Christie 0.37:1 UST ILS Fixed Lens - 118-131106-03

Product Overview

The Christie 0.37:1 UST ILS Fixed Lens (118-131106-03) is an ultra-short-throw lens from the M Series lens suite, delivering a 0.37:1 throw ratio when used with Christie M Series HD/WU projectors. Like every M Series lens, it is motorized and operates on Christie's Intelligent Lens System (ILS), which automatically recognizes and calibrates the lens at installation. It enables large images in extremely tight projection distances. Creation Networks stocks Christie lenses across the Christie Digital range.

Product Description

Ultra-short-throw optics let integrators place an M Series projector close to the screen — useful where rear-projection depth is limited, where presenters must avoid casting shadows, or where mounting positions are constrained by architecture. The ILS platform uses stepper-motor-based encoding rather than DC encoded motors, eliminating motor drift and providing accurate, repeatable recall of all lens offset, zoom, and focus positions. That repeatability matters in multi-projector and rental workflows where lens settings are stored and recalled between configurations. Throw distances for a given screen size should be confirmed with the Christie lens calculator or the throw distance chart for the specific M Series projector model; Creation Networks can run these calculations for your room.

Key Features

• 0.37:1 Ultra-Short Throw — produces large images from minimal projection distance.
• Intelligent Lens System (ILS) — automatic lens recognition and calibration on installation.
• Stepper-Motor Encoding — no motor drift; accurate, repeatable recall of offset, zoom, and focus positions.
• M Series HD/WU Compatibility — purpose-built for Christie M Series projectors.
• Fixed Focal Design — consistent optical performance for permanent installations.

Typical Applications

This UST lens suits rear-projection cabinets and screens with shallow depth, museum and exhibit installations, simulation environments, edge-blended arrays in confined spaces, and stage or scenic projection where the projector must sit close to the surface — all within M Series-based systems for auditoriums, attractions, and large venues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors accept this lens?
It is designed for Christie M Series HD/WU projectors, where it provides a 0.37:1 throw ratio. Confirm your exact projector model with Creation Networks before ordering.

Does the projector recognize the lens automatically?
Yes. The Intelligent Lens System automatically recognizes and calibrates the lens when installed, and stepper-motor encoding ensures stored lens positions recall accurately every time.

How do I verify the throw distance for my screen size?
Throw distance depends on the projector model and image width. Creation Networks will run the Christie lens calculation for your room as part of the quote process.

Is this lens suitable for rental and staging use?
Yes. Repeatable ILS position recall makes it practical for rental workflows where lenses move between projectors and saved configurations must restore exactly.
