Practical and Easy. A New Level of Wireless Convenience.
Wireless Projection the Easy Way
The PT-LB51NTEAs wireless ability completely eliminates the need for PC cable connection. You simply bring in your laptop (with a wireless LAN function) for smooth, hasslefree 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-LB51NTEA, PT-LB51EA and PT-LB51SEA incorporate Panasonics original Daylight View 2 technology, which makes images easy to see even in brightly lit rooms.

Easy Wireless Projection

(PT-LB51NTEA)
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.

Multi Live Mode The PT-LB51NTEA 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.
Windows Vista/Macintosh Compatibility Wireless Manager ME 4.5 is Microsoft Windows Vista compatible, and also allows wireless projection (in Live mode only) from a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X (v10.4 or later).
More convenient wireless functions
Selective Area Transmission
(PT-LB51NTEA) 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.
Wireless Prompter Function (Secondary Display Transmission)
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.

NOTES ON USE 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.
