When you are alive, you will have a dream.
Realizing all kinds of dreams is the driving force and goal of hard struggle.
What dream did you have in childhood?
Do you remember childhood childhood theater? In the summer, the small partners were in groups of three and a half. They had eaten dinner early and moved to the square all the way to Madanga. They smashed five drinks and six, pushed and shoved, and seized the favorable terrain to wait for the movie. Are you still vivid? When I grow up, I must have my own private cinema. Do you have such a dream?
With the same partners I have dreamed of, dreams come true. Extremely Z3 Dream Edition brings you a very cost-effective private big-screen home theater experience, spend small money, do big things, double 11 this year.
There was once a childhood dream that made me dream. Now I finally have a chance to realize this little dream. I don’t want to miss it. I’m sorry, little buddies, what do you think? Come on! Dreams come true.

Unpacking

Zimi Dream Z3 still uses white carton packaging. It is still a world cover design. The design style of the box surface is completely different from the previous Z3 series. The big artistic word "dream" on the top is like a pencil sketch when I was a child, and it symbolizes the meticulous depiction of dreams in our childhood. "Dream, do you still remember?" A short sentence reminded me of my childhood memories. A few strokes below it outline an empty open-air cinema with no audience, as this is your private cinema. The slogan “No Screen Super TV” on the side is quite domineering, where does this domineering come from, and I’m going to detail it in detail. On the other side, the LOGO of Z3Dream (Dream Edition) and the English slogan of "180-inch Super TV in it" are even more imaginative. Maybe in this small box, it bears my childhood dream. The sky-blue background on the underside is a big move in the dream version. The blue sky holds up the white clouds. The dream of childhood should have been this color. On the bottom surface, in addition to the contact information of the site, etc., a brief list of product selling points and accessories, as well as inspection and certification standards passed by the product.


The packaging fits closely and there is no reserve that can be leveraged, so the opening is somewhat laborious. After opening, this layer of black pearl cotton compartment is still visible, which can play a protective role for the host, but also adds a hint of mystery.


Set off this layer of pearl cotton, dream version of the debut.


Temporarily remove the host, is a black plastic bracket, close to the host, to protect the host role. Pay attention to the black square paper bag in the middle, when the author first tested the meter machine, once ignored its existence, the paper bag was filled with instructions and certificate of the machine.


The brackets were removed and the tightly fitting areas were exposed. On each individual package, the accessories sample drawings were also carefully listed.


This square box is the power adapter for HuntKey OEM. 19V, 3.42A output specifications, through 3C certification, HuntKey products, can be trusted.


Inside the small rectangular box is the remote control and AV cable.


The remote control still follows the new black remote control of MiMi. It is small and exquisite, with 15 key design. In addition to the main function keys of the Android version, it also adds shortcut function keys, a key 3D, and unique Customize function keys, you can select the actual functions that define this key as needed in the setting options. There will be relevant instructions below. Infrared signal, but powerful, can basically achieve no dead end remote control.


The AV cable facilitates connection to the output signal from older machines.


Family portrait.


Enjoy the top of the host from all angles. The top surface is white acrylic panel, white and flawless, the center is English and Chinese font body LOGO, the right is the manual focus knob, the biggest change here is that the dream version top panel is no longer set panel buttons, but there is a remote control Under the premise of mouse and mouse, the control through the panel keys is rare, so the omission here has little effect on the actual manipulation.


The front panel lens is covered by a magnetic cover plate, which can be easily removed during use. When not in use, it can be easily covered to prevent the machine from entering the ash or scratching the lens.


Front and rear panels and the bottom are made of black high-quality engineering plastic material, frosted process, surrounding and bottom full of cooling holes, redesigned cooling holes to form a complete wind, which will help the machine cooling, the actual control, boot more than two hours, near the light machine The panel is only slightly warmer than body temperature, and the heat control is quite good.


The metal layer around the dream version of the host uses a sky blue consistent with the packaging, which is in contrast to the white top surface. Perhaps this is the color of the dream.


Rear panel from left to right, from top to bottom in order for the TF card slot, power connector, two USB2.0 interface, power indicator, hardware switch, HDMI interface, digital audio output interface, AV interface, wired network port and headphones Interface, built-in WIFI module. Due to cost constraints, the TF card included in Dream Edition has been reduced from the original 8G to 4G.


The bottom center nameplate is a dream version of the brand and electrical information, below the nameplate is the hanging bracket hole. The cooling holes scattered around to ensure the stable operation of the machine, reducing the emergence of virtual focus coke phenomenon.


The four foot pads around the bottom surface play the role of anti-slip and auxiliary heat dissipation. The front two foot pads are designed as a miniature support that can be rotated and raised to adjust the projection angle to adapt to different projection environments.

