Place Nebula Capsule Pro next to the screen or white wall where the image can be projected ......



Press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds.



Then the main unit started up and the setting screen of Nebula Capsule Pro was displayed. However, I can not read what is written on the projected screen with blurred blur.



Therefore, adjust the focus adjustment knob on the left side of the projection lens so that it appears clearly.



It became clear and easy to read. The resolution of Nebula Capsule Pro is 854 x 450, and the luminance is 150 ANSI lumens.



On the first displayed language setting screen, select "Japanese" by using the remote control.

◆ Actually try playing video <br> I actually try to play YouTube movie with Nebula Capsule Pro. Select "YouTube" on the home screen.



The installation screen of the YouTube application will be displayed, so select "Install".



A confirmation screen of "Do you want Aptoide TV to access photos, media, and files in the device?" Is displayed, so select "Permit".



Select "Install".



Choosing "Open" ...



The YouTube application launches.



When you want to input characters, such as searching for a movie ......



By tapping the "Keyboard" icon of the Capsule Control application, it is possible to enter on the smartphone.



When you select the movie you want to play ......



A movie has been played on the projection surface. When Nebula Capsule Pro plays a movie while connecting via Wi-Fi, the continuous playable time is about 3 hours.



In addition to this, it is also possible to project images by connecting a terminal such as Nebula Capsule Pro and PC with an HDMI cable. Like this image, when using HDMI or OTG cable instead of network connection, the continuous playable time is about 4 hours.



In addition to the "BUSINESS ON DEMAND" "YouTube" "Netflix" application displayed on the home screen, it is also possible to install applications such as "Amazon Prime Video". It can be used as a mobile projector for watching movies on a trip.

◆ Comparison with Nebula Capsule <br> Next, compare it with "Nebula Capsule", a subordinate model cheaper than 3000 yen. Nebula Capsule Pro on the left, Nebula Capsule on the right, the logo etc are all the same and there was no difference in appearance. In fact there are only three differences: brightness, memory size, storage size. The Nebula Capsule has 100 ANSI lumen brightness, 1 GB of memory and 8 GB of storage, while Nebula Capsule Pro has 150 ANSI lumens, 2 GB of memory and 16 GB of storage.



So by actually playing the same movie on both sides and trying to compare the images. Nebula Capsule Pro on the left, Nebula Capsule on the right, you played the same YouTube movie. Even when comparing both images, it was impossible to confirm the brightness difference clearly. Although other editorial staff also looked at me, "I feel that the left is more bright, but it may be a placebo effect " and I do not know the distinct difference. Also, on the response side of the operation, the Pro on the left seems to work a little faster, but there is a possibility that only the delay is delayed by the delay of the network, "Obviously Nebura Capsule Pro I felt it was fast ".



Nebula Capsule Pro is 42,800 yen including tax, but only for August 6, 2010 (Monday), it is limited to 50 units and includes tax of 40,800 yen. In addition, a membership campaign for "TV TOKYO Business On Demand" is also being held for purchasers only. If you publish your campaign code by September 30, 2018, you can use the same application for 2 months only and you can watch programs such as ' World Business Satellite ' and ' Gaia's Dawn ' for free.
