Vivitek Qumi

Vivitek Qumi is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Vivitek Qumi rather than just read about it. In short: The Qumi (DPC74A1) is a pocket projector manufactured by Delta Electronics for Vivitek. It was released in May 2011.

Key takeaways

Vivitek Qumi belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Vivitek Qumi to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Vivitek Qumi from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Qumi (DPC74A1) is a pocket projector manufactured by Delta Electronics for Vivitek. It was released in May 2011.

Description The Qumi is a portable, 3D, LED-powered projector based on Texas Instruments' 3D-Ready DLP Pico HD chipset and Luminus's Phlatlight PT-39 LED light. Its native resolution is 1280×800, and it is able to project up to 1920×1080. The projector has a built-in microSD card slot and a remote control for the built-in media player. It weighs 617 grams, and consumes 53/17 watts in normal/eco mode. It has a phlatlight-based LED light source rated for an estimated 30,000 hours of operation. Its brightness is 300 lumens, and at 60" diagonal image measurement was 198 lumens. Qumi has only HDMI 1.3, it is not HDCP compliant for 3D playback, 3D works only with PC via HDMI and analog VGA port, with DLP Link and IR glasses, in 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×720 (VGA only), at any 120Hz capable graphics card.

Supported resolutions The Qumi can accept an input resolution up to:

1920×1080 at 60Hz, when using HDMI 1600×1200 at 60Hz when using VGA

Critiques Users reported some issues with the Qumi. The unit requires between 5 and 15 minutes to focus at warm-up, this is because the new generation LED based portables have plastic lenses. One can use a generic AV cable by reversing the RED and YELLOW inputs. RED is video on the Qumi, not the industry standard YELLOW. The built-in speaker is quiet, and the 3D has been described as usable only in the dark. Some customers have reported chromatic aberration issues. In 3D mode 1280×720 at 120Hz, the picture is blurred.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vivitek Qumi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vivitek Qumi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vivitek Qumi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vivitek Qumi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vivitek Qumi

In research: Vivitek Qumi appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vivitek Qumi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vivitek Qumi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Products introduced in 2011, Projectors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vivitek Qumi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
