WD482 Projector Lens 0.35:1 for Barco G62‑W14, G62‑W11, G60‑W7, G50‑W6, G62‑W9, G50‑W8, G50‑W7

WD482 is a short-throw lens for 0.65/0.66/0.67 panels (Barco), with a 0.35:1 throw ratio. It is compatible with 7 projector models across 2 model series. This article presents the lens specifications, installation distance, model compatibility list, and replacement considerations in one place.

1. Lens Specifications

2. Installation Distance Calculated from Throw Ratio

The throw ratio is the ratio of the installation distance to the image width. This is a fixed-focal-length lens (0.35:1), so the installation distance varies linearly with image size, with no adjustment margin. Accurate measurements are essential before installation.

The distances above are clear distances from the front of the lens to the screen and do not account for clearance behind the projector for heat dissipation and cabling. They are calculated for a 16:10 image; actual values are subject to on-site measurements and the manual.

3. Compatible Models (7 Models, Barco)

The table below is ordered from newest to oldest by model production date and lists each model's resolution, brightness, and zoom ratio for the factory-installed lens, making it easy to identify the right option for your project.

The zoom ratio is the zoom factor of the model's factory-installed standard lens (upper ÷ lower limits of the original throw ratio range), not the zoom range of the lens featured in this article.

Common Characteristics of These Models

The factory-installed standard lenses for these 7 models typically have throw ratios within 1.22-1.52：1. The 0.35:1 ratio of the WD482 model featured in this article effectively adjusts the focal-length range, allowing different image sizes at the same projection distance—this is the direct reason for replacing the lens. It also retains full lens-shift capability, so the image can still be aligned after the focal-length adjustment.

4. Three Checks Before Replacement

• Confirm that the panel and resolution match.This model is designed for a 0.67-inch panel. Projectors with a different panel size or resolution may show differences in projection performance; the safest approach is to check the projector nameplate before installation.
• Check the interface and locking mechanism.Interfaces on the same-generation platform are generally compatible, but the locking-tab position varies between generations. If the image is skewed or the edges look soft after installation, the lock is usually not fully engaged; this is not a problem with the lens itself.
• A fixed focal length provides no zoom adjustment.Image size can only be changed by moving the projector. The site dimensions must be measured accurately first, with an additional 10–20 cm allowed at each end.

For models not included in the list, the safest option is to send us the projector nameplate and a photo of the original lens for verification—platforms of the same generation often share the same interface, but ordering based solely on a similar model designation is not worth the risk.
