About Z1 Pro Igasanduku ry'Ikoranabuhanga ryo Kureba Amashusho

Z1 Pro ni igasanduku ry'ikoranabuhanga ryo kwidagadura n'itumanaho binyuze ku mashusho mu rugo. Z1 Pro igizwe n'igice cy'ibanze hamwe n'agatsiko k'utumwa duto (microphone array) tudafite waya. Kamera ifite ubugari bwo kureba (field of view) bwa dogere 100 ifata amashusho asobanutse neza ku rugero rwa 1080P na frame 60 ku isegonda. Chip y'ubwenge bw'ubukorano (artificial intelligence) yubatswe imwe n'imwe ishyigikira imikino ishingiye ku mitwarire y'umubiri, kuyobora imyitozo ngororamubiri, na telefoni z'amashusho. Algorithm igabanya urusaku igumana ijwi risobanutse ku ntera y'metero eshanu. Kugenzura ukoresheje ibimenyetso by'intoki n'ijwi bituma igikoresho coroshye gukoreshwa n'abana n'abasaza. Igikoresho gifite igishushanyo kimwe rukumbi (one-piece frame) gifite ubwiza budasesa (matte finish), kandi imiterere idafite fani ituma imikorere ihora ituje.

Unique Properties: As a modern video and entertainment terminal set, Z1 Pro Smart Box is able to clearly capture images without trails at 1080P 60FPS with its 100-degree wide-angle 4-mega-pixel HD camera. The powerful built-in AI chip and the 5T AI neuron network algorithm not only allows for timely and accurate feedback, but also features functions that are unattainable for set-top boxes, including somatosensory games, AI fitness and video conference.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 190mm x Depth 22mm x Height 58mm
Tags: Smart Box, AI neuron network algorithm, Entertainment Terminal Set, Scientific Touch, Zero-fan Heat Dissipation Structure
Production Technology: The AI Stream Box of Z1 Pro is molded into a one-piece frame with matte frosted texture and CD pattern embellishments on both sides. The bottom holder module of the AI Stream Box is made of alloy, and the special zero-fan heat dissipation structure ensures a lower noise while not hindering the long-time operation of the host.
Design Challenge: Z1 Pro adopts a special adaptive echo cancellation algorithm, which is different from that used in most video conferencing and call terminal devices on the market. In addition to reproducing sounds by connecting to the TV via HDMI, it independently fits into the delay of most mainstream TVs for echo cancellation to eliminate the shortcomings of narrow radio range and a relatively small maximum loudspeaker volume, greatly improving the calling experience and interaction capabilities for users.
Research: As society develops, ways of entertainment with electronic devices have become increasingly rich and complex. In fact, because young people are busy at work at the city, the elderly and children who are left at home or in their hometowns cannot fully utilize these devices with complex operations, instead they can only put them aside. Z1 pro emerged amid the need to reduce the waste of resources and to allow such people to experience a modern entertainment life.
Inspiration: Inspired by periscopes for the shape, AI Stream Box conveys a design concept of simplicity. To fitting into the home environment naturally, the product applies rounded corners on the front to occupy smaller area while creating a compact structure. Wireless Microphone Array features a compact and simple appearance. Its bottom is designed to be concave, and the holes of the wireless microphone are hidden inside the top cover, which lends a scientific touch of suspension visually.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2020 in Hangzhou, China and ended in January 2021, and it was officially launched in February 2021 on e-commerce platforms such as JD.com, Taobao and Suning.
Operation Flow: Its built-in high-fidelity Wireless Microphone Array has an original noise reduction algorithm, which can easily cope with various ambient noises. Moreover, thanks to the acoustic algorithm for far-field interaction, the high-fidelity sound capture can be achieved even at distance of 5 meters accurately, and sounds can be easily restored in long-distance video calls. Equipped with gesture and voice control, Z1 pro lowers the threshold for the elderly and children to master its usage.
