The combination of smart speakers without screen TV: Not only is the Z5 not only higher brightness

In the new 2017 lineup of Kamitsu, the newly developed “Z5” based on the WXGA (1280×800) specification and having a 1000 lumen high-brightness index is a model with a high degree of interest. In particular, it uses a relatively unique "projection + smart speaker" two-in-one design ideas, in the field of similar non-screen TV is quite rare.

Take a look at the main features of Z5:

1. The brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens is achieved on a compact body, and the viewing experience in a bright environment is further improved;

2. Built-in Harman Kardon speaker; strengthens the function of independent as a smart speaker; can quickly switch WiFi and Bluetooth speaker mode by pressing a key.

3, significantly increased the boot speed, daily manipulation of the interactive fluency is also further optimized; intelligent software and hardware configuration and high-end machine on par.

4, using a fully automatic electric lens cap, usually effective protection of the lens; the lens also uses the Corning Gorilla's tempered glass head, optical performance is more optimized;

Look at some important performance parameters of Z5:

Highest brightness 1000 ANSI lumens, Contrast 3000-5000:1, Projection ratio 1.2:1 (front projection), Supports ±45 degree rectangular correction for horizontal and vertical directions, Manual focusing; Part of smart host is Mstar 6A838 Cortex-A53 Quad 64-bit 1.7GHz processor, 2G memory + 16G flash memory, USB 3.0 expansion support; operating noise

For the micro-projection products, the performance of the Z5 in the most critical indicator - brightness has reached the high level of similar products; the configuration of the smart host is also equal to the configuration of the mainstream smart TV. But can the design concept of "smart speaker + projection" ultimately allow the Z5 to achieve a level of quality and sound quality that is not inferior to that of a dedicated product? Let's take a look at the specific performance of the Extreme Z5.

1, appearance

The appearance of the Z5 is very similar to that of the flagship H1S. Although the overall shape is a more traditional cube, due to the excellent texture of the metal, the sense of quality and technology are very good.

The physical size of the Z5 is 15.8cm x 16.9cm x 11.2cm, but it is not difficult to find that comparing with the iPhone 7P, the actual size of the Z5 is actually not large, and the space occupied on the coffee table is only about the size of a conventional tray. Space requirements are not very high.

The lens cover is changed to electric control, which automatically turns on/off when the machine is turned on and on, which makes the lens protection more comprehensive.

Z5's body details, although the overall shape is more traditional, but the various parts of the material is clearly after careful selection, texture is great, and you can see the various parts of the workmanship are very fine, although not the flagship product, but work Did not shrink at all.

The projection ratio of the Z5 is 1.2:1. It can project a large-screen image without too much distance when it is being projected. For example, in a typical small-sized living room, a common distance of 2 meters (the coffee table to the wall) can project approximately 80 inches. Left and right screens, so that the user sees the screen at a viewing distance of 2m 5 has a perspective similar to the back of a movie theater. Using “non-screen theater” to describe it is not too much.

Z5's terminal configuration, together with the complete wireless functions such as Bluetooth and WIFI, should be absolutely sufficient for the terminal.

The Z5's remote control is a standard Bluetooth multi-function remote control (the same as the flagship H1S remote control). In addition to supporting voice input, the Z5's focus can also be achieved through this compact remote control. The entire remote control is quite gorgeous in texture and feels great and accurate. Compared with many Internet TV remote controls, it is even better.

The Z5's power supply is large, which is the only place people feel sorry for.

2, picture quality

Brightness has always been a “pain point” that confuses the use of projection products. It is also an important indicator of micro-projection to distinguish performance levels (to some extent, it is more important than resolution). At present, micro-projection products have very little brightness of more than 1000 lumens. From this point of view, the Z5 does have a clear advantage.

Brightness performance of Z5 in a room without lights during the day

This is a very bright Z5 picture, 2 meters projection distance, ordinary white latex paint wall, although the picture is affected by the ambient light, but it can still easily identify the picture.

Z5 brightness performance in rooms without lights at night

The following is a picture of the Z5 projected on a normal white latex wall in a dark environment.

Summarize the characteristics of Z5's image quality:

1, the entire screen brightness distribution is more uniform.

2. When projecting a large size, the sensation of the lattice of the picture is also hardly noticeable.

3, the color temperature is relatively high, the color style is more refreshing, unlike the traditional projection screen tends to warm.

4. When the WXGA resolution is about 80 frames, the sharpness of the screen is roughly equivalent to the effect of most online video “high-definition”. Although there is no sharpness of 1080P and 4K screens, it provides a cinematic perspective and the actual perception is still can.

5. Use 1080P or even 4K signal sources as much as possible. At this time, the sharpness of the Z5 will obviously be much better than when playing online video (even with extremely clear specifications).

6, the level of the dark part of the screen is not bad, but in the more extreme cases, the dark part of the screen lost details and levels of the situation is still difficult to avoid.

3, System & Application

The smart part of Z5 is Mstar 6A838 Cortex-A53 quad-core 64-bit 1.7GHz processor, 2G memory +16G flash memory, this configuration is very mainstream configuration even on Internet TV; content is Z5 main platform uses Mango TV , But you can also install the sofa butler, and then install third-party APP to watch the content of iQiyi platform.

The mainstream popular movie and TV dramas are available. In fact, due to changes in the copyright distribution mode of domestic Internet audio and video content, the difference in content between broadcast and control platforms is no longer as great as it was a few years ago, especially in TV dramas and movies. The number of broadcasts on a single platform is decreasing.

However, Mango TV still has a good exclusive advantage in variety entertainment programs. Many popular variety shows are not visible on other platforms.

Voice features are not limited to finding videos

Mandarin recognition rate is extremely high

Like the high-end model, the Z5 also provides voice recognition capabilities. The user can quickly search for video programs through a voice remote controller. With the same engine as the flagship model, the voice recognition accuracy and speed are good.

4, speaker function

Another feature of the Z5 is the sound mode. When you do not need to do video output, you can use it as a background speaker in the corner of the desktop.

The audio display mode does not work and the light strip can play a certain role

But it is still most convenient to use the matching APP. It is very easy to find songs and create song lists.

The mobile phone can also be easily connected via the Bluetooth mode, playing music through more third-party platforms

The Harman Kardon horns used by the Z5 perform relatively well in the mid-to-low frequencies. When playing pop music, JAZZ, etc., you can get a relaxed and flexible listening experience; and whether it is used as a Bluetooth connection or an APP-controlled WIFI. Mode is more convenient.

Harman Kardon's speakers have better results when playing JAZZ and pop music

● Evaluation summary

If you look at the projection technology itself and look at the Z5, it is no different from the mainstream smart TV in the market, whether it is the UI system, content, application scalability, or voice recognition capability. It is smooth and mainstream.

The diversified audio modes are worthy of praise for the Z5, especially after using Harman Kardon's speakers. Whether watching a movie or guest playing a smart speaker, the sound quality and convenience are no better than those of professional smart speakers.

Of course, as a projection product, the Z5's biggest feature is that it can project a large picture far beyond the LCD TV at a closer distance, and after enhancing the brightness performance, the Z5's adaptability to the environment is even better: an ordinary white latex paint wall Can achieve a good effect; use some background light sources in the room at night does not cause serious interference to the picture. And because of the reflected light, the eyes are more comfortable to see for a long time.

In many people's minds, products with multiple functions tend to fall into the "what functions do, but they don't have any mastery", but the Z5 does a combination of two functions, "projection + smart speaker," for a 3000 What's more to be expected from the diversified one-hundred-seven lumen micro-casts?
