As everyone's leisure life becomes more and more abundant, young people nowadays choose to watch movies and relax at the time of the weekend has gradually become a daily routine. With the rise of the Chinese movie market, the Hollywood blockbusters in the past two years are impacting the history list. The single road has repeatedly reached new heights. Movies such as "Star Wars 7" and "Speed ​​and Passion 7" have achieved great success in the Chinese market. But does watching movies have to go to the cinema?
In our inherent thinking, cinemas have become the first choice for us to watch movies, followed by watching various video resources on computers or smart TVs. However, both methods have serious drawbacks. In the former, the cinema has a huge screen and the viewing experience is better, but the crowded seats, poor sanitation and environmental noises, such as distressed bear children, are all obstacles that hinder our going to the cinema. The latter, watching on a computer or smart TV, although at home, the environment is more comfortable, but subject to the limitations of the screen size and sound effects, the viewing experience is often not very good.
However, with the progress of the times and the development of technology, now we have a new choice - smart home theater, a new choice that can provide the ideal viewing effect of the cinema and provide a good viewing environment. Nuts are the leader of the smart home theater. With the leadership of technology-innovative companies such as nuts, smart home theaters are advancing rapidly. In just a few years time, smart home theaters have been promoted to theater-level viewing experiences. Today, you can enjoy movies without leaving home. Then is the dream.
As a leader in intelligent cinema, NutSmart Cinema has made independent innovation through advances in science and technology, and its projection technology has rapidly advanced, bringing intelligent cinema to a new height. Today, nuts not only subvert the living room TV market, but also focus on the cinema market. With the increasingly perfect video resources, it is no longer a dream to go beyond cinemas.
Recently, the Nuts introduced a brand new smart home theater, the Nut X1 Smart Theater. Now let's take a look at the nuts that have always been at the forefront of the times and brought us a product.

Unpacking & Hardware:
The Nut X1 Smart Theater uses a simple black box with the outline of the nut X1 as the background. The JmGO logo is printed around the body.
The paper box is very solid, heavy weight, protective and good.
After opening the box, you can see the real body of the Nut X1 smart theater. The box uses a lot of foam sponge to protect the body, and the top cover is also covered with a sponge protection layer to prevent the body from being scratched.
The included accessories are very simple, power adapter, power cord and remote control.
The shape of the remote control is very scientific and technical, the buttons are simple and intuitive, and it is equipped with a mechanical volume dial, and the volume can be adjusted by scrolling back and forth.
There is a non-slip texture design on the side of the volume dial, and the texture is good.
The remote control uses a skin-like material coating as a whole, making it hard to leave fingerprints soft and soft.
The overall body shape is simple and full of design sense, using a metal + dark plastic injection shell design, not only the air intake, heat, speaker openings are all hidden in the dark part of the black, the body is more concise, but also allows the overall design there are several kinds of Lotus style to be put, sci-fi and classical coexist, in the technology into the Chinese style, there is a mud out of the Zhuoran Tianran. The metal part adopts the metal forming plus CNC machining and baking paint process. The processing is very delicate, and the faint frosted feel is smooth and hard to leave fingerprints.
The large eyes embedded in the curved lotus leaf are the essence of the entire smart theater. The Nut X1 smart theater is equipped with a high transmittance coating lens with a projection ratio of 1.13:1. It uses a resin aspheric lens + A combination of 10 glass lenses.
Compared to the 1.5:1 lens used in mainstream products on the market, the 1.13:1 nut 1.X1 lens has a significant advantage in the projection distance. At the same distance from the wall, the nut X1 can project a larger picture. For users who have little room in the room, the advantage of 1.13:1 projection ratio is evident when the distance from the wall is limited.
The Full HD next to the lens shows that it is a pure 1080P projector. Compared with the common pure glass lens group, the spherical glass + aspheric resin lens combination can provide better display effect.
The four pieces of metal that have been treated with metal forming, CNC machining, and baking paint are like a lotus flower. The quietness of life is hidden. The data interface is located on the back of the fuselage, and the interface of the Nut X1 Smart Cinema is readily available.
The interfaces of the Nut X1 Smart Cinema are as follows: AV In Video Audio Input Interface, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Power Interface, HDMI 2.0a Interface, RJ-45 Ethernet, S/PDIF/Headphone Interface.
