The Panasonic ET-C1W500 1-Chip DLP Zoom Lens has a throw ratio of 0.94-1.39:1, putting it in the standard-throw category and making it a versatile choice for the most common venue configurations found in corporate AV, theatre and exhibition work. Like the rest of the C1 lens range, it is built for Panasonic’s PT-REQ and PT-REZ series 1-chip DLP laser projectors.

The lens provides powered lens shift of up to ±60% vertically and ±29% horizontally, giving installers flexibility to mount the projector away from the screen’s centreline while keeping the image square and correctly framed. At around 2.4kg, it shares its mount and control interface with the rest of the C1 zoom lens family for easy stock interchangeability.
