Chapter 2 Getting Started — Connecting
50 - ENGLISH
For <SDI IN 1>/<SDI IN 2> terminals (PT-DZ13KU, PT-DS12KU), <SDI IN> terminal (PT-DZ10KU)
The connection example is for PT-DZ13KU, PT-DS12KU.
SD-SDI signal, HD-SDI signal or 3G-SDI
signal
Digital VCR for commercial use
Note
f Use the [PICTURE] menu → [SYSTEM SELECTOR] to switch the input format.
f Some external devices to be connected require the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu → [SDI IN] to be set.
f Use a 5CFB or higher (such as 5CFB, or 7CFB) or a Belden 1694A or higher connection cable to properly transmit images. Use a
connection cable of 100 m (328'1") length or less.
f To enter dual link signals, the [SDI LINK] in [SDI IN] must be set. (Only for PT-DZ13KU, PT-DS12KU)
f Use the same length and same type of cables to connect <SDI IN 1>/<SDI IN 2> terminals when entering dual link signals. If there is a
difference of 4 m (13'1") or greater in cable length, images may not be projected properly. (Only for PT-DZ13KU, PT-DS12KU)
f To input dual link signals, connect directly without going through a distributor or other such device to the external device which outputs
signals. A phase difference may occur between the LINK-A signal and the LINK-B signal and images may not be projected properly. (Only
for PT-DZ13KU, PT-DS12KU)
f When an unsteady signal is connected, an error in signal detection may occur. In such a case, use the [PICTURE] menu → [SYSTEM
SELECTOR] to switch to a system that matches the signal format.

Attention
f When connecting the projector to a computer or an external device, use the power cord supplied with each device and commercially
available shielded cables.
f Use a commercial cable with a ferrite core for connecting with the <DVI-D IN> terminal.
Note
f When entering DVI-D, some external devices to be connected may require switching the setting using the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu →
[DVI-D IN] → [EDID].
f For an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
f The <HDMI IN> terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with a DVI-D terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion
cable, but some devices may not project the image properly or function properly.
f The <DVI-D IN> terminal supports single links only.
f When entering the SYNC ON GREEN signal, do not enter sync signals to the <SYNC/HD> terminal or the <VD> terminal.
f If you operate the projector using the computer with the resume feature (last memory), you may have to reset the resume feature to operate
the projector.
