Warum Sie einen 4K-Projektor mit Dolby Vision benötigen

By XGIMI Tech – 2023-09 

4K-Projektor-Technologie mit einem erstaunlichen Upgrade

Projektoren haben sich im Laufe der Jahre stark verändert: von sperrigen Geräten, die bei offiziellen Anlässen oder großen Versammlungen unscharfe Bilder erzeugen, hin zu tragbaren Geräten mit einer Anzeigequalität, die den Fernseher zu Hause ersetzen kann. Mit der Einführung der 4K-Technologie in tragbaren Projektoren sind Projektoren zu zuverlässigen Geräten für die Anzeige verschiedener Inhalte geworden, und viele Menschen finden sie hervorragend. XGIMI findet ständig neue Wege, um sicherzustellen, dass sie den Nutzern die bestmögliche Qualität bieten, indem sie mit jeder neuen Version neuere, innovative Technologien einführen.

Der brandneue XGIMI HORIZON Ultra bietet unglaubliche Funktionen, die noch nie zuvor in einem 4K-Weitwinkelprojektor zu sehen waren. Dazu gehört die Dolby Vision-Technologie, die die HDR-Qualität (High Dynamic Range) verbessert und für eine atemberaubende Qualität sorgt. Ein Dolby Vision-Projektor bietet eine bessere Farbgenauigkeit, Helligkeit und Kontrast. Im Folgenden erhalten Sie einen detaillierten Einblick, wie Dolby Vision die Fähigkeiten eines Projektors auf eine Weise verbessert, die Sie sich nicht vorstellen können.

Teil 1. Dolby Vision HDR

Dolby Vision HDR ist eine verbesserte Version des Standard HDR 10:

1. Metadaten
Dolby Vision HDR verbessert die Metadaten, um dem Betrachter die bestmögliche Form von Medieninhalten zu bieten. Ob Sie nun spielen, Dias präsentieren oder einen Film mit Freunden ansehen – dank der dynamischen Metadaten erhalten Sie eine verbesserte und flüssige Darstellung. Nachdem Sie die gewünschten Medien von der Quelle übertragen haben, kümmert sich der Projektor um den Rest.

2. Helligkeit
Der XGIMI HORIZON Ultra mit Dolby Vision bietet mit 2300 ISO-Lumen ein Höchstmaß an Helligkeit. Außerdem verfügt er über die innovative Dual-Light-Technologie, die sowohl LED- als auch Laser-Lichtquellen kombiniert, um ein geniales Kinoerlebnis zu gewährleisten. Diese neue Dual-Light-Ansicht bietet Ihnen ein natürliches Farbspektrum, ultrahohe Helligkeit und eine große Farbskala für alles, was Sie gerne sehen!

3. Farbtiefe
Mit einem Dolby Vision-Projektor erleben Sie Farben auf eine ganz neue Art. Sie bieten eine größere Farbtiefe, sodass Sie verschiedene Schattierungen, Töne und Helligkeitsstufen leicht wahrnehmen können. Egal, ob Sie eine dunkle Filmszene oder eine Fernsehsendung mit maximaler Sonneneinstrahlung ansehen, Sie erhalten lebensechte Farben wie nie zuvor.

Der fantastische Kontrast, den Dolby Vision bietet, erleichtert auch die Wahrnehmung von lebensechten Bildern. Sie werden die Details von hellen oder dunklen Farben und alle Schattierungen dazwischen bei Ihren Lieblingssendungen, Spielen und Filmen genießen.

4. Dynamische Anpassungen
Herkömmliche Projektoren haben mit dem Umgebungslicht zu kämpfen, das die Bildqualität beeinträchtigt. Auch Wand- und Hindernishintergründe können die Bildqualität beeinträchtigen. Der HORIZON Ultra ist mit der neuesten Intelligent Screen Adaptation (ISA) 3.0 mit Intelligent Wall Color Adaption ausgestattet, die sich automatisch an Ihre Sichtverhältnisse anpasst. Außerdem erhalten Sie einen Megapixel-CMOS, Lichtsensormodule und 3D ToF.

ISA 3.0 ermöglicht dem Projektor eine intelligente Steuerung der Bildschirmausrichtung und der dynamischen Anpassung von Bildschirmfarbe, Helligkeit und Kontrast. Dynamische Anpassungen sorgen für unglaubliche Klarheit bei unterschiedlichen Umgebungsbedingungen oder Umgebungslicht. Das bedeutet, dass Sie immer die beste Ansicht erhalten, wenn Sie den Projektor mittags oder um Mitternacht verwenden. Tagsüber wird die Helligkeit optimiert, und Sie erhalten auch bei dunklen Filmszenen eine verbesserte Farbdarstellung. Alle Änderungen erfolgen automatisch, sodass Sie sich zurücklehnen, entspannen und genießen können, ohne einen Finger krumm zu machen.

