Expand Your Creative Vision with the C1 Series
As a co-creative technology partner collaborating with the world’s top experiential design firms Panasonic Connect understands the need for visual products that enhance the quality of immersive experiences while streamlining workflow and resource management. Answering this demand we developed the C1 Series lenses for our PT-REQ15 Series PT-REZ15 Series and future 1-Chip DLP™ projectors. Explore the potential of these advanced projectors with unmatched lens performance and versatility. 

Bring Out the Best in Your Visuals

Panasonic’s UED Glass Delivers Flawless Image Quality

Panasonic’s C1 Series utilizes precision-ground Ultra Extra-low Dispersion UED glass lens elements¹ to minimize light scattering a common cause of flare and color blur. The lenses produce sharp uniform visuals with realistic contrast and color performance.

Dramatically Improved Native Contrast Performance

Precision UED glass lens elements¹ improve native contrast performance by as much as 16² over equivalent lenses in the DLE Series. Combined with the projector’s evolved Dynamic Contrast technology this enhancement ensures that high-quality content is faithfully reproduced drawing guests deeper into your experience.

Proprietary AR Coating for Exceptional Uniformity

Reflections from the lens surface and internal reflections can cause color irregularities and ghosting on the screen degrading color uniformity. The C1 Series employs a proprietary Anti-Reflection AR coating to prevent diffuse light reflection depositing a thin film on the lens surface to reduce color irregularities and ghosting. The coating is particularly important for maintaining color uniformity with ultra-short-throw lenses the ET-C1U100 leverages Panasonic’s accumulated expertise in AR coating development contributing to outstanding color uniformity.

Aspherical Lenses Superior Imaging Compact Design

The ET-C1U100 ET-C1U200¹ ET-C1W300 ET-C1W400 and ET-C1W500 feature aspherical glass lens elements. Aspherical glass achieves the same effect as multiple lens elements enabling high magnification power and reducing size and weight particularly for larger lenses like the ET-C1U100. Aspherical lens manufacturing demands extreme precision and expertise. Panasonic answers with accumulated know-how producing the ET-C1U100’s large-diameter elements at a state-of-the-art facility in Yamagata Japan to ensure spectacular visuals in an easy-to-handle form factor.

1 ET-C1U200 is a fixed-focus lens and does not support zoom.

Enhanced Workflow Efficiency

Outstanding Flexibility with a Wider Shift Range

Enjoy an expanded range of powered lens shift adjustments via remote control and adapt projections to diverse production spaces. For example the ET-C1U100 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens boasts a significantly wider shift than the ET-DLE020 with a ±50 vertical and ±23 horizontal adjustment range. You can easily adjust the image position to suit your spatial design when the projector isn’t ideally situated in tight spaces.

Powered Peripheral Focus A First for Panasonic 1-Chip DLP™ Lenses
