Panasonic ET-DLE105 1.0–1.3:1, zoom, WUXGA (16:10 aspect ratio) / 0.9–1.3:1, zoom, XGA (4:3 aspect ratio) / 1.1–1.5:1, zoom, WXGA (16:10 aspect ratio)

Product Overview

The Panasonic ET-DLE105 is a standard-throw projector zoom lens for compatible Panasonic 3-chip DLP installation projectors, covering a 0.99-1.32:1 throw ratio in WUXGA. It lets AV integrators set projection distance to fit a specific screen size in conference rooms, auditoriums, and houses of worship without relocating the projector. As a powered, lens-shift-compatible accessory, it suits permanent ceiling and rear-projection installs where image geometry must be set precisely during commissioning. This is a model-specific lens, so compatibility should be confirmed against the projector chassis before ordering.

Product Description

The ET-DLE105 varies projection distance by changing focal length across a 14.7-19.7mm range at an f/1.85-2.35 aperture, giving a 0.99-1.32:1 throw in WUXGA (with wider ratios in XGA and WXGA modes). It is designed for Panasonic 3-chip DLP installation projectors including the PT-RZ970, PT-RZ770, PT-RZ660, PT-DZ870, PT-DZ780, and PT-DW830 families, among others. In a commercial AV deployment it is selected during system design to match a fixed screen width at a known mount position, then fine-tuned with the projector's lens-shift and geometry controls. For longer throw distances on the same projector platforms, compare the ET-DLE170; for short-throw and ultra-short-throw needs, see the ET-DLE060 and ET-DLE035.

Key Features

• Standard Throw Range — A 0.99-1.32:1 throw ratio in WUXGA fits typical mid-room screen-to-mount distances.
• Optical Zoom Flexibility — 14.7-19.7mm focal length lets installers size the image without moving the projector.
• Multi-Resolution Support — Operates across WUXGA, WXGA, and XGA aspect modes on compatible chassis.
• Lens-Shift Compatible — Works with the host projector's lens-shift and geometry tools for precise alignment.
• Broad 3-Chip DLP Compatibility — Supported across multiple Panasonic installation projector families.
• Install-Grade Build — Compact 2.6 lb lens body suited to permanent ceiling and rear-projection mounts.

Typical Applications

• Conference Room — Standard throw matches common mid-size room screen distances.
• Auditorium — Sizes a large fixed screen from a mid-hall projector position.
• House of Worship — Sets image width for sanctuary screens during install.
• Multi-Purpose Room — Adapts a shared projector to a fixed screen layout.
• Boardroom — Precise sizing for a dedicated executive presentation screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors is the ET-DLE105 compatible with?
It is designed for Panasonic 3-chip DLP installation projectors including the PT-RZ970, PT-RZ770, PT-RZ660, PT-DZ870, PT-DZ780, and PT-DW830 families. Confirm your exact chassis against Panasonic's current lens compatibility chart before ordering.

What screen size will it produce?
Image size depends on throw distance at the 0.99-1.32:1 ratio. Calculate screen width against your planned mount-to-screen distance during system design.

Does it work with the projector's lens shift?
Yes. It is intended to be used with the host projector's lens-shift and geometry-correction features for final image alignment during commissioning.

Is this lens cross-compatible with other brands?
No. It is a Panasonic model-specific lens and is not interchangeable with non-Panasonic projectors.