5. Anpassungsfähigkeit der Anzeige
Zusätzlich zu den dynamischen Anpassungen und der Wandfarbenanpassung bietet ISA 3.0 auch einen unterbrechungsfreien Autofokus, automatische Trapezkorrektur und intelligenten Augenschutz. Sie erhalten außerdem eine intelligente Bildschirmausrichtung und Hindernisvermeidung mit Adleraugen-Anpassungsfähigkeit. Genießen Sie eine klare Sicht ohne Unterbrechung durch Hindernisse, Unschärfe und instabile Ausrichtung. Ihre Sicht bleibt kristallklar, während sie sich automatisch an die Veränderungen in Ihrer Sichtumgebung anpasst und Ihre Augen vor Ermüdung durch Lichtquellen schützt.

6. Lizenzvergabe und Umsetzung
Mit HORIZON Ultra brauchen Sie keine spezielle Lizenz zu erwerben oder sich um einen Implementierungsprozess zu kümmern, wenn Sie das offizielle Dolby Vision verwenden. Nach dem Kauf haben Sie vollen Zugriff auf die Dolby-Technologie und andere spannende Funktionen, die HORIZON Ultra zu einer lohnenden Investition machen.

How To Connect Your Smartphone to Your Projector?

How To Connect Your Smartphone to Your Projector?

By XGIMI Tech – 2023-8

We are well into the digital age, and as such, devices are increasingly smarter today than they were ten years ago. Projectors have not been left behind in this regard, and are better accepted now that manufacturers have thought it wise to incorporate smarter functions. Portable projectors come with built-in batteries, to ensure mobility and portability, and to serve as an alternative power source. Most projectors today have Android TV features to allow video streaming, Bluetooth to connect to local devices, and WiFi to connect to the internet.

Projectors that support smartphone connectivity have had greater appeal recently. Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, allowing us to connect other devices in the home or office to a central point. If a projector supports a connection to your smartphone, the odds that you would purchase that projector are high. Most importantly, people love to have a variety of options at their fingertips.

Part 1. Why Should You Connect Your Phone To Your Projector?

Connecting your phone to a projector can have several benefits, including:

1. Convenience:
You can enjoy countless benefits by connecting your smartphone to a projector. Portable projectors can be used in various settings and scenarios. If you want to use your projector on a road trip, for instance, you will most likely be streaming pre-downloaded content, which you can store, to some extent, on your smartphone.

2. Sharing:
If you are in a setting where internet services are down, or if you have a slow connection, you can easily connect your smartphone to your projector to enjoy content already saved on your device. When you want to display files that are not on the internet— like photos and videos of your wedding— you can connect your phone to your projector in seconds.

3. Portability:
Many projectors are small and portable, making them ideal for presentations or entertainment on the go.

4. Enhanced Viewing Experience:
A projector can provide a larger and clearer image than your phone’s screen, allowing for a better viewing experience for movies, TV shows, or presentations.

5. Versatility:
 Projectors can display a variety of content, including photos, videos, presentations, and even games, making them a versatile tool for both work and play.

Part 2. Connecting Your Smartphone To Your Projector Via A Cable

You can try the following methods to connect your phone to projector.

Method 1. Via HDMI Cable
One of the most common smartphone–projector connections is a wired connection. Most projectors are fitted with an inbuilt HDMI port that allows for smartphones to connect to them, through an HDMI connector. Using an HDMI cable, connect your device to your projector and stream your desired content. HDMI connectors are the go-to options when transmitting digital content from a source (your smartphone) to a receiving display (your projector). In this way, you can connect your smarthphone to HDMI projector.

Method 2. Via a USB Type C connection
Another method is through an HDMI adapter and a USB Type C connection. If your phone has a USB Type C port, you can check if it supports screen casting to a projector through the HDMI adapter.

1. Check if your phone has a USB Type C port. Most newer smartphones, including many Android phones and some newer iPhones, have a USB Type C port.

2. Purchase an HDMI adapter that is compatible with your phone’s USB Type C port. You can find these adapters online or at most electronics stores.

3. Connect the HDMI adapter to your phone’s USB Type C port.

4. Connect an HDMI cable from the adapter to your projector’s HDMI port.

5. Turn on your projector and select the HDMI input source.

6. Your phone’s screen should now be displayed on the projector.

7. Depending on your phone’s settings, you may need to enable screen mirroring or a similar feature to display content on the projector.

Note: If your phone does not have a USB Type C port, you may need to purchase an adapter that is compatible with your phone’s port. Some phones may also require additional settings or apps to enable screen mirroring or display on a projector.

