The short-throw zoom lens R9862005, as an important accessory for Barco projection systems, embodies the perfect combination of optical design and practicality. Through precise control of the projection light path, it addresses the spatial challenges encountered in real-world applications, making professional-grade projection experiences more accessible.
Spatial limitations are often a major headache when installing and using projectors. Achieving a large projection image in a particularly confined space poses a significant challenge. Today, we introduce a powerful solution to this problem—the short-throw zoom lens R9862005 (1.16:1-1.49:1), which offers greater installation flexibility for a wide range of Barco projectors.
Key Features of the Lens
The short-throw zoom lens R9862005 boasts a zoom range of 1.16:1 to 1.49:1. This design enables it to project a large image over a short distance. Compared to standard lenses, it significantly reduces the throw distance, allowing the projector to be installed much closer to the screen.
This lens is specifically designed for users who need to achieve large images in limited spaces. It perfectly solves installation challenges in environments like meeting rooms, classrooms, and control rooms where space is restricted .

Technical Advantages and Application Value
Maximized Space Utilization
The short-throw characteristic of the R9862005 lens allows the projector to be installed close to the screen, avoiding the large throw distance required by traditional projectors. This advantage is particularly valuable in space-constrained environments such as small meeting rooms, classrooms, or retail display areas .
Enhanced Installation Flexibility
The zoom range of 1.16:1 to 1.49:1 allows installers to adjust the projector's position within a certain range without needing to change the lens. This flexibility greatly simplifies the installation and debugging process, reducing both time and costs .
Maintained Image Quality
Despite its short-throw design, this lens maintains the high optical quality synonymous with Barco lenses, ensuring sharpness and color consistency from the center to the edges of the projected image. Users do not have to compromise between image quality and ease of use .
Barco's projection systems are known for their performance. For instance, some UDM series models feature 3DLP technology for high brightness and resolution, along with wide color gamuts that exceed the Rec. 709 standard . The robust laser phosphor light source has a long lifespan, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership .
Recommended Application Scenarios
This short-throw zoom lens is particularly suitable for the following scenarios:
- •
Corporate Meeting Rooms: Business environments with limited space that require large images for presentations.
- •
Higher Education Classrooms: Teaching venues where space at the lectern is limited.
- •
Control Rooms: Monitoring environments that require multiple projectors to be installed compactly.
- •
Retail Displays: In-store product displays or shop window projections.
- •
Exhibition Spaces: Explanatory displays for exhibits in museums or galleries.
Selection Advice
If you are using or considering purchasing any of the compatible Barco projectors listed above and have limited installation space, the R9862005 short-throw zoom lens is an ideal choice. It can help you overcome spatial limitations and achieve the desired projection effect without sacrificing image quality.
Before selecting a lens, it is recommended to use Barco's official projection calculation tools to accurately determine the required throw distance based on your specific screen size and installation environment, ensuring this lens meets your precise needs .
