Meet the Optoma ProScene BX-CTA17f/2.1, the ultimate short throw lens engineered for professional Optoma ProAV projectors. Designed to maximize image size in tight spaces, this lens delivers crisp, vivid projections with reliable color fidelity across a range of environments—from high-traffic event venues to sophisticated control rooms. The BX-CTA17f/2.1 integrates seamlessly with Optoma’s ProAV projector lineup, including models like the ZU660, ZU750, ZU850, ZU860, and ZU1050, enabling installers to place projectors closer to the screen without compromising image quality. Whether you’re mounting in a ceiling cavity, a control booth, or a multi-purpose classroom, this lens helps you unlock dramatic large-screen visuals while maintaining precise alignment and brightness. With its robust build and industry-friendly specifications, the BX-CTA17f/2.1 is a dependable choice for systems that demand consistent performance, easy servicing, and minimal setup time.

  • Designed for tight spaces and large images: The BX-CTA17f/2.1 delivers exceptional short-throw capabilities, allowing you to achieve a generous screen size from shorter viewing distances. This makes it ideal for venues where wall space is at a premium or where mounting from the back of the room is impractical, ensuring a dominating visual presence without crowding the room.
  • Wide compatibility with Optoma ProAV projectors: Built to work flawlessly with Optoma ProAV projectors, including ZU660, ZU750, ZU850, ZU860, and ZU1050, the BX-CTA17f/2.1 enables streamlined integration into existing ProAV ecosystems. This compatibility helps reduce configuration time and ensures dependable overlap with your projector’s optical system.
  • Consistent image quality for professional environments: The optical design of this short throw lens is optimized for sharp edges, precise color reproduction, and stable brightness across a wide field. In corporate briefings, classrooms, and performance spaces, you’ll notice clearer text, crisper graphics, and faithful color rendering that remains reliable from edge to edge—even with varying ambient light.
  • Professional build for durable, long-term use: Engineered for frequent installation and maintenance cycles, the BX-CTA17f/2.1 features a rugged housing and precision alignment mechanisms. This makes it well suited for ceiling-mount installations, fixed staging setups, and environments where routine lens swaps or recalibrations are part of the operational routine.
  • Seamless integration with existing projection systems: The lens is designed to pair with standard Optoma ProAV lens assemblies, facilitating straightforward mounting, alignment, and calibration. Its plug-and-play potential helps technicians accelerate installations, reduce on-site adjustments, and deliver a consistent, high-quality presentation experience for end users.

How to install Optoma ProScene BX-CTA17f/2.1

  • Power down all equipment: Before beginning installation, turn off and unplug the projector and any related equipment. Disconnect power and ensure the workspace is safe for handling optics and mounting hardware.

  • Fine-tuning and verification: Adjust throw distance as needed to achieve your target image size. Confirm uniform brightness and color fidelity across the screen, and re-check alignment after any environmental changes (room layout, screen position, or mounting shifts).

Frequently asked questions

  • What projectors is the BX-CTA17f/2.1 compatible with? It is designed for Optoma ProAV projectors, including the ZU660, ZU750, ZU850, ZU860, and ZU1050 series, and is intended to work with corresponding ProAV lens mounts.
  • What is a short throw lens, and why use one? A short throw lens enables a large projected image from a short distance to the screen. This is ideal for rooms with limited depth or for setups where projector placement must be close to the audience, reducing shadows, glare, and the need for long cable runs.
  • How do I install the BX-CTA17f/2.1? Installation involves mounting the lens to the projector’s lens mount, securing it with screws, powering on to perform alignment, and fine-tuning focus and image size using the projector’s built-in settings. Always follow the projector and lens manuals for precise steps and safety considerations.
  • Will this lens affect image brightness or color? Optical design aims to preserve brightness and color fidelity across the projected image. In real-world use, results depend on lamp brightness, screen material, ambient lighting, and projector calibration.
  • Do I need special tools or training to install this lens? Basic tools (such as a screwdriver appropriate to the mounting screws) and standard installation practices are usually sufficient. If you’re unfamiliar with ProAV lens mounting, consult a qualified technician or the installer’s guide for your projector model.

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters. "Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus. "Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson. Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping. Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor." Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak. Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.

An enjoyable Simpson Comic
Format: Paperback
Now this is a fun book. It largely uses the same tv formula of irreverent humor to poke fun at the classics. The Simpsons and their extended family in Springfield play all the roles to perfection. The only thing that stops me from giving this a 5 star rating is that there are too many stories and they all seem slightly short and episodic.

A great way to introduce the classics to your kid
Format: Paperback
I mean it. It's very funny, yet introduces a number of important stories and characters from greek mythology and the Bible right though to Shakespeare. Will be funnier when my son reads the actual stories these are based on. A whole lotta compare and contrast will ensue, I imagine. I think it will pique his interest in the classics.
