Barco XLD lens (0.38 : 1) UST 90° (Ultra Short Throw) - R9802580

Product Overview

The Barco XLD 0.38:1 UST 90° (R9802580) is a high-brightness ultra-short-throw lens for Barco's 1.38" DC4K projector platform, including the XDX-4K40. Its 0.38:1 throw ratio fills a large image from a very short projection distance, ideal for space-constrained installs and rear-projection setups. The lens is engineered for the native 4K resolution and RGB laser output of the XDX series. A UST lens support bracket (R9802714) is required for mounting and is sold separately.

Product Description

This XLD high-brightness ultra-short-throw lens (R9802580) delivers a 0.38:1 throw ratio on the 1.38" DC4K DMD format, letting integrators place the projector close to the screen while still covering a large surface. The product image shows the wide UST front element characteristic of 90° ultra-short-throw optics. It is purpose-built for the Barco XDX-4K40 native 4K RGB laser projector, which ships without a lens and accepts a range of XLD optics. Because mounting requires the dedicated UST lens support kit R9802714, confirm that bracket is included in your order. For long-throw and zoom alternatives across other Barco engines, review the TLD+ lens options in the TLD+ ANY 4 lens pack with UST and browse the full Barco collection. This lens suits themed entertainment, museum, and immersive deployments where projector placement is tight.
