*1 Communication via a twisted-pair-cable transmitter is not available. Connect the projector to the network directly.
Note
f The maximum transmission distance when connected with the long-reach communication method is 150 m (492'2"). In this case, 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).
f When the communication method of the twist-pair-cable transmitter is set to long reach, the projector will connect with long-reach
communication method when [DIGITAL LINK MODE] is set to [AUTO]. To connect with the optional DIGITAL LINK Switcher (Model No.:
ET-YFB200G) with the long-reach communication method, set [DIGITAL LINK MODE] to [LONG REACH].
f Connection will not be made correctly if the twist-pair-cable transmitter is not supporting the long-reach communication method even if
[DIGITAL LINK MODE] is set to [LONG REACH].

Either [NO LINK], [DIGITAL LINK], [LONG REACH], or [ETHERNET] is displayed.
Either [PROTECTED], [NONE], or [―] is displayed.
[SIGNAL QUALITY] is a numerical value of the amount of error, and the display color changes to
green, yellow, or red depending on that value.
Check the signal quality level while receiving a signal from the twisted-pair-cable transmitter.
f [MAX]/[MIN]: Maximum/minimum value of the amount of error
f Green (-12 dB or lower) → normal signal quality level.
f Yellow (-11 to -8 dB) → caution level that noise may appear on the screen.
f Red (-7 dB or higher) → abnormal level with interrupted synchronization and receiving not
possible.
