Barco EN47 Ultra Wide Fixed Short-Throw Projector Lens Guide: 16-Model Compatibility

Barco Original Lens EN47 Ultra Wide Fixed is an original optical accessory for Barco engineering projectors, featuring a short throw ratio of 0.65:1. Its factory compatibility list covers 16 models. Before installation, simply verify the projector model and panel size; no adapter ring workaround is needed. The value of an original lens lies not in extra figures in the specifications, but in its factory calibration to the optical path and mount of the corresponding projector series. Once installed, the image circle, edge illumination, and focus travel are all at their design values, eliminating the need to compensate for image quality with keystone correction.

1. Lens Specifications

Brand	Barco (Barco)
Lens Model	EN47 Ultra Wide Fixed
Throw Ratio	0.65:1
Product Type	Short Throw (Short Throw)
Compatible Models	16 units
Warranty	12 months; after-sales service is available for damage not caused by the user, based on the date shown on the dispatch invoice

These specifications are subject to the manufacturer's official specifications. For mechanical dimensions, flange distance, and mount type not listed in the specifications table, please contact us with the exact projector model. Placing an order solely because the model names are similar carries the risk of an installation mismatch.

2. Calculating Installation Distance from the Throw Ratio

The throw ratio is the ratio of the installation distance to the image width. This original lens has a fixed focal length (0.65:1), so the installation distance varies linearly with the image size, with no adjustment range. Accurate measurements are essential before installation.

Image Size	Image Width	Required Installation Distance
100 inches	2.15 m	approx. 1.40 m
120 inches	2.58 m	approx. 1.68 m
150 inches	3.22 m	approx. 2.10 m
200 inches	4.30 m	approx. 2.79 m

These figures represent the clear distance from the front face of the lens to the screen and do not include rear clearance for heat dissipation or cable connections. They are calculated for a 16:10 image; actual installation should follow on-site measurements and the manufacturer's manual.

3. Compatible Models (16 units)

The table below is taken from the factory compatibility list. Brightness and resolution values are populated from the model database; values that cannot be obtained are marked “—” and are not estimated.

Model	Brightness	Resolution

Loki	12000 lumens	3840x2160

To determine whether a model not listed above is compatible, send us photos of the projector nameplate and the existing lens for verification. Same-generation platforms often share mounts, but ordering based on a similar model is not worth the installation risk.

Throw Ratio by Model Series

The nominal throw ratio varies by series when the same EN47 Ultra Wide Fixed lens is used. Select the value based on the series of the actual projector.

Model Series	Throw Ratio
—	0.65:1

4. Three Checks Before Replacement

• Confirm the projector panel and resolution. The original lens is designed for a specific panel size. If the panel specifications differ, the image circle cannot cover the full image, resulting in vignetting or edge light loss after installation.
• Calculate the installation distance first. Use the table in Section 2 to match the lens's rated throw ratio of 0.65:1 to the dimensions of your site. A fixed-focus lens offers no adjustment range; even with a zoom lens, allow an additional 10–20 cm at both ends of the range.
• Check the mount and locking mechanism. The original lens is calibrated to the mount of the corresponding projector series, and you must hear the lock engage fully after installation. A skewed image or soft edges are usually caused by incomplete locking rather than a problem with the lens itself.

If you are unsure, send us one photo each of the projector nameplate and the existing lens label. Verification against the actual hardware is the safest option.
