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

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:10.360
Q it's the Joy B gp1 mini projector and

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

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:17.760
up so I'll just show you a quick overview of the accessories it comes

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:21.640
with first it comes with a remote take special note that the top buttons are

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:24.199
for the projector and the bottom buttons are for the card reader that's going to

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

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:34.480
well whatever okay it comes with a little case that houses the project

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.399
itself but not the not the AC adapter so

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

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.640
to hold the whole thing so inside the box I actually haven't even looked at

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

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

00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:01.079
quick little chart that shows you what formats are supported what resolution is

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.480
supported so ntsc goes up to 720 by 480

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.439
and that seems to be the highest resolution supported by the gp1 okay

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.040
you've got your warranty information card your safety manual you know safety

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:17.200
is important when you're projecting things at a wall and then there's

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

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

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

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.079
remote here to show you that I can show

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:36.320
you uh pictures okay these aren't

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.880
particularly great pictures I apologize for that basically it's a okay select

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:17.040
parents cat Batman wearing a Christmas hat so uh he's quite enjoying that as

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

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.200
haven't even showed you the here come look at the projector okay so you have

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.280
uh buttons to control the projector up on the top these are all touch sensitive

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

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

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

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

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:52.159
video then at the back you have a little proprietary Port here which is good for

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.519
composite as well as VGA in which I have

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

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

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

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

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.040
be too obnoxious if you're giving a presentation or whatever else it is

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

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

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

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:30.080
either use uh went away so you can either use VGA composite the USB reader

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:33.799
or an iPod doc so I'm going to select this one

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:39.319
enter all signal searching and there we go we got

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:42.239
Warcraft 3 so on the PC it says the max

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:46.280
supported resolution is 800x 600 anyway I think that pretty much concludes it

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.360
thank you for checking out my unboxing or well I didn't really unbox it thank

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:55.840
you for checking out my product Showcase of the BenQ Joy

00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:59.280
gp1 so one thing that we didn't really talk actually two things we didn't

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:03.480
really talk about three things first of all the V gp1 has built-in speakers

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

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

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:18.079
see we have a very bright very satisfying image right now it's uh about

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:22.280
I guess it's about three three something feet tall okay and then however many

00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:26.880
feet wide and we're still we still got our Warcraft 3 running the colors are

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:30.720
quite Vivid and uh I am actually looking forward to playing around with this with

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:35.080
some gaming test particularly driving games thank you for checking out my

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:35.080
