Christie 5.7 to 9.0:1 Zoom Lens - 103-123107-01

Product Overview

The Christie 5.7 to 9.0:1 Zoom Lens is a motorized long-throw zoom lens for the Christie LHD700 and LX700 projectors. With the LX700 it delivers a 5.71 to 9.0:1 throw ratio, and with the LHD700 a 5.71 to 8.96:1 throw ratio, placing the projector roughly 5.7 to 9 times the image width from the screen. Motorized zoom and focus allow remote adjustment after installation. It is the lens choice for long-distance projection positions such as rear-of-house booths and high mounting points.

Product Description

Long-throw lenses let integrators place a projector far from the screen — in a projection booth, on a distant truss position, or at the back of a deep venue — while still filling the intended image size. This Christie lens covers throw distances from 25.3 to 257.5 feet (7.7 to 78.5 m), with a 1.57x zoom ratio that provides flexibility in final image sizing without moving the projector. The optical design runs f/2.2 to 2.7 with a focal length of 148 to 234mm. Generous lens shift — vertical 10:0 to 1:1 and horizontal 3:2 to 2:3 — helps align the image to the screen geometry without keystone correction. Because zoom and focus are motorized, adjustments can be made from the projector's control system after the unit is rigged or ceiling-mounted. The lens measures 4.5 inches in diameter by 9.0 inches long and weighs 4.3 lb (1.95 kg). Browse more Christie lenses in our Christie Digital collection.
