Using Network Function DIGITAL LINK Connections (connecting with a twisted pair cable transmitter) This device is equipped with functions that allow Ethernet signals from a twisted pair cable transmitter to be received through a LAN cable along with video/audio signals. Network connections via twisted pair cable transmitter PC Display (rear surface of the main body) Remove the terminal cover (see page 9) DIGITAL LINK terminal Twisted pair cable transmitter LAN cable (commercial) LAN cable (commercial) Hub or broadband router Note: Con¿gure the settings in "Network Setup" when using a DIGITAL LINK connection. (see pages 43 to 45) Precautions for use while connecting with a twisted pair cable transmitter Installing / Connecting Ɣ Ask the dealer or a quali¿ed technician to carry out the cable wiring work for DIGITAL LINK connections. Insuf¿cient wiring work may cause the inability to apply the cable transmission characteristics and cropped or fuzzy images and sounds. Ɣ The transmission distance between the twisted pair cable transmitter and the device is up to 100 meters. Exceeding this distance can cause cropped images or sounds, as well as LAN communication errors. Ɣ Do not use a hub between the twisted pair cable transmitter and the Display. Ɣ When connecting to the Display using the twisted pair cable transmitter (receiver) of other maker, do not use another twisted pair cable transmitter between the twisted pair cable transmitter of other maker and this device. The images and sounds may be interrupted or become unstable. Ɣ If possible, lay the cable so that it is extended and not coiled in order to minimize both external and internal noise. Ɣ Lay out cables of the twist pair cable transmitter and this product away from other cables, especially from the power supply cable. Ɣ When laying multiple cables, keep them as close together as possible running parallelly and not bundled. Ɣ After laying the cable(s), make sure that the signal quality in "DIGITAL LINK status" is -12 dB or below. Twisted pair cables Ɣ Use a LAN cable between the twisted pair cable transmitter and the device that conforms to the following conditions. Ɣ It meets or exceeds CAT5e standards Ɣ It is a straight cable Ɣ It is a shielded cable (with a connector) Ɣ It is a solid cable Ɣ When laying the cable(s), use an instrument such as a cable tester or cable analyzer and check whether the cable characteristics are CAT5e or above. When using a relay connector along the path, also include this in the measurements. Ɣ Do not pull cables hard. Also avoid forcefully bending or folding them. Other Ɣ This device is compatible with our Digital Interface Box (ET-YFB100). For the twisted pair cable transmitter of the other maker, refer to the following URL.
