Barco GC LENS (4.0 - 7.2 : 1) - R9802186

Product Overview

The Barco GC lens 4.0-7.2:1 (R9802186) is a long throw zoom optic for the Barco G-series and G100 WUXGA projector platform. Its long throw ratio places the projector far back from the screen, suiting deep auditoriums, rear-of-room booths and long-distance large-venue rigs. The lens is fully motorized on both zoom and focus and supports lens memory for both. A 1.8x zoom covers a wide span of long-throw geometries from a single optic.

Product Description

This GC long throw zoom lens is engineered for the longer projection distances on the G-platform, covering 4.25 m to 76.89 m depending on screen size. As shown in the product gallery, it uses the standard GC mount, projects 106.9 mm out of the projector body and has a 97 mm front diameter. Working F/# runs from 2.2 wide to 2.6 tele across an 84.1-149.8 mm focal range, with lens shift of vertical plus or minus 120 and horizontal plus or minus 50. Because lens memory covers both zoom and focus, integrators can store and recall full lens positions for scheduled or multi-aspect content.

This lens fits the Barco G-series and G100 WUXGA projectors. For the longest reach, step up to the GC+ lens 7.2-10.8:1; for a shorter long-zoom range, compare the GC lens 2.0-4.0:1.
