Barco GC Lens (1.02 1.36 1) - R9802182

Product Overview

The Barco R9802182 GC lens is a short-throw motorized zoom lens for the Barco G-series, specifically the G100 installation projectors. With a 1.02-1.36:1 throw ratio optimized for WUXGA, it places the projector close to the screen, making it well suited to shallow rooms, tight rigging positions and large images at short distances. It is the short-throw member of the GC lens line, complementing longer-throw siblings on the same projector bodies. Motorized zoom and focus allow framing from the projector controls.

Product Description

The R9802182 is part of Barco's GC lens range for the G100 platform. It offers a 21.5-28.7mm focal length, a working aperture of f/2.0 (wide) to f/2.3 (tele) and a 1.33x zoom ratio, with a throw distance from 1.10 to 14.65 m and a focus range of 50 to 500 inches. Motorized zoom and focus pair with motorized lens shift (vertical +/-82, horizontal +/-30); note that this short-throw lens does not support the lens memory feature. The product image shows the wide 120 mm front element typical of short-throw optics. For longer placement on the same projectors, see the GC lens 1.5-2.0:1, and browse the full Barco collection for compatible G100 projectors.
