Barco GLD Lens 0.85-1.06 : 1 - R98017241

Product Overview

The Barco GLD lens 0.85-1.06:1 (R98017241) is a standard zoom optic for the Barco F-series, specifically the F80 family of WQXGA projectors. Its short-to-standard throw ratio covers screens placed relatively close to the projector, making it a versatile general-purpose lens for F80 installs. The throw ratio is 0.85-1.06:1 on the F80 old (WQXGA 0.64") and 0.80-1.00:1 on the current F80 (WQXGA+ 0.67"). It is built for sharpness and fast focusing across that range.
