DIGITAL LINK Terminal connection
A twisted pair cable transmitter, such as the Panasonic
device that supports DIGITAL LINK output (ET-
YFB100G, ET-YFB200G) uses twisted pair cables to
transmit inputted video and audio signals, and these
digital signals can be input to the Display via the
DIGITAL LINK terminal.

Hub or broadband router
Note
● When using a DIGITAL LINK connection, set each
item in [Network settings]. (see page 69)
Precautions for use while connecting with a twisted
pair cable transmitter
About installation / connection
● Ask the dealer or a qualified technician to carry out
the cable wiring work for DIGITAL LINK connections.
Insufficient wiring work may cause the inability to
apply the cable transmission characteristics and
cropped or fuzzy images and sounds.
● The transmission distance between the twisted pair
cable transmitter and the device is normally up to 100
meters. When the transmitter supports [Long reach]
communication method, the transmittable distance is
up to 150 m. Please note that if exceeding the limit,
video or audio may be interrupted, or malfunction may
be caused during LAN communication. Furthermore,
when connecting using [Long reach] communication
method, depending on the specification of the
transmitters, transmittable video signals or the
distance may be limited.
● Do not use a hub between the twisted pair cable
transmitter and the device.
● When connecting the Display using the twisted pair
cable transmitter (receiver) of other manufacturer,
do not use another twisted pair cable transmitter
between the twisted pair cable transmitter of other
manufacturer and this device. The images and
sounds may be interrupted or become unstable.
● If possible, lay the cable extended and not coiled in
order to minimize both external and internal noise.
● Lay out cables of the twist pair cable transmitter and
this product away from other cables, especially from
the power supply cable.
● When laying multiple cables, keep them together as
close as possible running parallelly and not bundled.
● After laying the cable(s), check that the signal quality
in [DIGITAL LINK status] is -12 dB or below.
About Twisted pair cables
● Between the twisted pair cable transmitter and
the device, use a LAN cable that conforms to the
following 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 as
a cable tester or cable analyser and check whether
the cable characteristics are CAT5e or above. When
using a relay connector along the path, also include
this in the measurements.
● Do not pull cables hard. Also, avoid bending or folding
them forcefully.