Summary Mi Z3 dream version of the packaging on the specific optimization, the flagship dream brand, the color of the white and blue to make the machine a lot of smart. The main unit omits the panel keys, and the attached memory card is changed to 4G. It is no longer bundled with 3D glasses. If there is a need in this area, it needs to be matched.

UI and basic function test

The Z3 Dream Edition UI is still based on the content of China TV.


The advantages of the license plate's genuine video are stable and clear. For ordinary users, stability is the last word, and you don't have to worry about overnight. The downside is that it is subject to copyright restrictions, the new speed is not enough, the video source selection is narrow, and many video content needs to pay for viewing, which obviously does not meet the current video consumption habits of the Chinese people.
The "Four Greatest Names" in the "Recommended Content" is really not a new movie.


The TV section will no longer go into details. The content of China TV has been known to all. Interested users can move forward to view the product in front of the author. Focusing on the new online 3D section, a total of 22 3D movies have been included and are constantly being updated. I tried to watch a few films, that is, broadcast, 3D effect is also very good. Most of the 3D sources are bulky and require a lot of time and resources to download. The opening of a dedicated 3D online area undoubtedly saves users time and storage space. The disadvantage is that the update speed needs to be improved and the source library is not large enough. Can not meet the demand for high-definition movie fans viewing.


In the local section, the main input signal source is switched, and different input devices can be selected according to individual needs. The media player is mainly local mobile storage and network neighborhood content. Like fans of high-definition movies, it is naturally the best choice for local viewing. The included SD card, with some 3D and HD resources, works very well.


The settings section includes application management, network settings, image advanced settings, playback settings, and other settings.


Application management section.


The advanced image settings are advanced settings for some images, including infinite zoom, projected lifting, trapezoidal correction, and more.


The network settings include wireless, wired network settings and WIFI hotspot settings. The latter can be connected to a mobile phone for U-control without network conditions.


Focus on other settings, including personalization settings, Bluetooth settings, language and keyboard settings, city settings, system backup upgrades, and system information.


In the personalization settings, the ADB permission switch is added. After the advanced user opens this permission, you can try the PC remote login to manage the application in the projection.


The custom key is another eye-catching addition worthy of a big book. You can switch the contents of the custom buttons on the remote control. The dream version offers three options: screen mode, zoom mode, and screenshot mode. The last one is The author's favorite, with the meter's HDMI input function, the pole meter machine turned into a screenshot tool, very convenient.


The boot mode can be electrified to power on and press the button to boot, according to personal preferences, you can set it yourself.


Dream Edition does not have a built-in Bluetooth module. If you want to connect Bluetooth devices, you need to choose Bluetooth adapter.


Language and keyboard settings.


City settings can be chosen automatically based on IP address.


The system backup upgrade includes the image content.


The system upgrade refers to the upgrade of the U disk. The upgrade of the firmware can be selected after the U disk is downloaded or the OTA upgrade is pushed online.

Restore factory settings options.


About, the same system information.


In addition to some remote control games, most of the game functions of the game are realized through the U control function. The mobile phone scans the QR code to obtain the download address. After the U control is installed, the mobile phone and the projection can be connected in the same local area network, and the connection can be realized. Interact with multiple screens.


Mobile U-control operation demonstration.


After connecting, click on the drop-down arrow at the top of the screen to select the same screen function. In this mode, open the game, click on the gravity sensor switch setting on the right side of the screen, and select the gravity sensor to manipulate the screen to achieve a large screen. Game experience.


Through U-control function, Dream Edition can also realize U-transmission function, that is, it can display the picture or movie resource in the mobile phone on the big screen synchronously, and can realize large-screen sharing of resources such as audio and video, which can be widely used Commercial audio and video picture data presentation, family album sharing and other scenes.


Summary Z3 Dream Edition has not shrunk in function, and the firmware has been optimized based on Z3M. The newly added 3D online function in China TV is worth recommending, but the source is slightly less. The U-control experience is almost perfect after the program version upgrade, and the multi-screen interactive experience is very commendable. Dream Edition does not have an integrated Bluetooth module. To connect a Bluetooth device, you need to purchase an adapter separately. The new version of the remote control's custom buttons is very practical, especially for the evaluation enthusiasts, almost played a capture card.

Local playback and basic ability testing

The official hardware parameter information provided by the official Z3 Dream Edition is as follows.


The CPU-Z obtains the following hardware information.


