Christie 130-100102-XX Fixed Short-Throw Lens: Mirage WQ-L Compatibility

Christie Original Lens 130-100102-XX Fixed is an original optical accessory for Christie engineering projectors. It is a short-throw (Short Throw) lens with a 0.68:1 throw ratio. The official compatibility list covers 1 model; before installation, simply verify the projector model and panel size rather than relying on adapter rings. The value of an original lens lies not in the extra figures it adds to the specification table, but in the fact that it is factory-calibrated to the optical path and lens mount of that projector series: once installed, the image circle, edge illumination, and focus travel all match their design values, so there is no need to use keystone correction to make up for image-quality shortcomings.

1. Lens Specifications

The above specifications are subject to the manufacturer's specifications. For mechanical dimensions, flange distance, and lens mount type not shown in the specification table, please contact us with the projector model for verification. Placing an order based solely on a similar model carries the risk that the lens will not fit.

2. Calculating Installation Distance from Throw Ratio

The throw ratio is the ratio of installation distance to image width. This original lens has a fixed focal length (0.68:1), so the installation distance changes linearly with image size, with no adjustment margin. Accurate measurements are essential before installation.

The above distances are the clear distance from the front of the lens to the screen and do not account for ventilation and cabling space behind the projector. They are calculated for a 16:10 image; actual distances must be verified on site and in accordance with the manufacturer's manual.

3. Compatible Projector Models (1 Model)

The table below is taken from the official compatibility list. Brightness and resolution are populated from the model database; where this information is unavailable, “—” is shown rather than making assumptions.

For models not listed, send us photos of the projector nameplate and the current lens so we can verify compatibility. Platforms from the same generation often share the same mount, but ordering based on a similar model carries unnecessary risk.

Throw Ratios by Model Series

The rated throw ratio varies by model series when the same 130-100102-XX Fixed lens is used with the series listed below. Use the value corresponding to the actual projector series when selecting a lens.

4. Three Checks Before Replacement

• Check the projector's imaging chip and resolution. Original lenses are designed for a specific panel size. If the panel specifications differ, the image circle cannot cover the full image area, resulting in vignetting or edge light loss after installation.
• Calculate the installation distance first. This lens has a rated throw ratio of 0.68:1; use the table in Section 2 to calculate the required distance for your installation space. A fixed-focal-length lens offers no adjustment margin, and even a zoom lens requires 10–20 cm of clearance at both ends.
• Verify the lens mount and locking mechanism. The original lens is calibrated for the mount of that projector series and must audibly lock into place after installation. A skewed image or uneven edge focus is usually caused by the lock not being fully engaged, rather than by a problem with the lens itself.

If you are unsure, send us one photo each of the projector nameplate and the nameplate on the current lens. Verification against the actual hardware is the most reliable approach.
