Panasonic ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher for Panasonic DIGITAL LINK-ready Projectors

Panasonic ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher for Panasonic DIGITAL LINK-ready Projectors

This DIGITAL LINK switcher is designed for use with Panasonic video display devices. Two output lines of video, audio and control signals (LAN/serial) can be transmitted over distances of up to 100 meters (150m in long reach mode)* using only a LAN cable (CAT5e or greater STP cable). It can also handle an additional DVI-D output line. In addition to video and RGB signals, HDMI signals can be input. Switching is done using the projector’s wireless remote control or the control buttons of the DIGITAL LINK switcher.
(* Video signals that can be transmitted are those with a resolution of 1080/60p (dot clock 148.5 MHz) or lower.)

Simple and Cost-Effective Multi-Output Switching

2 x DIGITAL LINK (based on HDBaseT™ technology) terminals output uncompressed HD digital video, audio, and command signals to two projectors/displays. Long-distance DIGITAL LINK transmission of up to 150 m (492 ft)* through a single CAT 5e (STP) or higher cable. Daisy-chain (cascade) connection capability for distribution to multiple display devices. Abundant input terminals including HDMI inputs (x 2), RGB input, and audio inputs (x 3). Separate audio output facilitates audio playback when projector is powered down.
(* For Long Reach Mode applicable models, please refer to DIGITAL LINK page. For other DIGITAL LINK models: up to 100 m (328 ft).)

Easy Operation and Installation

DVI-D output is included to connect an extra projector/display or to monitor outgoing signals on a connected PC. Handy in-browser remote control of switcher unit from PC or tablet. Supports Early Warning Software allowing failures to be anticipated or more easily identified. User-friendly soft-touch buttons and compact half-rack dimensions. Front-panel On/Standby buttons for individual display devices. ET-YFB200G input can be selected with the remote control of a Panasonic projector featuring DIGITAL LINK compatibility. Compatible with other manufacturer's equipment based on the same technology*. (*For details on other manufacturers' equipment, see the list of tested compatible equipment.). Brackets for server rack (EIA standards) mounting included.

High-Fidelity Digital Signal Transmission

Digital transmission ensures lossless image and sound quality over long distances. Digital Cinema Reality converts interlaced motion image signals into beautifully smooth progressive images. No Signal Sleep Mode automatically shuts down DIGITAL LINK output when no input signal is detected, saving power. PC signals are automatically resized and output at the optimal resolution to suit the projector's panel resolution*. Auto Setup function automatically distinguishes input signal and adjusts to output at the optimal viewing angle. 3D video format transmission supported (Pass Through Mode only). Closed caption compatibility.
(* The output setting for the ET-YFB200G should be set to AUTO. This scaling/resizing function does not support some formats.)

Distribute Digital Signals to Two Display Devices

The ET-YFB200G features two DIGITAL LINK outputs, allowing simultaneous delivery of media and control signals to dual projectors, two displays, or one projector and one display.

• Seamless control and media distribution to a main projector and sub-display, or where content is transmitted to two separate rooms
• Supports edge blending for large-format dual-unit projection in large venues or at sporting events
• Monitoring capability from control room on PC via DVI-D output
• In-browser remote control for convenient operation on tablet or PC

Daisy-chain (Cascade) to Connect Multiple Display Devices

In applications where more than two display devices need to be integrated into an AV network, multiple ET-YFB200Gs can be daisy-chained (cascaded) via DVI-D to switch and relay signals to multiple displays using DIGITAL LINK.

• Enables Full HD video transmission for up to 150 m (492 ft)*
• Supports 360-degree panoramic displays using multiple projectors
• Early Warning Software for reliable operation in mission-critical situations

(* For Long Reach Mode applicable models, please refer to DIGITAL LINK page. For other DIGITAL LINK models: up to 100 m (328 ft).)

Integrates 3x3 Video Wall Installations

The ET-YFB200G is an optional component in Panasonic's end-to-end video-wall solutions, which include a dedicated modular mounting frame, auto color calibration with camera, and panel daisy chaining via DIGITAL LINK.

• Compatible with video-wall layouts of up to 3 x 3 panels, as well as 3 x 1 configurations
• Enables long-distance Full HD signal transmission from source devices kept in safe remote locations
• Suited to applications where the input source is not switched frequently
• Able to route audio signals separately to sound systems for amplification

(* Due to HDCP limitations, a maximum of eight displays can be daisy-chained via a single LAN cable.)
