What is a wide-fix short-throw lens, and when is a fixed throw ratio advantageous?

Fixed short-throw lenses eliminate zoom variability, simplifying calibration and ensuring rock-solid image stability for permanent installations where screen size and projector position are set.

How do fixed throw ratios of 0.81 XGA / 0.82 WXGA / 0.778 WUXGA enable precision placement?

Fixed ratios remove zoom drift and guesswork, ensuring repeatable, precise centering—ideal for installations where image position must remain locked and maintenance is minimized.

Why does the LS2ST3 include both vertical and horizontal lens shift?

Vertical and horizontal shift enable fine-tuning of image placement without moving the projector, accommodating architectural constraints and ensuring perfect centering in compact spaces.

Is the LS2ST3 suitable for large-venue applications despite being 'short-throw'?

Yes, while short-throw, the LS2ST3 serves large venues by enabling rear or side mounting in spaces with tight overhead clearance or architectural limitations.

What level of image quality does all-glass optics provide for fixed installations?

All-glass construction delivers aberration-free imagery essential for professional settings; the fixed design eliminates zoom-related optical variations, ensuring consistent sharpness.

Can facilities use the LS2ST3 across multiple resolution standards?

Yes, the LS2ST3 provides fixed throw ratios optimized for XGA, WXGA, and WUXGA resolutions, adapting to different institutional projector standards.

What are the delivery options and timelines for the LS2ST3?

Procure.ae provides the LS2ST3 across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Contact the team with your location for current availability.

Does Procure.ae support installation of fixed-lens short-throw systems with motorized shift?

Yes, Procure.ae coordinates installation, motorized shift calibration, and optical alignment across the UAE and GCC for fixed short-throw deployments.

What are the fixed throw ratios for different resolutions?

The LS2ST3 delivers fixed throw ratios of 0.81 (XGA), 0.82 (WXGA), and 0.778 (WUXGA) for precise, repeatable image placement.

What warranty applies to the motorized shift components?

Procure.ae will confirm warranty coverage for the LS2ST3, including motorized shift and optics, upon formal quote.

What is supplied with the LS2ST3 lens assembly?

The fixed short-throw lens with motorized vertical and horizontal shift is included; Procure.ae will detail any required mounting brackets, control cables, or power connectors.

BenQ LS2ST3 Wide-Fix Short Throw Projector Lens

Name: BenQ LS2ST3 Wide-Fix Short Throw Projector Lens
Brand: BenQ
SKU: LS2ST3

The BenQ LS2ST3 is a wide-fix short throw projector lens with fixed throw ratios of 0.81 (XGA), 0.82 (WXGA), and 0.778 (WUXGA), delivering precise image placement without zoom adjustment. It includes vertical and horizontal lens shift support and uses all-glass optics for aberration-free imagery across large venue applications.

Overview

The BenQ LS2ST3 is a wide-fix short throw lens that delivers fixed throw ratios across XGA, WXGA, and WUXGA resolutions, optimised for large venue BenQ projectors where a constant projection distance is maintained. Unlike zoom lenses, the fixed focal design maximises optical efficiency and minimises light loss. Vertical lens shift from -15% to +55% and horizontal shift from -5% to +5% provide alignment flexibility without repositioning the projector body.

FAQ

Why choose a fixed lens over a zoom lens?
Fixed lenses offer superior optical efficiency as they eliminate zoom mechanism components, resulting in brighter output and reduced light loss at a given throw distance.

Can the LS2ST3 be used in rooms where the projector cannot be centred on the screen?
Yes. The lens shift capability (vertical -15% to +55%, horizontal -5% to +5%) allows image repositioning without moving the projector, accommodating off-axis installations.