The DLP logo on the back indicates that the machine uses the DLP solution from Texas Instruments. Users who have a certain understanding of the smart theater know that the DLP solution is the industry's most proven solution and its service life is far beyond that of other competitors.
The side design of the nuts X1 is very combative. Sound holes are reserved on both sides of deep black injection molding. There is a 10W 48mm high-fidelity speaker on both sides. Both audio units use aluminum-magnesium alloy sound basins. .
In order to ensure the bass quality, Nuts also designed four matching subwoofer passive radiators, and four passive radiators were distributed in symmetrical positions to minimize sound-induced resonance.
The base is the most mechanical part of the machine. It also uses a dark black injection molding design. The left and right sides are the inlet and outlet respectively. The four feet at the bottom can be raised and lowered to calibrate the level.
The part without the filter is the air outlet, and the exposed black heat sink fins can be seen.
The other side of the air intake has a large area of ​​dust filters, which can also prevent the dust from entering the body while inhaling the cool air.
Fascinating in simplicity, the classic originated from simplicity. The Nut X1 smart cinema officially followed this design principle. Simple lines and classic color matching have made the Nut X1 an unforgettable appearance. It is not only an intelligent theater. It is a beautifully crafted artwork.
Projection performance test:In the projection performance test, we mainly focus on the actual projection and perception experience. Everyone knows that unlike a TV or a monitor, the projection brightness of a smart theater will decrease as the distance increases. Therefore, an intelligent theater cannot be judged simply by indicators. Good or bad, the true look and feel can best reflect the true performance of smart theaters.
The Nut X1 smart theater left us a very deep impression on the boot, and its autofocus speed is quite rapid, and the focus can be quite accurate when the camera is turned on. We have adjusted the position of the nut X1 several times in order to test the projection effect. In the process, no matter how we move the nut X1, it can focus very quickly and the focusing efficiency is very efficient. Such rapid focusing speed is practical in practical use scenes. At home or in the conference room, you can freely change the position of the nut X1 and never worry about focusing.
However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test, we still use the manual focus function to confirm the focus again before the test, to prevent the influence of the focus of our judgment. In the room lighting conditions, we shot a comparison of several real shot proofs and video shots, using the Samsung 4K demonstration film "The Seven Wonders of the World" as a template video.

In the real shot map of the Samsung 4K demonstration “The Seven Wonders of the Worldâ€, the screen style presented by the Nuts Smart Projector is more focused on the thick and heavy colors, and some scenes even have the feeling of some oil paintings. This color rich preference is just like the AMOLED screen. Although some users complain that color reproduction is not allowed, the color of their eyes is very good to please the eye, there are still many users like this style.
The Nut X1 smart theater is about 3 meters from the wall and the screen size is about 120 inches. Thanks to the excellent short-focus projection capability of the Nut X1, large area projections can be achieved within a short distance, and large screen projections are not required without a large room.
The Nut X1 boasts an ultra-high brightness of up to 950 ANSI. The screen brightness under the 120-inch projection area is still very good. In our demo film, there are a lot of high-contrast, high-contrast images, and the Nut X1 smart theater can be ideal. The performance is quite worthy of recognition.
Nut X1 as a 1080P super resolution Full HD smart theater equipment, the projection resolution is quite good, compared to ordinary projection equipment, its 1080P projection ability to bring clarity at a glance, when playing high-definition film source Can better show the details of the picture.
Clear and smooth when playing 4K local video, the display effect is more bright and bright compared to the film source. The nut X1 uses a DLP4710 DMD+DLPA3005 PMIC+DLPC3439 display controller with a full set of DLP projection solutions, and has a built-in 0.47†DMD+RGB LED display chip, which performs very well on the screen's restore and resolution capabilities, regardless of high contrast and high The picture of contrast, or the Japanese style, can be perfectly restored and its performance is quite outstanding.
Projection effect comparison:
For an intelligent cinema device, the most important thing is the projection effect. The Nut X1 Smart Theater uses a full set of DLP solutions that can achieve an amazing 950 ANSI limit brightness and uses a highly transparent coating lens with a projection ratio of 1.13:1. Its 950 ANSI brightness is a tremendous improvement over the 450 ANSI nut G1S. Almost to double the level, let us now look at how the performance of the nuts X1.
In the comparison picture, the picture above shows the original picture, the left picture shows the nut G1S, and the picture below shows the nut X1. All comparison shots were taken with the same camera parameters.
