About This Original Lens
Barco EN56 Wide Zoom Lens
The EN56 Wide Zoom is a Standard Throw lens manufactured by Barco as original equipment. Its optical structure, lens coatings, and housing tolerances are all matched to original machine standards, ensuring plug-and-play installation and stable imaging. For installation environments with limited projection distance (e.g., short-distance large images, ultra-short-throw wall-mounted setups), choosing the right throw ratio is more critical than opting for a generic lens.
This lens offers a throw ratio of 1.14-1.74:1. Throw ratio = projection distance ÷ image width: a smaller value means a larger image (ideal for short distances in small spaces), while a larger value requires a longer installation distance. Work backward from your installation distance and screen size to determine the required throw ratio range, then match it to this model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose between an original lens and a replacement lens?
A: Original lenses are manufactured by Barco, with optical parameters and housing tolerances calibrated to original machine standards, making them ideal for projects with strict requirements for OEM consistency. Zorsika replacement lenses are independently designed and manufactured to the same specifications, with throw ratio, image circle, and mount matched to the original, offering advantages in budget and lead time. Zorsika supplies both options, so choose based on your project requirements.
Q: How do I confirm this lens works with my projector?
A: Compatibility is determined by the lens mount and panel/chip size on the projector; the verified compatible models are listed in this article. Projectors of the same generation and brand often share the same mount, so if you are unsure, take a photo of the nameplate and send it to Zorsika technical support for confirmation—it is the safest approach.
Q: How do I choose the throw ratio?
A: Throw ratio = projection distance ÷ image width. A smaller value produces a larger image (short-throw/ultra-short-throw suits small spaces at close range), while a larger value requires a longer installation distance. Work backward from your installation distance and screen size to determine the required throw ratio range, then match it to this model's focal range.
Q: How can I be sure the EN56 Wide Zoom is genuine?
A: Zorsika supplies genuine products through OEM channels, complete with original packaging and traceable serial numbers; channel documentation can be requested for bulk projects to ensure the lens is not refurbished or a used pulled part.
Q: What should I pay attention to when replacing the lens?
A: Before removal, be sure to power off the projector and wait for the cooling fan to stop; hold the lens by the barrel without touching the glass, and use a blower to gently remove any dust; after installation, run a focus test before tightening the locking screws, and clean the mount and contacts as you go.
Q: How long is the lens warranty?
A: Zorsika offers a 12-month warranty on all projector lenses; for normal use and non-man-made damage (e.g., impact, water ingress, unauthorized disassembly), contact after-sales service directly for resolution. The warranty period is based on the shipping document date.
