Description
The Sony VPLL-Z3032 is a genuine Sony projection lens for the VPL-F series installation projectors. It covers a throw ratio of 3.18:1 to 4.84:1, so the projector can be positioned at the distance the room actually allows rather than the distance a fixed lens would dictate.
Zoom and focus are powered, with up to 60% vertical and +/- 32% horizontal shift available. Lens shift lets the projector sit off the screen centre line - tucked above a ceiling void or behind a bulkhead - without resorting to keystone correction, which always costs resolution. This is the long end of the VPLL-Z30 family. It is the lens for a projector in a rear projection room, a balcony position or a bio-box - anywhere the throw distance is several times the screen width. Screen coverage runs from 40 to 600 inches.
Sony supplies its VPL installation projectors as a body plus a separately chosen lens, so the same chassis can be dropped into a lecture theatre, a boardroom or an atrium and still hit the screen exactly. Choosing the lens is therefore part of the room design, not an afterthought. If you are unsure which lens suits your throw distance and screen width, send us the room dimensions and we will work it through with you before you order.
Key features
Puts the projector in a projection room, on a balcony rail or at the back of a deep hall, well clear of the audience.
Alignment is done from the projector's own control system rather than at the lens.
Suited to large auditorium and house-of-worship screens as well as smaller rooms.
Shares the small, light body of the VPLL-Z3024, so it is easy to rig and easy to ship.
