Hi. >> Hi. Welcome to our XJimmy Theater. Please come in. >> So, you have a really cool booth here at EA 2026. >> So, what do we see here? >> So, here we are looking at our logo. Um, and you might wonder where is this projection coming from? It is actually not from the projector that you see up there. Um, it is >> that's just doing stuff on the floor here. >> Yes, exactly. >> Okay. It is actually from the hidden one that is in the floor. So, we have our newest ultrashort throw projector, Aura 3 Max, here and >> 4K. >> 4K, of course. Yes. And as you can see, um it has a pretty amazing throw ratio. Um this is a little bit bigger than 100 in, but 100 in would have um just 13 cm to the wall. Uh which is pretty impressive. Um >> is there a projection mapping going on? because it's a 3D surface. >> It is there is projection mapping. Uh we have a projection um artist who's doing the projection mapping and um he set this up for us uh for this booth. >> So actually you can find more uses for your projectors, right? >> Definitely you can unfold your full creativity with this and um I think this is something that is so important to us that is more than a projector. And uh I see a room over here and maybe it's one of the best the coolest rooms I've seen from a projector company. Oh, definitely. >> Because >> wo what's going on at this table here? >> Can you explain what we see? >> Oh, sorry. >> Here you can see more projection mapping. As you can see, um this is not magic. It is actually the Mo 4. So um as you can see it is just projecting on these surfaces and here on the ceiling you can see where it is coming from. It is our very own mogul 4 and um together with our projection artist we created this beautiful tablescape. >> So why don't all restaurants don't have this yet? >> Well very good question. They should >> they could just put it on their ceiling right? >> Yes. Yeah. It's very uh straightforward and this is one of our um entry level projectors. So, it's a portable projector uh full HD and uh Google TV included of course. So, very easy to use >> and full HD is easy is enough for this. >> Yes, definitely. >> And then uh it's also mapping, right? Because it's not showing stuff in between the >> Yes, it's a projection mapping. So, very exact, very good to uh >> you could even follow your your plate around potentially. >> You could. Yeah. Yeah. >> If you had a sensor up there, you don't. >> No, no. Right now, we're having this as a um static um display, but you could definitely move it around even more um in the future. >> What I'd like to see is the whole menu here. >> You click what you want. As soon as you click it, >> it starts doing a beautiful art >> and it's like, wait a moment, and then it shows the cook >> in the kitchen making the food for you in real time. Okay, that's just an idea. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> The full the full service. >> What do you see over there? And um this is just decoration. It is not >> but you can you can still see that uh what is possible with just some light. Um yeah so very beautiful display and uh then here you see the main protagonist. So we have R3 again that we saw already in the um entryway and um maybe we can see from the side here um we have the setup with our own uh projector screen which is um um rolling up um and it's called Ascent. Um it's 120 in screen and it works perfectly with our Aura 3. >> Nice. How much is the Aura 3 and the screen? So, we don't have the package price yet, but the R3 um when you unlock the uh subscriber benefits, it will be uh $2,399 on Kickstarter or dollars on Kickstarter. Um Kickstarter will launch soon and um the whole package will also be available, but the price will be released together with the Kickstarter. >> How good is the quality of the projection? >> Mhm. >> It looks very bright and sharp. Yes. So, this is of course a 4K projection. Um, as you can see, the colors, the brightness is unmatched. Um, we've never had such a strong ultra thor. And um, we have 8,000 to1 uh, native contrast here. We have um, amazing brightness. So, the picture really becomes cinema. >> Nice. It's very uh, impressive. But I guess the screen is also doing a lot of work here to get such a good reflection >> of course. So as you could uh imagine usually because of the very uh sharp um angle here a lot of the light would get lost towards the ceiling but um because of this special screen it will be reflected directly to you and also it avoids a bit of the ambient light so you have um even better quality of viewing. Yes. But you could also do it just on a white wall. This wall is a little bit dark. I would not recommend it, but on a white wall, it should definitely also have a nice picture. >> Nice. All right. And here are some of the specs you're talking about. Up to 200 in 5,700 lumens, 8,000 contracts, 4K 120. >> Yes, that is very important. So, it is very much useful for gaming. Um, has ultra low latency. The 120 Hz makes the game super smooth and nice. And we can actually look at the gaming uh in another room. So, let's see. >> Let's have a look. >> So, which room we going to? This one. >> Nice. There we have >> the console going on right there. >> Oh, I just did the controller. Thank you. [music] >> So, this is kind of like uh one way of having an ultimate um console gaming setup. It's also better on your eyes. >> You can play for 8 hours straight without getting tired. >> Exactly. Yes. No. No. It actually because for the eyes it's so much better than your normal one. And um yeah, as you can see, it's like being in the stadium. And you can just attach your PlayStation to the um projector and it's super easy to pair, no question. And um you have this amazing screen to play with and make your gaming nights even more uh amazing. >> And what more you can show here? >> Yes, so we have another product here, which is the um Titan Ultra Max. And here you can see