Barco Genuine Lens R9803072 ILD Short Zoom is a factory-supplied optical accessory for Barco professional projectors. It is a short-throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.65-0.80:1. The factory compatibility list covers 9 models. Before installation, simply verify the projector model and panel size—no adapter rings are needed. The value of a genuine factory lens lies not in the additional rows of specifications, but in its factory calibration to the optical path and mount of the corresponding projector series. Once installed, image-circle coverage, edge illumination, and focus travel all meet the design specifications, with no need to use keystone correction to compensate for image quality.
1. Lens Specifications
| Brand | Barco (Barco) |
| Lens Model | R9803072 ILD Short Zoom |
| Throw Ratio | 0.65-0.80:1 |
| Product Type | Short Throw |
| Compatible Models | 9 models |

The above specifications are subject to the factory specifications. Mechanical dimensions, flange distance, and mount type are not shown in the specification table. Please verify them with us using the exact projector model, as ordering based solely on a similar model carries the risk of a lens that will not fit.
2. Converting Throw Ratio into Installation Distance
The throw ratio is the ratio of the installation distance to the image width. This genuine factory lens is a zoom lens with a throw ratio of 0.65-0.80:1. The same image size corresponds to a range of installation distances, and the lens can focus at any position within that range.
| Image Size | Image Width | Required Installation Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 100 inches | 2.15 m | approx. 1.40 – 1.72 m |
| 120 inches | 2.58 m | approx. 1.68 – 2.06 m |
| 150 inches | 3.22 m | approx. 2.10 – 2.58 m |
| 200 inches | 4.30 m | approx. 2.79 – 3.44 m |
These figures represent the clear distance from the front of the lens to the screen and do not include clearance for rear cooling and cabling. They are calculated for a 16:10 frame; actual values are subject to on-site measurements and the factory manual.
Image quality varies at the two ends of the zoom range: the image is brighter and the edges slightly softer at the short-distance end, while the edges are sharper and brightness slightly lower at the long-distance end. When site conditions allow, the middle of the range is recommended. After installation, find the sharpest position using the focus ring, then fine-tune the lens shift.
3. Compatible Models (9 Models)
The following table is taken from the factory compatibility list. Brightness and resolution are populated from the model database; unavailable values are marked “—” and are not estimated.
| Model | Brightness | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| I600-4K10 | 10000 lumens | 4K (3840 x 2160) |
| I600-4K15 | 15000 lumens | 4K (3840 x 2160) |
| I600-4K8 | 8000 lumens | 4K (3840 x 2160) |
| I65-4K10 | 10000 lumens | 1920x1200 |
| I65-4K13 | 125000 lumens | 1920x1200 |
| I65-4K16 | 15000 lumens | 1920x1200 |
| I65-W10 | 10000 lumens | 1920x1200 |
| I65-W13 | 12500 lumens | 1920x1200 |
| I65-W16 | 15000 lumens | 1920x1200 |
To determine whether a model outside the list is compatible, send us photos of the projector nameplate and the existing lens for verification. Platforms of the same generation often share the same mount, but the risk of ordering based solely on a similar model is not worth taking.
Throw Ratios by Model Series
The nominal throw ratio varies by series when the same R9803072 ILD Short Zoom lens is installed. Select the value based on the series of the actual projector.
| Model Series | Throw Ratio |
|---|---|
| — | 0.65-0.80:1 |
4. Three Checks Before Replacement
- Confirm the projector imaging chip and resolution. The factory 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. This lens has a nominal throw ratio of 0.65-0.80:1. Use the table in Section 2 to determine the distance for your site dimensions. A fixed-focus lens offers no adjustment margin, and even a zoom lens requires an additional 10–20 cm at each end.
- Verify the mount and locking mechanism. The factory lens is calibrated to the mount of the corresponding projector series. After installation, you must hear the lens click into the locked position. A skewed image or soft edges usually indicate that the lock is not fully engaged, 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 nameplate for the most reliable verification.