Part 3. Connecting Your Smartphone To Your Projector Wirelessly

A wireless smartphone–projector connection needs certain factors, features, and device specifications to become a reality. 

Method 1. Via Bluetooth
Firstly, and most importantly, the projector has to be smart— connect to WiFi, have Android TV features, Bluetooth, etc. A wireless connection needs advanced technology on both sides of the connection, and regular projectors do not possess the infrastructure to support such connections. With Bluetooth, you can easily stream audio content to the projector’s speakers, or from the projector to an external Bluetooth speaker.

1. Turn on your projector and enable Bluetooth on both your smartphone and the projector.

2. On your smartphone, go to Settings, then Bluetooth, and search for available devices.

3. Select your projector from the list of available devices.

4. Once your smartphone is connected to the projector via Bluetooth, you can use a compatible app or software to display content on the projector.

Note: Some projectors may require you to enter a PIN code to complete the pairing process. The specific steps for connecting via Bluetooth may vary depending on the projector model and smartphone operating system.

Method 2. Via Wi-Fi
On both ends of the connection, a WiFi-enabled device is also key, seeing as most wireless communication solutions need an equally wireless network. Using the projector’s Android TV features will require WiFi.

1. Make sure your projector and smartphone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. On your smartphone, go to Settings and then select Display.

3. Look for the option to Cast or Screen Mirroring. This may vary depending on your phone model.

4. Select the name of your projector from the list of available devices.

5. Your phone’s screen should now appear on the projector.

6. If your projector doesn’t support wireless connectivity, you may need to use an adapter or cable to connect your phone to the projector.

Method 3. Chromecast
Chromecast is another feature that allows you to project from your smartphone to your projector easily. The device is integral to the Google ecosystem, which also has Android in its ranks, and gives you a one-click streaming option from top apps like Spotify or Netflix. You can also cast your Android device’s screen on your projector using the ‹Cast Screen› option in the Settings menu.

1. Connect your Chromecast device to your projector’s HDMI port.

2. Make sure your Chromecast device and your phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

3. Install the Google Home app on your smartphone if you haven’t already.

4. Open the Google Home app and select your Chromecast device from the list of available devices.

5. Select «Screen mirroring» from the options menu.

6. Your phone’s screen should now be mirrored on the projector via Chromecast.

7. To stop mirroring, simply tap the «Stop mirroring» button in the Google Home app.

Note: Some apps, such as YouTube, may have a built-in Chromecast button that you can use to directly cast content to your projector without mirroring your phone’s screen. To use this feature, open the app and tap the Chromecast button. Select your Chromecast device from the list of available devices and the content will be displayed on the projector.

Method 4. Via Video Streaming or Screen Mirroring
Projector manufacturers add video streaming or screen mirroring support to their devices. Before buying any projector, you need to confirm if it supports wireless screen mirroring. Also, you need to make sure that your device supports applications that allow you to connect to a projector.

1. Make sure your phone and projector are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. Install a video streaming or screen mirroring app on your phone. There are many apps available for both Android and iOS, including popular options like AirPlay, Miracast, and Google Home.

3. Open the app and select the projector as the display device.

4. Follow the app’s instructions to start streaming or mirroring your phone’s screen.

5. Depending on the app you’re using, you may need to adjust settings such as video quality or screen orientation to optimize the viewing experience.

6. Once connected, you should be able to display content from your phone on the projector, including movies, TV shows, photos, and presentations.

7. To stop streaming or mirroring, simply exit the app or disconnect from the projector within the app.

Note: The specific steps for connecting your phone to a projector through video streaming or screen mirroring may vary depending on the app you’re using and the type of projector you have. Make sure to consult the app’s instructions or online support resources if you encounter any issues.

Unleash the Full Potential of Projectors with ISA 2.0 Technology

Unleash the Full Potential of Projectors with ISA 2.0 Technology

By XGIMI Tech – 2023-06

Introduction 

XGIMI is dedicated to using the latest technology to create the perfect projectors for various purposes. Whether it’s a wireless setup or crisp and bright images, XGIMI projectors are known for excellence. The ISA 2.0 technology is another proof of their dedication to always creating highly functional products for consumers› viewing pleasure and satisfaction. Let’s see why the new intelligent screen adaptation technology is such a big deal.

Part 1: Brief Overview of Intelligent Screen Adaptation

XGIMI projectors use Intelligent Screen Adaptation (ISA) technology to save you the stress of struggling to set up your projector at a perfect angle before you can enjoy your view. The technology contains features that automate the process once you switch on your projector. These features include:

Auto Keystone Correction

The auto keystone correction feature provides a broader range of angles for fitting your projector and getting a square image. For instance, you can fit the HORIZON Pro projector at vertical or horizontal angles within +/- 40 degrees and automatically get a perfect square display. Whether viewing in a small room, large room or outdoors, you can get a suitable and satisfying fit.

