Christie 1.16 to 1.49:1 ILS Zoom Lens - 118-100111-03

Product Overview

The Christie 118-100111-03 is an ILS zoom projection lens from the M Series lens suite with a 1.16-1.49:1 throw ratio on HD/WU projectors (1.25-1.6:1 on SXGA+ models). Vendor data also lists compatibility with the Christie M 4K25 RGB pure laser projector. Every lens in this suite includes a true Intelligent Lens System with stepper-motor encoding for accurate, repeatable lens positioning.

Product Description

This standard-throw zoom lens covers the most common installation geometries for Christie M Series-class projectors. On HD/WU models the throw ratio is 1.16-1.49:1, placing the projector at roughly 1.16 to 1.49 times the image width from the screen; on SXGA+ models the effective ratio is 1.25-1.6:1. The Intelligent Lens System automatically recognizes and calibrates the lens when it is installed, removing manual configuration from lens swaps. Stepper-motor-based encoding avoids the motor drift typical of DC-encoded designs, so saved offset, zoom, and focus positions are recalled accurately every time, an important property for venues that change formats or for rental inventories where lenses move between projectors. Christie's listing also identifies compatibility with the M 4K25 RGB pure laser projector; confirm fit against your specific chassis before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the throw ratio differ between projector models?
The effective throw ratio depends on the imaging chip: 1.16-1.49:1 on HD/WU products and 1.25-1.6:1 on SXGA+ products.

What does the Intelligent Lens System do?
ILS automatically recognizes and calibrates the lens on installation and uses stepper-motor encoding for accurate, repeatable recall of all lens positions.

Which projectors does this fit?
It is listed for Christie M Series projectors and the M 4K25 RGB pure laser projector. Send us your chassis part number and we will confirm fit.

Do you carry other throw ratios in this suite?
Yes. See the Christie Digital collection for the complete ILS lens range.
