The ultraportable and compact ASUS S1
Mobile LED Projector features an
internal rechargeable 22Wh battery that
delivers up to 3 hours of projection time,
and allows the S1 to function as a
6,000mAh power bank for charging
mobile devices. A best-in-class short

throw ratio allows the S1 to project 41-

inch images from just 1 meter from the
screen.

LED Projector

The use of an LED light source provides
the S1 with Instant On/Off capabilities
with almost no warm up or cool down
times. ASUS SonicMaster audio­enhanced technology provides quality
sound; while the MHL port lets users
connect the S1 to mobile devices as a
projection source while charging them at

the same time.

Using an S1 for business can be a smart move that yields big results. You don’t

need to haul bulky projectors everywhere you go. Just invest in a portable projector,
load it with your presentation and show your clients what your firm can do for them.

Using an S1 for entertainment purposes a brisk move that shares big screen fun.
Any large flat vertical surface can serve as your screen, and having its own battery
means you won’t have to look for power sockets.

Battery mode

It allows you to optimize power
consumption (50 lumens) while running
on battery power.

Presentation mode

This is suited for quick use. It provides a
higher brightness (70 lumens) when
running on batteries and will lasts up to
100mins.

Emergency light

This emits a white pulse when the S1 is
running on batteries and has no input
signal. It serves as an S.O.S. beacon
when you are in need of help.

The S1’s LED light source has a
30,000-hour lifespan, so you can use
the S1 for eight hours a day for up to
10 years without needing a

replacement lamp.

It also gives the S1 an Instant On/Off

ASUS designers penned the S1’s

Zen-inspired lines and gave its sleek,
modern chassis a stylish concentric­circle finish. Finished in aluminum,
this premium design helped the S1
win the 2014 CES Innovations Award
and 2014 iF product design award.

The use of aluminum aids in heat
dissipation and prevents the S1 from
overheating. The lens cap has also
been designed to protect the lens
from damage as well as dust.

LED Projector

Ans:
LED projection technology naturally has better color saturation than traditional mercury
lamps used in standard projectors. When seen side-by-side, LED projectors project images as
bright as high lumen lamp projectors. Lamp projectors often deteriorate in color and brightness

from day 1 whereas LED projectors ensure bright, crisp images even after several thousand

hours of use.

LED Light Source

Q. What’s difference between an LED and a traditional lamp light source?

Ans:
The LED light source used by the S1 has a 30,000-hour lifespan, equating to 10 times the

lifespan of traditional lamps (usually around 3,000 hours). In theory, that means the user also
helps save the environment by not using a mercury-based lamp.

The compact LED module also helps with the S1’s “Instant On/Off” capability, and also adds to
the S1’s small, portable design.

LED Projector

Operation

Q. What’s the ideal projection distance for the S1?

Ans:
The proper projection distance will be set at 0.73~2.43m to give projections which range from

30”~100” in size. For larger projections, move the S1 further than 2.43m from the screen; do
note that this will reduce image brightness.

Q. What environment does the S1 work best in?

Ans:
The S1 works best in small settings (eg. meetings rooms for 5 people) with low ambient light.

Short Throw Ratio

Q. What does S1 with 1.1:1 throw ratio mean?

A projector’s throw ratio is defined as the distance

(D), measured from lens to screen, that a
projector is placed from the screen, divided by
the width (W) of the image that it will project
(D/W).

i.e.

Throw distance = A

Projector

@ TR 1.1 : 41” Display at 1 meter away from

the projector [S1’s TR]

@ TR 1.55 : 30” Display at 1 meter away from

the projector [Others]

LED Projector

Battery-powered

Q. What are the benefits of the S1’s built-in battery?

Ans:
The S1’s compact chassis houses a built-in rechargeable 22Wh battery that provides up to 3
hours of projection time on a full charge. It lets users set up the projector almost anywhere
without having to worry where the nearest power socket is.

When running on battery power. only two preset modes are available for selection

BATTERY MODE (3 hours@ 50 lumens)
PRESENTATION MODE(1.8 hours@ 70 lumens)

Note: Like all batteries, the battery lifespan is affected after every charge-discharge cycle.

Power bank inside

Q. What is the benefit of using the S1 as USB power bank?

Ans:
The S1 Mobile LED Projector’s built-in battery helps to power up the S1 for projections, and also
doubles up as a USB power bank to charge mobile devices. At full charge, it has a 6,000mAh
capacity which allows users to charge an iPhone 5 four times over.
