Wireless Projection the Easy Way

The PT-LB51NTEA’s wireless ability complete-

ly eliminates the need for PC cable connec-

tion. You simply bring in your laptop (with a

wireless LAN function) for smooth, hassle-

free presentations and flexible room layouts.

The supplied Wireless Manager ME 4.5 soft-

ware makes setup quick and easy, and a

host of wireless functions complement pro-

jector applications. On top of all this, the

PT-LB51NTEA, PT-LB51EA and PT-LB51SEA

incorporate Panasonic’s original Daylight

View 2 technology, which makes images easy

to see even in brightly lit rooms.

Easy Wireless Projection

(PT-LB51NTEA)

Easy Wireless Projection from Multiple PCs

You can make the settings for wireless connection
quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 4.5
software. When the presentation is finished,
Wireless Manager restores the PC to its previous
LAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect to
your LAN. Wireless Manager functions include Live
mode and Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the
image projected is identical to the image seen on
the PC screen. In Multi-Live mode, you can wire­lessly connect with multiple PCs.

Virtual Remote Control

The same graphics used on the
projector’s remote control can be
displayed on the PC screen. This
makes it easy to operate the pro­jector right from the PC, without
having to use the remote control.

Easy Connection

Wireless Manager ME 4.5 great­ly simplifies the PC-projector
connection procedure. Simply
press the “Computer Search”
button on the supplied remote
control and the projector locates
all live-mode ready PCs in the area. All you do is
select the desired PC-to-projector connection.

Wireless Prompter Function
(Secondary Display Transmission)

Selective Area Transmission Multiple Source Live Mode

This allows transmission of content other than
what’s displayed on your PC. For example, you can
display text documents on your PC screen while
projecting slide from your Microsoft

®

PowerPoint

®

presentation*1.

By using the area select window, you can specify
the necessary information alone from the computer
screen, and display it on the projection screen.

You can simultaneously project a single computer’s
screen on up to eight projectors. This mode is
useful when a number of projectors are installed,
for example, in a large conference room, or when
holding simultaneous presentations in several con­ference rooms.

(Four thumbnails)

Extended index style

(16 thumbnails)

Multi Live Mode

The PT-LB51NTEA provides a host of convenient wireless functions, includ­ing Wireless Prompter (Secondary Display Transmission), selective area
transmission and a 16-window index style that lets you project images from
up to 16 PCs at the same time. Wireless transmission is possible from one
PC to a maximum of eight projectors at a time.

Wireless Manager Control Panel (Launcher)

To begin wireless projection, simply use the control
panel (launcher) displayed in the PC window.

Windows Vista™/Macintosh Compatibility

Wireless Manager ME 4.5 is Microsoft

®

Windows
Vista™ compatible, and also allows wireless pro­jection (in Live mode only) from a Macintosh com­puter running Mac OS X (v10.4 or later).

Daylight View 2

Crisp, Clear Images in a Well-Lit Room

Panasonic’s Daylight View
2 technology, which
helps project sharp, crisp
images that are easy to
see even in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor
measures the ambient light, and the halftone
colours and brightness level are adjusted accord­ingly in real-time.

Presentation Flexibility

Easy-to-Use Remote Control

The control range and
distance have been
extended compared to
previous models, and the
buttons are now larger
and easier to use.

Blackboard Mode

This special picture mode allows the PT-LB51NTEA
to project images onto an ordinary classroom or
conference room blackboard when a projection
screen is not available.

Ultra-Lightweight and Compact

At only 1.8 kg/1.9 kg*2, PT-LB51 models won’t
weigh you down—even when you’re carrying with

you a laptop. PT-LB51 projectors are

297 mm wide by 210 mm

deep—about the size of

an A4 sheet of paper—

and only 57 mm high.
Each slips easily into a

bag or briefcase.

Quick Operation

Customisable Function Button

One frequently used function
can be assigned to this button
on the top panel of the projec­tor for instant, pushbutton use.
Select from shutter, auto setup,
picture mode, freeze, and index
window functions.

Two-Second Speed Start

With Speed Start, the image appears in about two
seconds after you press the power button.

Auto Search

When a source is connected and you switch the
unit on, it automatically detects what kind of
source is connected and begins projection.

Real-Time Keystone Correction

The projector automatically senses if you adjust
its angle (vertical direction) during operation and
instantly makes whatever keystone correction is
necessary for optimum viewing.

Direct Power Off

You can disconnect the
power cable and move
the projector as soon as
your presentation is fin­ished, because the cool­ing fan keeps operating
until the lamp is cooled.

N OTES ON USE

• The projector uses a high-voltage mercury
lamp that contains high internal pressure.
This lamp may break, emitting a large
sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or
extended use. The length of time that it
takes for the lamp to break or fail to illumi­nate varies greatly depending on individual
lamp characteristics and usage conditions.

• The brightness of the lamp will gradually
decrease with use.

• The projector includes consumable parts.
The frequency of replacement for the lamp
and other consumable parts will increase if
the projector is subjected to extended, con­tinuous use. For details, please consult a
service representative.

*1: In AI mode. *2: Legs and protruding parts not included. *3: Opera tion range differs depending on the environment.
