Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use

DIGITAL LINK

“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology to transmit the video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals using a twisted

pair cable by adding unique functions by Panasonic to the HDBaseTTM communication standard formulated by

HDBaseT Alliance. This device is used by connecting to the DIGITAL LINK compatible display (projector or at

panel display) or the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers based on the HDBaseTTM standard

(receivers such as the “XTP Receiver” of Extron Electronics). This device also supports the “long reach” communication method. “Long reach” is a communication method to

extend the transmission distance to the device that is connected with the DIGITAL LINK connection. The normal

transmission distance with the DIGITAL LINK connection is maximum 100 m (328'1"), but when the display connected with DIGITAL LINK connection is compatible with the “long reach” communication, the transmission distance will be maximum 150 m (492'1"). However, the image that can be transmitted is restricted to resolution of 1080/60p (dot clock 148.5 MHz) or less.

For information about the DIGITAL LINK compatible display, the twisted-pair-cable transmitters (receivers) of other manufacturers that the operation has been veried with this device, and the twisted-pair-cable transmitters (receivers) of other manufacturers that are compatible with the long-distance transmission, visit the Panasonic website ((http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/) or (http://panasonic.net/prodisplays/)). Note that the conrmation

of operation for devices of other manufacturers has been performed only with the items set by Panasonic

Corporation, and not all the operations have been veried. For operation or performance problems caused by the

devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturer.

Before connecting

f Before connecting, carefully read the Operating Instructions of the equipment to be connected. f Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables. f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

g When connecting the cable to this device or to the equipment to be connected with this device, touch a metal

object around you to discharge the static from your body before holding the cable.

g Do not use unnecessarily long cable when connecting this device and the display (projector or at panel

display). Longer the cable is, easier to be inuenced by a noise. If the cable is used in a winding condition, it becomes an antenna, which more easily gets inuenced by a noise.

g When connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting equipment

in a straight manner.

f If connecting cables necessary for the system connection are not supplied with the connecting equipment as

accessories or not available as an option, prepare cables that are compatible with the connecting equipment.

f If video signals from video equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble. In this

case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.

f Signals that can be connected to this device are video signal, Y/C signal, YC

signal (synchronization signal is TTL level), and HDMI signal.

f Some computer models are not compatible with this device. f For details of the video signal supported by this device, refer to “Compatible signals” (x page 89).
