f
After laying the cables, go to the [NETWORK] menu
→
[DIGITAL LINK STATUS] and confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] is
displayed in green which indicates normal quality. (
Note
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 projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI).
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 video 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. 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. For the signal with the resolution exceeding 1 920 x 1 200 dots, the
maximum transmission distance will be 50 m (164'1"). If these distances are exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur
in LAN communication. Please note that Panasonic does not support the use of the projector outside the maximum transmission distance.
When connecting with the long reach, video 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 Panasonic
website (https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set
by Panasonic Corporation, 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 <MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC IN> terminal and the <MULTI
PROJECTOR SYNC OUT> terminal.
f
Contrast synchronization function
A linked screen with balanced contrast can be displayed by sharing the brightness level of the video signal
being input to each projector.
To use this function, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] for each
synchronized projector as follows.
g
Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MASTER] only on one projector that is synchronized. Set [MODE] to [SLAVE] for all other
projectors.
g
Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[CONTRAST SYNC] to [ON].
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 in/fade out operation can be synchronized.
To use this function, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] for each
synchronized projector as follows.
g
Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MASTER] only on one projector that becomes the synchronization source within the linked
projectors. Set [MODE] to [SLAVE] for all other projectors.
g
Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
→
[SHUTTER SYNC] to [ON].
