More business fashion models, polar meters Z4 Aurora defenders without screen TV overlord

As the first to put forward the concept of ultra-screen TV super-meter technology, although many manufacturers follow their paces to follow suit, in this year's fire this family smart micro-investment market, but the meter seems to have a profound knowledge of the trick At a time when its flagship Z4X was just hotter, it recently threw in a new Z4 Aurora crowdfunding product. This technique of superimposed damage made friends so unprepared that it was always imitated. Beyond the hegemony realm.


Of course, simply from the appearance of the product appearance and hardware parameters, in addition to the body color changes and more that 20ANSI stream brightness, the new Z4 Aurora and the main flagship Z4X is not much difference, but in fact the selling point of the polar meter is attached Above value and soft power. Such as the exclusive business UI, high-end professional projection only has the trapezoidal correction function, as well as the standard 2 pairs of 3D glasses, etc., it should be said that the current crowdfunding threshold price is only 300 yuan higher than the Z4X surprise price point of view, must buy Z4 Aurora is more cost-effective, so curious about the new Z4 Aurora, what special features users may wish to join with the author to taste fresh!

|Unpacking details


Compared to the simple package box of Z4X, the Z4 Aurora was replaced by a mysterious black hardcover case with a skin-like texture. The overall look is even more graded. There is indeed a taste for the Z4 PLUS version. What's even more interesting when you uncover the lid is that the square box that was previously a single unit has been cleverly designed to be a more intuitive and independent stacking combination. Does this look like a "good thing"?



As mentioned in the opening article, one of the reasons why the Z4 Aurora is more selling now is the standard two-shutter 3D glasses with a total value of nearly 400 yuan; not only does this redesign increase the Bluetooth voice and somatosensory sensation The metal remote control of the flying mouse function is also very eye-catching. At this point, the remote control of the meter is no longer “pushed in a shirt” with a TV box and TV remote controller. In addition, it is necessary to mention that the package is still provided with a Mango TV value of 720 yuan VIP member redemption card, after the exchange of GMUI system can enjoy 24 months of free mango VIP video viewing privileges.


From the product's family portrait, in addition to the Z4 Aurora screenless TV, metal remote control, and shutter-type 3D glasses, the entire box also provides a Micro USB power cord that is specifically designed to charge the remote controller. The bottom of the device to remove the matching power adapter, but the transfer plate hidden more hidden, you need to Z4 Aurora screenless TV out of the box after the entire can only see the transfer tray placed in the lower groove.



It should be said that this remote control redesigned for the Z4 Aurora touched the author deeply. First, the shell was treated with a sandblasting process using a bright silver aluminum-magnesium alloy material. The handle grip was soft and smooth; the visual confirmation of the five-dimensional direction key The look and feel of the retro black vinyl disc model panel of Aurora screenless TV echoes in the light, and the bright point is not only this, but in the function, Bluetooth, voice, focusing, gravity sensing, flying squirrel and other humanization are added. Applicable functions, abandon the button battery in details, use a convenient and environmentally friendly rechargeable lithium battery. It should be said that this remote controller from Z4 Aurora has many surprises from the exterior design to the function extension.


In terms of dimensions and weight, the Z4 Aurora is almost identical to the Z4X. The measurements are still 196 x 196 x 50mm, and the body weight is also controlled at 1.2kg. Of course, the slide-type switch design and 3D gesture-cutting function that integrate the lens dust cover and the power switch are completely preserved, and the extension of the classic design is worthy of recognition.


So what is the concrete performance of the lens quality of the core soul of the screenless TV? The clear indicator that can be specified from the official parameters is 600 ANSI lumen brightness and 1280 x 800 physical HD resolution, supports 4K ultra HD source, and can achieve a 40-300-inch extreme projection size with standard shutter-type 3D glasses And 3D film source (support 2D to 3D function) can also enjoy the stunning 3D big screen movie. In addition, as a projection product, it is worth paying attention to the light source it uses. The Z4 Aurora adopts the LED light source from OSRAM of Germany. Its service life is up to 30,000 hours and it has the advantages of no radiation and no eye injury.


