Example of network connections via a twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Computer
LAN cable (straight)
Attention
f When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, the network connection must be made indoors.
Note
f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g Conforming to CAT5e or higher standards
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 the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, confirm that cable characteristics are compatible with
CAT5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f To transmit the Ethernet and serial control signals using the <DIGITAL LINK> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [NETWORK
CONTROL] → [TYPE SELECT] to [DIGITAL LINK] or [LAN & DIGITAL LINK].
f To transmit the Ethernet signal using the <局域网> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [NETWORK CONTROL] → [TYPE SELECT] to
[LAN] or [LAN & DIGITAL LINK].
f The <DIGITAL LINK> terminal and the <局域网> terminal are connected inside of the projector when the [NETWORK] menu → [NETWORK
CONTROL] → [TYPE SELECT] is set to [LAN & DIGITAL LINK]. Do not directly connect the <DIGITAL LINK> terminal and the <局域网>
terminal using a LAN cable. Construct the system so that it is not connected to the same network via the peripherals such as the hub or the
twisted-pair-cable transmitter.
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 the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f When laying 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 transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector, visit the website
(https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set by
Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd., and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices
of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
Setting the projector
1)
Connect the projector to a computer using a LAN cable.
2)
Turn on the power of the projector.
3)
Press the <菜单> button to open the [NETWORK] menu from the main menu.
f The [NETWORK] screen is displayed.
