CHOOSING A LENS
Rev D October 2019
Choosing A Lens
A number of lenses are available. Which lens you choose depends on the screen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light output.
The following table shows all available lenses in order of their
throw ratios
:
Throw ratios
Focus range
Lens shift
1.20 - 1.56 : 1 zoom
1 m - 8 m
V: 0.5 (U) 0.5 (D) frame
H: 0.15 (L) 0.15 (R) frame
1.50 - 2.00 : 1 zoom
2 m - 12 m
V: 0.5 (U) 0.3 (D) frame
H: 0.15 (L) 0.15 (R) frame
2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom
2.5 m - 15 m
V: 0.5 (U) 0.3 (D) frame
H: 0.15 (L) 0.15 (R) frame
4.00 - 7.00 : 1 zoom
4 m - 42 m
V: 0.5 (U) 0.3 (D) frame
H: 0.15 (L) 0.15 (R) frame
To choose a lens, calculate the
throw ratio
required.
Notes
Throw distance calculations are
based on the distance from the outer
end of the lens, which will vary from
lens to lens.
The distance between the front
of the projector chassis and the
outer end of the lens is called
lens
extension
. Lens extensions is
measured when the lens is focused
at in
fi
nity, and fully extended.
Refer to the projector CAD drawings
for individual lens extension
fi
gures.
For information about individual lens
part numbers, see
Appendix A
at
the end of this document.
