Product Overview

The Christie 163-118101-01 is a high-contrast ILS4 zoom projection lens with a 1.13-1.66:1 throw ratio for Christie 4K 3DLP (UHC 4K) projector platforms. Its short-to-standard throw range covers many common installation geometries while the high-contrast optical design preserves black-level performance. ILS4 format provides motorized operation with automatic lens recognition on compatible projectors.

Product Description

This lens occupies the versatile short-to-standard throw segment of Christie's UHC 4K lens family. With a 1.13-1.66:1 throw ratio, the projector is placed at roughly 1.13 to 1.66 times the image width from the screen, a range that fits the majority of mid-size venue installations without resorting to extreme short-throw or long-throw optics. The high-contrast design is intended for environments where image depth and black levels matter, such as screening rooms, visualization spaces, and premium event staging. 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. Confirm compatibility against your projector part number before ordering; our team can verify fit.
