Frequently asked questions

  • What projectors is the BX-CTA17f/2.1 compatible with? It is designed for Optoma ProAV projectors, including the ZU660, ZU750, ZU850, ZU860, and ZU1050 series, and is intended to work with corresponding ProAV lens mounts.
  • What is a short throw lens, and why use one? A short throw lens enables a large projected image from a short distance to the screen. This is ideal for rooms with limited depth or for setups where projector placement must be close to the audience, reducing shadows, glare, and the need for long cable runs.
  • How do I install the BX-CTA17f/2.1? Installation involves mounting the lens to the projector’s lens mount, securing it with screws, powering on to perform alignment, and fine-tuning focus and image size using the projector’s built-in settings. Always follow the projector and lens manuals for precise steps and safety considerations.
  • Will this lens affect image brightness or color? Optical design aims to preserve brightness and color fidelity across the projected image. In real-world use, results depend on lamp brightness, screen material, ambient lighting, and projector calibration.
  • Do I need special tools or training to install this lens? Basic tools (such as a screwdriver appropriate to the mounting screws) and standard installation practices are usually sufficient. If you’re unfamiliar with ProAV lens mounting, consult a qualified technician or the installer’s guide for your projector model.
