Projection industry cannon! How to wake up the ritual of life ceremony

Micro-whales have successively launched several types of micro-projects such as K1 and F1, and they have achieved a good reputation in the market. Not long ago, the microwhale launched the most compact 1080P full-HD projector - M1, compact body, full HD picture quality performance, let the author has a strong interest in it.

Compact body, high value

The first is the unpacking section, as always, the micro-whale style, simple and stylish, there is no extra decoration on the gray cube box. There is only the English whale's logo, the tiny whale's whale, and the octagonal print of a product. This is the protagonist of this experience, an octagonal projector. Open the package, its internal protection design and previous micro-whale products are exactly the same, I will not go into details here.

The biggest image of the Microwhale M1 is my small size, which is basically the footprint of a small book, and the octagonal design allows it to take up less space on the desktop. In the body color, it uses a combination of silver and platinum gold, noble and elegant coexistence, whether placed at home or go out to carry, micro whale M1 can give you enough. After all, this is a product that has won the Gold Award for Good Design in China.

This projector uses a full-body metal wrapper, which is polished in detail and combines art and technology perfectly. It is worth mentioning that this is also the industry's first pure metal aluminum shell using a large area of ​​sandblasting process, integrated molding process, fully enclosed design. At the corners, the micro whales are treated with a 45° cut to make the edges more natural. The front two lenses are treated with brushed metal, highlighting the fine craftsmanship and creating a good visual aesthetic.

The FullHD logo is also printed on the front, which means this projector supports 1080P quality output. It uses TI's latest 1080P DLP technology, 8.38mm DMD digital micromirror array display, can achieve FHD high-definition picture reduction with a smaller size. And also has a coated high transmittance sealed glass lens, wear and scratch resistance, you can wipe it with cotton in your life, always keep the lens clean, do not let the dust affect your viewing experience. Micro whale M1 is also equipped with a professional high-sensitivity camera next to the lens, so this projector supports 1 second auto focus and vertical trapezoidal correction, random movement can also be achieved immediately clear, 360 degrees up and down casually vote, the operation is more convenient and quick.

The first use of the octagonal design of the micro whale M1, which has a good help for the placement and cooling of the projection, to avoid the desktop when the cooling outlet is placed, exclusive design vortex and open axial fan cooling System, multi-point cooling fins, provide protection for noise reduction and heat dissipation. The octagonal design, whether you put it upside down or 45° tilt, it can maintain a stable shape, put it on the wall, ceiling, etc., and you don't have to worry about whether the projection screen can focus, Whether there is distortion, because it can automatically correct and one-second focus function, can meet the needs of almost any scene of use.

This time, the micro whale has designed the interface and speakers on both sides of the fuselage so that it does not affect the placement of the octagon. One side is a large speaker. On the other side, besides the speaker, it also has a switch button, a power interface, and a protective baffle under the interface of practicality such as Audio, HDMI2.0, USB3.0, etc., which can be used when not in use. The baffle hides it so that it does not have to destroy the integrity of the whole machine.

There are four feet and a standard 1/4 screw connector on the bottom, as well as some technical indications, as well as the type and power markings.

In addition to the mainframe, there is a power adapter cable and a Bluetooth voice remote control.

A number of black technology help projection effect

Buying a projector, besides being portable, is a requirement for the quality of the picture. Especially in today's high-definition video sources, there is not a high-definition picture quality. Micro whale M1 has 1080P true color full HD, resolution of 1920X1080, 2 million pixels breakthrough four major imaging technologies, including ** DCI-P3 Hollywood wide color gamut standard, sharp color management engine, HDR10 image decoding technology, optomechanical optimization Wait.

The micro whale projection M1 is the first projection product that uses the A73 architecture 64-bit multi-core processor. Its performance is better than most of the products on the market. This is one of the reasons for its smooth playback of high-definition video sources. For Mali450, 4K video can be decoded, 2GB of storage, and 8GB of storage are at the top level of this price range.

From the sample test chart below, the 1080P M1 has really strengthened a lot in terms of detail performance. This is the advantage brought by high-definition resolution, in the details of the vehicle, the convergence of the parts, the texture of the headlights, the tires The lines are clearly visible. Let's take a look at its "DCI-P3 Hollywood wide color gamut standard" performance. From the actual shooting pictures, the M1 put out the first picture of the picture is not bad, in addition to its high-definition display, but also thanks to The performance of the wide color gamut is full of red, transparent gray, and distinct layers.