Auto Focus

The Auto focus feature ensures you don’t have to readjust your projector every few minutes. It keeps your view clear and vivid during the entire duration of the display. You can relax and enjoy clear and properly aligned images whenever you decide.

Intelligent Screen Alignment

Remember how fitting a traditional projector onto your viewing screen is a hassle? Well, intelligent screen alignment takes care of that problem. It automatically projects an image that fits your screen without causing you to make repetitive adjustments. Regardless of your screen’s size, this technology will cause the images or videos to display perfectly.

Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance

The room or wall where you wish to display your projection may contain objects like paintings, plants or shelves. With the intelligent obstacle avoidance feature, you don’t have to adjust or rearrange your room to use your projector. The projector can automatically get the image around the object to provide a clear view.

Part 2: What Is the Upgrade of ISA 2.0 Technology Compared to ISA Technology?

The ISA technology has a new 2.0 version which screams highly efficient automation and speed. With the latest 3D ToF and CMOS solutions, you get autofocus, and automatic keystone correction features to work faster without any adjustments from you. Here’s why the ISA 2.0 is a massive improvement from the previous version:

1. Fully Automatic Keystone Correction

The ISA 2.0 further enhances the auto keystone correction feature. The automation is faster and requires little or no maneuvering from you. Once you place the projector towards where you want your images or videos to display, you can inspect to see a perfect square within seconds. This feature lets you fit your projector within +/- 40 degrees along the vertical or horizontal axis.

2. Seamless Autofocus

The auto focus in the ISA 2.0 improves speed and accuracy. You get your projection to fit on the screen, giving you a perfect display within seconds. Your projector sets up faster and aligns itself with screen dimensions. Once you settle down to start viewing, you won’t have to stand up to rearrange anything unless your show or game is over.

3. Intelligent Eye Protection

Your projector emits infrared light; which eyes can be sensitive to. Thanks to the ToF lens, a projector with ISA 2.0 technology has an intelligent eye protection feature to identify when someone is directly in front of the light source. It instantly reduces the light’s intensity to protect this person’s eyes. This feature is handy if you have pets and little children running around the house. You get a safe and comfortable viewing experience.

Part 3: Wide Applications of XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro with ISA 2.0 Technology

Choosing The Ideal Projector Screen

Choosing The Ideal Projector Screen

By XGIMI Tech – 2023-11

A projector screen is any surface onto which a projector can cast images. The screen on which you intend to watch your projected content is a vital part of the entire setup, as it can ultimately determine the quality of your experience.

Generally, projector screens (curtains) are ideal for indoor and, mostly, outdoor projector use. Screens are also a common accompaniment of projector setups. Another common projecting surface is a wall— usually smooth plain-white surfaces.

Also, there are other do-it-yourself projector screen solutions. Some have been known to use a clean sheet as a projector screen, although the downside is that it may take longer to set up, as you would need to find a way to hang it to avoid folds, movements, and wrinkles. The bodies of vans have been used by people on outdoor camping trips, or on movie nights in the backyard. Projector paint also lets you turn most surfaces into a projector screen, and the upsides are numerous. You can apply the paint on blank surfaces, and they give an excellent viewing quality just like a projector screen. The downside is that they ultimately cost just as much to buy and take longer to set up.

Other custom projector screen options include wrapping papers, window blinds, and even a wardrobe. These options largely cost less to set up than projector screens, but the latter deliver a better viewing experience most of the time. The most common options remain a projector screen (curtain) and a plain colored wall.

Projector Screen (Curtain)

Curtains rank as the most common projecting surfaces today. They are best suited to outdoor projectors, which usually have lower brightness than home projectors, and would lose most of their display quality if projected onto a wall. Projector screens reflect color better in these circumstances (outdoor, in areas where you do not have absolute light control) and will give you better viewing quality than a wall.

Screen (Curtain) Vs. Wall— Why You Should Use A Screen

Screens have a stronger case than walls as far as ideal projecting surfaces are concerned. For starters, projector screens reflect color better than plain painted walls. You get a more detailed and lifelike color display when you project onto a screen— clearer, sharper, and more accurate. Image texture, sharpness, and detail will most likely be sacrificed if you project onto a wall instead.

Projector screen colors are of two popular varieties— plain white or gray. White screens are more common compared to their gray-colored counterparts, as they are more readily available. White is regarded as the best wall color for projectors. In enclosures where you can achieve absolute light control, i.e., where there is a single and common light source without interference, white screens perform better than gray ones. In viewing rooms or setups that are not entirely dark, gray screens boost contrast on digital projectors and absorb ambient light, which hits it better than a white screen. However, if you project on gray screens, you may experience less vivid pictures, darker whites, and even blacker blacks.