it looks it might look a little blurry and you're wondering why but it's because we have two um projectors here and um they're uh especially made to um do 3D in a way that you would usually just know from um from the cinema. So it's like going to the movies just at home and very >> What's the advantage of doing with two projectors? >> It's different way of 3D. So um the projector on its own can already do 3D but you will need the active shutter glasses. Um and with this form of 3D you can just use these uh non um electric glasses. Yeah. So um >> they have to be calibrated to exactly >> exactly the right place filter in the front and then um you have a real 3D setup like you would have in the movies. >> And it's good for you because people have to buy too. Yes, [laughter] it's good for us and it's something that um yeah, our our founders came up with that we could just try and see what else is possible than just what we're usually selling. And we can also see the same projector in the next room. >> And if you see here, this is the one uh Titan Noir. So, it's actually famous. >> Yes. Yeah. So, we are very famous because we're the most funded projector on Kickstarter. Very proud of that one. for the whole history of Kickstarter or just projectors. >> It is for projectors, but uh in the history of projectors for Kickstarter, we are number one at this moment. And we have an amazing native contrast as you can see here. We have the dual intelligent iris, so we have the perfect um contrast at any point. We have the 1 millisecond latency and VR, so it's perfect. >> How much was it for the backers? >> Um backers had a very good price. Yes. >> Yeah. Is there also the same one? Yes, this is the same one just without the 3D setup. >> And even though the room is very bright, no problem. >> Yes, exactly. It is very very bright. It [music] works uh in daylight conditions. Um it works with ambient light of any kind. Um so it is a perfect thing to have in a living room that is also a cinema setup. So it is uh amazing to to watch movies at home. >> And [music] um the argument is also that uh filmmakers design movies to be on projectors. Yes, >> they didn't design them for LCD mini LEDs or for OLEDs. >> Yeah, if you real um it doesn't feel like a TV in any way. It is [music] much better actually. >> Nice. You walk a little bit more over there. >> Uh let's go around busy booth. >> Uh let me just jump in. as a darkness. Uh, >> so you talk about the X vision image engine with IMAX. >> Oh yes. >> And all the other stuff. >> We have IMAX, we have everything. So if you ever wondered what is inside [clears throat] one of our projectors, you can see there is a lot. So from the chip here to our lens system which is very extensive, the autofocus system and then when you get to the point where the beams become one beautiful picture, you can see how much technology sits in there to get all of our um amazing um images. You have IMX enhance, you have Dolby View vision, you have uh HDR10 [clears throat] plus all of it. So you can always get the perfect image for your wants and needs. >> And it's been more than 10 years going on with all this innovation. And some of the latest ones here is dual iris. >> Yes. >> Hardware light control. >> Exactly. >> So is that in the short row? >> Yeah. So the dual iris is our big pride because it um allows us to have amazing contrast in all pictures. So the first iris is right very very close to the light source. So, you can set this up depending on your setup at home. If you, for example, have a very dark home cinema, it makes sense to reduce the brightness a little bit and have a higher contrast from the get- go. Um, if you're in a very bright space, you might want to have full brightness, of course. And then for the second one, there's the dynamic one. So, for each scene, it will actually change so you always have the perfect uh setting for your dynamic uh contrast. >> Nice. And the RGB triple laser leadership is the best way to get maximum brightness from DLP. Right? You need lasers. >> And it's not just brightness. It is the mix of brightness, contrast, and color. So to have everything together and have a very very beautiful picture in the end, you need this kind of triple laser that we um uh developed. Yes. >> And then there dual light that was also before laser a little bit I guess to do more brightness somehow. >> Yes. Uh for Aura 2. So there we mixed um lasers with LED. Um it was also very uh for especially colors had a very beautiful pick. But the good thing is now we have different chips advanced hardware. So now the um triple laser is the best way to go for us. >> And if you just walk at the end here um just uh when people come in this way um they see also some smaller ones and different things. So here you can see our portable setup. So we don't just have the huge 4K monsters. We also have the entry- level products. Uh so this is the Vibe 1 um retails for about 250. Uh we have Mo 4 um which can be uh turned into every uh corner. And here we have our Alpha Flip. And um they're um this one is 4K even. So, in this small format, you get a 4K projector, which is >> 4K laser DLP. >> Yes, this is 4K. So, and you can actually put it down like this. Just put it in your bookcase and you're done. So, >> Wow. And uh the price is not too much. >> 4K. >> No, [clears throat] no. The price for this one is under under a,000. So, it's 999. >> Yeah. >> So, that's uh that would be great if your company can help bring amazing 4K qualities more affordable to more people. >> Exactly. S >> imagine every pixel, every sound enabled [music] through HDMI technology. From the highest resolutions, [music] the fastest refresh rates to immersive multi-channel [singing] audio. HDMI technology powers a worldwide ecosystem [music] of devices for movies, for gaming, for creators. [music] Experience clarity, performance, connection. [music] HDMI technology.
