Sharp NP53ZL – 0.86-1.25 Short-Throw Zoom Lens for PA1505/PA1705/XP...
Product Overview
The Sharp NP53ZL is a motorized short-throw zoom lens with a 0.86-1.25:1 throw ratio, compatible with the NP-PA1505UL, NP-PA1705UL, and XP-A201U-B professional installation projectors. This lens covers the upper end of the short-throw range, suited for mid-depth rooms where a standard-throw lens would require more projection distance than the installation geometry allows. Motorized zoom, focus, and lens shift provide complete remote optical adjustment after ceiling installation.
Product Description
The NP53ZL sits between the NP52ZL (0.63-0.85:1) and NP54ZL (1.24-2.01:1) in the NP5x lens series. Its 0.86-1.25:1 throw range covers a wider span of room depths than the shorter-throw options, making it a versatile choice for classrooms, conference rooms, and mid-size meeting spaces. Motorized lens shift enables off-axis projector placement with accurate optical image alignment, avoiding the resolution loss associated with electronic keystone correction. Compatibility with the XP-A201U-B in addition to the PA1505UL and PA1705UL makes the NP53ZL a practical option for integrators working across multiple Sharp professional projector platforms.
