f
To input the dual link signals, the cables to connect to the <SDI IN 1>/<SDI IN 2> terminals should be the same length and the same type.
The image may not be displayed correctly when the difference of the cable length is 4 m (13'1") or more.
f
Directly connect the projector with the external device that will output the signal without going through a distributor, etc., when inputting dual
link signals. A phase difference is generated between the Link A signal and the Link B signal, and the image may not be projected correctly.
