Product Overview
The Barco R9801228 is a wide angle zoom lens (EN13) with a 1.24-1.6:1 throw ratio at WUXGA, designed for the CNHD-81B, CNWU-81B, and CNWU-61B single-chip DLP projectors as well as the F32 and FL33 series. The zoom range lets integrators change projection distance without physically moving the projector, which is useful for permanent installations. It has a 1.3x optical zoom and a focal length of 25.59-33.24 mm. The standard focus range is 1.0 m to 15 m.
Product Description
This wide angle lens suits fixed installs where projector placement is constrained but image-size flexibility is still required, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and houses of worship. The zoom range allows operators to fine-tune display proportions for different audience sizes and presentation types after commissioning. As shown in the product image, the lens mounts on the EN-series lens interface used by the compatible projectors. An extended focus range is available on request from Barco. It is one of two EN lenses for these projectors alongside the fixed-throw R9801225 wide angle fixed lens (EN15).
