Twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Attention
f
When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, cabling must be made indoors.
Note
f
For the LAN cable between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g
Compatible with CAT5e or higher
g
Shielded type (including connectors)
g
Straight-through
g
Single wire
g
Diameter of the cable core is same or larger than AWG24 (AWG24, AWG23, etc.)
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.
f
When laying cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, check that cable characteristics are compatible with CAT5e
or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When using a relay connector midway, include it in the measurement.
f
Do not use a hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f
Do not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
f
To reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector
without any loops.
f
Lay the cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f
When installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
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.
f
For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the DIGITAL LINK compatible
projector, refer to 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.
Projector settings
1) Connect the projector to a computer using a LAN cable.
2) Turn on the power of the projector.
3)
Select the [NETWORK] menu →
[WIRED LAN] from the main menu and press the <ENTER> button.
4) Perform the detailed setting of [WIRED LAN].
f
For details, Refer to “[WIRED LAN]” (

page 96).
Note
f
To connect to an existing network, perform after consulting your network administrator.
