Christie Boxer Series 4.98-7.69:1 ILS High-Brightness Zoom Lens - 144-109101-03

Product Overview

The Christie Boxer Series 4.98-7.69:1 ILS High-Brightness Zoom Lens (144-109101-03) is a long-throw zoom for Christie Boxer projectors, built on the ILS4 intelligent lens platform. Its 4.98-7.69:1 throw range positions the projector roughly five to seven-and-a-half image widths from the screen, reaching projection positions at the back of large venues. High-brightness optics preserve the Boxer's light output over long throws. Creation Networks supplies Boxer lenses within the Christie Digital range.

Product Description

Long-throw positions are common in large venues: projection booths at the rear of auditoriums, follow-spot galleries, and rigging positions far from scenic surfaces. This lens covers those positions for Boxer-class projectors while its zoom range absorbs variation between venues — valuable for rental fleets that cannot re-lens per show. High-brightness optical design maximizes light transmission, keeping more of the Boxer's output on screen where long throw distances already tax brightness. The ILS4 mount provides motorized operation with automatic lens recognition and repeatable recall of offset, zoom, and focus positions, so saved configurations restore exactly between setups and service swaps. Exact throw distances for a given screen size should be confirmed with the Christie lens calculator; Creation Networks runs these calculations during quoting.

Key Features

• 4.98-7.69:1 Long-Throw Zoom — reaches rear-of-house projection positions in large venues.
• High-Brightness Optics — maximizes light transmission where long throws demand every lumen.
• ILS4 Intelligent Lens System — motorized control, automatic recognition, repeatable position recall.
• Boxer Series Compatibility — purpose-matched to Christie's large-venue 3DLP platform.
• Zoom Flexibility for Fleets — one lens covers varied venue geometries in rental and touring work.

Typical Applications

This lens serves large auditoriums and arenas with rear projection booths, live event staging and touring with Boxer fleets, theme park and attraction positions far from the projection surface, and large houses of worship with balcony or booth mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors accept this lens?
It is built for Christie Boxer Series projectors on the ILS4 mount. Confirm your exact Boxer model with Creation Networks before ordering.

How far back can the projector sit?
Between roughly 5x and 7.7x the projected image width. Creation Networks will run the exact Christie lens calculation for your screen size during quoting.

Why choose high-brightness over high-contrast glass for long throws?
Long throws spread light over distance, so maximizing transmission matters most; high-brightness optics keep more lumens on screen, while high-contrast glass is better reserved for dark-adapted short-throw venues.

Do stored lens settings recall reliably?
Yes. ILS4 stepper-motor encoding provides accurate, repeatable recall of offset, zoom, and focus positions — important for rental fleets and saved venue configurations. Request a quote for fleet pricing.
