NexiGo Nova Mini Smart Laser Projector

The Scene Adapt Engine (SAE) is a next-generation image processing system designed to enhance visual quality through intelligent, real-time frame analysis. Trained on over 50,000 hours of raw movie data, SAE leverages machine learning to understand and predict how scenes evolve, frame by frame.

By combining precise frame-by-frame analysis with predictive algorithms, SAE delivers fast, adaptive image adjustments with minimal visual artifacts. It responds instantly to scene changes, ensuring smooth transitions and consistently optimized picture quality.

SAE is especially effective in dark scenes, applying advanced gamma correction to preserve shadow detail and depth without sacrificing contrast. Its predictive frame generation significantly reduces motion blur and artifacts, resulting in a clearer, more stable viewing experience.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Frame Analysis: Instantly adapts to scene changes for smoother transitions and optimized picture quality.
• Enhanced Dark Scene Performance: Uses intelligent gamma correction to preserve detail and improve contrast in low-light scenes.
• Predictive Motion Processing: Leverages machine learning to anticipate the next frame, reducing blur and enhancing motion clarity.

Yes, the Nova Mini’s compact size makes it exceptionally portable. With a brightness of 1200 lumens, it delivers clearer and more vivid images than many other projectors, even outdoors. Additionally, it supports the PD 3.0 protocol, enabling it to be powered by a power bank^*. This means you can enjoy the big-screen experience anytime, anywhere.

*When using a power bank to charge the projector, you must use a USB-C cable that supports Power Delivery (PD).
The power bank must output at least 20V/5A (100W) for optimal performance.

Yes, it includes Autofocus, Auto Keystone Correction, Auto Screen Detection, Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance, Adaptive Brightness, and Intelligent Eye Protection. You can also enable advanced auto settings for autofocus and keystone correction upon startup or after moving the projector.

Yes, the Nova Mini is compatible with most projector stands on the market. You can easily find a suitable stand with the following specifications:

• For threaded stands, the Nova Mini features a standard 1/4" - 20UNC x 1/4" tripod thread hole on the bottom, making it compatible with most camera-style mounts. NexiGo also offers a Desktop Stand designed specifically for the Nova Mini—it's rotatable and compact, allowing flexible projection onto walls or ceilings with ease.
• For tray-style stands, the Nova Mini's portable dimensions are 7.8” x 7.8” with a weight of 3 lbs.

You can use a regular PVC screen, or for a better experience you can use a Fresnel ALR screen designed for long throw projectors.

Yes, the Nova Mini is designed with a standard 1/4" - 20UNC x 1/4" tripod thread on the bottom of the projector. This enables you to hang it from the ceiling using a specialized mounting bracket (not included).

1. Choose the installation position: Select a location on the ceiling that aligns with your screen/wall and allows for the correct projection distance as specified in the Nova Mini's manual.

2. Choose the right ceiling mount: To mount the Nova Mini on the ceiling, you will need to buy a ceiling mount with a standard 1/4" - 20UNC x 1/4" tripod thread. Also make sure your ceiling mount can hold the weight of your projector. This is critical for safety, as an improperly mounted projector can become a hazard.

3. Select a mounting location:  Find a place on the ceiling to mount your projector. Make sure that it’s the correct distance from your screen or wall for the projection size that you want, as specified in the Nova Mini manual.

4. Install the ceiling mount and projector:  Attach the ceiling mount to the ceiling using appropriate hardware. Then secure the projector to the mount, double-checking that it's firmly in place.

5. Adjust the projection: Power on the projector and adjust it as needed to properly align the image on your screen. Then, go to Settings > All Settings > Projector > Projection Type to flip the projection to the correct orientation.

Yes, you can adjust the image size using the digital zoom function. 

Go to Settings > Display > Keystone Correction > Adjust Size and Position. Use the Left and Right Arrow buttons to adjust the Zoom, which will make the projected image smaller. Once you’ve adjusted Zoom, you can adjust the Position of the screen as needed.

To play a 3D movie on your projector, you will need to connect an external HDMI device that can play 3D movies.

1. First, go to All Settings > Projector and make sure Brightness Mode is not set to SAE Mode.
2. Press the Source button on the remote control and select the HDMI input source you wish to use to watch a 3D movie.
3. Then, go to Settings > Picture > Advanced Settings > 3D Settings > 3D Format and select one of the available 3D formats.

Note:

• To watch 3D videos, you must use a pair of 120Hz active shutter DLP 3D glasses with left / right eye rotation feature (not included). For the best experience, we suggest purchasing NexiGo DLP Link 3D glasses (B0CJQQHMGS) from our official website or our Amazon store. Using an external 3D Blu-ray player (not included) will further enhance your 3D viewing experience.
• Not every 3D format supports refresh rates over 30 Hz. Refer to the chart below to determine which Refresh Rates are supported by your preferred 3D format.

To connect a soundbar or speaker, use one of the methods below.

Option 1: HDMI ARC (Recommended)

If your soundbar or speaker is compatible with HDMI ARC, connect your soundbar or speaker to the HDMI 1 port on the Nova Mini using an HDMI cable. Make sure to go to Settings > All settings > Display & Sound > Audio Output > Digital Output > Bypass to enable ARC on your projector. Also enable ARC on your soundbar or speaker as needed. With this setting enabled, audio is sent directly from the projector to the soundbar via HDMl with enhanced capabilities.

Option 2: Bluetooth

Enable Bluetooth on your soundbar or speaker. Then on the Nova Mini, go to Settings > Bluetooth > Pair Accessories, then select your soundbar or speaker from the list of available devices.
