Proprietary AR Coating for Exceptional Uniformity

Reflections from the lens surface and internal reflections can cause color irregularities and ghosting on the screen degrading color uniformity. The C1 Series employs a proprietary Anti-Reflection AR coating to prevent diffuse light reflection depositing a thin film on the lens surface to reduce color irregularities and ghosting. The coating is particularly important for maintaining color uniformity with ultra-short-throw lenses the ET-C1U100 leverages Panasonic’s accumulated expertise in AR coating development contributing to outstanding color uniformity.

Aspherical Lenses Superior Imaging Compact Design

The ET-C1U100 ET-C1U200¹ ET-C1W300 ET-C1W400 and ET-C1W500 feature aspherical glass lens elements. Aspherical glass achieves the same effect as multiple lens elements enabling high magnification power and reducing size and weight particularly for larger lenses like the ET-C1U100. Aspherical lens manufacturing demands extreme precision and expertise. Panasonic answers with accumulated know-how producing the ET-C1U100’s large-diameter elements at a state-of-the-art facility in Yamagata Japan to ensure spectacular visuals in an easy-to-handle form factor.

Enhanced Workflow Efficiency

Outstanding Flexibility with a Wider Shift Range

Enjoy an expanded range of powered lens shift adjustments via remote control and adapt projections to diverse production spaces. For example the ET-C1U100 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens boasts a significantly wider shift than the ET-DLE020 with a ±50 vertical and ±23 horizontal adjustment range. You can easily adjust the image position to suit your spatial design when the projector isn’t ideally situated in tight spaces.

Powered Peripheral Focus A First for Panasonic 1-Chip DLP™ Lenses

The C1 Series introduces powered peripheral focus¹ a first for Panasonic’s 1-Chip DLP™ projection lenses. Maintaining edge-to-edge focus is vital for immersive entertainment where large images are viewed at close range. Users can now adjust zoom² center focus peripheral focus¹ and lens shift via remote control or Smart Projector Control app³ eliminating the need for physical access to the projector in hard-to-reach locations. This streamlines operations and
