The Christie 140-115108-02 is a precision-engineered, short throw zoom lens designed for high-end digital cinema and large-venue projection applications. It is specifically crafted to be compatible with Christie's advanced 3-chip DLP cinema projectors, enabling the creation of expansive, high-resolution images from a relatively short distance to the screen. The lens features a throw ratio range of 1.02:1 to 1.36:1, categorizing it as a short throw solution ideal for installations where space behind the screen or in the projection booth is limited, such as in commercial multiplex auditoriums, premium large-format theaters, and simulation environments where long throw distances are not feasible. Its optical construction utilizes high-precision, multi-element glass with specialized coatings to maximize light transmission, minimize internal reflections, and ensure exceptional image sharpness and color fidelity across the entire native 4K or higher resolution panel of the host projector.

This lens provides manual adjustment for zoom, focus, and lens shift, offering installers the critical fine-tuning capabilities needed to achieve perfect image alignment and focus on complex screen surfaces, including slightly curved or angled screens. The robust mechanical construction ensures that once calibrated, the settings remain locked in place, providing long-term stability crucial for permanent installations. The lens is designed to maintain a consistent and bright aperture throughout its zoom range, preserving the projector's high light output and ensuring uniform brightness and color across the entire field of view. Its compatibility with specific high-brightness projector models allows it to handle intense light sources without introducing thermal focus drift or other artifacts, making it a reliable component in mission-critical projection systems.

The Christie 140-115108-02 is an essential tool for system integrators and cinema technicians who require optical flexibility without compromising on image quality. It facilitates installations in challenging spaces where a standard throw lens would not fit, while still delivering the pixel-perfect clarity and immersive scale expected from premium cinematic presentation. By enabling a shorter throw, it also allows for a more compact projector footprint and can contribute to a more efficient use of auditorium space. This lens exemplifies the tailored optical solutions required in professional cinema, combining meticulous engineering with practical installation benefits to support the delivery of stunning, large-format visual experiences.
