Panasonic ET-D3LES20 1.7 – 2.4:1 Zoom lens equipped with stepping motor for use with PT-RQ35KU, PT-RZ34KU, PT-RQ22KU, PT-RZ21KU and PT-RZ16KU 3DLP projectors

Product Overview

The Panasonic ET-D3LES20 is a motorized 1.7 - 2.4:1 standard zoom engineered for Panasonic 3-chip DLP laser projectors in large-venue and fixed-install commercial AV systems. As a powered projector lens with a stepping motor and lens-memory support, it lets integrators dial in precise image geometry for auditoriums, houses of worship, and broadcast studios. This standard-throw optic pairs with compatible Panasonic 3DLP projectors to deliver accurate throw-distance control in demanding installations.

Product Description

The ET-D3LES20 is a powered zoom lens built for Panasonic 3DLP laser projectors, covering a 1.7 - 2.4:1 throw ratio across a 35.0 - 50.9 mm focal range at an f/2.5 aperture. The integrated stepping motor and EEPROM support motorized zoom, focus, and lens-shift recall, so the lens works with the projector's lens-memory presets for multi-screen and edge-blended configurations. This makes it suited to fixed rack-mounted and rigged projector deployments where repeatable optical alignment is required. For projects that need a different coverage band, compare it against other lenses in the same Panasonic 3DLP lens family such as ET-D3LEW60, ET-D3LEW10, ET-D3LET30. Select the throw ratio that matches your projector-to-screen distance and screen width before specifying.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors is the ET-D3LES20 compatible with? It is designed for select Panasonic 3-chip DLP laser projectors. Confirm your exact projector model against Panasonic's current lens-compatibility chart before ordering, as compatibility varies by projector series.

Does this lens support motorized lens memory? Yes. The stepping motor and EEPROM allow motorized zoom, focus, and lens-shift, and the lens supports the projector's lens-memory presets for repeatable multi-screen setups.

Can I use it for edge-blending or multi-projector blends? Yes. Motorized control and lens memory make the ET-D3LES20 appropriate for edge-blended and stacked configurations on compatible Panasonic 3DLP projectors.

How is the lens installed? It mounts to the projector's bayonet lens interface and should be installed by a qualified AV integrator, particularly for ceiling-rigged or rack-adjacent projector mounts.

What warranty and support apply? The lens carries Panasonic's standard professional projection lens warranty; contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and integration support.
