1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:08,240
so today I'm going to be taking a quick look at kind of a neat product from Ben

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,360
Q it's the Joy B gp1 mini projector and

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,320
I guess the first thing I apologize I'm not unboxing it today it's already set

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,760
up so I'll just show you a quick overview of the accessories it comes

5
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:21,640
with first it comes with a remote take special note that the top buttons are

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:24,199
for the projector and the bottom buttons are for the card reader that's going to

7
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:28,320
come in handy when you're trying to control this thing oh oh I knocked it oh

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:34,480
well whatever okay it comes with a little case that houses the project

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,399
itself but not the not the AC adapter so

10
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,360
it's kind of not quite there yet you'll need another another holder if you want

11
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,640
to hold the whole thing so inside the box I actually haven't even looked at

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,039
what's in here it's probably a manual and probably okay so you've got a

13
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:54,600
users's manual on a dis then you have a quick oh this is kind of neat you have a

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:01:01,079
quick little chart that shows you what formats are supported what resolution is

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,480
supported so ntsc goes up to 720 by 480

16
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:06,439
and that seems to be the highest resolution supported by the gp1 okay

17
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,040
you've got your warranty information card your safety manual you know safety

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:17,200
is important when you're projecting things at a wall and then there's

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,960
something else in here yeah there we go okay so this is a quick start guide so

20
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:25,759
there is the quick start guide for The Joy B so the thing I have it set up with

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,280
right now is with the USB card reader so I'm going to go ahead and use my little

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,079
remote here to show you that I can show

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:36,320
you uh pictures okay these aren't

24
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,880
particularly great pictures I apologize for that basically it's a okay select

25
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:44,719
there now it'll play back my pictures I'm going to turn down the lights so you

26
00:01:42,759 --> 00:01:48,920
can get a better idea of what the joy be here is capable of okay I'm going to go

27
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:52,439
turn off the other light as well and then I'm going to skip ahead to the next

28
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,119
picture there we go so you can see that in the dark and I hope you can see that

29
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:01,799
yeah you can see that in the dark The Joy B is actually quite quite bright and

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,560
I can make shadow puppets okay so this is my first attempt at UV Lighting in a

31
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:11,840
computer you can see that I wasn't quite there yet and the other one is my

32
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:17,040
parents cat Batman wearing a Christmas hat so uh he's quite enjoying that as

33
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:20,680
you can see now that's not all the joy be can do I mean first of all oh yeah I

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,200
haven't even showed you the here come look at the projector okay so you have

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,280
uh buttons to control the projector up on the top these are all touch sensitive

36
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:34,280
buttons and I I touched one I hope I didn't do anything okay and then you have a focus wheel right here which was

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,440
quite easy to dial in in terms of inputs you've got the power input on this side

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,680
and I you can you see that enough okay good and then you have a USB port on the

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,400
back which is where I'm viewing these uh these photos off of and you can also run

40
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,159
video then at the back you have a little proprietary Port here which is good for

41
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,519
composite as well as VGA in which I have

42
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:58,040
plugged in right now and then there's pretty much nothing on the other side can you come around and have a quick

43
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,599
look at the front of the unit here I realize it might be a little bit bright

44
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,200
but there you go go you've got like a white finish and the fan is a little bit

45
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,480
loud the exhaust comes out the front it's a touch loud but it's not going to

46
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:12,040
be too obnoxious if you're giving a presentation or whatever else it is

47
00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:16,440
you're doing now in terms of the other mode here I've got it hooked up to my

48
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:20,440
laptop so if you were into okay so I'm going to pick a source oh yeah and

49
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:25,400
there's a coming support for an iPod dock which is kind of cool so you can

50
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:30,080
either use uh went away so you can either use VGA composite the USB reader

51
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,799
or an iPod doc so I'm going to select this one

52
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:39,319
enter all signal searching and there we go we got

53
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:42,239
Warcraft 3 so on the PC it says the max

54
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:46,280
supported resolution is 800x 600 anyway I think that pretty much concludes it

55
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,360
thank you for checking out my unboxing or well I didn't really unbox it thank

56
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:55,840
you for checking out my product Showcase of the BenQ Joy

57
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:59,280
gp1 so one thing that we didn't really talk actually two things we didn't

58
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:03,480
really talk about three things first of all the V gp1 has built-in speakers

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,640
they're only 2 watt but they are there in case you need them for the composite

60
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,680
input another thing is how big of an image can you get out of it well you can

61
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:18,079
see we have a very bright very satisfying image right now it's uh about

62
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:22,280
I guess it's about three three something feet tall okay and then however many

63
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:26,880
feet wide and we're still we still got our Warcraft 3 running the colors are

64
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:30,720
quite Vivid and uh I am actually looking forward to playing around with this with

65
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:35,080
some gaming test particularly driving games thank you for checking out my

66
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,080