In order to provide better audio and visual enjoyment, the Z4 Aurora is still equipped with BOSE's well-known, well-known American audio brands - Harman Kardon audio, through the cooperation of a customized way in the Z4 Aurora designed a two-channel stereo In the actual viewing experience of the speaker unit, the sound quality released through a number of fine acoustic holes in front of the aurora is fairly good, and it can fully meet the viewing and hearing needs of the average family.


In terms of interface layout, it should be said that every screenless TV product from Kamitsu is designed to be both rich and practical. As you can see, the Z4 Aurora on the map, apart from leaving a cooling hole, will be divided into a number of interfaces. The two rows are designed on the back of the fuselage, and the functional type logo is printed directly underneath each interface. Such detailed consideration is very thoughtful. In addition to the physical interface that is visible, the Z4 Aurora also supports 2.4/5GHz dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, including the Airplay/DLNA/Miracast multi-screen interactive features naturally not to mention.


The bottom cover is detachable. The three rubber bottom screws installed by default have the same function as the non-slip foot pad in addition to the fixed bottom cover. If you need to remove the bottom cover for the expansion of the built-in SSD, you only need to remove the screws. Afterwards, press and hold the bottom cover clockwise (arrow mark) direction to rotate with a little force to complete the removal. Of course, if you reset, you can turn it counterclockwise to lock it.


After opening the bottom cover, you can clearly see that the Z4 Aurora provides the expansion position of the 2.5-inch SATA SSD in unison with the Z4X. With the new GMUI system's built-in “Thunder Remote Download” feature, you can choose to enjoy working or playing during the day. The movie opens the remote download. At home in the evening, it can be watched directly through the on-demand local storage of the movie. From then on, we can say goodbye to the tangled network buffer. Not only that, it is conceived that when traveling on a business trip or on a business trip, even if there is no internet coverage, you can use the on-demand rich local movie resources to send out a long, boring night.



At the time of unpacking, the author mentioned that there was an adapter plate and associated fixing screws delivered with the product. The specific purpose was to easily combine the Z4 aurora with a tripod through the adapter plate to satisfy different requirements. Viewing requirements for scene environments or projection angles; the advantage of using a tripod is that it is easier and quicker to assemble and match with the projection table, and storage does not take up space. The key can also realize the ability to play everywhere.

|About the system

For the first time use, you need to pair the remote control with the Z4 Aurora. It is more intimate than the detailed graphic tutorials after the startup, and there are voice prompts. It is difficult to control them. At the same time, the remote control will also have different colored lights to distinguish them during pairing.


As a flagship non-screen TV, high-precision electric focusing technology must be supported, in fact, after turning on the zoom switch at the end of the Z4 Aurora remote control, you can change the volume control of the original remote control to zoom. Function, in order to achieve fine-focus operation.


It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the Z4 aurora can be controlled through the matching remote control, the pole meter also provides a "very Mi assistant" that covers both IOS and Android camps, with a richer and more powerful APP for user control. In addition to the basic functions of the remote control, the function can also achieve voice on demand, multimedia push, and the same screen display and other functions, in particular, will be able to push the phone, or flat-panel images, videos, documents and resources a key projection The role of family sharing or office applications is still very large.



Knowing that consumers with no-screen TVs may be very familiar with the GMUI system developed on Android version 4.3, users of several generations of products are also used to such a menu mode that is close to the user-friendly operation, of course, subtle The difference is that the Z4 Aurora system version has more business mode switching functions, and supports the Bluetooth voice sense of flying mouse remote control Bluetooth function, of course, the initial contact of consumers will be very fast, after all, simple and intuitive menu presentation is easier It was memorized by people. Also noteworthy is the entire intelligent system architecture with a 4-core 1.5GHz CPU and integrated Mali-450MP4 GPU with 2GB DDR3 memory and 16GB high-speed flash memory, regardless of the fluency of the system control or high-definition video decoding and gaming experience. It's very good.


