CHiQ B8U 4K Laser 4K Projector
With 2300 ANSIANSI ANSI lumens is a measurement of the total amount of visible light generated by a projector, as standardised by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It provides an accurate and consistent way to assess a projector's brightness, taking into account factors such as light output across the entire image, uniformity, and colour accuracy. ANSI lumens indicate the projector's brightness level, with higher values typically leading to better performance in spaces with ambient light or larger screens. lumens, fully packed with the latest laser projection technologies, Dolby VisionDolby Vision Dolby Vision is an advanced HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It enhances the viewing experience by providing scene-by-scene or frame-by-frame dynamic metadata to optimize the HDR output. This technology enables compatible displays to deliver brighter highlights, more contrast, and a wider range of colors, resulting in stunning and true-to-life visuals. Dolby Vision aims to provide a more immersive and true-to-life viewing experience by dynamically adjusting the picture settings for each scene, ultimately leading to enhanced image quality and realism., and Dolby AtmosDolby Atmos Dolby Atmos is an innovative audio technology that provides a more immersive and realistic sound experience for listeners. By incorporating height channels and object-based audio, Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional audio space, allowing sound to move around and above the listener, enhancing the overall audio experience. This technology is widely used in cinemas, home theaters, and sound systems, offering an unparalleled level of audio immersion and realism. support, powered by Google’s Android TV system, CHiQ B8U delivers a bright, high-quality 4K image with vivid colour and high contrast for your home theatre.
High colour accuracy, low input lag, 4K full-time MEMCMEMC MEMC (Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation) is an image processing technology utilised in projectors to enhance the quality of fast-moving images and reduce motion blur during video playback. The MEMC technology functions by analysing the motion in the original video content and then creating and inserting interim frames between the existing frames. This process effectively increases the frame rate of the video, resulting in smoother transitions and reduced motion blur, especially during fast-paced sequences or high-action content. By intelligently interpolating frames, MEMC can significantly improve the visual experience when viewing fast-moving content such as sports events or action-packed movies on a projector. This technology aims to deliver sharper, more fluid motion, enhancing the viewing experience and ensuring that the projected images maintain clarity and smoothness, even during dynamic motion sequences. In summary, MEMC image processing technology for projectors enhances the visual quality of fast-motion content, contributing to a more immersive and enjoyable viewing experience for audiences. and 3D support make B8U stand out.

Key Projector tech specifications from manufacturers, including brightness, contrast, colour gamutcolour gamut Colour gamut refers to the range of colours a projector can display. It is typically measured using the CIE 1931 colour space, which visualizes the range of colours visible to the human eye in a two-dimensional diagram. This colour space represents a projector's colour gamut, showing the specific colours that the projector can accurately reproduce. Rec. 709, also known as BT.709, is a standard colour gamut used in high-definition television (HDTV) and Blu-ray discs. It defines the colour space for HDTV with a specific range of colours that can be reproduced. The Rec. 709 colour space is smaller than the human eye's full range of colours, but it has been widely adopted for HD content production and display. On the other hand, Rec. 2020, also known as BT.2020, is a standard encompassing a significantly wider colour gamut than Rec. 709. It is designed to represent a much larger range of colours, closer to what the human eye can see. Rec. 2020 is often associated with ultra-high-definition content and next-generation display technologies, offering a more extensive palette of colours for more vibrant and lifelike imagery. The measurement of color gamut involves using a spectrophotometer or a colorimeter to analyze the projector's output across various wavelengths of light. This data is then plotted on the CIE 1931 color space diagram to visualize the projector's color gamut. This allows for a quantitative assessment of the projector's color reproduction capabilities according to specific color gamut standards such as Rec. 709 or Rec. 2020., input lag, etc., can sometimes be incomplete or misleading.

*with XPR technologyXPR technology XPR (eXpanded Pixel Resolution) technology is a sophisticated pixel-shifting technique utilised in 4K projectors to enhance image quality. By employing XPR, 4K projectors can create a higher-resolution image by rapidly shifting individual pixels diagonally, doubling the number of pixels displayed on the screen. This advanced process enables 4K projectors to deliver incredibly detailed and sharp images that resemble native 4K resolution, resulting in a visually immersive viewing experience with exceptional clarity and lifelike detail.

Throw RatioThrow Ratio The throw ratio of a projector refers to the ratio of the distance between the projector and the screen to the width of the projected image. This ratio determines the size of the image based on the projector's distance from the screen, making it a crucial factor in choosing the right projector for a specific space. To calculate the distance between the projector and its screen using the throw ratio, one can use the following formula: Distance = Throw Ratio x Width of the Image For instance, if a projector has a throw ratio of 1.5:1 and the desired width of the image is 6 feet, the distance from the projector to the screen would be 1.5 x 6 = 9 feet. Understanding the throw ratio and its calculation is essential for setting up a projector to achieve the desired image size and optimal viewing experience based on the available space.

Keystone Adjustmentkeystone adjustment The keystone adjustment feature on a projector corrects the trapezoidal distortion of the projected image that can occur when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. This distortion happens when the projector is tilted vertically or horizontally, resulting in a skewed or trapezoid-shaped image rather than a perfect rectangle. The keystone adjustment allows users to digitally manipulate the projected image's shape, correcting the trapezoidal distortion and ensuring that the image appears rectangular and proportional. This feature is especially useful when the projector cannot be placed directly in front of the centre of the screen due to space constraints or mounting limitations. By adjusting the keystone settings, users can align the projected image with the screen, resulting in a more accurate and visually pleasing display.

eArceArc eARC, or enhanced Audio Return Channel, is an HDMI feature that enables high-quality audio signals to be transmitted from a television to an audio system or soundbar using a single HDMI cable. This advanced feature allows for the transmission of uncompressed and higher bandwidth audio signals, supporting formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for immersive audio experiences. The main difference between ARC (Audio Return Channel) and eARC lies in their capabilities. ARC, which was introduced with HDMI 1.4, allowed for audio to be sent from a television to an audio system over an HDMI cable. However, ARC had limitations in terms of bandwidth and supported audio formats. On the other hand, eARC, introduced with HDMI 2.1, represents a significant advancement over ARC. eARC offers higher bandwidth and supports advanced audio formats, enabling the transmission of high-resolution, uncompressed audio, including object-based audio such as Dolby Atmos, directly from the TV to external audio devices. This results in improved audio fidelity and a more immersive audio experience compared to the limitations of ARC. In summary, the key differences between ARC and eARC are the bandwidth capabilities and support for advanced audio formats. eARC provides a superior audio transmission solution, especially for high-fidelity audio and immersive audio formats, compared to the original ARC standard.
