Panasonic ET-EMW200 .48 – 0.55:1 Zoom lens for PT-MZ16K/MZ13K/MZ10K LCD laser projectors

Product Overview

The Panasonic ET-EMW200 is a short-throw projector zoom lens for the PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ13K, and PT-MZ10K large-venue LCD laser projectors. With a 0.48 to 0.55:1 throw ratio, it fills a large image from a short distance, making it the right optic for auditoriums, houses of worship, and other venues where the projector must mount close to the screen. As an interchangeable lens, it lets integrators tune projection geometry to the room rather than the room to the projector.

Product Description

This lens is engineered specifically for Panasonic's PT-MZ16KL, PT-MZ13KL, and PT-MZ10KL projectors and adjusts projection distance by varying focal length across a 10.8 to 12.52 mm range. The wide 0.48 to 0.55:1 throw ratio (in 16:10 or 16:9) supports large images from short throw distances, with a 0.58 to 0.66:1 ratio available in 4:3. An f/1.84 to 2.14 aperture maintains light transmission for the high-lumen MZ-series engines. For integrators specifying a lens against a fixed room geometry, the ET-EMW200 sits within a family of MZ-series optics: the longer-throw ET-EMW300, ET-EMW400, and ET-EMW500, plus the ultra-short-throw ET-EMU100 for zero-offset installs.

Key Features

• Short-Throw Zoom — A 0.48 to 0.55:1 throw ratio produces a large image from a short projection distance.
• MZ-Series Compatibility — Designed for PT-MZ16KL, PT-MZ13KL, and PT-MZ10KL LCD laser projectors.
• 10.8 to 12.52 mm Focal Length — Adjustable focal length lets you fine-tune projection distance to the room.
• f/1.84 to 2.14 Aperture — Maintains light transmission for the high-brightness MZ-series engines.
• Multiple Aspect Ratios — Supports 16:10 and 16:9 at 0.48 to 0.55:1 and 4:3 at 0.58 to 0.66:1.
• Interchangeable Design — Lets integrators match projection geometry to fixed room dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors accept the ET-EMW200? It is designed for the Panasonic PT-MZ16KL, PT-MZ13KL, and PT-MZ10KL LCD laser projectors. It is not compatible with other Panasonic projector series.

What image size can it produce at short distances? With a 0.48 to 0.55:1 throw ratio it fills a large image from close range. Run a throw-distance calculation against your target screen size and mounting depth to confirm fit.

How does it compare to the other MZ-series lenses? The ET-EMW200 is the short-throw zoom in the range. The ET-EMW300, ET-EMW400, and ET-EMW500 offer progressively longer throw ratios, and the ET-EMU100 is an ultra-short-throw, zero-offset option.

Can installers replace the lens in the field? Yes. The MZ-series uses interchangeable lenses so the optic can be matched to the room. Follow Panasonic's lens-installation and registration procedure for the projector.

What warranty applies? The lens carries the applicable Panasonic projector accessory warranty; contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage.
