71English■ DIGITAL LINK Terminal connectionA twisted pair cable transmitter, such as the Panasonicdevice that supports DIGITAL LINK output (ET-YFB100G, ET-YFB200G) uses twisted pair cables totransmit inputted video and audio signals, and thesedigital signals can be input to the Display via theDIGITAL LINK terminal.DIGITAL LINKLANDisplay (Back of the unit)PCLAN TerminalLAN cable (commercially available)Example: Panasonic ET-YFB100GHub or broadband routerNote● When using a DIGITAL LINK connection, set eachitem in [Network settings]. (see page 54)Precautions for use while connecting with a twistedpair cable transmitterAbout installation / connection● Ask the dealer or a qualified technician to carry outthe cable wiring work for DIGITAL LINK connections.Insufficient wiring work may cause the inability toapply the cable transmission characteristics andcropped or fuzzy images and sounds.● The transmission distance between the twisted paircable transmitter and the device is normally up to 100meters. When the transmitter supports [Long reach]communication method, the transmittable distance isup to 150 m. Please note that if exceeding the limit,video or audio may be interrupted, or malfunction maybe caused during LAN communication. Furthermore,when connecting using [Long reach] communicationmethod, depending on the specification of thetransmitters, transmittable video signals or thedistance may be limited.● Do not use a hub between the twisted pair cabletransmitter and the device.● If possible, lay the cable extended and not coiled inorder to minimize both external and internal noise.● Lay out cables of the twist pair cable transmitter andthis product away from other cables, especially fromthe power supply cable.● When laying multiple cables, keep them together asclose as possible running parallelly and not bundled.● After laying the cable(s), check that the signal qualityin [DIGITAL LINK status] is -12 dB or below.About Twisted pair cables● Between the twisted pair cable transmitter andthe device, use a LAN cable that conforms to thefollowing conditions.• It meets or exceeds CAT5e standards• It is a straight cable• It is a shielded cable (with a connector)• It is a solid cable● When laying the cable(s), use an instrument such asa cable tester or cable analyser and check whetherthe cable characteristics are CAT5e or above. Whenusing a relay connector along the path, also includethis in the measurements.● Do not pull cables hard. Also, avoid bending or foldingthem forcefully.Other● This device is compatible with Panasonic devices thatsupport DIGITAL LINK output (ET-YFB100G, ET-YFB200G). For the twisted pair cable transmitter ofother manufacturers, see the web site:http://panasonic.net/prodisplays/support/digitallink.html● Panasonic has tested other manufacturers’ devicesaccording to our check items. This will not guaranteeall the operations. For operation and performancedefects caused by other manufacturers’ devices,contact each manufacturer.
