Product Description
The Panasonic ET-ELU20 is a game-changer for high-end installations. It is an Ultra-Short-Throw (UST) Zoom Lens designed for Panasonic’s 3-LCD laser projectors (specifically the PT-MZ series).
Unlike standard lenses that require distance to create a large image, the ET-ELU20 allows you to project massive, high-resolution visuals from an incredibly short distance. This is the ultimate solution for environments where space is tight, or where you want to eliminate shadows caused by presenters walking in front of the beam.
Key Features
1. Extreme Short-Throw Performance
With an ultra-short throw ratio of approximately 0.330–0.353:1, this lens can project a 100-inch diagonal image from just a few feet away. It’s perfect for turning small rooms into immersive environments.
2. Zero-Offset Projection
One of the standout features of the ET-ELU20 is its zero-offset capability. This means the image starts exactly where the lens is positioned, making it ideal for floor-to-ceiling projections or installations in rooms with very low ceilings.
3. Motorized Zoom and Focus
Unlike many fixed-focal-length UST lenses, the ET-ELU20 offers a motorized zoom. This provides essential flexibility during setup, allowing you to fine-tune the image size to fit the screen perfectly without physically moving the projector.
4. Sharp, High-Contrast Glass
Designed to handle the high-output brightness of Panasonic’s LCD laser projectors, this lens uses specialized aspherical glass to minimize distortion and maintain a tack-sharp focus from the center to the very corners of the screen.
