The Christie ILS (Integrated Lens System) 118-100111-XX is a high-performance zoom lens designed for use with specific Christie 3-chip DLP projectors, such as those in the Boxer, Griffyn, and Roadster series. This lens features a versatile zoom ratio, specifically a 1.25-1.6:1 range for SX+ resolution projectors and a 1.16-1.49:1 range for HD resolution models, allowing for flexible placement and image sizing in various installation environments. It is engineered to project a 0.95-inch DLP chip image with exceptional sharpness, color fidelity, and brightness uniformity across the entire screen. The lens construction includes high-quality glass elements with multi-coatings to maximize light transmission and minimize artifacts like chromatic aberration.

As part of Christie's ILS lineup, this lens is designed for quick, tool-less installation and features integrated electronic communication with the projector. This allows for remote control of lens functions—such as zoom, focus, and shift—directly from the projector's menu or a control system, simplifying setup and adjustment, especially in hard-to-reach installations like ceiling mounts. The robust mechanical build ensures precise and stable alignment, maintaining image integrity over long periods of operation. It is ideal for large-venue applications such as concert touring, rental/staging, fixed installations in auditoriums, and digital cinema where consistent, high-brightness image quality is required.

For projectionists and system integrators, this lens provides a critical link between the projector and the screen, offering the flexibility to fit different throw distances and screen sizes without compromising on optical performance. Its motorized functions and reliable design make it a key component for professional-grade projection systems that demand both image excellence and operational convenience.