In the control of the overall picture color, the performance of the micro whale micro-projection M1 is indeed impeccable. Whether it is a complex scene or a solid color background, as long as it is projected on a white wall, it can basically give you a solid LCD screen. which performed.

Look at this one really making a proof, the screen's layering performance is not even better! The author also tried to use it to play some 4K video, the video played smoothly, there was no Caton, if you still want to further abuse him, drag the progress bar is no problem. M1 supports the HDR10 standard, so playing HDR movies is even better on the screen.

When used during the day, the whale M1 displayed slightly lower brightness than the previous F1. This is caused by differences in lumens, but viewing in a dark environment, the brightness difference between the two can be ignored. The Micro Whale M1 has two distinct competitive advantages. One is 1080P HD video output, and the other is a large-sized projection area.

In the actual playback, the noise control and fever control of the micro-whale micro-projection M1 is also within a good range. Quiet night is played, basically only the audio output in the video, no other noise doping. Due to its unique octagonal design, even if it is tilted, it can be displayed on the wall through the trapezoidal correction screen without distortion.

The immersive viewing experience for users must be a screen that does not look "marginal." The tiny whale M1 can project a 60-300 inch screen display. Even if a large area image (150 吋 or so) is projected, its brightness and color are not significantly attenuated, and the screen restoration still performs well. The author gives everyone a real picture of the imaging performance under dark light conditions, and everyone can use it as a reference. The overall imaging performance of the Micro Whale M1 is still good, especially in color saturation, contrast, and dynamic restoration. The display color is accurate and full-bodied, and the picture has no sense of drag and drop.

Although this projection is small, it is equally good in terms of sound quality. Its internal use is a fully-enclosed panoramic sound dual-speaker system independently developed by Microwhale. It is made of imported sheepskin mixed-material paper cone material, and fully enclosed speaker structure, internal Filled with high-density fiber sound-absorbing cotton damping, it has a sound effect on the small body. Supports DTS & Dobby dual decoding, combined with DTS professional-level sound more extensive frequency response range, psychoacoustic space imaging technology professional acoustics expert tuning, widening the stereo field, so that people intoxicated in the quality of sound quality. The actual experience of sound effects is really good, and you can completely save money with professional speakers.

Of course, having such a good sound performance cannot be wasted. In addition to normal projection use, it can also be used as a smart speaker. Users can set it up, but also support wifi, Bluetooth and other devices to play, you can also connect through Airplay.

The author of wireless screencast will not talk about it here, after all, this function may be used by many people. In the agreement, the Micro Whale M1 supports Airplay, DLNA, and Miracast, basically satisfying all mobile devices that can be projected.

Good resources are better points of competition

The advantages of micro-whales are not only in terms of hardware, but also in terms of system and content, and they have obvious advantages over other products on the market. WUI2.0, based on the Android system has been deeply optimized, waterfall stream home design more concise, flat design style throughout, through custom preferences can also achieve custom push, memory playback, etc., support for panoramic VR playback and multi-application installation. At the same time, it is also based on big data and artificial intelligence to realize the experience of thousands of people. The user can use the voice button of the Bluetooth remote control to talk with the Micro Whale M1 to achieve the content that the voice search wants to see. The screen effect is to be adjusted or the projection and audio modes are switched. Just say “Focusing” and “Projection” and “Sound”. You can also watch the movie "barrage" while watching movies.

In terms of content, Miniature Whale Project relies on the strong production capabilities of Chinese culture to integrate high-quality video platform resources at home and abroad, including Tencent video, BBC, TVB, Super League, and British Nick's high-end children's platform, as well as an exclusive panoramic VR channel. Should be regarded as the most comprehensive product of domestic resources. This is the same as the resources of the Little Whale TV, so I no longer emphasize it one by one.

to sum up:

The projector can be described as a pure metal aluminum extrusion shell body with many advantages in a single, large area sandblasting process, stylish and exquisite; octagonal unique shape is capable of any scene; 1080P true color full HD picture Quality output and a variety of quality black technology to ensure a clearer and more detailed picture quality performance; professional speaker system provides high-quality sound; equipped with a professional high-sensitivity camera, one-second focusing and trapezoidal correction, user-friendly and convenient use; The powerful film library and artificial intelligence voice give it great advantages in the market. The only thing that can make you pick something wrong is that the body color can't be chosen. It may be a little regrettable for users who prefer bright colors. Having said so much, this projection value is not worth buying. It is estimated that you have a clear understanding of it.
