Christie HS-Series 0.65-0.75 Zoom Lens - 140-144100-01

Product Overview

The Christie 140-144100-01 is a short zoom projection lens with a 0.65 to 0.75:1 throw ratio, compatible with Christie's D12HD-H and D12WU-H HS Series projectors. It allows the projector to be placed at approximately 0.65 to 0.75 times the width of the projected image from the screen, enabling large images in tight spaces.

Product Description

Short-throw optics solve installations where the projector simply cannot be placed far from the screen: shallow stages, low-ceiling rooms, rear-projection enclosures, and exhibit spaces. With a 0.65-0.75:1 throw ratio, this lens produces an image wider than the projection distance, so a D12HD-H or D12WU-H can sit close to the surface while still filling a large screen. The modest zoom range provides fine adjustment of image size at a fixed mounting position, simplifying final alignment after the projector is rigged. Specified by Christie for the D12HD-H and D12WU-H, the lens integrates with the HS Series lens mount system. If you are working with a different HS Series model, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors does this lens fit?
Christie specifies compatibility with the D12HD-H and D12WU-H HS Series projectors.

How close can the projector be to the screen?
With a 0.65-0.75:1 throw ratio, the projection distance is approximately 0.65 to 0.75 times the projected image width.

When should I choose a short-throw lens?
When mounting depth is limited, such as shallow stages, low-ceiling rooms, or rear-projection enclosures, a short-throw lens delivers a large image from a close position.

Do you carry other HS Series lenses?
Yes. See the Christie Digital collection for the full HS Series lens range.
