the computer to the Z4 Aurora. In the picture, the wireless connection between the computer and the projector is realized. This not only facilitates the use of the operation, but also makes the work more convenient! You have to deny that Microsoft's productivity is stronger than that of Android!
The GMUI system has two input methods:
The first is the input method that comes with the system! This is relatively quick to use!
The second method is to transmit text content to the GMUI system through the mobile phone terminal's screenless assistant.
This can be matched with the input of the mobile phone, the input speed is fast! But need to install the no-screen assistant additionally! No matter what kind of GMUI system is done is quite humane! It is stronger than some TVs and boxes.
Z4 Aurora no screen TV built-in office software is not complete, but wins in the self-nothing push helper push the installation package, install the software to the Aurora projector!
Too long to run, we can optimize the system speed by using the system's own key to clear the memory. I don't seem to find that we can clean it up.
The Z4 Aurora game interface is divided into sports, chess, shooting, and puzzles. The game supports search download. System search download game Zimi Aurora Z4 can run smoothly, the picture performance is good! The game inside the game does not use residual image smearing and so on. Of course, the game can not only use the watch! You can also play gravity games with Aurora's remote control! Or use the Mi assistant's remote control and keyboard assistant operation.
The Z4 Aurora system can remotely set the LED brightness. Among them, the LED brightness mode can be set to viewing mode, highlight mode, and custom mode. Users can adjust the brightness according to their own needs. . The projection method also supports four methods: positive-mounted positive projection, vertical positive projection, positive-mounted rear projection, and suspended rear projection.
Yes! The Z4 Aurora Polaris can also be trapezoidal corrected. Is it necessary to trapezoidal correction?
In fact, trapezoidal correction is divided into optical trapezoidal correction and digital trapezoidal correction.
The optical trapezoidal correction refers to the adjustment of the imaging by changing the placement position.
Digital trapezoidal correction is adjusted by software.
The vast majority of projectors use the second digital correction, what is the difference between the two? A simple summary is that optical correction can maintain the best image quality, but the physical location should be turned off! Digital trapezoidal correction will lose the image quality, But it is convenient and quick! You don't have to use optical or digital trapezoidal correction. If you don't care about the picture quality, choose digital correction. If you care about it, it's against it! Therefore, I suggest that users who care about picture quality can try to adjust the system's automatic trapezoidal correction. Off, no auto keystone adjustment will adjust the parameter to 0, so as to maximize the imaging quality of the projector by moving the physical position! (The polar Z4 aurora default is also 0!)
Stepless zoom can adjust the size of the projection display without moving the projector (less than or equal to the original frame size)
The Z4 Aurora remote control supports voice recognition. Users can use the voice to identify content according to their own needs. For example, if you say fast forward 4 seconds, backward 4 seconds, or the name of the movie, of course not only for entertainment users, but also for business people. It is also very useful, for example, resource management! Then the system will jump to the resource management interface, thereby reducing the operating time of the system, so that the operation is more efficient and convenient!
Z4 Aurora Polaris is a home movie projector, how can the content of film and television can not be less! The film area on the main interface provides users with six major resource categories for movies, television dramas, variety shows, anime, documentary, and music, and for these six Large resources for more detailed geographical or type breakdown, to meet the user's relevant search!
Collaborate with Mango TV in depth to create content-rich video and video resources, including nearly 3,000 films provided by Mango TV, over 100,000 episodes of television dramas, a total of 300,000 hours of video content, and a large-scale film and television program that maintains simultaneous updates. It's all about life, and at the same time, Mimi also comes with a Mango TV member card worth 720 yuan! Lets you enjoy exclusive membership privileges! Go to the advertisement! You don't have to watch a new movie.
Music playback is the key advantage of the Z4 Aurora No Screen TV's in the same class of products. In front of us, we have mentioned the function of Gesture Cut Song. With built-in music library, we have Baidu music support, and users can play through the product at any time. , Or close the lens cap directly and use it as a living room stereo.
There are not many 3D movies that come with it, but users can turn 2D into 3D movies, or you can convert 3D to 2D if you feel uncomfortable.
