The development of LED light sources makes miniaturization and intelligentization of projectors possible. Cool music is a member of this wave. After several generations of product change, the X6/X6C generation has an integrated metal body, ultra-thin design within 20mm, smart hardware based on Android, and highlights of features such as electric focus trapezoidal correction. However, there is a difference in the display effect and use experience between a micro-projection with a nominal luminous flux of 170 lumens and commercial projectors with a capacity of 3,400 lumens. The answers will be given in this article.
1. Appearance
| Out of the box |
The X6C uses a white pull-out package that is simple and elegant overall. The version received this time is X6C Elite Edition. Compared to the X6C Standard Edition, the difference is that the brightness is increased from 130 lumens to 170 lumens, and the HDMI interface and TF card slot are added.
Open the package, you can see the projector body, accessories are placed in a small box alone around.
Included accessories include: power cord, charger and remote control. The power supply specification is 19V/2.1A and the output power is 40W. Although the remote control is only plastic material, but the surface has a drawing work, I feel pretty good.
The body of the X6C is machined from an aluminum alloy CNC. At first glance, there are two feelings: First, Founder, and second, exquisite. However, looking at it for a while, it found that the industrial atmosphere was thicker and lacked layering or aesthetic design.
The X6C's interfaces are arranged behind the fuselage and are respectively: TF card slot (hidden in the heat vent), HDMI port, 2 USB ports, audio output port, power jack, remote control receiving port and power button. Among them, the right USB interface can also be used as a mobile power outlet to charge other devices; the power button is versatile. Short press to start the mobile power function; press and hold for a long time; press and hold for a long time in the power on state.
Both sides of the X6C are equipped with such cooling vents, with a small fan hair dryer. Of course, the amount of heat is far worse than that of commercial projectors. However, it may be due to its compact design. Some circuit components can be seen from the heat sink.
The bottom of the X6C is flat and is also equipped with a tripod mount for easy fixing of the projector.
Compared to Panasonic's commercial projectors, the X6C is like a white rabbit.
The metal feel of the X6C and the feel of a plastic shell projector are also different and seem more capable and modern.
The X6C can even fit into my eight-inch flat protective holster, which is very convenient for carrying out.
The X6C uses an RGB LED light source. Although the elite version is in my hand, the ANSI lumens value is only 170 lumens. To be honest, I was more aggressive when I saw this parameter. Because the lumen value of commercial projectors is generally 3,000 or more. How exactly does this show? Try to know. Insert a sentence here, familiar with high-power LED lighting friends should know that in this area, the virtual standard brightness is a relatively common phenomenon. I saw that there are thousands of lumens in other brands that are also doing LED micro-projections. I don't say good or bad, but it is recommended to pay attention to friends, do not look at advertising to see the effect.
| Brightness performance |
2 meters distance, daytime + light: normal cloudy weather + fluorescent lighting, projection to the white wall, the color is very dim, can not be used.
2 meters distance, daytime + light + pull curtain: barely usable, but still feel dim, the picture and video look and feel are not good. (The third part of the picture is taken in this condition)
2 meters distance, night + table lamp: basic available, normal color.
2 meters distance, night + off lights: bright colors, brightness enough.
Through the comparison of the daytime, nighttime, with lights and without lights, it can be concluded that the brightness performance of the X6C can only meet the normal display at night with no light or a small amount of light. If used during the day, turn off the lights, pull the curtains, and use all means to create a darkroom environment.
| Sharpness |
The resolution of the X6C is 854580, and the subtitles and operating interface text are clearly visible when the movie is played normally. However, when large sections of text appear, you can feel the ambiguity caused by insufficient resolution. Therefore, I would like to use the X6C to process text reading.
3. Interactive experience
The X6C has a built-in smart operating interface based on a quad-core processor and Android 4.4. From this point of view, you can also think of the X6C as an Android projection tablet.
|Basic operation|
When you turn on the power for the first time, you need to initialize the wifi connection to enter the final interface.
After the initialization is complete, you can enter an interface optimized for large screens, similar to the TV box. However, the use of the interface to complete the general feeling of this interface: First, the firmware ota upgrade progress bar does not go; then the left of the wonderful recommended point into the no response.
I can download related applications in my application.
The rightmost other column can set the machine options, play local videos, or configure the phone to play in the same screen.
| Play Experience |
The X6C flagship concept is mobile and portable playback. Considering its resolution, it should mainly be playing video. Therefore, we will elaborate on this application scenario.
There are three ways to play video on the X6C, which are: online video; local storage and playback; mobile phones play on the same screen.
In terms of online video, X6C has a built-in CIBN and two affiliate APPs. Due to the adoption of the Android operating system, the X6C can also install various Android boxes, live streaming, and website clients.
Use the built-in today's simulcast app to see the news flow smoothly.
In terms of local video, the built-in file manager of the X6C system can search and play various video of the internal 8G storage, TF card, and U disk inserted into the camera body, and the compatibility is good.
On the mobile phone side, X6C supports iOS's Airplay and Android's Miracast, DLNA protocol. Can support the vast majority of mainstream mobile phones on the market to push mobile phone content to the projector output.
This article uses the Android system's Meizu MX4, using the Miracast protocol with the screen push, you can easily put the phone display content is pushed to the projection output.
At this point, using a mobile phone to play video, the projection can also be played synchronously, and the sound is also broadcasted by the built-in 2W speaker of the X6C. However, the speaker sound is relatively thin, you can also add a better sound or headphones according to the use of scenes.
4. Summary
Through half a month's use, especially during the Spring Festival, it plays movies and videos at home, and has a deeper understanding of this small, portable but very promising miniature projector. I think that it is different from traditional projector positioning as an output device, and it is more like a smart terminal device that can deliver content anywhere, anytime. It can not be compared with the traditional commercial projector in projection brightness, there are big differences in the application. It is more suitable for young people, at home in the evening, through a projection to see a movie or brush the US drama, or at the party conveniently stored photos and conferences in the mobile phone for everyone to enjoy. Is this a product that you need?
