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. (x page 153)
Note
f Switching of the setting in the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu → [DIGITAL LINK 输入] → [EDID SELECT] may be required depending on the
connected external device when DIGITAL LINK signal is input.
f For the HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to the HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to the HDMI
standards is used, images may be interrupted or may not be projected.
f The projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI) and HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
f The optional Digital Interface Box (Model No.: ET-YFB100C) does not support the input and output of the 4K video signal.
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. Please note that Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. does not support the use of the projector outside the maximum transmission
distance. When connecting with the long reach, video signal or distance that can be transmitted may be restricted, depending on the
specification of the twisted-pair-cable transmitter.
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.
Connecting example when using the contrast synchronization function/shutter
synchronization function
In a case to construct a multi-display by linking projected images from multiple projectors, following functions can
be used by synchronizing multiple projectors using the <串口/多台投影机同步输入> terminal and the <串口/多台投
影机同步输出> terminal.
f Contrast synchronization function
A linked screen with balanced contrast can be displayed by sharing the brightness level of the video signal
being input to each projector.
To use this function, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] for each
synchronized projector as follows.
g Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] → [MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MAIN] only on one projector that is synchronized. Set [MODE] to [SUB] for all other projectors.
g Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] → [CONTRAST SYNC] to [ON].
f Shutter synchronization function
This is a function to synchronize the shutter operation of the specified projector to other projectors, and the
effect using the shutter function including the fade out/fade in operation can be synchronized.
To use this function, set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] for each
synchronized projector as follows.
g Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] → [MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MAIN] only on one projector that becomes the synchronization source within the linked
projectors. Set [MODE] to [SUB] for all other projectors.
g Set [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] → [SHUTTER SYNC] to [ON].
