Subvert the tradition to create a new experience - PaPa micro projector evaluation

At first glance, everyone can see this name without thinking about it. This papa is not his papa, not to mention it. The elephant running company can be called the smallest intelligent projection device. Imagine having such a compact projector, wherever you can go, think about it is cool enough. After I got this easy-to-use projection, I had some small thoughts. Please use it to continue to look down.



Careful packaging

As always, starting from the packaging aspect, the packaging adopts a white cardboard box packaging method. The packaging paper is still very good in terms of its hardness and toughness, ensuring that the machine inside will not be damaged during the transportation process. The middle of the box is the brand. The logo. On the back of the box is a detailed display of the PaPa projection manufacturer, packaging details and key features.




The contrast between the white product and the black accessory tray and sponge is clear and concise.





Stylish and simple appearance

PaPa pocket cinema, basically consists of a pocket theater, a remote control, a power adapter, a product manual, a warranty card, plus a dedicated desktop support. Each component is a must, and there are no fancy, useless accessories.










The feeling that gave me first hand was very small, and I was always able to control it with my palm. The shape is very pleasing and pleasing, the frame of the fuselage is made of aluminum alloy material, local gold color metal texture is full, feel in hand is very good, the front panel uses a white panel of similar glass material, the panel is smooth and delicate . Before we learn more about PaPa projections, we may wish to first look at its main configuration:

Product Size: 10102.5cm

From the hole of the laser hole, it can be seen that the shell of the papa is very fine workmanship. The chamfer of the middle shell of the aluminum alloy adopts the CNC cutting process. The surface of the matte looks very light under the light, and it can be said that the appearance of the papa The most outstanding place is the shell of this local tyrant gold.




The right side of the projector is 14 short oval heat sinks, which can quickly transfer the heat generated during the projection process and prevent the projector from crashing due to overheating, thus ensuring product stability.




The left side of the PaPa pocket cinema is near the projector port, there is a focusing wheel, followed by three inclined bar-shaped cooling holes. By focusing the wheel, you can achieve a clear projection of 15 - 120 inches.




The voice is papa's weak point, and the voice emitted is even thinner than the mobile phone's loud speaker. However, if the surrounding environment is relatively quiet, it is still possible. The voice is clear, that is to say, the effect is good. To achieve good results, it is recommended to use the Bluetooth speaker. Or output via 3.5 audio cable to the amplifier.




The bottom of the fuselage design is also very simple, the four corners are non-slip rubber mats, fixed body screws hidden in the four non-slip mats, to ensure the body's clean. The small holes in the middle of the fuselage are the mounting holes for the tripod. It is convenient for us to fix the projector. The heat-dissipating air intake hole is also designed at the bottom, and the fence-type design ensures that more air can be sucked in. It should be noted that do not cover the heat vent during use.




The PaPa pocket theater features an extension of its focus on the back of the projector. From the left to the right in the figure above, it is a 3.5mm audio interface, TF card socket, USB interface, reboot hole, and micro USB interface.





Colorful applications

The composition of the menu section is similar to that of an ordinary set-top box. Pre-installed network-playing video software mainly includes “TV cat”, “Thailand” and “CIBN”. The video content such as movies and televisions is rich in content and can basically satisfy the network. Play request, if you have higher requirements for network playback, you can also install your own APP, papa no restrictions on the installation of third-party APP, which in the broadcast TV set-top box to block the installation of third-party APP function is how to force the performance! If there is no online search for the desired APP, it can also be pushed and installed through the Goku remote control on the mobile phone. Other built-in applications include "Sofa Manager", "Game Game Room" and "QQ Music." I believe everyone is familiar with these softwares, which will allow you to add a pleasant experience to this small projection.




The minimum delivery distance of papa is 20 cm. This distance keeps the image clear. The area to be put is exactly the size of a 5.5-inch mobile phone. The longest distance for it is about three meters. It is not practical to look at the movie farther. However, because of the limit of 100 lumens, the image will be dimmed even if it is put in 3 meters away from the environment. It will lose its appreciation value.