Another aspect where screens have the upper hand over walls as projecting surfaces is brightness. Projector brightness generally determines the image brightness, and home projectors are known to have brighter outputs than outdoor projectors. Yet, the quality of the projecting surface also affects the image brightness. White and gray screens, which are the most readily available for purchase, greatly reduce image brightness depreciation, compared to a wall.

Projector Screen (Curtain) Mini Buying Guide

There are a handful of important factors you need to mull over before you buy a projector screen, and each one is as important as the next if you hope to have an excellent viewing experience.

Budget: The prices of projector screens vary based on several factors like brand name, projector screen material, framework (e.g., tabletop projector screen), and screen size. Higher-priced screens tend to give better quality, yet, price does not always equate to value. Most home cinema screens cost between $400 to $4000.
Projecting Location: If you intend to use the screen with a portable projector for camping trips, you should settle for floor standing or floor-mounted screens, or retractable projector screens that can be stored easily. If the setup is meant to be indoors, ceiling-mounted projector screens or floor-standing screens are ideal.
Size: Projector screens are of different sizes, and your choice of the screen will depend on the intended activity. For small spaces like a living room or a private cinema setup, screen sizes between 100 inches to 150 inches should be ideal. If you have a larger venue and audience, bigger screen sizes (150+ inches) would give a better viewing experience.
Screen Material: Projector screens are made of different materials, some are more convenient to store than others, and they all have varying reflective capabilities. The best projector screens are made from vinyl or spandex. High-grade plastic, polyester fabric, canvas, PVC, rubber, and fiberglass are other materials used to produce projector screens.
Storage Convenience: You should also consider if the projector screen is convenient for storage. However, if you choose a curtain that can be rolled up, it may result in the formation of curls and wrinkles on the screen.

Common Types Of Projector Screens

There are two main types of projector screens available— fixed frame and retractable projector screens.

Fixed frame screens are usually mounted on the wall, and stationary. These types of projector screens are common in home theater settings. For ultra-short-throw projectors, fixed frame screens are highly recommended.
Retractable projector screens can be folded up or down like window blinds when not in use. Retractable projector screens are either ceiling mount screens, which retract upwards, or floor-mounted screens, which retract downwards.

Projector Screen Materials

Typical projector screens can be made with blackout material, plastic, or fabric. Blackout material maintains a good balance between contrast and high fidelity color. On the other hand, plastic is difficult to fatigue, especially the white ones, while the fabric material is easy to wash and maintain.

Four Steps To Choosing A Projector Screen

Determine the screen size. Consider the size of the room, the number of people that make up the audience, and the setting— larger screen sizes for larger venues.
Choose the aspect ratio— 16:9 is the standard for home theaters, while 16:10 is widescreen.
Choose the screen material.
Pick the screen type— whether ceiling-mounted, floor-mounted, or tabletop screen.

Choosing A Suitable Wall

Projecting onto walls has notable downsides. Image quality and image brightness will be adversely affected if you choose a wall over a screen, but using a wall is ultimately cheaper, easier to set up, and is a go-to option if you want to set up as quickly as possible.

Yet, not all walls are suitable for projecting onto. If a wall isn’t smooth, you will see tiny shadows here and there on the projected image. Hence, the wall you intend to use must be as smooth as possible. If you already have your home decor all done, look for the most suitable space on your walls. Plain walls should suffice, and some people also paint the wall space. Regular white paint is suitable and cost-effective. You can also use projector paint for the walls, although it is costly. Projector-painted walls reflect light more accurately and efficiently, almost as good as a standard projector screen.

It would help your line of vision and concentration if you had a frame around the painted area, separating it from the rest of the wall, something akin to borders.

Product Recommendations

This 4K ultra-short-throw laser projector delivers laser-powered UST projection. XGIMI AURA comes with 4K UHD resolution, 1800 ISO Lumens for image brightness, X-VUE 2.0 image engine, 60Hz motion compensation technology (MEMC), Harman Kardon speakers, and 20,000 hours laser lifespan. XGIMI AURA is most suitable for large room spaces as it projects a 120″ image from 11.7″ away. 

The XGIMI HORIZON Pro is a 4K long throw home projector fitted with 1500 ISO Lumens, ISA technology— for auto keystone correction, auto obstacle avoidance, autofocus, and intelligent screen alignment— 4K UHD display, 8W Harman Kardon speakers, X-VUE 2.0 image engine and MEMC technology. HORIZON Pro’s 1500 ISO Lumens brightness ensures excellent image color and less interference from ambient light.

