The new Paladin lens system is truly a statement piece of design and technology. Applying both highly balanced internal color convergence correction and integrated focus-free astigmatism correction for all typical home theater throw distances, the Paladin delivers amazingly sharp optical clarity that supports well beyond 4K resolutions. Using Panamorph’s patented vertical compression technology to convert 16:9 projectors to full 2.4:1 UltraWide performance, the Paladin is specifically designed to let projectors operate at the higher range of their zoom settings to deliver the maximum brightness possible.
