The Christie 140-111104-01 is a high-ratio zoom lens engineered for large-venue projectors that require significant placement flexibility in challenging installation environments. With a substantial 2.0-4.0:1 zoom ratio, it offers a wide range of adjustment, allowing the projected image size to be varied dramatically without moving the projector itself. This capability is crucial for venues where the projector's location is fixed but the screen size or throw distance may need to accommodate different event configurations, such as multi-purpose auditoriums, large houses of worship, or rental and staging applications. The lens provides integrators with the freedom to standardize on a single lens model for various room sizes or to precisely tune the image after the projector is permanently mounted.

Designed for compatibility with high-brightness Christie large-venue projectors, this lens is constructed with precision glass elements to maintain image sharpness and light integrity across the entire zoom range. Its robust metal barrel ensures durability in fixed installations. The wide zoom range, however, often comes with a trade-off in maximum aperture size, which can reduce overall light output compared to lenses with a smaller zoom ratio—a calculated compromise for gaining greater placement versatility. For system designers facing variable throw distances or needing a one-lens solution for multiple similar venues, the Christie 140-111104-01 is a powerful tool that provides the adaptability required to achieve a perfectly sized image from a broad spectrum of possible projector positions.
