Product Overview The Barco R98017191 is a non-motorized GLD zoom lens with a 1.43-2.12:1 throw ratio for the Barco F80 series and Medea projectors. It is the manual-adjust member of Barco's GLD lens line for the F-series single-chip DLP platform. Unlike the motorized GLD optics, this lens uses manual zoom and focus, making it a lower-cost choice for fixed installations where the image geometry is set once. This article number, R98017191, covers the 0.64" WQXGA configuration that also reads 1.35-2.00:1 on 0.67" WQXGA+ imagers. Product Description This lens is intended for permanent installations where the projector position and screen size do not change after commissioning, so motorized recall is not required. Integrators set zoom and focus manually during setup, then lock the geometry for the life of the install. As shown in the gallery images, the lens uses the GLD bayonet mount shared across the F-series lens family for tool-free mounting. It is designed for projectors including the Barco F90 series and F80 line, and it is the manual counterpart to the motorized GLD 1.43-2.12:1 lens.
