Scope of supply:
- Innocube
- HDMI cable,
- MHL cable (General Smartphonekabe)
- 5to11 Pin Converter for Samsung mobile phone
- Protective Rubber
- Instructions
- Power Supply
Note that you can use as the iPhone or the iPad the Innocube not easy, but still you need an extra adapter, which again will cost 40-50. A bit much, but it is worthwhile in any case.
Processing:
The Innocube is small, handy practical. 4.5cm square, at just 130 grams. The device is processed very clean, there are no sharp corners and the whole also makes a very robust impression. In front of the projection window is a protective film, which can VLT. should decrease, so you have the best picture quality. The rubber sleeve I would definitely let off, thereby better protection of the projector for a bit and is non-slip to another. All very well made in all
Operation:
Controls There are quite a few. Actually, only the Power button on the left and the focus wheel on the right side of the cube. Otherwise, you can find links to the MHL / HDMI input, the right of the connection for the power supply. Where I can sit the speaker did not say exactly, probably right and left, in other words you stereo sound has. The operation is very simple, turn, connect, spicy finish. Only the sound can not really be regulated disturbs something or I just did not yet figured out how to do that.
Image Size:
At 1m distance you have a 30 inch screen, with 2m becoming 60 inches and 90 inches at 3m finally. More goes well, I've tried on the opposite white wall house - is, of course, but the picture quality is not so good, and it naturally has a distinct coolness factor.
Image Quality:
From the picture quality you should of course do not expect miracles. The aspect ratio is 4: 3, the resolution is only VGA quality, ie 640x480 pixels and is therefore far from HDMI quality and even with the use of presentations, one should note that, and previously at least once to start a trial run to make sure the everything fits, as you'd expect. For presentations on the go, or to movies or Youtube videos to watch on the go somewhere where there is no television, or outside to project something on a house wall, the image quality is absolutely okay. As a replacement for the Heimokinobeamer but you can not take the Innocube, but his brilliance is far too low.
I use the cube some times in the evening in bed Youtube videos to to project onto the ceiling and comfortable look.
I definitely recommend strongly darken the room, in the bright one does not really have much.
If you connect the device to your laptop, this will change to 640x480 resolution, so that the resolution of the Innocubes corresponds exactly one and the picture on the Cube looks also here that one sees on the laptop.
Distortion:
The Cube has no built-in keystone correction, where such concepts in the order and can not really work. Say if the picture is not shown completely flat, it is not completely straight. Add to this the problem that you often want to portray the image slightly increased. Then you have to somehow help out around the projector to set up an angle in which one puts anything underneath. Can cater perfectly to him so rarely since had a small screw that you can come forth have been desirable
Sound:
The sound is okay, just stereo. If I use the Innocube the iPad he takes control of the sound, that is if I want to regulate iPad / iPhone sound will not do. On Innocube itself there is no device to set the tone to regulate, in other words you have to take the volume is preset. This should be considered especially for presentations. Even so secretly watching a movie at night is not possible if someone would be near other disturbed by the tone
Akkulauzeit:
The battery lasts two hours. If something is supposed to last longer, no problem if an electrical outlet is nearby, you can always plug in the power cord and then the projector is running endlessly.
Fan noise:
The unit has a fan and if you are close to the device and you can hear it in very, very quiet surroundings. In normal operation, when you hear eg films, or one still has everyday sounds around it, you will not even notice him. I have even noticed only after several days that the unit has a fan, first I thought he was absolutely silent.
Lifetime:
The lifetime of the LED should be 10,000 hours. I'll probably never be able to check this because the projector will probably rarely be as long in use, anyone will bother counting the hours. For most users this life but should suffice until the projector has to be mothballed because the ports are no longer standard (yes in 10 - 20 years it will certainly need something newer, better than HDMI pass), or because you just hire a has brought a more powerful pocket beamer (which it will certainly be in the next 10-20 years). The only problem with the technology is put is a loss of luminosity, which should begin well before the half of life - in other words this is an effect of which I have gelese that it exists or will be, but again, I think that most Anweder this Cubes will not have him in continuous use and therefore this issue should only affect a very few people - but you should have at least it pointed.

Conclusion
The Innocube has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages I have already enumerated: First, the cube assumes the sound control and the volume can not be adjusted, this is for me a clear shortcoming. A device that lets you put the cube diagonally would aknn helpful as the optimum projection surface is not to be found in a horizontal position. The room should already be very dark in order to reach a good quality image.
These shortcomings are a lot of pluses give over:
The device is very small and very light and therefore very handy. It will fit into any space and Tassche provides for its size a good picture quality and size, the operation is simple and straightforward, but not out-of-the-box with iOS devices compatible, here a clearer indication would be appropriate for the costs are relatively high. The battery lasts two hours is sufficient in length and may at any time be supported by the network operation, the fan works quietly.
For those who need a mobile projector that is easy and simple to install, operate, which is the Innocube on the safe side. Whether on a PC, smartphone or tablet, just plug it and you've got the picture on the wall. And this is not even an app necessary, as with other such solutions, it just looks right image for each device.
Therefore, there is ingsesamt four star, full five there vlt. for the successor, if there are possible solutions to the aforementioned weaknesses.
But all in all a great device.
