Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector Review: the ultimate portable device for presentation and media playback

July 22, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Convert MKV 

Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector,the first-ever micro projector product developed by Samsung, has brought beautiful breakthroughs on the performance of pico projectors in the market, not only for its low cost, but also for its larger internal memory and expandable storage capacity, and high level of brightness. More than that, the pico projector weights only six ounces, and measures merely 2.75" W x 1.5" H x 2.75" D inches, and is at a very affordable price of $299.99, so it’s really a good choice for those potential buyers who expect the best cost performance.

The pocket-worthy Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector is known for its low price and high quality, which is one of the key features of Samsung products. For instance, AAXA P2 and AAXA L1, two of its competing products, retail at a price of $319.00 and $599.00 respectively, both are expensive than Samsung SP-H03. Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector not only comes with cheaper price than AAXA P2 and AAXA L1, but also features bigger internal storage capacity and higher brightness levels. Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector is selling with 1GB internal memory, which is expansion available via microSD card up to 16 GB, and it also supports inputting from a USB storage device, like iPhone 4 and some other smart phones. While the AAXA P2 has 1GB internal flash memory which is only expandable up to another 4GB via a microSD reader, and the AAXA L1 ships with 160MB internal memory which is expandable up to 2GB via a USB thumb drive.

With up to 30 ANSI lumens, Samsung SP-H03 projector delivers clear and crisp images up to 50-inch size using WVGA (854×480) resolution. Amazingly, it can also accommodate an 80 inches screen, and meanwhile produce an impressively sharp and bright picture. In addition, it even features an LED source with 30,000-hour lifetime for projection. Samsung SP-H03 liberates corporate staff members from heavy and large projectors, because it is able to export the same dynamic high quality images that are suitable and perfect for board room presentations.

Samsung SP-H03 is an on-the-go gadget that hosts a Computer-free Document Viewer to project various common document types in their native formats, such as Microsoft Office files (PowerPoint, Excel, and Word) or Adobe PDF documents. What’s amazing is that it offers native multimedia playback functionalities for users to watch movies, images, and enjoy music anytime, anywhere without connecting any other additional devices. It is compatible with a wide variety of media formats, including:
Movie: AVI, MP4, ASF, MPG, RM, FLV, WMV
Image: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF
Music: MP3, MP2, WAV, WMA, FLAC, APE, RA

That is to say, apart from being an ultimate portable presentation tool, Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector is also an ideal tool to do personal entertainment when you travel or stay at home, especially for movie watching. If you have some video files which are already in formats of "AVI, MP4, ASF, MPG, RM, FLV, or WMV", you can directly add them to the microSD card of Samsung SP-H03 to do playback, or if your movie files are not in the above mentioned range, you only need a video converter to do format conversion before watching:

To transfer videos to Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector on a PC, including ripping Blu-ray discs and DVD movies, you can try Pavtube Blu-Ray Video Converter Ultimate;

To convert videos to Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector on a Mac computer, including copying Blu-ray movies and standard DVDs, you can use iMedia Converter for Mac.

In that way, you can use it as a Home Theater projector to experience your beloved movies on a larger screen in the cinema mode.

The only two shortages of Samsung SP-H03 I can see are listed as below:
1. The weak 1W speaker
But it can easily be remedied by plugging it into a speaker system.
2. 2 hours of battery life
The 30 lumens brightness rating will exhaust the battery power fast. It can only support continuous usage up to 2 hours. But a power socket is able to help you out from this problem, so it’s not a big thing at all.

Overall, the cheapest price, the biggest storage capacity, the excellent presentation quality, and the powerful media playback functionalities make Samsung SP-H03 Pico Projector the top choice for micro projectors.

How to convert down Panasonic AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG files?

July 12, 2010 by admin · Comments Off
Filed under: Convert MKV 

P2 camera-recorders like Panasonic AJ-HPX3700 record AV data as MXF (Material Exchanged File) files with metadata. It can record the metadata onto the clips scene by scene when it loaded from SD/ SDHC card containing the shooting information. This is very convenient for videographers and TV broadcasting makers to edit the MXF footage in professional editing software (e.g. Adobe Premiere CS5). The non-linear editing system supporting P2 can instantly start editing by mounting the P2 cards and can edit the clips in the P2 cards directly. However, the MXF files are not so well-suited when you feel like backing them up to PC or hard drive. As we all know, the P2 MXF format means high quality and huge file size. When recording in AVC-Intra 100 mode, a 64GB P2 card can be filled up in 64 minutes. It takes long time to copy the HD MXF files, and astonishing space to save them. This guide provides you solution for this issue: converting AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG files and cut the file size down.

Software you’ll need: Pavtube HD Video Converter trial (Please note that the trial version generates videos with a watermark in the middle of screen)

Step 1. Import P2 MXF to the powerful MXF Converter.?
Run the MXF Converter, click “Add” button and browse to the MXF files you’d like to convert. When the MXF footages are loaded to the program, you can view the videos from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you may take snapshot when it plays to your favorable frame. Simply click the “Snapshoot” button.

convert AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG

Step 2. Select output format- MPEG-2 *.mpg, *.ts, MPEG-4 *.mp4 etc.
The MXF Converter is capable of converting MXF files to various HD and SD video formats. For converting MXF video to MPEG, you just need to click on the “Format” bar and select desired MPEG format from the profile list. In the tab of “Common Video”, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoded SD formats are available. If you’d like to remain HD video quality, please find MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 encoded HD MPG, TS and MP4 format in “HD Video”.

convert AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG

Do not forget to specify a folder to save the converted MPEG files. Simply click the small folder icon next to “Output” field and specify an output folder to save converted files. And make sure there is enough space for saving the output files.

convert AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG

Step 3. Further customize the output format.
Simply click “Settings” button to and set the bit rate, frame rate, channels, sampling rate to desired values. It seems to be complicated, but it is not. What you are doing is down-scaling the MXF files, and the trick lies in video and audio bit rate. The video bit rate of P2 MXF can be up to 100mbps! That’s extremely high! Video bit rate of a commercial blu-ray movie clip is around 30mbps. And standard DVD? 5-10mbps. The first image of this guide reveals basic infomation of the MXF I use for conversion. The MXF clip is 148M, 21’ in length, and its video bit rate is 5, 760kbps. When I convert it to MPEG-2 HD Video (*.mpg), and set “high quality”(18,000kbps) as video bit rate, the file size is down to 47M. The video quality I get will be better than a commercial DVD but not good engouth for burning blu-ray disc. In one word, the lower bit rate you set the smaller file size you get.

convert AJ-HPX3700 HD MXF to MPEG

Step 4. Start converting down MXF to MPEG.
Click “Convert” to start converting MXF to MPEG formats (*.mpg, *.mp4, *.ts etc) when everything’s ready. The HD Video Converter supports batch conversion so you may load multiple MXF files and convert MXF files to MPEG at one time. You may also merge them to one file by checking the box “Merge into one file” before conversion starts. After conversion you may click “Open” button to find generated MPEG files and use them freely.

Luckily we have TiVo and other DVR, which help to record all the matches so that we could make them up later on TV, without missing any of the matches. However, fanatic football fans may complain, “Why can’t I bring the World Cup matches with me and watch the football game on the way to my work?” Well, of course you can. As far as I know, TiVo Desktop, free supplementary software by TiVo, can help TiVo users to transfer their recordings to computer or laptop.

In order to enjoy TiVo recordings on iPad, you get to transfer TiVo to your PC and then convert TiVo files to iPad compatible formats.
