Panasonic PT-FW100NTEA Projector User Manual


 
Daylight View 3 Technology: Enhanced Perception of
Brightness and Contrast *
The PT-FW100NTEA features Panasonic’s
Daylight View 3 technology, which uses an
adaptive low-pass filter to optimise
the dark parts of the image. This
makes images seem brighter and
higher in contrast, so they appear
crisp, vivid and easy to see even in
brightly lit rooms. Daylight View 3
also includes a built-in ambient
light sensor that automatically
detects room brightness and adjusts
operation accordingly.
Wide Images
The PT-FW100NTEA features wide-aspect LCD panels, which allow
native reproduction of WXGA (1,280 x 800) images from a computer.
This provides a visually powerful display of wide-screen images from
DVD sources, as well as wide-screen images from wide-aspect com-
puters, which will soon be the mainstream.
Side-by-Side Function
The PT-FW100NTEA can
simultaneously display
images from two sources
*
onto a single screen. For
example, you can display a
PC image on the right and
a video image on the left.
Taking advantage of the
PT-FW100NTEA’s wide-
screen projection, this
function gives you a host of new application possibilities to explore.
* This function is not effective for some source combinations.
Easy Wireless Projection from Multiple PCs
With the PT-FW100NTEA’s wireless capability, you don’t need cables
to connect a PC. That means it’s easy to bring in a laptop (with a
wireless LAN function) and deliver a smooth, hassle-free presentation.
You can make the settings for wireless connection quickly and easily
using Wireless Manager ME 4.5 software. When the presentation is
finished, Wireless Manager restores the PC to its previous LAN set-
tings, so the PC is ready to recon-
nect to your LAN. Wireless Manager
functions include Live mode and
Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the
image projected is identical to the
image seen on the PC screen. In
Multi-Live mode, you can wirelessly
connect with multiple PCs.

turned on. The brightness and contrast
over the entire image appear to be
enhanced, and details in shadow areas
are reproduced clearly.

turned off. Overall contrast appears lower,
and images in dark areas are blackened.
Virtual Remote
Control
The same graphics
used on the projector's
remote control can be
displayed on the PC
screen. This makes it
easy to operate the
projector right from the PC, without
having to use the remote control.

Four-window style Index style
(Four thumbnails)
Extended index style
(16 thumbnails)
The PT-FW100NTEA provides a host of convenient wireless functions, including Wireless
Prompter (Secondary Display Transmission), selective area transmission and a 16-window
index style that lets you project images from up to 16 PCs at the same time. Wireless
transmission is possible from one PC to a maximum of eight projectors at a time.
A Wide Variety of Wireless Functions
* There is no actual change in the rated
brightness or contrast ratio.
When projecting images from a source with a wide aspect ratio onto a 4:3 screen, the pro-
jector reduces the image to use only 75% of the screen area. Also, wide-screen projection
makes it possible to display larger images where the room for the screen height is limited.
With the PT-FW100NTEA’s wide-aspect-ratio
capability, you can project two large 4:3
images side by side.
