Mitsubishi OL-X500SZ 1.2:1 Short-Throw Zoom Lens

$20.80 - $42.00

The OL-X500SZ is a high-quality, interchangeable lens designed to replace the standard lens on specific large venue Mitsubishi projectors, such as the XL5950U, FL7000U, and HD8000 series. It is specifically engineered as a short-throw solution, allowing the projector to be placed closer to the screen than with a standard lens.The lens features both power zoom and power focus capabilities, which means adjustments can be made remotely using the projector's controls, rather than manually adjusting the lens itself. This provides installation flexibility and ease of use in permanent setups. The throw ratio is variable, generally between 1.3-1.6:1 for XGA models and 1.4-1.7:1 for wide-resolution models, which provides flexibility in placement for various screen sizes ranging from 60 to 300 inches diagonally.

About the Mitsubishi OL-X500SZ 1.2:1 Short-Throw Zoom Lens

The Mitsubishi OL-X500SZ is a professional, high-performance short-throw zoom lens designed for large-venue projectors, specifically models like the Christie Roadster and certain large-format DLP projectors. With a 1.2:1 zoom ratio, it offers a degree of installation flexibility, allowing for fine-tuning of the image size without physically moving the projector, which is crucial in fixed installations where placement is constrained. Its defining characteristic is its short throw capability; it can project a very large image from a relatively short distance from the screen, making it ideal for spaces with limited depth, such as meeting rooms, command centers, and rear-projection applications where the projector must be placed close to the screen or within a confined enclosure.

Constructed with high-quality glass elements and precision mechanics, the lens is engineered to maintain sharp focus and minimal geometric distortion across the entire projected image, even at the edges. It is designed to handle the high lumen output and thermal load of large-venue projectors without introducing chromatic aberration or focus drift. The lens features manual zoom, focus, and lens shift controls, allowing installers to meticulously align and fit the image to the screen. Its robust metal housing ensures durability and maintains optical alignment over time, even with frequent adjustments or in mobile setups.

Integration of the OL-X500SZ lens transforms a compatible projector's deployment possibilities. By enabling large-scale projection in space-constrained environments, it solves a common challenge in system design. The lens's optical quality ensures that the projector's native resolution and brightness are delivered with fidelity, providing a crisp, bright, and accurately sized image. For system integrators designing complex visual displays in control rooms, simulators, or large conference venues, this lens is a critical component for achieving the desired visual impact within the physical constraints of the room.
