Engrave A1 "home-level" smart projector evaluation: 2800 light source lumens, support AI voice operation

Engraved Ceker is a new "member" of the domestic smart projector brand. After entering the market, the first intelligent projector launched by Engraved Ceker is the engraved H1 for commercial users. Perhaps it is based on the desire to expand more user groups, rather than limited to business users, so Keker Ceker recently launched a smart projector for home users: Keker A1.

So, not much to say, this review article will take everyone to get to know this home-level smart projector: engrave A1, and see if it meets the requirements of home use.

Simple style appearance, the use of "dust-proof filter" design is the highlight

Let’s start with the appearance to get to know Engraved A1. The overall appearance of Engraved A1 adopts a simple style, basically without any decorations, lines and other designs. At the same time, the color of the whole machine is mainly "gray", the workmanship is not bad, but the personality is insufficient and the whole machine is slightly too large.

Engraved A1 has a projection lens on the front of the fuselage, and the projection technology uses LCD, 9th generation image quality engine, LED light source, brightness of 2800 light source lumens, and resolution of 1920*1080. As for engraving I will show you the specific projection effect of A1 in detail later.

More detailed real shots of the front of A1.

It is worth mentioning that Engraved A1 also comes with a lens protective cover when leaving the factory. It is recommended to install it when Engraved A1 is not used. After all, the projection lens is one of the most important parts of a projector.

Maybe you want to make engraved A1 can be used in addition to home scenes, so engraved A1 is designed more abundantly for the rear interface. The above picture is an example. From left to right, these interfaces are Ethernet interface, two USB interfaces, one 3.5mm audio interface, one AV interface, and two HDMI interfaces. And there is a power interface and a speaker on the left under the interface.

In addition,There is one more design of Engraved A1 that is very good. I need to mention it to you. That is, Engraved A1 has designed the power supply in the fuselage. You only need to connect a power cord to use it. This is suitable for small users with hoisting requirements. As far as partners are concerned, don't worry about how to properly place the projector's power supply when ceiling-mounted.

A real shot of the details of the engraved A1 top cover. I personally feel that there should be an engraved Ceker brand logo on the top cover, otherwise it is too simple.

There are several shortcut buttons and power button on the top cover of the engraved Ceker. When you can't find the remote control, you can use these buttons to carry out "emergency rescue". I don't believe my friends are not facing Through the dilemma of "the remote control is not found for a while". By the way, there is also a circle of reminder lights on the power button. The color is different in different states, like it will turn blue when it is turned on.

engraved A1 on the air inlet on the left side of the fuselage. There is a "removable HEPA high efficiency filter". Simply put, it is a dustproof filter element, which can effectively avoid accumulation in the air inlet due to long use time Dust, after all, a projector is a device that sits still for a long time, and dust accumulation cannot be avoided over time.

The dust-proof filter element engraved with A1 at the same time also supports disassembly and self-cleaning. By the way, the focusing method of engraved A1, that is, the way to adjust the clear projection picture is manual focusing, which is to adjust the focus through the device on the left side of the dust-proof filter element above.

And the right side of A1 is the air outlet.

The picture above is a real shot of the remote control that engraved A1 shipped from the factory. In addition to the remote control, a power cord and documentation are also included. In addition, the remote control of Engraved A1 not only has conventional volume, direction control, confirmation and other operations, but also has signal source switching, aspect ratio mode switching, and projection mode switching (such as front projection, rear projection, etc.), usually others Brand projectors need to enter the system settings when performing these operations, and the remote control for Engraved A1 is sufficient.It is a lot more convenient.

2800 light source lumens, 1080P resolution design, projection image quality is not bad

Let's enter the part of the projection effect of engraving A1. The above picture is the effect of using engraved A1 to project a white wall. If there is a certain distance from the projected wall and curtain, then the projected picture of engraved A1 will be larger. However, the projection ratio of Engraved A1 is not very short, 1.5:1, which means that you need a longer distance to project a larger picture. Here is an example: if you want to project a 100-inch picture, you need 3.3 The projection distance of meters.

