This article is based on the principle of no pollution and no added, and strives to be proud of objective factual statements, and is ashamed of the sensation of the heart. Beware of simplicity and avoid becoming a binding cloth. Therefore, only from the major aspects of the rough record of the home theater experience, but also count for themselves to stay at the end, ready for later investigation. If you want to go into more detail, you have to write a long article, and then leave it to the next time.
outlineFirst, demand analysis
Second, the objective conditions
Third, the program design
Fourth, equipment selection
V. Installation and implementation
Sixth, use experience
1, want to let baby early contact with various early education videos, high-quality animation, but want to protect the baby's eyesight (do not want to let baby watch TV)
2, taking into account the movie and television broadcast (the wife likes to watch movies)
3, the entire system to assume the responsibility of the family audio-visual center (elimination of television)
4, the system use time most of the time when the baby is sleeping, can not open loud, so the sound effect can be required is not high
5, listening to music, using another system alone, so this home theater does not need to take care of the needs of HIFI
6. All new equipment that you move into your home must be safe and environmentally friendly (Lessons about the choice of curtains will be mentioned later)
Comprehensive considerations, a home theater system based on image quality, supplemented with sound quality, and projection as the axis can meet the demand
1, not a new house decoration, only the embedded surround speaker cable, there is no embedded HDMI Cable
2. There is a set of theater speakers, including the old AV amplifier (supports next-generation audio decoding)
3, only the living room party, the distance from the TV wall to the sofa wall is about 4.6 meters, the width of the TV wall after going to both sides of the speakers and air conditioning cabinet machine is not rich (constrain the choice of the screen size and projector model)
4, there is no embedded network cable in various locations, so the network connection between devices can only go through WIFI (data transmission rate is indeed a bottleneck)
As mentioned earlier, this time tossing is not intended to double-tune the television and projection. The living room TV is old and we plan to eliminate it and throw it away. After the upgrade of the system, it must be able to meet the requirements of multi-directional video playback, so it needs to be able to play:
1. TV programs (Lianguang Electric Top Box)
2, baby's cartoon (downloaded file or your own DVD rip down the file, put on the PC, use the HD box to play through the LAN)
3, local high-definition movies (hard disk HD box, or through the LAN to play the file on the PC)
4, online video (HD box connected to the Internet player)
5, direct mobile phone screen (Android DLNA and Apple's Airplay must support)
The biggest trouble with the solution design is that there is no embedded HDMI cable, so there are only two options in the design, choose a projector with a wireless module, or choose an independent wireless transmission device to match an ordinary projector. At present, there are few projector models with wireless modules, and they are not known for their quality, so the last option chosen is the latter. A sketch of the plan was drawn by hand and you will be there.
Based on the principle of no waste, existing theater speakers and AV amplifiers continue to be used (and the sound quality requirements are not high anymore), and desktop computers have the right to act as NAS. Additional purchases are:
1. Projector (including brackets): Various brands were compared in various ways. Analysis and selection were made between 3LCD, DLP, and SXRD. Finally, from the perspective of image quality, we chose SONY's HW40ES, taking into account the quality requirements and cost performance (no higher grade models were selected, because higher performance is not my main appeal, for example, 4K is not required).
2. Projection screen (select the easy-to-install picture frame screen, the size of 100 inches has just met the objective limitation of room size)
3, wireless high-definition video transmission module (multiple comparison selected after the WHDI technology ZINWELL products)
4, high-quality HDMI cable (connected between the power amplifier and wireless transmission module, player and amplifier. Can not be too bad, otherwise it will be the system bottleneck)
5, high-definition video box (need to support hard disk Blu-ray hard disk player, LAN SMB or NFS player, Internet video player, mobile screen)
6, hard disk box (insert hard disk, connect high-definition box to play hard disk HD movie)
After weighing all aspects, the final selection is as follows (including existing equipment, included). Many devices are not able to find the Jingdong link, that is, can not put the Taobao link, then list the approximate price for the value of friends refer to it
TIPS
1. Insert a lesson about the projection screen: If the budget permits, do not consider cheap curtains. Due to material reasons, there is a large probability that the odor will be great. At the beginning, I chose a 100-inch fiber-optic picture frame screen (price of about 1,000 yuan) that Mesit sold only on the Internet platform. At home, after unpacking, it found that the appearance was very beautiful, but it tasted great, and it did not know how long it took. To disperse. Taking into account the family's health, resolutely returned, re-election of another brand recommended by the projector supplier, the quality is much better. Losses and losses on the money are not to say, and time and energy are not wasted. Another sentence, personally think that the 1000-dollar curtain is not as good as a white wall, the effect may not be improved, how can the white wall not stink and save money, right?
2. Regarding the choice of AV amplifiers, individuals think that they should choose new technologies as much as possible. Audio and video, technology updates faster. For example, HDMI 2.0, 4K, Dolby Panorama, even DLNA and Airplay network functions that have just emerged in the past two years, basically the old models of amplifiers will not support. My old style ONKYO has no DLNA and Airplay features, so I had to use my brains on HD boxes. In addition, if it is a living room party, there is no dedicated audio and video room, and no room acoustics treatment, then you do not pay attention. The entry-level next generation amplifiers of ONKYO or DENON are sufficient to meet the requirements. New technologies can basically be supported in place, and the price is cheap enough. Also, the more input and output of HDMI, the better. My old ONKYO only has two HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, very stretched, often have to swap HDMI cable to switch between different sources. Of course, you can say that with an HDMI hub is not finished? But what if the power amplifier interface is more convenient?
