The signal processing module 12 separates the multi-channel audio signal into a first audio signal and a second audio signal according to the types of speakers of the built-in audio unit 11 and the external audio unit 20, and then sends the first audio signal and the second audio signal to the built-in audio unit 11 and the external audio unit 20, respectively. Furthermore, if the built-in audio unit 11 includes multiple speakers, it also includes a signal processing module for separating the audio signals of each channel in the first audio signal and sending them to each speaker respectively. Similarly, if the external audio unit 20 includes multiple speakers, the signal processing module 12 separates the second audio signal into multiple audio signals and sends them to the corresponding speakers respectively. Furthermore, if the speaker includes multiple speakers, the speaker also includes a signal processing module for separating the multiple audio signals and sending them to each speaker respectively.

[0024] It should be noted that the projector 10 and the external audio unit 20 can be connected through wired audio transmission, such as through HDMI ARC, HDMI eARC connection, etc., or through wireless audio transmission connection, such as Wi-Fi audio transmission connection, wireless HDMI (Wireless HDMI) connection, etc.

[0025] In the wireless connection embodiment, the projector 10 also includes a wireless HDMI transmitting module (not shown in the figure), the external audio unit 20 includes a wireless HDMI receiving module (not shown in the figure), and the signal processing module 12 is connected to the wireless HDMI transmitting module for audio transmission, and the second audio signal is sent to the external audio unit 20 through the wireless HDMI transmitting module and the wireless receiving module.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a projection system 200 in one embodiment of the present application, wherein the projection system 200 includes a projector 10, an external audio unit 20, and a screen 30, wherein the external audio unit 20 includes a front right (FR) surround speaker 21, a first bass speaker 22, a rear right (BR) surround speaker 23, a front left (FL) surround speaker 24, a second bass speaker 25, and a rear left (BL) surround speaker 26. In one embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the built-in audio unit 10 of the projector 10 includes a front speaker 111, a first sky speaker 112, and a diaphragm 113. When the projector receives a video signal source, it sends the image signal to the optical machine for processing and then projects it onto the screen 30, and divides the audio signal of the sound source into two channels. The first audio signal is sent to the built-in audio unit 10, and the second audio signal is sent to the external audio unit 20. Specifically, the front left (FL) surround speaker 24 and the front right (FR) surround speaker 21 are used to play the main music, ambient sound and sound effects; the rear right (BR) surround speaker 23 and the rear left (BL) surround speaker 26 are located behind the audience to further enhance the ambient sound and positioning sound effects; the second surround speaker 24 is used to play the main music, ambient sound and sound effects; the front right (BR) surround speaker 23 and the rear left (BL) surround speaker 26 are located behind the audience to further enhance the ambient sound and positioning sound effects; the second surround speaker 26 ...FR) surround speaker 23 and the rear left (BL) surround speaker 26 are located behind the audience to further enhance the ambient sound and positioning sound effects; the second surround speaker 26 is used to play the main music, ambient sound and sound effects; the front right (BR) surround speaker 23 and the rear left (BL) surround speaker 26 are located behind the audience to further enhance the ambient sound and positioning sound effects; the second surround speaker A subwoofer 22 and a second subwoofer 25 are used to play low-frequency effects, such as explosions and engine sounds, or only one subwoofer may be provided. The front speaker 111 of the built-in audio unit 10 is usually used to transmit dialogues, making the dialogues clear and audible. The sound outlet of the front speaker 111 is provided on the front wall of the projector 10 facing the audience. The first sky speaker 112 of the built-in audio unit 10 is mainly used to play sound effects from overhead or vertical directions, such as rain, wind, the sound of an airplane flying by, explosions, thunder, etc., to enhance the three-dimensional spatial sense of the sound effects. It should be noted that the three speakers included in the front speakers 111 can all be used to play the center vocal audio signal, with the front right (FR) surround speaker 21 playing the right channel vocal audio signal and the front left (FL) surround speaker 24 playing the left channel vocal audio signal; or the middle one of the three speakers of the front speakers 111 can play the center vocal audio signal, and the left and right speakers play the left and right channel vocal audio signals respectively, the front right (FR) surround speaker 21 plays the right channel background sound audio signal, and the front left (FL) surround speaker 24 plays the left channel background sound audio signal.

[0027] It should be noted that the projection system can also add side surround speakers (SL and SR), located on the left and right sides of the audience, to enhance the immersive feeling and ambient sound effect. Figure 3 As shown, there are 3 speakers: center channel speaker, left channel speaker, and right channel speaker. Figure 3 As shown, the first sky speakers 112 may also be provided on each of the left and right sides of the projector 10 .

[0028] Furthermore, the built-in audio unit 10 of the projector further includes a bass passive diaphragm 113 and a sound outlet (not shown) provided on the side wall of the projector 10 in cooperation with the bass passive diaphragm 113. The passive diaphragm 113 can enhance the bass sound effect when the projector 10 is used alone.

[0029] Specifically, the first sky speaker 112 is disposed on the top wall of the projector 10 , and its sound outlet is tilted upward so that the emitted sound waves can be transmitted to the user after being reflected by the ceiling.

[0030] Furthermore, the front left surround speaker 24, the front right surround speaker 21, and / or the rear left surround speaker 26, the rear right surround speaker 23 further include a second overhead speaker configured to process high-frequency audio signals in the second audio signal. The sound outlet of the second overhead speaker can be positioned upward or downward. When facing upward, the overhead sound is reflected sound waves, while when facing downward, the overhead sound is direct sound waves.

[0031] In one embodiment, the projector is an ultra-short-throw projector, such as a laser TV, whose projection lens is set back to the user, and the projection light enters the user's field of view after being reflected by the screen.

[0032] The projection system provided in the present application can provide a better sound experience for the projection system by setting a built-in audio unit in the projector to cooperate with an external audio unit. On the other hand, the setting of the external audio unit increases the flexibility of users in using the product. Users can match different numbers of audio units according to their needs to achieve different sound effects. In addition, setting a built-in audio unit in the projector can improve the sound effect of the projector itself without using an external audio unit.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
