The FL-L1700U is the dual-colour laser step in the L Series: 17,000 ANSI lumens, with a 16,000 lumen minimum, driving an RGB three-colour phosphor wheel and a colour wheel from a blue and red (B+R) dual-colour laser light source. That change expands colour coverage to more than 115% of REC.709, while the chassis stays at 600 x 590 x 210 mm and 35 kg on a 1,200 W draw. Dynamic contrast is 5,000,000:1 and JBMA uniformity is above 90% across the 0.8 inch DMD at native WUXGA 1920x1200 in 16:10. The connection set remains the complete broadcast and staging package: 3G-SDI, LC optical fibre, 500 m HDBaseT, DVI-I, DisplayPort and two HDMI 2.0 inputs.
Where the entry model uses a single blue laser, the FL-L1700U adds a dedicated red laser diode bank (B+R). Red is traditionally the difficult primary in phosphor-wheel projectors; adding native red laser light pushes colour reproduction past 115% of the REC.709 standard. For broadcast feeds, live theatre skin tones, corporate brand identities and museum exhibits, saturated colours remain rich even at 17,000 ANSI lumens, without losing peak white.
The standard 1.19-2.15:1 lens covers the vast majority of auditorium throws with its 1.6x zoom. The 0.52:1 and 0.56:1 short-throw options allow large pictures with the projector close to the screen wall, while the 4.4-7.0:1 and 4.7-7.9:1 telephoto options shoot across vast halls and arenas. All lenses fit the same bayonet mount with full motorised focus, zoom and shift. Send the screen width and throw distance to confirm the right optic before dispatch.
The I/O layout handles direct feeds from professional production hardware without outboard converters. 3G-SDI accepts camera and switcher feeds directly. The LC optical fibre terminal transmits uncompressed video over extreme distances from remote server rooms, while HDBaseT handles combined video and control signals over Cat cabling up to 500 metres. Dedicated DVI-I and DisplayPort ports connect installed media servers, leaving the two HDMI 2.0 inputs open for local presentation laptops. Auxiliary outputs include 3D SYNC, VGA, analog audio, RS232 and RJ45 LAN.
Rated at 1,200 W (±10%) in high brightness mode and under 0.5 W on standby, the unit draws only 40 W more than the 15,000 lumen model despite the dual laser engine and extra 2,000 lumens. Laser lifespan is rated at 15,000 hours in standard mode and 20,000 hours in eco mode. The 600 x 590 x 210 mm chassis weighs 35 kg in a coated plastic and sheet-metal housing. The centred lens layout aligns directly with the screen centre line for predictable rigging.
