Barco GC Lens (0.84 1.02 1) - R9802181

Product Overview

The Barco GC lens 0.84-1.02:1 (R9802181) is a short throw zoom optic for the Barco G-series and G100 WUXGA projector platform. Its short-to-near-unity throw ratio fills a large screen from relatively close range, suiting rooms where the projector sits near the screen wall. The lens is motorized on both zoom and focus for precise alignment. A 1.2x zoom provides placement flexibility within the short-throw window.

Product Description

This GC short throw zoom lens is built for close-projection geometries on the G-platform, covering throw distances from 0.90 m to 10.98 m. As shown in the product gallery, it uses the standard GC mount, projects 53.12 mm out of the projector body and has a 180 mm front diameter. Working F/# runs from 2.0 wide to 2.3 tele across an 18.13-21.75 mm focal range, with lens shift of vertical plus or minus 74 and horizontal plus or minus 26. Zoom and focus are powered for accurate setup; this lens does not include lens memory.

This lens fits the Barco G-series and G100 WUXGA projectors. For an even shorter throw, see the GC lens 0.65-0.75:1; for a standard mid-throw with lens memory, compare the GC lens 1.2-1.5:1.