In addition, Keke A1 uses a smart system based on Android 9.0. The entire system interface is similar to the current smart TVs on the market, and the content of the display interface is mostly based on video resources. At the same time, the system of Keke A1 supports the installation of third-party APP, without the permission to close it.

Engraved A1 supports electronic four-point keystone correction, even side projection can also be normal projection.

Carved A1 more projection effect real shot. By the way, the above projected real shot image shows a 4K resolution test video. For some projectors with poor performance, there will usually be sound but no picture or unsmooth playback when playing this kind of video. But there is no A1, and there is no pressure when playing.

In addition, I also mentioned in the previous article that the engraved A1 is equipped with Huawei's HiSilicon chip, the specific model is Hi3751, and the engraved A1 has other parameters such as 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM.

As I mentioned in the previous article, the remote control of Engraved A1 has aspect ratio mode switching, and the specific ratios that can support switching are divided into two types: 4:3 and 16:9. The picture above shows the projection effect of watching the animation "China Little Home" through CIBN Kumiao Film and Television in 16:9 ratio mode.

In addition to projecting TV, movies, games or parenting apps, Engraved A1 can also project office forms, documents, etc., of course, the premise is that the corresponding office app needs to be installed.

Some friends will say: I don't have a white wall as big as yours in my house, can I not use Engraved A1? For those who don't have a white wall, you can choose to install a screen. The above picture is a real shot of the projection effect of the engraved A1 projected on the screen. At the same time, the projected screen is the TV version of the "Invisible Guardian" game. I personally recommend that those who have a projector or are preparing to start a projector can play the "superior work" in this TV game.

By the way, Engraved A1 adopts a 5W power professionally tuned integrated large sound cavity in the sound design, which can bring a 3D surround stereo experience, no need to connect a separate speaker as an external amplifier The sound effect that comes with A1 is sure to satisfy you.

Playing games with a large projection screen engraved with A1 is also a good entertainment experience. In addition, do any friends know what game I am playing? Give everyone a hint: simulate arcade.

Detailed explanation of the AI ​​voice function of engraving A1

Engraving A1 There are some functions in the system worth mentioning, for example: AI voice experience, so I will tell you about the last part of the content AI voice function. At the same time, for the convenience of display, the pictures in this section are "system screenshots", not real shots of the projection effect! You can see it clearly, not the projection effect but the screenshot.

If you want to experience the AI ​​voice function of Engraved A1,Just press and hold the voice button on the remote control, and then say the commands you want to complete with Engraved A1, such as querying the weather, ordering songs, ordering movies, setting the volume, etc. You don’t have to bother to find any movies you want to watch in the future Up.

Use the AI ​​voice assistant to engrave A1 to check the weather effect screenshots.

In addition, the AI ​​voice assistant engraved A1 is also very fast in recognizing instructions, and basically it only takes a few seconds to feedback the correct result.

There is another interesting point, that is, Engraved A1 can set AI voice assistant voice and dialect recognition.

In addition to the female voice, you can also set the male voice. The currently supported dialect settings are relatively small, and only Cantonese, Mandarin, Sichuanese, and Henan dialects are supported.

evaluation summary

Through some experience, I think that the performance of Engraved A1 in terms of image quality, brightness, sound, and system is OK. I believe everyone should also be through the real shots above. Can you understand it? At the same time, the engraved A1 is not perfect, like the appearance design is too simple, ordinary, and there is no personality at all, and the whole machine of the engraved A1 is a bit too large and does not support electric focusing, in case the engraved A1 is used for hoisting, no For electric focusing, you need to "climb up" to adjust the focus manually.

The above is the evaluation experience of Engraved A1, a home-level smart projector. There may be some things that have not been mentioned in the article. If you have more information, please feel free to ask me questions. Let’s discuss together. .