The UI interface of the entire GMUI system is divided into four major categories: film, music, games, and applications. With Metro tile-style click-picking blocks, intuitive and easy-to-use are the biggest features. At the same time, whether it is video resources, or The content richness and update frequency of music and game resources are very good. In particular, the film and television resources that are the highlights of the show are because they are products that are co-opted with Mango TV. Naturally licensed and licensed video content can be allowed to be on-demand. Even if it is a VIP library for members’ privilege, it can be redeemed through the bonus VIP membership card. 24 months of mango VIP video viewing privileges.



The online music content is all licensed by Baidu Music, and the original music library, from the new song to the list, from the special topic to the radio, the richness of the songs used to listen to Baidu naturally understand, and through the carrying Harman Kardon audio, In addition to low-frequency general sound quality, the high frequency can basically serve as the sound quality effect of domestic multi-media speakers. In addition, as an Android-based smart product, it is necessary to support the Android platform game, and the hardware of the product itself also supports the mainstream of some stand-alone and online games, so do not want to see the film during leisure time, playing games is also quite Easy and comfortable.


Since the Z4 Aurora is replaced with a new high-end remote control designed to support voice control, the system menu corresponding to the natural support must exist, and the voice recognition menu can be activated by clicking on the microphone button of the remote control. Currently, it supports video, music, and applications. , weather, stocks, and other aspects of voice content recognition and search accuracy is quite high.



In addition to the remaining LED brightness, projection method and cooling fan speed setting, the Z4 Aurora's new left and right trapezoidal correction function is very eye-catching in the projection setup menu. The correction function that originally belonged to the million-grade high-end projection product appeared in the pole. Above the Mi Z4 Aurora, it is also a benchmark for domestically produced non-screen TV products. By supporting degrees of freedom of plus or minus 30 degrees of freedom, the limitations of placing on the Z4 have become arbitrary.


The functions in the system universal settings basically do not need to be adjusted. Settings such as 3D gesture opening and voice song name broadcast are all enabled by default. Therefore, the author is not alone to repeat this time. It is the image setting menu because everyone's brightness and contrast requirements are inconsistent, and the preference for cold and warm color temperature is also different, so you can choose your own favorite visual perception before use to adjust, of course, if not picky, you can also consider using The default standard mode can be.



The new GMUI system's business model for Z4 Aurora can largely and intuitively address the needs of business meetings, learning, and other aspects of the scene. The mainstream PPT, Excel, Word, PDF four categories of document files can be integrated by The OFFICE application in the system can make timely presentations. In addition, after switching to the business mode, the wireless mode is switched to a WiFi hotspot. After the connection with the smart phone of Apple or Android is successful, the display content of the mobile phone can be displayed on the same screen through the AirPlay and DLNA wireless transmission protocol.


For a friend who likes to pursue dramas, the system-integrated Thunder remote download function should be very practical, especially after the Z4 Aurora is equipped with solid-state hard disk, the advantages of remote download can be played more vividly, imagine what will be chased by the unit. Large resources into the Thunder for remote download, you can go home at night to easily worry about the site of the broadcast, even if the network bandwidth is not enough do not have to worry about online viewing delay buffer or consume resources and affect the family online, and even if there is no network of travel In the environment, there is no need to worry about not polishing the time by demanding many video resources that were previously downloaded to the local area.


In addition, in the menu to turn off the Z4 Aurora, it also supports the ability to turn off the projection function, and only maintains the Thunder download function or maintains the function of listening to music. Relatively speaking, energy saving is still relatively intimate.

| Effect demonstration

First of all, let's give you a comparison chart of the real effects of switching lights. Although in my opinion, the Z4 Aurora, which is positioned as a non-screen TV, actually belongs to micro-projection products, so even if it is already present in this category, The limit of 600 ANSI lumen brightness, but the light conditions are still there is a clear picture quality interference, the two personal feelings one can see clearly, one is to look comfortable, want to get the best viewing visual effects is still honest Turn off the light to experience it.





