Panasonic ET-DLE170 1.7–2.4:1, zoom, WUXGA (16:10 aspect ratio) / 1.8–2.5:1, zoom, XGA (4:3 aspect ratio) / 1.8–2.5:1, zoom, WXGA (16:10 aspect ratio)

Product Overview

The Panasonic ET-DLE170 is an interchangeable 1.7–2.4:1 zoom lens for compatible Panasonic installation projectors. It lets integrators vary projection distance by changing focal length, so a fixed-mounted projector can hit a target image size from a range of throw distances. As a factory Panasonic optical assembly, this projector zoom lens matches the lens mount and optical engine of its supported PT-D and PT-R series projectors. It is a practical choice for fixed-installation projection where the mounting position is set but image size must be tuned on site.

Product Description

The ET-DLE170 covers a mid throw range, with a 1.7–2.4:1 throw ratio at WUXGA (16:10) and 1.8–2.5:1 at XGA (4:3) and WXGA (16:10), depending on the host projector. It uses an f/1.7–1.9 aperture and a 25.6–35.7mm focal length in a compact ø3.8 x 6.5-inch barrel weighing about 2 pounds, so it installs without adding significant load to a projector mount. Because the lens is interchangeable, AV designers can re-lens a projector for a new room rather than replacing the projector. For shorter throw distances on compatible projectors, compare the Panasonic ET-DLE105 and the short-throw Panasonic ET-DLE060. Always confirm the exact projector model against Panasonic's lens compatibility chart before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors does the ET-DLE170 fit? It is compatible with a range of Panasonic PT-D and PT-R series installation projectors. Confirm your exact projector model against Panasonic's current lens compatibility chart before ordering.

What throw ratio does it provide? 1.7–2.4:1 at WUXGA (16:10), and 1.8–2.5:1 at XGA (4:3) and WXGA (16:10), depending on the host projector's resolution.

Can it be installed in the field? Yes. It is an interchangeable lens that mounts into the projector's lens bayonet, allowing integrators to re-lens a projector for a new room geometry.

How do I choose between this and a shorter-throw lens? Base the choice on projector-to-screen distance and target image size. For shorter throw on compatible projectors, review the ET-DLE105 and ET-DLE060 linked above.

Is warranty and support available through Creation Networks? Yes. This is a genuine Panasonic optical accessory; contact Creation Networks for warranty terms, availability, and integration support.
