Sharp NP48ZL – 2.0-4.0:1 Long-Throw Zoom Lens for NP-PX2000UL

Product Overview

The Sharp NP48ZL is a motorized long-throw zoom lens with a 2.0-4.0:1 throw ratio and 2.3x zoom, designed for the NP-PX2000UL, NP-PX2000UL-47ZL, and NP-PX2000UL-R professional installation projectors. This lens covers long projection distances for large auditoriums, lecture halls, and houses of worship requiring the NP-PX2000UL to be mounted further from the screen than the standard-throw NP47ZL allows. Screen size support spans 40 to 500 inches diagonal. Motorized zoom and focus allow remote optical adjustment after installation.

Product Description

The NP48ZL is the long-throw lens option for the NP-PX2000UL platform, extending coverage above the NP47ZL (1.5-2.0:1). With a 2.3x zoom ratio spanning 2.0-4.0:1, the NP48ZL positions the projector between approximately 14.4 and 28.8 feet from a 100-inch-wide screen. This range covers large conference rooms, mid-size auditoriums, and rear-of-room ceiling mounts in venues where the NP47ZL's maximum throw would not place the projector far enough for the required image geometry. The broad zoom range provides significant flexibility in final positioning without the need for lens changes.

The NP48ZL is sold separately from the NP-PX2000UL projector body and must be specified as a distinct line item in commercial AV system designs.
