Product Overview

The Barco R98017201 is a GLD motorized zoom lens with a 1.43-2.12:1 throw ratio, built for the Barco F80 series and Medea projectors. It is part of Barco's GLD lens line for the F-series single-chip DLP installation platform. Power zoom and power focus let operators size and sharpen the image remotely. This article number, R98017201, covers the 0.64" WQXGA configuration that also reads 1.35-2.00:1 on 0.67" WQXGA+ imagers.

Product Description

This standard-zoom lens suits rooms where the projector sits at a moderate distance from the screen, including boardrooms, lecture halls, and worship spaces. The motorized zoom and focus work with Barco's lens management for repeatable image geometry across presets. As pictured in the gallery, the lens uses the GLD bayonet mount common to the F-series lens family, allowing tool-free swaps when a venue's throw distance changes. It is designed for projectors including the Barco F90 series and F80 line, and it sits alongside the longer-throw GLD 2.12-3.18:1 lens in the same family.
