f
Switching of the setting in the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu
→
[DIGITAL LINK IN]
→
[EDID SELECT] may be required depending on the
connected external device when DIGITAL LINK signal is input.
f
For the HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to the HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to the HDMI
standards is used, images may be interrupted or may not be projected.
f
The optional Digital Interface Box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G) and the optional DIGITAL LINK Switcher (Model No.: ET-YFB200G) do not
support the input and output of the 4K image signal.
f
The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1") for the signal with
resolution of 1 920 x 1 200 dots or less. For the signal with the resolution exceeding 1 920 x 1 200 dots, the maximum transmission distance
is 50 m (164'1"). It is possible to transmit up to 150 m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the long-reach communication
method. However, the signal that the projector can receive is only up to 1080/60p (1 920 x 1 080 dots, dot clock frequency 148.5 MHz)
for the long-reach communication method. If these distances are exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN
communication. Please note that Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. does not support the use of the projector outside the maximum transmission
distance. When connecting with the long reach, image signal or distance that can be transmitted may be restricted, depending on the
specification of the twisted-pair-cable transmitter.
f
For twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector, visit the following
website.
https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/
Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set by Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd., and not all the
operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective
manufacturers.
Connecting example when using the contrast synchronization function/shutter
synchronization function
In a case to construct a multi-display by linking projected images from multiple projectors, following functions can
be used by synchronizing multiple projectors using the <SERIAL/MULTI SYNC IN> terminal and the <SERIAL/
MULTI SYNC OUT> terminal.
f
Contrast synchronization function
A linked screen with balanced contrast can be displayed by sharing the brightness level of the image signal
being input to each projector.
To use this function, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] for each linked
projector as follows.
g
Set
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MAIN] only on one projector that is synchronized. Set [MODE] to [SUB] for all other projectors.
g
Set
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[CONTRAST SYNC] to [ON].
Make the menu setting identical for each linked projector either by setting [PICTURE] menu
→
[DYNAMIC
CONTRAST NX] to anything other than [OFF] or by setting [PICTURE] menu
→
[DYNAMIC CONTRAST] to
anything other than [OFF].
Set [DYNAMIC CONTRAST NX] to [OFF] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] to anything other than [OFF] when there
are projectors without [DYNAMIC CONTRAST NX] menu grouped into the linked projectors.
f
Shutter synchronization function
This is a function to synchronize the shutter operation of the specified projector to other projectors, and the
effect using the shutter function including the fade out/fade in operation can be synchronized.
To use this function, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] for each linked
projector as follows.
g
Set
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MAIN] only on one projector that becomes the synchronization source within the linked
projectors. Set [MODE] to [SUB] for all other projectors.
g
Set
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[SHUTTER SYNC] to [ON].
Make the menu setting identical for each linked projector either by setting [PICTURE] menu
→
[DYNAMIC
CONTRAST NX] to anything other than [OFF] or by setting [PICTURE] menu
→
[DYNAMIC CONTRAST] to
anything other than [OFF].
Set [DYNAMIC CONTRAST NX] to [OFF] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] to anything other than [OFF] when there
are projectors without [DYNAMIC CONTRAST NX] menu grouped into the linked projectors.