Z3 Dream Edition adopts Morningstar MSTAR dual-core chip solution, and its actual operating frequency is 1.7G, 1G storage, 4G storage, Mali400-MPGPU, Android 4.2 system, nominal brightness of 1200 lumens, support for 3D, standard resolution of 1280800 (16: 10).
Security Bunny's run score results are a bit low, but in actual operation, playing high-rate video is very smooth, drag and drop non-dating, general somatosensory 3D games run more smoothly, to meet the general application needs. Security Bunny running points can only be used as a reference evaluation program for Android machines, sometimes it cannot objectively reflect the machine performance.


Built-in WIFI module wireless LAN experience is relatively smooth, WIFI analyzer test results are as follows. The "yehaifeng" signal is about 5 meters away from the main line and is surrounded by a heavy wall.


Local video playback test results are as follows.


Nine formats of audio tests are not supported in the mka and vqf formats and cannot be played.


Dream version supports most common formats of video decoding, and also plays well for playback of various bit rate videos, but for 4K, H.265 encoded video cannot be decoded. 3D playback is a major feature of the dream version of the machine, and its support for various formats of 3D video is quite high.
The following is a partial video test shot.






Z3 Dream Edition can easily open text files, pictures, and videos in various mainstream formats without having to install additional players. The built-in rich input interface and file manager are very convenient for meeting presentations.

Summary Z3 Dream Edition is not known for hardware, and basic performance test results are not outstanding, but the actual application experience is still quite satisfactory. 720P resolution, 1200 lumens of brightness, can also basically meet the family's demand for projection products. For a variety of text, pictures, audio, video formats, good support, make business presentations easier. The 3D function is quite awesome. You only need to choose the shutter-type 3D glasses, and you can experience the shocking effect of 3D movie theaters at home. For 4K, the lack of H.265 format video support is a little regrettable. After all, the large-screen output, the requirements for the picture quality is still very high, and these advanced technologies are the strong guarantee for the future of extremely clear video.

Application Development

Dream TV's own TV content does not meet the audience's online viewing needs. In order to better enjoy the shocking effects of the large-screen theater, it also needs its own hands and clothing.
It is recommended to download and install some mainstream market software through U disk. Through these softwares, users can easily search for and download their favorite applications and converged video software.
This article takes the sofa butler as an example to illustrate that the sofa butler is a pretty good market software, with detailed classification and complete functions, and the software included is also all-embracing. Basically, it can be done in one hand and there is no other request.


It is recommended to install some mainstream video aggregation software. These softwares are rich in content, updated quickly, and have on-demand live broadcast content. They are very stable to use. More commonly used such as VST full aggregation, Tai Jie video, etc., this article takes VST all-aggregation as an example to illustrate.
The VST all-aggregate interface is elegant and updated quickly. It not only integrates rich on-demand on-demand resources, but also integrates power on the desktop, live broadcast, on-demand functions, application management, etc. It is ideal for small white users.

Summary By the impact of the radio and television ban, whether it is a box product or smart micro-projection, the factory will not be preset too many applications, but will not install too much video software. This requires everyone to do it by themselves.
Real shot screen display
At the end of the article, take a look at the actual projection effect of the dream version. This should be the user's most concerned issue. After all, the pros and cons of the projection product must ultimately be attributed to the viewing experience.
The real shots in this article were taken with a Kodak card machine with 1600W pixels and 8x optical zoom. Due to limitations of equipment and technology, the final projection effect cannot be completely objectively reflected, but it can be ensured that the real shots adopted in this article have not passed. The beautification process is only for the purpose of uploading the forums, and it has been done to reduce and apply watermarks.
All images have a projection distance of about 1.6 meters and a projection size of about 65 inches, directly on a white wall. In order to compare the projection effect under different lighting conditions, this article will put together the same pictures taken at different times to facilitate comparison. In the same group of pictures, the picture above shows the shooting without non-shielding conditions when the noon light is sufficient, and the following figure shows the effect of no light projection under the dark environment at night.
Gossip less Syria, directly on the map.




Summary After careful experience, the author believes that the quality, brightness, and projection effects of the Z3 Dream Edition are basically able to meet the functions of the general family all-weather movie viewing and business conference presentation.

to sum up
As a 2,000-level intelligent micro investment product, the appearance of compact and portable, exquisite workmanship, support for 3D, support for most of the mainstream format video, comes with Andrews 4.2 system, scalability, freedom to install applications and video aggregation software, support each This kind of signal source input device supports multi-screen interactive and somatosensory games, and the resolution, picture quality and brightness can meet the viewing requirements under most conditions. Do you have any reason to reject it?
On the 11th day of the double 11th, Z3 Dream Edition will strike at a price that is definitely enough to defeat your psychological bottom line. Let us wait and see. To dream, it is on that day!
