Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Cinema for your pocket

PocketCinema V10 is probably one of the smallest projectors in the world. With a weight of only 155 grams and the mobile phone-like dimensions of 125mm x 55mm x 23mm, PocketCinema V10 is ideal for mobile applications such as business travel, for meetings and presentations in small groups or in the private use. For a quick slideshow with friends, watching videos or to connect a game console. No need to watch to board TV in plane anymore, you can now watch your own movies very comfortable projecting onto the front seat. The built in speakers provide stereo sound, but you can also use earphones.

Easy-to-use and intuitive handling

AIPTEK PocketCinema V10The mini projector can be controlled easily by seven control buttons (on / off, menu, right / left, up / down, OK button) on the device. The easy-to-understand menu is designed for simple operation and split into following main operation points:

  • "Video": This feature allows you to choose a video file to project.
  • "Image": You can choose one or more JPEG files for projection or start a slideshow.
  • "Music ": This feature allows you to select MP3 files to play on the projector.
  • "Memory": This feature allows you to check memory type and memory capacity.
In addition, many other settings and extra features are selectable, for example the insertion of MP3 music in your slideshow, play videos, music or photos repeatedly, or zooming. To configure your V10 you can go into "Settings", with the following settings: language, brightness, contrast, saturation, auto-shutoff and audible signal.

Pocket-size projector for large images

The resolution of PocketCinema V10 is 640 x 480 pixels (VGA) in 4:3 aspect ratio. The projection size from 6 inch to 50 inch (13cm to 130cm) depends on the lighting conditions of the environment and can be adjusted by the projection distance (21cm to 180cm). With its used LED, PocketCinema V10 reaches a brightness value of 10 lumens. Through the use of this modern technology, the LED lamp life expectancy is about 10.000 hours.

AIPTEK PocketCinema V10

    As a lecturer I was looking for a pico projector for presentations. The Aiptek v10 'pocket cinema' is a fun, novelty product with serious potential as a portable (literally in the pocket) projector with image viewing software for small group teaching, replacing a laptop and data projector. It definitely needs low light (or darkness for large images) which limits the places to use it.

    To make best use of the device takes a little thought and planning. PowerPoint presentations, suitably edited and reduced to 640x480, saved as JPEGs and numbered as suggested in the manual work really well for talks to small groups, especially using the supplied mini-tripod and remote. Short teaching videos converted to MJPEG-AVI using the supplied software (this produces large files) play with an excellent picture but poor 'tinny' sound due to the small speakers and limited volume control. I have also joined it to my Nokia N95 (with the respective AV cables) and it works well.

    Better speakers (like those in the N95) would have really made this a 5-star product. External speakers should improve performance but that defeats the object of a 'pocket' device; I will try various small external speakers designed for MP3 players.

    Recognised as a USB storage device by the PC, it can easily be loaded with files and the additional memory (cheap SD card) allows presentation material to be stored until required. A fun device for a 'presentation in the pocket'

    Superb for the money 21 May 2009
    Received this product yesterday, and I must say I am pleased with its performance so far.

    I always knew it would never match the quality of a full sized projector which you should keep in mind, but considering the price and the fact that it ways roughly the same as a Ipod and quite happily sits in my pocket I cant fault it.

    Yes you do need to have a pretty much completely dark room but in such conditions the little projector throws a perfectly watchable image up to around 50 inchs and its little speakers do a superb job at producing a sound you can hear comfortably without having to strain.

    I have connected this unit to my Iphone and plays without issue, a DVD player once again plays with no issue and also used the bundled conversion software for a short video clip from Youtube and then played it directly on the V10 using a SD card and again plays with no problem.

    Bad points would have to be the lack of a rewind or fast forward feature which can be a pain for movies played directly through the unit, but it does remember where you stopped a movie half way through.

    The unit also does get very hot but in saying that you shouldnt really be holding it if you are planning to watch a whole movie on it, use the little tripod it comes with or set it on a desk or shelf.

    All in all as long as you dont expect HD quality and 5.1 surround sound you will be very pleased with this product, if you want HD and Home Cinema sound then spend the money on it!

    Also super easy to upgrade the firmware on it, even my grandmother could manage it.

    There seems to be a lot of people having problems with the Aiptek V10 Pocket Projector when trying to convert files to play.
    Myself i had problems with the bundled conversion software, the video converted ok but the sound was always out of sync.
    To rectify this i used 4Videosoft Google Video Converter using these settings and have had no problems since.
    Type of file to produce from the menu iPhone MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4), 480 by 320, 30fps, 900kbs, encoder ACC, 44100 sample rate, 2 channel stereo, Audio bit rate 96kbs. and all works fine, it's clear up to 50inch.
    I can't fault the V10 but i would have liked the V10 pro just for it's recording direct option.
    It may be a tad expensive but i think it is worth the money, even though i had to try a few file software conversion's before i got it right.
    Great product, but not so good software.
    Also if you are thinking of getting one, (look for one that come's with a free sound station, also act's as a recharging dock) i missed out and only found one when i had already received mine. I have searched for a docking sound station to buy, but the price put me off, it retail's for around £70.00 to £73.00.Aiptek Pocket Projector V10
