Connecting to a twisted-pair-cable transmitter

The projector has a function that can receive Ethernet signals from a twisted-pair-cable transmitter together with video and audio signals via a LAN cable.

Connect a LAN cable to the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal of the projector. (x pages 16, 21)

ff For the LAN cable between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:

gg Compatible with CAT5e or higher gg Shielded type (including connectors) gg Straight-through

gg Single wire

ff The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1"). If this distance is exceeded, image and sound may be disrupted and may cause a malfunction in LAN communication.

ff When laying cables, 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.

ff Do not use a hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector. ff Do not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.

ff To reduce noise, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector without any loops as much as possible before setting them up and using them.

ff Lay the cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables. ff When installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.

ff After laying the cables, confirm that the [SIGNAL QUALITY] value in the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed in green to indicate normal quality. (x page 89)

ff With some exceptions, operation with twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other companies is not guaranteed. For support of devices of other companies, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/).
