Christie 4K 3DLP; 4K 3DLP; Lens 1.45-2.17 UHC Zoom; Lens 1.45-2.17:1 (1.6-2.4 2K) Ultra High Contrast - ILS4- 163-119102-02

Product Overview

The Christie 163-119102-02 is an ultra-high-contrast (UHC) ILS4 zoom projection lens for Christie 4K 3DLP projectors, with a throw ratio of 1.45-2.17:1 at 4K (1.6-2.4:1 on 2K platforms). The standard-throw zoom range covers the most common installation geometries, while the UHC optics preserve black-level performance and image depth.

Product Description

This lens occupies the workhorse throw range of Christie's UHC 4K lens family. At 1.45-2.17:1 on 4K platforms (1.6-2.4:1 at 2K), the projector is positioned at roughly 1.45 to 2.17 times the image width from the screen, fitting typical auditorium, theater, and event projection positions without specialty optics. The ultra-high-contrast design is the right choice for controlled-light environments where black levels are visible, including screening rooms, visualization suites, and premium installations. As an ILS4 lens, it is automatically recognized when installed on compatible Christie 4K 3DLP projectors and supports motorized zoom and focus with repeatable position recall, which keeps lens changes quick and predictable. Confirm fit against your specific projector part number before ordering; our team can verify compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are two throw ratios listed?
The effective ratio depends on the imaging chip: 1.45-2.17:1 on 4K platforms and 1.6-2.4:1 on 2K platforms.

Which projectors accept this lens?
It is an ILS4-format lens for compatible Christie 4K 3DLP projectors. Send us your chassis part number to confirm fit.

When should I choose UHC over high brightness?
Choose UHC when black-level performance and image depth matter most, typically in controlled-light environments.

Do you carry the high-brightness version of this throw ratio?
Yes. See the Christie Digital collection for both variants and the full lens range.
