Christie 1.2 to 1.5:1 Short Zoom Lens - 140-109101-01

Product Overview

The Christie 1.2 to 1.5:1 Short Zoom Lens (SKU 140-109101-02) is a short-throw zoom option for Christie H/HS Series 1DLP laser projectors, including the D12HD-H and D12WU-H. Its 1.2-1.5:1 throw ratio positions the projector at roughly 1.2 to 1.5 times the image width from the screen. Substantial vertical and horizontal lens shift gives installers real placement flexibility in constrained rooms.

Product Description

This lens covers the short-throw segment of the Christie H/HS Series lens family, making it the right choice when projection distance is limited by room depth, rigging positions, or rear-projection cabinet dimensions. The 1.2-1.5:1 zoom range provides fine adjustment between installation and screen, so the image can be sized precisely without moving the projector. Lens shift of ±120% vertical and ±50% horizontal at WUXGA (±133% vertical and ±50% horizontal at HD) allows significant off-axis mounting while keeping the image geometrically correct, avoiding digital keystone and the resolution loss it causes. The lens mounts with Christie's standard bayonet system used across the H/HS platform, so it exchanges quickly with longer-throw options in rental and staging inventories. As factory Christie glass, it maintains the optical performance the D12HD-H and D12WU-H light engines are specified to deliver.

Key Features

• 1.2-1.5:1 Short Throw Ratio — supports close projector placement in compact rooms and staging rigs.
• Zoom Adjustment Range — fine image sizing without physically relocating the projector.
• Wide Lens Shift — ±120% V / ±50% H at WUXGA and ±133% V / ±50% H at HD for off-axis mounting.
• H/HS Series Compatibility — fits Christie D12HD-H and D12WU-H 1DLP laser projectors.
• Quick-Change Mounting — swaps with other H/HS Series lenses for flexible venue coverage.
• Genuine Christie Optics — matched to the projector for edge-to-edge sharpness and uniformity.

Typical Applications

Typical deployments include boardrooms, lecture theaters, houses of worship, museums, and live event staging where the projector must sit close to the screen. The short throw also suits rear-projection enclosures and simulation environments built around H/HS Series projectors. Browse companion lenses in our Christie Digital collection.
