Projection and lenses
Christie HS: identifying a lens and planning projection
Start with a photo to identify the Christie HS lens and the projector you want to use it with. The exact reference, throw ratio, and compatibility must be verified before choosing the combination.
Identification and scope
- Manufacturer or brand
- Christie
- Equipment designation
- Christie HS-series lens
- Location
- Ask about availability and location
- Availability for the project
- To be confirmed for the requested date and scope
- Configuration or function
- HS-series lens; throw ratio to be verified from the exact reference.
The HS designation is not enough to confirm throw ratio or compatibility with a specific projector. Check the lens part number and documentation for the combination before defining the setup.
What to send to identify the lens
- Projector and lens references, actual distance, image size and projection surface.
- Signal resolution and frequency, geometry and venue lighting conditions.
Share a legible photo of the lens identification and the projector reference, or the manual you have. Include the part number if it is readable. Links to other Christie equipment offer related comparisons: check their references before applying data from another lens, including a UST lens.
Record the available distance, desired image size and projection location conditions. Once the lens and projector are identified, framing, mounting and manufacturer restrictions can be reviewed and an image test agreed before the event.
Topics to discuss
- Lens selection and distance
- Signal and format
- Image geometry
- Visibility at the venue
Before applying settings, identify the complete equipment variant and consult its manual.
