About the Christie 118-100113-XX ILS 3-Chip DLP Projector Lens, 2.0-2.8:1 SX+ / 1.8-2.6:1 HD .95"
The Christie 118-100113-XX is a high-performance, long-throw zoom lens designed for 3-chip DLP projectors in the Christie ILS (Integrated Lens Series) platform. Engineered for large-venue installations such as concert halls, auditoriums, houses of worship, and large conference centers, this lens features a versatile 2.0-2.8:1 zoom ratio (SX+ format) and a 1.8-2.6:1 ratio (HD .95" format), allowing for precise image sizing and placement from significant throw distances. It is constructed with high-quality, multi-element glass optics that are meticulously coated to maximize light transmission, ensure color fidelity, and maintain sharp edge-to-edge focus across the entire image. The lens is built to the rigorous standards required for demanding 24/7 operation in professional environments.
This lens model is specifically designed to be compatible with Christie's high-brightness 3-chip DLP projectors, forming a key component in creating stunning, large-scale visual displays. Its motorized zoom, focus, and shift functions allow for remote adjustment and precise calibration during installation and setup, which can be critical when the projector is mounted in hard-to-reach locations. The robust mechanical construction ensures long-term stability and alignment, preventing image drift over time. The optical design minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion, delivering a crisp, bright, and color-accurate image even when projecting onto very large or unconventional surfaces.
As a critical part of a large-format projection system, this lens enables installers to tailor the projection setup to the specific constraints of a venue, such as long throw distances from ceiling mounts to a stage or screen. Its specifications indicate a design optimized for both SX+ and HD .95" chip sets, providing flexibility across different projector models. The Christie ILS lens represents a professional-grade optical component that ensures the native resolution and brightness of the projector are delivered with maximum integrity, forming the essential optical link between the digital image source and the final, impactful visual experience.
