Connecting
Before connecting
f
Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f
Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
f
Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g
When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
g
Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the projector or to the projector body. The longer
the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an
antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
g
When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a
straight manner.
f
Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied
with the device nor available as an option.
f
Install the optional Interface Board necessary for the video equipment to connect with the projector to the slot in
advance.
Requesting a qualified technician to install or remove the optional Interface Board is recommended. A
malfunction may occur due to static electricity. Consult your dealer.
For details on how to install the optional Interface Board, refer to “Installing the Interface Board (optional)”
(
x
page 287).
f
Some computer models or graphic cards are not compatible with the projector.
f
Connect using an extension device, etc., when installing the projector away from the video equipment. The
projector may not display the image properly when it is connected directly using a long cable.
f
For details of the types of video signals that can be used with the projector, refer to “List of compatible signals”
(
x
page 255).
Connecting example: AV equipment
For <SDI IN 1>/<SDI IN 2>/<SDI IN 3>/<SDI IN 4> terminals
Quad link HD-SDI signal or quad link 3G-SDI signal
4K image SDI output compatible digital input
recorder
Note
f
Use a 5C-FB or higher (such as 5C-FB, or 7C-FB) or a Belden 1694A or higher connection cable to properly transmit images. Use a
connection cable of 100 m (328'1") length or less.
f
Setting the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu
→
[SDI IN] is required depending on the connected external device or the input signal.
f
Setting the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu
→
[SDI IN]
→
[SDI LINK] is required when the dual link signal or the quad link signal is input.
f
To input the dual link signal, use the cable with same length and same type for connecting to the <SDI IN 1> terminal and the <SDI IN 2>
terminal, or the <SDI IN 3> terminal and the <SDI IN 4> terminal. The image may not be projected correctly when the difference of the cable
length is 4 m (13'1") or more.
f
To input the quad link signal, use the cable with same length and same type for connecting to each of <SDI IN 1>/<SDI IN 2>/<SDI IN
3>/<SDI IN 4> terminals. The image may not be projected correctly when the difference of the cable length is 4 m (13'1") or more.