This XGIMI 1080p portable projector is fitted with ISA technology, an FHD display, smart screen adaptation technology, 700 ISO Lumens for excellent image brightness and color, X-VUE 2.0 image engine, MEMC technology, and sound from Harman Kardon. XGIMI Halo+ is an excellent choice if you need a portable projector for camping as it is small, easy to move around, suitable for setups in small spaces, and features high ISO lumens. 

Conclusion

Projector screens or walls are good projecting surfaces, each with its distinct advantages and drawbacks. Standard projector screens (curtains) are ideal options, especially in outdoor setups, and generally give the best viewing experience. They can be rather expensive if you are on a low budget, and setup may take some time.

Walls come cheap, especially if you choose not to use the projector paint option. Using a wall as a projecting surface is fairly easy to set up, and takes no time at all, compared to regular projector screens. However, walls do not produce excellent projected images when compared to screens, due to their texture.

Whether you choose to use screens, walls, or DIY alternatives, the quality of your projector still has the most significant impact on the overall viewing experience. XGIMI AURA is highly recommended for short-throw projection onto walls, XGIMI HORIZON Pro is a highly recommended long-throw home projector option, while the XGIMI Halo+ is a portable projector suited for camping trips, is easy to move around, and gives a pleasant viewing experience all-round.

This year, we graced millions of users’ dreams and witnessed 4 million stories unravel. From everyone at XGIMI, we want to sincerely thank you for sharing your heartwarming moments. 

This time we talked with three of our users, and let’s see their stories! Thanks Timm, Daniel and Geoff, for allowing us to be part of your lives.

Section 1的标题

Section 2 的标题

罗列所有,但是index部分要在整篇文章排版完成后再选择scroll to section

Timm, 35 years old, Germany

Q: What do you do for a living?
A: I’m a kindergarden teacher.

Q: What is your life motto?
A:
Set a goal and go for it. Also I’m used to get up very early and in german I’m always saying «Der Tag ist daaaaaa» welcoming the new day.

Q: What motivates you the most?
A: I like to live to the fullest extend possible. Be active. I don’t want to miss anything in life. While I do enjoy my time off, the kids at work – seeing them grow – is really great.

Q: What’s your favorite sports?
A: I like to ski, to run. I also have an indoor bike and a treadmill.

Q: What do you do with your family the most on weekend?
A:
We do host or visit bbq in the summer. We also like to go to hotpot restaurants.

Q: Are you a traveler? You could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?
A: I’m only traveling to ski resorts. I don’t really like sightseeing except if it’s in a fun way, like with a car called «Hot Rod». In an all-year ski resort.

Q: Which XGIMI projector would you recommend to others? and why?
A:
Elfin for the overall package, Halo+ for additional battery and sound.

Q: Why do you choose XGIMI and how is your user experience?
A: While I started out with the Halo, I grew to love XGIMI and we even replaced our main TV. Since October/November last year, we use it every day. For a projector to replace a TV; its important that you have confident in its capabilities, because it’s a bit of an investment: you end up having a cinema-like living room. Many people struggle to operate a projector, because they are still very rare in Germany and kids in school are being advised to take even more care if a projector is around. In the meantime, you can use an XGIMI projector the same way as you can use any other smart TV. In the past few years, XGIMI projectors helped create great memories. Part of that is the all-in-one-system mentality, with included battery, speaker or a great image.

Geoff, 35 years old, Sussex, UK

Q: What’s your hobby?
A: I’ve been enjoying photography for the last five years or so, mainly thanks to instagram.

Q: How much do you enjoy the current routine?
A:
I consider myself very lucky, I have a job I like that lets me work from home, and a nice house with a forgiving wife. I would like a better work life balance in the future, but all in all I’m doing well.

Q: Which moment in your life would you most like to relive?
A:
A trip to Iceland about four years ago where I proposed to my partner under the northern lights.

Q: What is the movie that everyone should watch?
A: Oh, such a tough question! 12 Angry Men is a classic, and I think teaches us an important lesson in unpacking our personal prejudice before passing judgment. A valuable lesson for many aspects of life.

Q: What do you do with family the most on weekend?
A:
Currently me and my partner are planning our wedding which is looming ever closer.

Q: Which XGIMI projector would you recommend to others? and why?
A:
Thanks to Halo’s flexibility. We watch it on the ceiling of our bedroom every night and it takes up very little space at the bottom of the bed. I also use it in the van when travelling mounted on the roof as a mini cinema, and we use it as an outdoor cinema in the garden and when camping. It’s astonishingly good for it’s size, especially considering that there’s a built in battery in there too.

