Christie 2.0 to 4.0:1 Zoom Lens - 144-111014-01

Product Overview

The Christie 2.0 to 4.0:1 Zoom Lens (144-111014-01) is a long-throw zoom for Christie H Series projectors, compatible with the D12HD-H and D12WU-H. Its 2.0-4.0:1 throw range positions the projector approximately two to four times the image width from the screen, covering most mid-to-rear projection positions in a single lens. Zoom and focus memory stores settings for repeatable recall. Creation Networks supplies H Series lenses within the Christie Digital range.

Product Description

A 2x zoom range gives integrators substantial placement flexibility: the same lens covers a projector mounted mid-room or at the rear of a venue, simplifying inventory for rental fleets and reducing re-lensing when rooms change. The lens provides generous shift range — up to ±120-133% vertical and ±50% horizontal depending on projector model — allowing off-axis mounting above ceilings, behind sightlines, or beside obstructions without keystone distortion. Zoom and focus memory means stored configurations recall exactly, which matters for venues that alternate between screen formats or for staging crews restoring a saved setup. The compact assembly ships at 6.45 lb in a 13.8 x 7.6 x 7.5-inch box, easy to transport alongside the projector.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors does this lens fit?
It is compatible with the Christie D12HD-H and D12WU-H H Series projectors. For other H Series models, verify compatibility with Creation Networks before ordering.

How do I know if 2.0-4.0:1 is the right throw range?
If your projector sits roughly two to four image-widths from the screen, this lens covers it. Creation Networks runs the exact lens calculation for your room as part of a quote.

Does it retain settings between setups?
Yes. Zoom and focus memory stores lens positions, so saved projector configurations recall accurately — useful for venues with multiple screen formats and for rental crews.

Can the projector be mounted off-axis?
The shift range — up to ±120-133% vertical and ±50% horizontal depending on model — supports significant off-axis placement without optical distortion.
