1. Appearance
Emotn C1 projector adopts a bold and recognizable design for appearance. The top of the projector uses the “roof” shape design, and the body material is made of a white polymer material, which is wrapped from the top to the bottom.
A long groove is carved out in the middle of the top to place mobile phones and remote controls. Two sidebars and the groove are made of silica gel, bringing comfortable and soft touch.
The two sides are gray honeycomb cooling vents. Overall, the color contrast of white and fluorescent yellow colors makes the projector more fashionable and youthful.
On the front of the body is a fixed focus projection lens. Above the lens, there are focusing knob and a keystone correction knob. Obviously, focusing and correction need manual operation. The position opposite to the focusing gear is the projection button. There are many keys, among which the OK button uses a golden color as an ornament, which makes the operation have a sense of ritual.
Look at the back of the projector, there are various ports, which can be directly connected to the computer, PS5, USB disk, TV box, stereo, and even mobile phone.