In the comparison of the standard color card, the performance of the two is relatively good, and the reduction in most colors is more accurate. The nut X1 is more accurate than the G1S in the warm color system, but the cold color is slightly better than the nut G1S. In some of the darker color performance, the nut X1 has a much lower descent than the G1S. The new technology not only brings higher brightness to the nut X1, but also brings a better descent and Better black performance.
In the effect of the Sagrada Familia, the performance of the two is very good, but the color style is different. We can clearly see that the reduction of the X1 to the sky is more accurate, the blue color is quite pure, and the color saturation is better than the G1S. In the details of the Sagrada Familia, the high-resolution advantages of the 1080P in the Nut X1 are abundant, and the restoration of the sculpture details of the cloister is quite outstanding. The G1S color saturation is somewhat low and the overall picture is somewhat white, but compared to most similar products, the performance of the Nut G1S is still excellent.
In this Eiffel Tower, the two have a very different color style. The G1S has a lighter color, while the X1 is more colorful, has a sense of oil painting, and is rich in picture layers. In the details of the performance, such as the clouds in the sky, the X1 restores the details better than the G1S. In addition, in the brightness of the highlight part of the picture, the nut X1 is significantly higher than the G1S. The bright place is bright, and the dive place dive. The excellent quality of the X1 perfectly explains what is called an excellent smart theater.
In the performance of the flowers in the sunset, the color of the nuts G1S is relatively cold, but the details of the top left haw are better, and the X1 is somewhat high in saturation, and the entire picture is more colorful. On the overall picture, the performance of X1 is still better, especially the performance of flowers and grasslands. Although there are some thick and heavy colors, the visual effects are more appealing to the user's eyes.
In the performance of the night scene on the lake, the performance of the two is very good, and the color reproduction is relatively real. The performance of the two seems to be more attractive than the original video capture. In terms of specific details, the G1S is slightly superior in the performance of the sky, but the overall performance of the screen is better on the X1. Both the color of the glass top of the building and the lush trees on the ground are all more realistic. In addition, the brighter part of the nut X1 has a higher brightness, especially the dark part under the glazed tile. ,
In the performance of the night scene sculpture, the X1 performs a lot better than the G1S. The high saturation brought by the new technology and the advantages of the 1080P high-definition are easily seen. Whether it is the performance of the sky, the color transition of the water, or the sculpture Details are better than nuts G1S.
In the performance of Mila’s apartment, the performance of G1S has been quite natural, but X1 has performed better. In terms of the color of the sky, the G1S experienced a transitional unnatural situation. On the contrary, the transition of X1 is more natural, and it is even somewhat stunning in the performance of dark clouds. Also benefiting from the increased resolution, the X1 clearly outperforms G1S in the details of the walls of the building.
The variety of colors of the colorful fruits is complex and complex. Both of them have performed well and have been reputed to be accurate. Nuts X1 is more outstanding in detail, with brighter colors and brighter colors. In the color reproduction of the left peach surface, the nut X1 also performed better, and the color profile of the apple surface was clearer than the G1S.
Acoustic performance:
The water lily has a carefully designed, built-in double 10W 48mm hi-fi speaker, which is concealed by the nuts of the water lily. Although the speaker is hidden, the sound field works well. The two audio units use an aluminum-magnesium alloy sound basin. The three bands have performed well.
Especially in the bass band, in order to ensure the quality of the bass, the nuts use four super bass passive radiators to support the speaker. The bass is full and full of potential, strong and powerful, has a strong taste when listening to the bass, and the singer has a low belt. The husky features are well restored. For bass-loving users, their performance is quite lively and dynamic. They perform well on the drums' light weight and per tap. Such a low-frequency performance can be achieved in such a compact body. Liked.
In terms of high frequency, thanks to the aluminum-magnesium alloy cone, its high frequency is quite sharp and clear. The performance of the female treble is quite crisp and explosive, the sound is sharp but not too sharp, and the high-frequency performance sounds clean and detailed.
Tri-band control performance is good, the sense of space is full, vocal relatively front, low-frequency dive well and retractable, very suitable for listening to male voice, rock, pop and a certain type of small or classical music, nuts X1 built-in The performance of our audio system surprised us a lot.