Finally, it is not difficult to see through the projection demonstration of a group of real shot static high-definition pictures. In the case of the default image settings, the performance of the projected images in terms of color gamut richness and color reproduction accuracy is remarkable. Even the performance of comprehensive details shows the true capabilities of high-end non-screen TVs. Of course, according to the official introduction, this is thanks to the physical resolution of the 1280800 that the Z4 Aurora has, and the adoption of the DLP cinematic technology from the United States; at the same time, the Z4 Aurora also includes SNR space for the optimization of large projection screen details. The 16-quality enhancement technology and 11-color enhancement technology, including noise reduction, YC-delay bright color delay, and UVC dark field color compensation technology, naturally cannot be underestimated.




The existence of the non-screen TV is still to better serve the user's viewing experience, then for the Z4 Aurora, whether it is an online on-demand series or a local decoding and playback 4K HD film source, the fluency and quality of the details in the control The performance aspect is among the best in its class, and we believe that according to the momentum of development, the market share of screenless TVs will increase year by year, which will bring millions to households and evolve into a family's big screen audio and video center. The idea is also within reach.



In addition to the Z4 Aurora in addition to its own support for 3D video playback, the system also integrates 2D to 3D and other practical skills to improve, so with the distribution of the two shutter 3D glasses at any time at home can enjoy any vision.



Of course, the Z4 Aurora, which can project 40-300 inch giant screens, I think there is a big advantage is to be able to become a gospel for the game Otaku Otaku, whether it is downloaded through the system built-in platform for Android games, or connected to the host computer To play PC games, the coolest game is to connect with professional game consoles such as the PS4 and XBOX ONE. The pleasure of immersing the United States and the United States in these battles is that only those who truly experience the game can be touched and shocked.

| Tool Detection

As an electrical appliance that needs long-term use, consumers may be more concerned about the energy consumption of the Aurora Z4. The author measured the power consumption of the A4 aurora using a professional power meter. The power consumption is about 45W, and the light switch is used only for listening to songs or If Thunder is downloaded, its power is reduced to about 12W. It should be said that the overall power of the Z4 Aurora is still quite low. If the power consumption is converted, it takes 22 hours of continuous viewing to consume 1 kWh of electricity. It is simply used as a download machine. If you listen to songs, you need to work continuously for 83 hours to consume 1 kWh.


At present, the indoor temperature of around 8 degrees in winter, the author let Z4 Aurora worked continuously for 3 hours after the measured front and rear cooling holes infrared sensing temperature of 26 degrees and 22 degrees, I believe that even the summer temperature should also be close to the author's Z4X test , The maximum will not exceed 40 degrees, so as a consumer is concerned about the existence of long-term work will heat, will affect the life of the pseudo-problem.


In addition, if you consider that the noise of the cooling fan will affect the viewing experience, the sound level of the fan, which is measured by the high-precision decibel meter, is normally within 50 dBA. If this value is used in a quiet environment, you need to be careful. Listening can be heard (the author is based on the Z4 Aurora off the volume measured after the release), then the concerns in this area can also not have to consider.

| written in the end

In general, the Z4 Aurora adopts a more fashionable dark gold color scheme in terms of appearance and color value. At the same time, it is equipped with a wealth of practical and accessory accessories, together with a top-notch tip in the non-screen TV product circle. Hardware configuration, it is not surprising that it is the overlord of the screenless TV industry. Of course, in terms of soft power, the advantage of Z4 Aurora is not drip, like the unique business UI, powerful professional-grade trapezoidal correction, and wireless screen and other functions are all very eye-catching. Nowadays, the barriers to family feasts are extremely low. If you want your family to experience the shock and sensory stimulation of a screenless screen without leaving home, you can fully consider using the Z4.
