The Christie 118-100112-01 is a high-performance Intelligent Lens System (ILS) zoom lens designed for 3-chip DLP projectors, primarily within the Christie M and J Series. This lens provides installation flexibility for a variety of large-venue applications, offering a variable throw ratio depending on the projector's native resolution: 1.5-2.0:1 for SXGA+ resolution and 1.4-1.8:1 for HD/WU resolution.

A key feature of this lens is the embedded Intelligent Lens System, which automatically recognizes and calibrates the lens upon installation, streamlining the setup process. The system uses stepper motor-based encoding to ensure precise and repeatable recall of all lens parameters (offset, zoom, and focus), which effectively eliminates motor drift common in traditional DC-encoded motors. This makes it ideal for applications requiring consistent performance or multiple preset image positions, such as in rental staging or multi-projector blending setups. The lens supports significant vertical and horizontal offset capabilities, allowing for a wide range of projector placement options relative to the screen. The 0.95" designation refers to its compatibility with projectors utilizing a 0.95-inch imaging surface, which are typically high-brightness models for large screen applications.