Noise & Heat Test
We tested the ambient volume before testing. After testing, our test environment noise is about 42-45 decibels. Many people may not have a definite experience of how many decibels is equivalent to the sense of hearing. Let's first look at the range of hearing that we can usually feel:
0 dB caused hearing
10dB wind blowing deciduous rustle
20 decibels whisper
30 decibels bedroom
40 dB Library/Reading Room
50 decibels office
60 dB general speaking
70 dB speak loudly
80 dB normal vehicle driving
90 decibels is noisy road
100 db tractor starts
Our test environment is only equivalent to the library-office noise level, and it is still very quiet. I hope everyone has a clear understanding of the decibels.
After the test began, we used a noise meter to test the noise level of the nut X1 after playing 1080P HD video for half an hour. We set the test points around the projector at a distance of 1.5 meters. The test results are as follows:
The measured noise is about 50 decibels at a distance of about 1.5 meters from the projector. The control is still quite good, and the sound of the fan is hardly noticed when playing the video. The viewing experience is still quite good. When used as a conference presentation, there is a slight noise, but it will hardly affect the experience.
It is worth mentioning that the machine can manually adjust the fan speed, a total of five speeds. After setting the speed to 1st gear, the noise has dropped significantly, from 59-60dB in the third gear (the test distance is 20cm) to 53-54dB, and then we also conducted a temperature test, with a speed of 1st gear. The temperature is still within the controllable range. If the noise requirement is relatively high, you can try to adjust the speed to 1st gear.
With a maximum speed of 5 rpm, the noise is only 65 decibels, which is equivalent to the normal speaking volume and is still within the ideal range.
After playing 1080P video for half an hour, the hottest position of the body is only about 39°C. The cooling effect is still quite good. You don't need to worry about the stability of the whole machine due to the overheating of the camera.
We try to use different fan speed gears for long time video playback. Whether it's 1st or 5th gear, the whole machine heat is within the controllable range. The 5th gear full open temperature is reduced to about 36°C, even if it is the highest in one file. The temperature is only 41°C, and the thermal design is quite outstanding. The design of nuts is evident.
System & Multimedia Content:
Based on Android-customized JmGO OS, Nut has customized a set of easy-to-use JmGO desktops, designed specifically for projectors with a multimedia system that is easy to use and entertaining. The style is simple and practical.
The system design is very simple, all functions are clear, and the color scheme is also very simple and bright. Entering the desktop displays some of our most commonly used functions, such as signal switching, function settings, information, search, and power settings.
In terms of Internet resources, the cooperation between Nuts and Litchi TV (ie, iQIYI), BesTV Resources, Movie Network, Douban, and Music Desk has greatly enriched the intelligent theater of nuts through the expansion of these third-party resource providers. Resources.

Nuts also provides a number of featured topics pages, and feature highlights of the topics. There are not only European Cup and Weekend Cinema special topics, but also travel season topics classified by region. Users with interest in this area can follow editorial selections to learn about local customs.
Detailed video introduction on the topic page, destination: Paris. There are countless similar movies, and nuts do have a lot of resources in terms of resources.
After the home theater entered the smart era, it was not only a projection display device, but also transformed into a multimedia center with both business and entertainment, that is, it can be a perfect business presentation tool, and it can also become a family that replaces TV in their spare time. Entertainment Center, so the richness of resources has become one of the criteria for measuring a smart theater, in which nuts do no doubt good.
to sum up:
In terms of hardware ease of use, the installation of the Nut X1 smart theater is very simple, and there are no redundant components except the power cord. After adjusting the level of the rotatable feet on the bottom, you can start using it. To trouble for simplicity, everything is designed for simplicity and practical purposes, the most popular products are often the products with the lowest cost, and the Nut X1 smart theater is such a product.
Then, in terms of system experience, Nut's specially developed JmGO custom system is simple and fast to use, and all functions are very clear. It is easy to find both online and local resources. For this type of smart home theater with home as the main market, simple and fast is a rare experience. Too many equipments pursue perfection. The huge and redundant system not only tedious operation but also slow down the system speed, which is also JmGO light The reason why the quantified system is so popular with users.
With the full introduction of the intelligent cinema of nuts into the 1080P era, the clarity of such devices has been a qualitative leap, and it has shaken off the influence of the poor resolution of conventional projection devices. High-contrast, high-brightness and high-resolution intelligent cinemas can already be used on screens. It competes with traditional movies. For modern young people who are pursuing quality of life, having a nut X1 can get rid of crowded cinemas and provide cinematic audiovisual enjoyment at home.
