Panasonic Launches ET-DLE030 Short Throw Lenses

News Image
Panasonic has announced the launch of the new ET-DLE030 short throw lenses for larger format single chip DLP projectors.
Prototype models were shown earlier this year at ISE 2013 and at Prolight + Sound shows.
The solution vertically redirects light cast from projectors at a distance of just 370mm from the projector.
The introduction of ET-DLE030 lens by Panasonic delimits what was before unachievable through a throw ratio of 0.38:1 - resulting in space saving by 60%1.
This means avoidance of having to throw light across, for example, a busy retail environment where objects or people can block projected images.
This applies to further verticals such as staging, museum, or transport where it may not be possible to suspend a projector mounting bracket or where there is insufficient space, either in front or behind the projector to throw the image to the required size.
Panasonic's new EL030 model can be used in both vertical and horizontal edge blending to make screens even larger, with the 1 chip DLP technology suitable for indoor spaces such as museum, theatres or stage backgrounds. Hartmut Kulessa, Panasonic, European Projector Marketing Manager, said: "Panasonic has already demonstrated some huge success stories in conventional projection mapping at some truly incredible events, take the Roger Waters 'The Wall' at Wembley Stadium for example, now with the arrival of the DLE030 lens, rental companies will be able to deliver similar effects for indoor events and using less space than before.
"They will have the benefit of massively reduced throw distance requirements with a reduction in costs associated with less rigging and a more compact overall setup.
"Geometric adjustment can also be used to create eye-catching applications on curved or uneven surfaces. For example, in a museum environment it could be possible to create a bended or curved picture, even when people are standing very close to the screen, no shadow is cast and whilst we have had ultra-short throw in projectors typically assigned for education, these new functions have never been available for short throw projection before. "It's not just museums though, it's especially important for system integrators who will start more applications with this lens in for example theme parks. It's also possible for video conferencing systems with very large screens using a rear projection screen and this technology is exclusive to Panasonic."
