Navitar delivers long throw lenses for Optoma's ProA/V projectors

April 29, 2019

Optoma and Navitar have launched two interchangeable lenses compatible with Optoma's ProScene projector models. Navitar's NuView 578MCZ500 and 578MCZ087 provide more versatile options for ProA/V environments, according to a press release.

The 578MCZ500 offers a long throw ratio of 4.85 to 8.66:1 and the 578MCZ087 has a throw ratio of 9.15 to 15.24:1. Both lenses are compatible with Optoma's ZU660, ZU750, ZU850 and ZU1050 ProScene projectors.

"Our ProA/V customers were looking for more flexibility in projector placement for their large venue installations," Brian Soto, head of product management, Optoma Technology, Inc., said in the release. "With throw ratios up to 15.24:1, Navitar's extra-long throw NuView lenses address this problem by allowing projectors to be placed more than 100 feet from a projection surface while ensuring image fidelity."
