Practical and Easy. A New Level of Wireless Convenience.
Wireless Projection the Easy Way
The PT-LB51NTUs wireless ability completely eliminates the need for PC cable connection. You simply bring in your laptop (with a wireless LAN function) for smooth, hassle-free presentations and flexible room layouts. The supplied Wireless Manager ME 4.5 software makes setup quick and easy, and a host of wireless functions complement projector applications. On top of all this, the PT-LB51NTU and PT-LB51U incorporate Panasonics original Daylight View 2 technology, which makes images easy to see even in brightly lit rooms.

Easy Wireless Projection

(PT-LB51NTU)
Easy Wireless Projection from Multiple PCs 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 settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect 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.
Virtual Remote Control The same graphics used on the projectors 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. Easy Connection Wireless Manager ME 4.5 greatly simplifies the PC-projector connection procedure. Simply press the Computer Search button on the supplied remote control and the projector locates all live-mode ready PCs in the area. All you do is select the desired PC-to-projector connection.

Multiple Source Live Mode
You can simultaneously project a single computers screen on up to eight projectors. This mode is useful when a number of projectors are installed, for example, in a large conference room, or when holding simultaneous presentations in several conference rooms.
By using the area select window, you can specify the necessary information alone from the computer screen, and display it on the projection screen.
This allows transmission of content other than whats displayed on your PC. For example, you can display text documents on your PC screen while projecting slide from your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation* 1.

The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions. The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use. The projector includes consumable parts. The frequency of replacement for the lamp and other consumable parts will increase if the projector is subjected to extended, continuous use. For details, please consult a service representative.
