Product Description
The Panasonic ET-ELW20 is a high-performance Short-Throw Zoom Lens designed to provide a wide-angle perspective without the extreme distortion of an ultra-short-throw lens.
Engineered for Panasonic’s 3-LCD projector lines (such as the PT-MZ and PT-EZ series), the ET-ELW20 is the ideal solution for mid-sized rooms where the projector must be placed relatively close to the screen. It allows for a large, immersive image in spaces where a standard lens would produce an image that is far too small.
Key Features
1. Wide-Angle Versatility
With a throw ratio of approximately 1.18–1.63:1, the ET-ELW20 allows you to project a large image from a short distance. This is perfect for meeting rooms or classrooms where space between the projector and the wall is limited.
2. Precision Motorized Zoom & Focus
The lens features full support for Power Zoom and Power Focus. This allows for effortless adjustments via the projector’s remote control, ensuring that your image is perfectly sized and sharp without the need for manual lens handling.
3. Superior Image Uniformity
Panasonic’s advanced optical glass minimizes peripheral brightness drop-off. Even at its widest setting, the ET-ELW20 delivers a bright, consistent image from the center to the edges, maintaining the high color accuracy of 3-LCD technology.
4. Flexible Installation
Because it is a zoom lens rather than a fixed "prime" lens, it offers a margin of error during installation. If the ceiling mount is slightly off-position, you can use the motorized zoom to perfectly align the image to the screen.