All black environment, about 1 meter from the wall, papa's delivery size is about 40 inches, at this time set the brightness adjustment in the brightest, put the image is bright and not dazzling, looking very comfortable, the picture is clear and natural, rich details This is due to the DLP display technology of Texas Instruments of the United States. It has been reported that the technology has achieved 85% market share in digital cinema projectors. It can be seen that the technology is very mature and the effect is expected to be good. Based on the conditional restrictions, the projected objects of this experience are all large white walls in the home. If a screen with a special projection is added, it is believed that the effect will rise to a higher level.




Three meters away from the headboard in the bedroom, the image is slightly wider than the 1.8 meter headboard. Actually there are more than 2 meters, the brightness is acceptable, and in the all black environment, a 100-inch projection with practical value is finally realized, though There is a diamond-like grainy look, but if you look at the video, there is not much impact. As long as the focus is accurate, the image is still sharp and sharp. Speaking of video, papa cannot play 4K HD, and several APPs cannot be played. However, 1080P has already met my needs. Different positioning and different prices have made this effect acceptable.







Wide open brain hole tricks

I think portable projection is only a waste of tools for watching movies. Due to its compactness and lightness, you can develop many application scenarios. You can put it in a place where many large projectors cannot be placed to achieve some special functions.







Holographic projection, originally used flat play, this time you can change the big funnel




Painting composition is simply a tool for creation and copying.




Switch painting can be so EASY

Use the display settings function to achieve the rear projection, lifting and other application scenarios. The following figure shows the projection of the papa behind the glass table. From then on, you can have an absolute waterproof screen. Of course, this is just a demonstration, the specific use of There will also be problems such as easy kicking of the projections and dropping of the lens. If the problems can be solved in the early stages, then how interesting is the application of this small projection in life.




Take a look at the news weather forecast and report, and do everything, but still the premise, because the lumen is limited, the ambient light as dark as possible to have a good effect, if there is a candle light dinner, then with a beautiful music, casting a lyrical Video, even if it is a paragraph, or a few pictures will make the soft atmosphere more intense.




Open the brain hole research wonderful application scene, I made a flashlight picture, the middle of the black background painted a circle filled with white, a few words on the edge of the circle, a luxurious flashlight was born in this picture in the projection distance of 5 meters , The effect is absolutely great, the light is evenly distributed. It is much better than the traditional dazzling big spot in the middle of the flashlight. You can also make more patterns and change the flashlight spot pattern at any time. Of course, as a flashlight, it's too depraved, but The portability of papa allows it to be used on more occasions.




Another example is the projection of the following picture, let the sweetheart take a look at the north wind and snow, if the sky is darker, the eye-catching pattern can throw more than 100 inches without problems, papa as a weapon for courtship, more economical and environmentally friendly than flowers, After the shutdown, the pattern can be recycled, but it will not be used next time.




In addition to the same screen projection function, wireless U disk or NAS can also be used on the papa, and after the establishment of hot spots, the Wukong remote control of the mobile phone can also play a role, do not have to rely on the router at any time to control the papa, the original remote control can rest. And the cloud can not only provide wireless storage, but also can provide 5000mAh capacity, the maximum charging current of 2.4A to papa as charging treasure, the two is the best partner, ready to build a wireless environment, want to broadcast.




The fan sound of papa is always light and inaudible. Touching various parts of the case by hand after one hour of continuous projection can only be said to be a warm hand. With a temperature gun test, the room temperature is 20 degrees and the temperature at the hottest point of the body is measured. 32.5 degrees, from the shell temperature point of view cooling performance is good, the other projection also has no obvious phenomenon of coke, the internal heat of the impact of the lens control is also in place, the overall performance and stability.




Product Market Positioning and Usage Summary

First of all, this is a very powerful smart home theater, because its hardware configuration is relatively strong, so it can support a lot of applications, but as a projection product, it is more oriented to the high-definition video experience, PPT's display, so it's The audience will surely be those who love HD movies and TV shows, and who need to make speeches whenever and wherever they want.