Aurora uses 16 image enhancement techniques and 11 kinds of enhancement techniques. The projected images are more colorful, the screen is more fluid and smooth, and there are 4 kinds of special technologies in the polar meters! For example, the font edges are bold and black. Brightness delay processing, brightness edge enhancement processing and dark field color compensation technology, etc. With so many technical support Aurora overall picture quality performance is remarkable! Below we also give a variety of patterns for everyone to feel about! But need to explain first Many readers see our projection sample test, pay attention to the overall effect and color performance, and actually each picture has its own unique meaning of expression, out of the sense of the screen and tone, every detail for the projection Machine performance is a good interpretation. In fact, in all colors and sample tests, we must consider the color accuracy of the output and output. There must be errors in the color of the sample, which will be affected by the camera and the color of the reader's display. At the same time, each person understands the color accurately. Different, there is no objective standard, so our comparison test is only for the user's reference, and gives the smallest error.
The picture above shows the auroral projection sample image. The picture below shows the original image.
Judging from the above-mentioned pattern, the imaging and color gamut richness of the Z4 Aurora Polaris is very good, and the picture transparency is good, but the picture is a bit cool and the red color is more accurate. It seems that this kind of technology is not bragging!
LED light source, brightness is still a bottleneck! Want to be enough for daily office or home use!
There are 2 ways to cast a screen in the Aurora Z4 Aurora. The first is the Android software to the Aurora host. The second is to screen the computer game to Aurora through the screenless software or the HDMI cable. Wireless projection requires a relatively high speed network, playing a significant sense of delay.
After trying several games, we didn't find Caton phenomenon. Some games should use an external keyboard or handle, so I suggest that everyone should create a best game scenario with a mouse and gamepad. You have to think about the Z4 Aurora. Easy to project 100-inch, used to play racing games, shooting games are cool YY said, the most terrible is that this Mi-mi mango yo can actually carry ~ go out and enjoy the game experience of the big screen! Speaking here I need to prepare several games for business trips.
The Z4 Aurora Aurora is 48-90 watts in terms of power consumption. The author also specifically tested the actual power usage and found that the daily use is maintained between 40-49 watts and 10 watts when the lights are turned off. The Thunder download mode This is: 10.8 watts. Overall it is more power efficient than a 55-inch TV!
Calculate the electricity for the author's local electricity once for 0.64 yuan - very expensive ah 0 0 in the case of the Thunder download mode, the electricity for 24 hours should be 0.16 yuan, bright screen song mode of operation for 24 hours electricity is 0.66 yuan, the whole If you play the movie 24 hours a day, it should be 0.7 yuan! If you only listen to the machine, the electricity charge for 24 hours should be 0.17 yuan! Calculate the electricity you use for one day will not exceed 1 dollar!
Extremely Z4 Aurora has a total of 11 wind speed options, which are automatically graded and graded 1-10, in which the cooling rate is proportional to the wind speed, and inversely proportional to the noise, when the wind speed is stronger, the greater the noise, the faster the heat dissipation! Under the environment (about 29 decibels), the test instrument is 8cm away from the polar meter Z4 Aurora, and the data is measured!
The noise of the polar meter Z4 Aurora is maintained within 35-57 decibels.
Class 1-3 wind speed maintains a quiet environment within 40 decibels!
Class 4-6 wind speed maintained within 50 dB!
Class 7-10 wind speed maintained within 58 decibels! Ordinary indoor conversation
The Z4 Aurora Aurora defaults to the automatic wind speed mode, and the system will automatically adjust the wind speed by the amount of heat generated by the machine. The following data show that the Z4 Aurora Polaris is very small under normal wind speed conditions and the movie is played daily. Enough to ignore!
After playing for a month or so, I have a true feeling of experience for Aurora. Now I will summarize some of the advantages and disadvantages of this Aurora in order to give you a proper purchase suggestion!

Second is that micro-projection can move in time, in fact, the white wall is the true love of micro-cast!
Thank you for being able to see here! The above is some experience after the author's experience ~ hope to help everyone buy! Now the era of no screen TV is mature enough! Many businesses have released their own projection equipment, but this popularity The rate is often not enough, and most users are still more willing to accept the traditional display equipment such as TV, presumably because there is only one, that is the price! If no screen TV projection can lower the price again, then there will be more people Accept! This Aurora projector is still reasonable at the price of 3999 yuan! Because the accessories have been worth more than 1,000, the host also more than 2,000 points, you can enjoy the home-level imax effect! Compared to similar products Aurora in The product's functionality is still at the top of the product's workmanship! Especially in the imaging quality and excellent acoustics.
