Moving picture

Wireless PC Motion/Sound Streaming
In addition to the moving pictures, audio data can be sent at the same time, so you can give Microsoft PowerPoint presentations rich in moving pictures and sound effects with wireless convenience.
Simple, User-Friendly Operation
The settings for wireless connection can be made quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 3.0 software, which installs easily onto a PC using the included CD-ROM. You can also copy Wireless Manager onto a memory card and take it to a presentation site. This gives you wireless projection even where there are no PCs with Wireless Manager ME 3.0*5. When the Wireless Manager ME 3.0 is finished, the PCs LAN settings are restored to their original state, so the PC is ready to reconnect to your company LAN.
Abundant Wireless Functions
The PT-LB50NTEA provides a host of convenient wireless functions, including Wireless Prompter (Secondary Display Transmission), selective area transmission and 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.

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 lamp, LCD panel, polarising plate, and polarising beam splitter (PBS) are consumable parts. These parts may need to be replaced during the guarantee period if the projector is used for six or more hours per day. The replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarising plate, and polarising beam splitter (PBS) will be shortened if the projector is subjected to continuous use for six or more hours. Likewise, the replacement cycle of the lamp will be shortened if the power is frequently turned on and off or the projector is subjected to continuous use for 10 or more hours. Interruptions may occur in the wireless connection due to signal interference or PC conditions.
To use wireless functions, a PC is required that meets the conditions given below: OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition CPU: Pentium III or higher, or other compatible processor (1 GHz or higher is recommended). Memory: 256 MB or more Free hard disk space: 60 MB or more CD-ROM drive: CD-ROM drive or DVD drive Wireless LAN: IEEE 802.11b/g compatible (built-in wireless LAN system or external IEEE 802.11b/g LAN card must be installed and running normally.) However, some IEEE 802.11g/b wireless LAN may not allow connection to the projector. Web browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Netscape Communicator 7.0 or later Direct X: DirectX 8.1b or later must be installed.

Ecology-Conscious Design

Panasonic works from every angle to minimise environmental impact in the product design, production and delivery processes, and in the performance of the product itself over its life cycle. The PT-LB50 Series reflects the following ecological considerations. Lead-free solder is used to mount components to the printed circuit boards. No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet. No styrofoam is used in the packing materials. Lead-free glass is used for the lens. The packing case and operating manual are made from recycled paper.
Operation is not guaranteed for all computers that meet the above conditions.
