Product Overview

The Barco GLD lens 1.06-1.43:1 (R98017221) is a standard zoom optic for the Barco F-series, specifically the F80 family of 4K projectors. Its mid-range throw ratio suits typical front-projection rooms where the projector sits a moderate distance from the screen. The throw ratio is 1.06-1.43:1 on the F80 WQXGA 0.64" imager and 1.00-1.35:1 on the WQXGA+ 0.67" chip. It is a versatile general-purpose lens for fixed F80 installations.

Barco lists compatibility across the F80-4K7, F80-4K9, F80-4K12, F80-Q7, F80-Q9 and F80-Q12 projectors, as well as the Medea platform, all of which are designed for 24/7 fixed-install operation.
