Note
- "SLOT NX" is a name of the slot unique to Panasonic supporting the signal input for the 4K image.
- The video signal that can actually display will vary depending on the projector that the Interface Board is installed. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions of your projector.
- When the projector is in the standby state, signals are not output from the
terminal and terminal. - To ensure images are transmitted correctly, use 5C-FB or higher (5C-FB, 7C-FB, etc.), Belden 1694A or higher, or Canare Electric L-5.5CUHD for the connection cable. Furthermore, the maximum lengths of cables that can be used are as follows. However, these maximum cable lengths are provided as a guide, and are not a guarantee of transmission distances.
-SD-SDI signal, HD-SDI signal, and 3G-SDI signal: 150 m
-6G-SDI signal: 80 m (110 m if L-5.5CUHD is used.) - When 12G-SDI, differs depending on the setting of [Display Options] menu → [SLOT IN] → [SDI Mode] of the projector.
When [SDI Mode] is set to [Input], 50 m (100 m if L-5.5CUHD is used.)
When [SDI Mode] is set to [Output], 50 m (90 m if L-5.5CUHD is used.) - When [Display Options] menu → [SLOT IN] → [SDI Mode] of the projector is set to [Output], attach a terminating resistor (75 Ω) to the terminal to which a device is not connected as an output destination.
- For the BNC connector of the connection cable, use one that supports the coaxial cable and types of signal to be used.