Q: Why do you choose XGIMI and how is your user experience?
A: I chose XGIMI after googling “best battery-powered projector”. Halo came up and had by far the most impressive technical specifications of all the models I had seen, as well as a much nicer design. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the XGIMI team and their technical support staff and they’ve always been helpful, courteous, and most of all patient. I’ve often found dealing with large tech companies based overseas can end in poor after-sales support, but I’m happy to say with XGIMI this couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Daniel, 37 years old, Blaine, WA

Q: What do you do for living?

How X-VUE 2.0 Provides Unparalleled Visual Clarity

How X-VUE 2.0 Provides Unparalleled Visual Clarity

By XGIMI Tech – 2023-11

Simply put, XGIMI’s X-VUE 2.0 image engine is the power behind its phenomenal color and visual clarity. This incredible technology helps keep all dynamic content incredibly clear and smooth while delivering lifelike colors that seem to jump off the screen. In this article, you’ll learn all about X-VUE 2.0 and why it is necessary to achieve the ultimate viewing experience.

What is X-VUE?

X-VUE image quality engine is a big-screen picture quality processing expert. The X-VUE image quality engine technology was developed for 5 years and includes 3 systems and 11 technologies that can enhance the image effect from clarity, color, and noise reduction to provide users with an immersive image quality experience.

Enhanced clarity

Every image is clear and smooth. The X-VUE engine improves the smoothness of dynamic images, enhances picture details, and improves picture layering.

The enhanced clarity function can optimize entire images with specific algorithms to bring out more details. The veins of the leaves, the texture on the wings of dragonflies, and even a single strand of hair can be clearly shown after optimization. In our sample comparison, we found that the projector with X-VUE image quality engine showed more details of pet hair, even in the background of relatively complex scenes.

Besides, the enhanced clarity function, which provides targeted optimization of large-screen picture quality, makes the picture smoother, more layered, and more detailed.

In high-speed motion pictures, picture jitter and trailing have greatly impacts the immersive movie-watching experience. The clarity enhancement system can calculate the screen change between two frames, automatically generate intermediate frames, and fill the screen gap in the motion state by interpolating frames. This solves jitter and trailing issues for high dynamic images and significantly improves the smoothness and clarity of images in motion. 

Revivification (True Color Restoration)

Restores true-to-life imagery by unifying the color temperature standard, optimizing different colors for different objects, and correcting the skin color of faces.

To please the user’s eye, the major projector brands have their own color-tuning tendencies. However, color separation and realistic restoration is still in the same general direction. However, there are subtle differences in color performance due to different batches of optical machines, such as the yellow, green, and violet-like colors of the optical machine itself, which can be off. The X-VUE picture quality engine, on the other hand, allows the picture to be colorful and layered without distortion.

At the same time, it identifies different objects in the picture through intelligent algorithms and optimizes and enhances the colors of different objects in the picture independently. The revivification function can identify different colors such as red tomatoes, green vegetables, and orange pumpkins. Although the three objects have different color performances, the X-VUE picture quality engine can make different color tones for these three different objects. Thus, the color of each object is closer to the actual color while not affecting the color of other objects. 

Not only that, but X-VUE can also make targeted adjustments to the skin tones of people in the picture. With the X-VUE image quality engine, the people in the picture are clearly getting more details. There is no overexposure in the brighter areas of the image, and it is well layered and rich in detail.

Ultra de-noise (Exceptional Noise Reduction)

A clearer picture. Improves picture clarity, text sharpness, and image smoothness.

Finally, noise can be a topic that all display devices cannot avoid. And as the size of the projected image increases exponentially, noise is more noticeable to the viewer. The X-VUE image quality engine technology combines a number of noise reduction technologies to provide different noise reduction algorithms for different screens, intelligently suppressing the noise in the screen while retaining much of the picture detail.

And when we watch the original imported movie, the noise around the subtitles is very easy to produce. The addition of a huge screen in the projection, often more easily noticed by the viewer, looks like a heavy shadow general. The pure noise reduction can be processed by the unique noise reduction technology specifically for this kind of noise, so that the subtitles in the film display more clear and three-dimensional. 

Conclusion

With X-VUE 2.0, you get a significant boost in clarity and color detail, leaving your display ultra-clear and filled with lifelike visuals. Undoubtedly, this is captivating enough to immerse you in your favorite entertainment content with ease. Do yourself a favor, and experience movies and TV shows the way the creators envisioned.

Why MEMC Technology Is A Must-Have For Your Projector?

Why MEMC Technology Is A Must-Have For Your Projector?

By XGIMI Tech – 2023-11

Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation, or MEMC technology has been widely used in TVs and projectors for some time now. Popular XGIMI models like, Halo+, the Horizon Series, and Elfin feature 60Hz motion compensation, which helps deliver a display with incredibly low image blur, ensuring you won’t miss a moment of your action movie or sports game.

In this article, you will learn all about MEMC technology, how it works, and why you need it for your projector.

