The Panasonic ET-D3QW200 is a professional short-throw zoom lens engineered specifically for the PT-RQ50K 3-Chip DLP™ 4K projector, delivering lifelike native 4K images from remarkably short throw distances. With a throw ratio ranging from 0.55 to 0.65:1 (for native 4K, 4096 x 2160 resolution), this lens enables the projection of massive 350-inch diagonal images from an installation depth of approximately 4,370 mm (172 inches), allowing viewers to approach within about 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) of the screen without casting distracting shadows. The lens incorporates a distinctive L-shaped design that significantly reduces the physical depth required for high-brightness projection, making it possible to install a 50,000-lumen 4K projector in spaces that were previously too narrow to accommodate such equipment. This design breakthrough opens new possibilities for immersive experiential entertainment, 360-degree panoramas, and tight venue installations such as museums, visitor centers, and corporate lobbies.

Built for professional-grade flexibility and ease of installation, the ET-D3QW200 features powered optical zoom with a 1.18x magnification ratio and motorized focus adjustment, enabling remote fine-tuning of image size and sharpness after the projector is fixed in place. The wide-range powered lens-shift capabilities provide vertical adjustment from -8% to +50% (expanding to -50% to +50% with the projector's supplied handle removed) and horizontal adjustment from 0% to +17%, offering exceptional installation flexibility without requiring projector relocation. The lens supports screen sizes from 100 to 1500 inches, with auto lens identification functionality for seamless recognition by compatible Panasonic projectors.

The ET-D3QW200 completes Panasonic's ultra-short-throw lens lineup across LCD, 1-Chip DLP, and 3-Chip DLP projector ranges, ensuring support for installations requiring any brightness level. The lens measures 313 mm wide, 192 mm high, and 532 mm deep, weighing approximately 11.3 kg (24.9 lbs), with a constant F-number of 2.5 and focal length range of 17.5 to 20.7 mm. While specifically designed for the PT-RQ50K series, this lens is also compatible with other Panasonic 3-Chip DLP models including the RQ45K, RZ44K, RQ35K, RZ34K, and RQ25K series, as documented in Panasonic's optional lens guide. This lens is ideal for high-end integration, themed entertainment, large-scale digital signage, and any application demanding immersive, shadow-free 4K imagery from minimal throw distances.
