Epson ELPLX03 – Ultra Short-Throw Projector Lens

Product Overview

The Epson ELPLX03 is an ultra short-throw projector lens engineered for large-venue laser installations where projector placement is severely space-constrained. With a 0.35 throw ratio and a zero-offset design, this UST lens lets integrators position the projector close to the screen while still filling displays up to 1000 inches. It is purpose-built for the Epson Pro L-Series large-venue laser projectors, making it a key option for short-throw projection mapping, rear-projection, and low-ceiling auditorium installs.

Product Description

The ELPLX03 delivers a fixed 0.35 throw ratio, allowing very large images to be produced from a short projector-to-screen distance. This makes it well suited to narrow rooms, low-ceiling spaces, and rear-projection cabinets where a standard-throw lens cannot achieve the required image size. The lens supports a projected image range of 120 inches to 1000 inches, giving staging crews and fixed-install integrators substantial latitude in screen sizing. Wide lens shift, with a vertical range of +45% to +70% and a horizontal range of -15% to +15%, allows the image to be positioned accurately without moving the chassis. The unique zero-offset geometry maximizes the projected display size in low-ceiling applications, a common constraint in retail atriums and museum environments. The lens carries an integrated mount point for the optional Epson ELPEC01 external camera, enabling automated tools such as color calibration, screen matching across multiple projectors, tiling assist for edge blending, and stacking assist. It is compatible with the Epson Pro L30000UNL 30,000-lumen laser projector and the Pro L25000U platform (fitment on the L25000U requires service-center parts and a firmware update). Integrators specifying related optics can compare the rest of the Epson projector lineup and pair this lens with the appropriate large-venue chassis from the Pro L20000UNL series.

Key Features

• Ultra short-throw 0.35 throw ratio — Produces very large images from a short projector-to-screen distance, ideal for space-constrained venues.
• Zero-offset design — Maximizes projected display size in low-ceiling applications while minimizing shadows and light-path obstructions.
• Wide lens shift range — Vertical shift of +45% to +70% and horizontal shift of -15% to +15% support precise image placement without repositioning the chassis.
• Large screen coverage — Projects images from 120 inches up to 1000 inches for large-venue applications.
• F-number 2.2, focal length 11.16mm — Defined optical characteristics for predictable installation planning.
• ELPEC01 camera mount point — Enables auto color calibration, screen matching, tiling assist for edge blending, and stacking assist with the optional external camera.
• Large-venue compatibility — Designed for Epson Pro L25000U and Pro L30000U-series laser projectors.

Typical Applications

• Rear-projection cabinets and rear-throw installations in retail and corporate lobbies
• Low-ceiling auditoriums and lecture halls where throw distance is limited
• Projection mapping onto walls and irregular surfaces in tight quarters
• Museum and experiential exhibits requiring large images at short distances
• Rental and staging deployments on Epson Pro L-Series large-venue laser platforms
• Houses of worship with constrained projector placement

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors does the ELPLX03 fit?
It is designed for Epson Pro L25000U and Pro L30000U-series large-venue laser projectors, including the L30000UNL and L30002UNL. Fitment on the Pro L25000U requires service-center parts and a firmware update.

What screen size can this lens produce?
The ELPLX03 supports projected images from 120 inches up to 1000 inches, depending on the projector and installation geometry.

Is the zoom, focus, and shift powered?
This is a fixed ultra short-throw lens with a 0.35 throw ratio. It offers a wide lens shift range for image positioning. Confirm motorized control behavior against your specific projector model.

Can it be used for rear projection?
Yes. The 0.35 throw ratio and zero-offset design make the ELPLX03 well suited to rear-projection cabinets and low-ceiling applications.

Does it support edge blending and projector stacking?
Yes. With the optional Epson ELPEC01 external camera mounted, you can access tiling assist for edge blending and a stacking assist function.

Is this lens suitable for large-venue installations?
Yes. It is engineered specifically for Epson Pro L-Series large-venue laser projectors used in auditoriums, houses of worship, and projection-mapping deployments.
