Product Overview
The Sharp NP40ZL is a motorized short-throw zoom lens with a 0.79-1.14:1 throw ratio, compatible with the NP-PA653U, NP-PA803U, NP-PA853W, and NP-PA903X LCD installation projectors. This lens enables close-range projection with a 50 to 500-inch screen size range, suited for rooms where the projector must be positioned close to the screen. Motorized zoom and focus allow remote optical adjustment after installation without physical access to the projector.
Product Description
The NP40ZL serves the short-throw position in the lens series for the NP-PA653U/PA803U/PA853W/PA903X PA series projector platforms. With a 0.79-1.14:1 throw range and f/2-2.5 aperture, focal length 13.3-18.6mm, it covers projection distances appropriate for mid-depth rooms where a standard-throw lens would require more distance. At a 100-inch-wide screen, the NP40ZL positions the projector approximately 5.7 to 8.2 feet away. Motorized zoom and focus allow setup adjustments from the projector remote after ceiling installation, reducing the need for ladder access during commissioning.
The NP40ZL is sold separately from the compatible projector bodies and must be specified as a separate line item in AV system designs.