3, as long as not too old AV amplifier, basically can decode various audio source code (such as various Dolby, dts surround sound effects), and the next generation of audio source code (such as Dolby TrueHD, dts-HD, some new models are also available Decoding Dolby Surround. Therefore, when selecting audio and video sources, try to choose the output with the source code (of course, the same source output, the effect can also have a big gap). Professional things should be given to professional equipment.
4, "I did not pre-embedded HDMI cable, do not want to pull another long and ugly line, supposed to?" Strongly push ZINWELL's wireless high-definition video transmission module, or other wireless modules based on WHDI technology. Measured stable without delay, true 1080P HD.
5, HD box vs. Blu-ray player: In fact, I am a strong heart and recommend OPPO Blu-ray player, whether it is 103d or 105d, in the corresponding price audio quality are top level (luxury level of expensive equipment Do not come to bar, oh, operation is smooth, and after the jailbreak function is basically invincible. However, considering that the total cost of the upgrade hopes to be controlled, the OPPO is ultimately not bought.
6, home-made high-definition box vs. commercially available box: In fact, very simple, since do not want to pay more money on OPPO Blu-ray, then I was itch to drumming things. The Odroid C2 should be the single-board computer with the strongest hardware based on the current price/performance ratio and is very suitable for home media centers. Therefore, there is no more then, to get started, to brush with the original Kodi, how are better than the various xbmc running on Android smooth? I am afraid that there is only a box in the market for the second generation of Wii can fight a battle, and this cargo looks like the C2 hardware parameters are very similar. Do not know if you have value friends have bought the Power 2 generation? The following table is a simple comparison
Insert photos and buy links for some devices. I'm sorry that the Taobao link is not allowed to be put. Some devices don't find the right link on Jingdong (there are also third parties who are settled in), so many devices cannot be linked. Fortunately, the above table is marked with the product model.
SONY HW40ES 3D 1080P Projector (for offline dealers, sorry, no suitable link)
ISK/ESK 100-inch 16:9 HD White Curtain (Buy from offline dealers, sorry no suitable link)
Odroid C2
ONKYO / Onkyo TX-SA605 (old style, put a similar section of Jingdong it)
JAMO/Junbao D570+S403 set speaker ( old style, put a similar section of Jingdong it)
Kaibul HDMI Line A Series
ZINWELL WHD-200T wireless high-definition video transmission module
ORICO Double Disk Enclosure
The projectors (including brackets) and the local integrators that the curtains finally found were bought (of course, people have an online shop, and the link will be placed below), so they simply enjoy a little extra money to enjoy the installation service, so there is no trouble. Of course, a friend with strong hands-on skills can consider installing it, especially if you shop online. Actually, there is no choice. The lifting of the projector needs to be leveled, and it looks like the screen is difficult for one person to get together.
TIPS : The installation of the projector, and looking back, still feel that a simple pallet on the direct wall is more reliable and safer. Hanging on the stand, slowly over time, you will find that the projected position will shift. No way, the rigidity of the material of the brackets. Moreover, SONY this big hanging wall, psychologically still a bit less practical.
What is the audiovisual effect? ​​There is no right to say no comparison. What's more, I'm talking about here again. It's just a piece of paper that comes from a prosecutor's reading. It's better not to comment.
In short, the various needs of family members have been basically met. The baby is very happy watching cartoons. The wife watching movies also feels that the big screen is very good. It is enough. However, on the whole, this system still has the major drawback of operational difficulties. It requires the use of multiple different remote controllers to complete the switching and playback of different video sources. Follow-up may consider adding a smart remote to ease it.
Take a look at each device, simply comment on:
SXRD technology SONY projector, the effect is indeed first-class, pleasing. Compared with other brands with the same price, they are obviously superior in color and black level. And the noise control is excellent. When working on the top of the head, the sound from the projector will not be noticed. Dafa black technology does make people feel bad.
ZINWELL's wireless audio and video transmission module, based on the mature WHDI technology, has no delay in the actual use of screen transmission, and the work is very stable. A very wise choice.
As a "high-definition box", Kodi (LibreELEC) on the C2 platform perfectly qualified for the home high-definition audio and video center (audio and video sources). Its rich features, easy to solve a variety of high-definition video files, including the Blu-ray original disk, and the operation is extremely smooth. What is the effect of various boxes on the market? Sorry, no more than a bad comment. Private thought does not say that the rolling, but the majority won without suspense. Compared with the OPPO Blu-ray Disc player? Sorry, no comparison, but I believe it is better than OPPO. There is a lot of stories about how to build a Kodi with C2, and leave it for the time to write another one.
Finally, put photos and videos to an end (to mention, no rainbow effect is observed on the screen)
The overall picture of the system (the room is really too messy, but shame!!! But this article is not focused on the room, right?)
(I know the location of the surround speakers is wrong, but is it not the sound quality?)
