Christie 0.361:1 Ultra-Short Throw Projector Lens - 140-133108-02

Product Overview

The Christie 140-133108-02 is a 0.361:1 ultra-short throw projection lens engineered for Christie GS Series 1DLP laser projectors. Its extreme UST throw ratio lets the projector sit just inches from the screen while filling large image widths, eliminating shadows from presenters and keeping light out of viewers' eyes. It is the lens of choice when mounting depth is limited or the projector must be concealed close to the display surface. As a genuine Christie optic, it preserves the brightness and sharpness the GS platform is known for.

Product Description

Ultra-short throw optics solve a common installation problem: how to produce a large image in a shallow room. With a 0.361:1 throw ratio, this lens projects an image roughly 2.8 times wider than its distance from the screen, so a sizable canvas is achievable from less than a meter away. That makes it well suited to interactive displays, retail backdrops, museum exhibits, and stage sets where the projector cannot be flown at a distance. The lens mounts directly to compatible GS Series chassis and is matched to the imaging path of Christie's 1DLP laser platform. Because the projector sits beside or below the screen rather than across the room, rigging, cabling, and alignment are simpler, and ambient walkway traffic never crosses the light path. Pair it with a GS Series projector to keep the entire system compact and discreet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 0.361:1 throw ratio mean in practice?
The projector needs a distance of only 0.361 times the image width — about 36" of distance for a 100"-wide image — allowing placement directly beside the screen.

Which projectors accept this lens?
It is designed for Christie GS Series 1DLP laser projectors. Confirm your exact model with our team before ordering if you are unsure.

Can I use this lens for rear projection?
Yes. Its short throw distance makes it popular for rear-projection cabinets and staging where depth behind the screen is limited.

Is lens shift available with a UST lens?
Offset range on UST optics is more limited than standard zoom lenses; verify the offset requirements of your installation against the projector's lens documentation.