What Is MEMC?

MEMC is a must. Using smaller screens via smartphones, iPads, or TVs to catch up on dramas, it was difficult to notice the frame-dragging that occurred when images at 24fps shift rapidly. However, with a projection of up to 100 inches, the shaky blur experienced in films such as Fast and Furious can easily be seen as cars speed by. This is why, with any home projector, MEMC motion compensation should be standard. Thanks to intelligent frame insertion, any content playing at a high frame rate of 24fps will do so smoothly, thus ensuring a better viewing experience.

Why Do We Need MEMC Motion Compensation?

MEMC motion compensation is one of the most advanced display enhancement features for the naked eye. So why do we need it? There are two main reasons.

1) Makes videos smoother
In life, one sees continuous and uninterrupted object movement. However, in videos, only 24 frames display per second or 24 instants, as we often say, leaving the rest of the movement unknown. When watching a movie and the object movement is fast onscreen, we sometimes realize that the image is not smooth. MEMC motion compensation improves the video frame rate and retrieves that «unknown» object movement that would otherwise lead to image blur.

2) Makes videos clearer
Current TVs are still dominated by LCD screens. Those LCD screens have long holding times and slow response speed, which leads to distortion and deviation when the picture changes quickly. When inputting and outputting, objects with more details on the surface of the picture will appear blurry as a whole, while objects with a flat surface will have delayed motion edges. MEMC motion compensation can increase the sampling rate of the raw data, shortening the duration of each frame on the human visual system, thus reducing the drag.

What Are The Main Differences Between The Various MEMC Motion Compensations?

The MEMC motion compensation function has long been available for TVs. For some unknown reason, the technology disappeared from Chinese TVs for a while. However with, smartphone giants like Huawei and OnePlus releasing their TV products, the MEMC motion compensation function has reappeared. Still, the efficiency of this smart feature varies from TV to TV. So let’s discuss the components of MEMC motion compensation.

1) Frame Latency
MEMC processing requires multiple frames of information and therefore has a specific latency. Although this millisecond of difference is not noticeable when watching movies, that is not the case when playing video games. Inserting frames makes the video game picture smoother, but with high latency rates, the image will always be half a beat slower, which greatly reduces user engagement and satisfaction.

The XGIMI’s MEMC motion compensation is specifically designed to heighten the gaming experience. With an optional Game Mode, users receive a better balance between the smoothness of the picture and the frame delay.

2) Object motion range
The onscreen object motion is supported by varying MEMCs ranges. Only object motion that is within the supported range can be detected. Calculation errors will occur if object motion is out of range, which ultimately leads to issues such as missing details or ghosting. (Ghosting occurs when an image artifact appears as a trail of pixels behind a moving object, almost like a motion blur that looks like a ghost.)

3) Static screen protection
When we watch TV content, there are often static logos such as station or commercial logos. Inefficient or outdated versions of MEMC technology will misjudge them, causing issues such as ghosting. However, most MEMC technology on the market today does an excellent job of detecting and displaying such logos, reducing the potential of these issues occurring.

4) MEMC accuracy
MEMC technology cannot estimate the motion of infinitely small objects, so its accuracy varies. The higher the accuracy, the smaller the objects detected, and the more accurate the motion compensation will be. MEMC accuracy is an issue that some suppliers ignore when they integrate the technology into their products. XGIMI realized this problem early on. Consequently, we created a Football Mode, which allows our MEMC to interpolate frames more accurately and reduces frame errors when watching sports with smaller objects within the image.

5) Calculation accuracy
MEMC predicts the picture between two frames and inserts the estimated frame to improve the video frame rate and make the image smoother. The operation seems quite simple, but video content is complex and changeable, complicating picture prediction. Consequently, the MEMC calculation accuracy varies from company to company.

Calculating MEMC motion compensation is difficult. Changes in brightness and picture, the complex motion scenes, periodic object movement, object motion at the edge of the screen, and more all affect the accuracy of MEMC calculation.

For example, the change from low frame speed to high frame speed alters the Cadence format of the original signal. Motion compensation must accurately detect the Cadence of the original signal to calculate it quickly and accurately.

For the XGIMI H3, we introduce MOTION TURBO, which detects complex scene changes faster through a new algorithm, allowing the MEMC technology to intervene and calculate faster. This significantly improves the MEMC accuracy.

Conclusion

A 60Hz motion compensation technology (MEMC) is essential to ensuring all fast-paced content is delivered with super-low image blur and latency rates. XGIMI has made it a habit to integrate this technology into most of our models, including Halo+, the Horizon Series, and Elfin. For those who love action movies, sports, or high-graphic videos, strong MEMC technology is a must for incredibly sharp and clear imagery, even in the heat of the action.
