About the Christie 104-113101-08 Zoom Projector Lens, 2-2.8:1 0.95" SXGA+ / 1.8-2.6:1 CT 0.95" HD
The Christie 104-113101-08 is a professional-grade, high-performance zoom lens designed for Christie's 3-chip DLP projector platforms utilizing 0.95-inch DMD technology. This lens offers a versatile zoom range, specifically optimized for two resolution families: a 2.0-2.8:1 zoom ratio for SXGA+ (1400x1050) projectors and a 1.8-2.6:1 ratio for compatible HD (1920x1080) models. This flexibility allows system integrators to fine-tune the image size and placement during installation without physically moving the projector, making it an ideal choice for fixed installations where precise screen coverage is required but some adjustment capability is necessary, such as in corporate boardrooms, simulation facilities, and mid-sized auditoriums.
Engineered as part of Christie's Integrated Lens System (ILS), the lens ensures perfect mechanical and optical alignment with compatible projector models, guaranteeing sharp corner-to-corner focus, minimal distortion, and maximum light throughput. Its multi-element glass construction incorporates advanced anti-reflective coatings to enhance contrast and color fidelity, which is critical for maintaining the accurate color reproduction inherent in 3-chip DLP systems. The zoom and focus mechanisms are designed for smooth, precise manual adjustment, allowing technicians to dial in the perfect image during setup. The robust, all-metal housing provides durability and maintains precise optical alignment over the long term in permanent installations.
This lens is a key component in building a tailored projection system. Its zoom capability provides valuable installation flexibility, accommodating varying room depths and screen sizes while maintaining a high-quality image. By offering a specific zoom range matched to high-resolution projectors, the Christie 104-113101-08 enables integrators to achieve optimal results in challenging spaces, ensuring bright, sharp, and color-accurate visuals for critical viewing applications where image quality cannot be compromised.
