The Optima UHD 64k Projector: Unboxing and First Look
When we first laid eyes on the Optima UHD 64k projector, our initial thought was that it looked like it belonged more to a professional calibrator's kit than a consumer-grade home entertainment system. The non-degradable phone attached to the side of the projector is a notable feature, as it serves as a reminder that these devices are delicate instruments that require careful handling and maintenance.
As we began our examination of the back of the projector, we noticed that all of the inputs were neatly arranged in one convenient location. There was an AC input, two custom integration ports for those who want to control the projector as part of a larger system, a VGA input, and audio input and output jacks. The presence of an HDMI port with HDCP 2.2 capabilities is particularly noteworthy, as it suggests that this projector can handle high-definition content from devices such as 4K Roku or Blu-ray players. Additionally, there was a USB power out and a trigger for integrators who are building complex systems.
A closer look at the underside of the projector revealed the four mounting holes for ceiling mounts, as well as screws for leveling the device. This is an important consideration, as many projectors can be prone to tilting or angling issues when mounted on a ceiling. The remote control was also examined, and it featured a range of basic controls including brightness, contrast, mode, and menu options.
One feature that caught our eye was the brightly backlit navigation keys on the remote, which made it easy to access and adjust various settings without having to fumble around in the dark. A small panel on the underside of the projector released, allowing us to access the zoom and lens shift controls – both of which were demonstrated as essential for achieving precise image alignment and adjustment.
The lens itself was a notable feature of the Optima UHD 64k projector, with a built-in cap that helped to protect it from dust and debris. The manual focus control was also appreciated, as it allowed users to fine-tune their image quality without relying on automated settings. Finally, the remote control's ease of use and intuitive layout made it clear that this projector was designed with home entertainment in mind.
In conclusion, our unboxing and first look at the Optima UHD 64k projector has left us with a strong impression of its capabilities and design. From the non-degradable phone on the side to the bright backlit remote control, every aspect of this device suggests that it is built for professionals who demand high-quality image reproduction. With careful handling and maintenance, the Optima UHD 64k projector promises to deliver exceptional picture quality and performance – making it an excellent choice for those in the market for a high-end home entertainment system.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi today we are unboxing and doing a first look at the Optima UHD 60 projector this is one of the most exciting projectors of 2017 because it's a real 4k projector with HDR processing all under $2,000 that's pretty remarkable let's have a look here's everything that comes in the box you get a chunky AC cable a nice included HDMI cable for backyard presentations or business presentations a backlit remote more on that in a second batteries for the remote the manual is on a cd-rom and then of course we've got the projector itself now I don't usually spend a lot of time talking about the packing materials but there's a couple of notable things here one this is that non-degradable phone that's not going to leave little white pills everywhere - these are delicate instruments so if you ever need to transport them you want to transport them in the box keep that lens from breaking or from internal components jostling around we're taking a look at the back of the projector now where all of your inputs are and I just want to run through everything it's got it's got an AC input here these two pieces are for custom integration so if you want to control this projector as part of a larger system that's what you would use these ports for you get two HDMI inputs only one of them appears to be hdcp 2.2 so if you're going to be connecting 4k Roku or maybe a 4k blu-ray player you want to use the HDMI to port for that there's also a VGA input that's a little old-school but it's included here we've got an audio input and audio output jack you could actually use this to connect to a pair of speakers if you're doing a backyard presentation USB power out to charge a device if you need to there's a 12 volt out trigger that's four integrators again if you're making this part of a large system we also have a USB input so that we can access flash media and an optical digital audio output up top you'll find a little panel if you press down on it it'll release will pull this back not a fan of this it feels a little flimsy but fortunately you're not going to need to get in here that often but you need to access this area because this is where you'll find your zoom and your lens shift area zoom obviously makes the image bigger on the screen lens shift allows you to move the lens up and down just a little bit so that you're just a little bit off on the screen you can get it perfectly centered up front we have our lens this is the business end of things here and it comes with a little lens cap I like that because when you're not using the projector you can cover things up and keep the lens from getting dusty also this is where you're gonna do your focus we do a little manual focus right here a little bit of focus goes a long way on the right side of the projector you will find some basic controls there's a power button here and an input switching button here along with a menu button and some navigation keys you're not going to want to use that very often though because the remote is just so much easier also I wanted to show you it's very brightly backlit and this is great because often projectors are going in very dark rooms and you need to be able to see what you're doing before you start pressing buttons okay so I've flipped over the projector for a couple of reasons one if you're going to put this on a tabletop of some sort you'll want to access these feet these screw out so that you can both level the projector but also you can give it a little bit of up angle or down angle as needed also you'll find that the four holes for mounting this to the ceiling are located on the underside of the projector you always flip this over and mount it upside down now a little bit about projector mounts if you're gonna get a projector mount and install it yourself I highly recommend that you go with one like this that offers a fine level of pitch and attitude control so that you can get your projector positioned just right the remote has some basic controls for brightness and contrast you can just pull them up using one of these two buttons here there's also a mode button and I would encourage you to play around with what looks best to you but I prefer the HDR mode especially when there's some ambient light in the room it's a great place to start from there you're gonna want to go into the settings menu and make sure you've got the orientation of the image right especially if you flip this projector over in order to ceiling mounted here you can change the orientation of the image then we want to bounce out of there and take a look at some of these test patterns here we can put up a few different colored grids and get a white out screen to make sure that we've adjusted the projector just enough so that it's filling the screen fully but not over projecting or under finally you can dig in for some more granular control some of these go beyond what the basic user might want to attempt to adjust but if you have a professional calibrator come out they'll be using these to dial this in to cinematic quality levels that's it for our unboxing and first look at the Optima UHD 64k
