Practical and Easy. A New Level of Wireless Convenience.

Wireless Projection the Easy Way

The PT-LB51NTU’s wireless ability completely

eliminates the need for PC cable connection.

You simply bring in your laptop (with a wire-

less LAN function) for smooth, hassle-free pre-

sentations and flexible room layouts. The sup-

plied 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 Panasonic’s 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 PCsYou can make the settings for wireless connectionquickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 4.5software. When the presentation is finished,Wireless Manager restores the PC to its previousLAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect toyour LAN. Wireless Manager functions include Livemode and Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, theimage projected is identical to the image seen onthe PC screen. In Multi-Live mode, you can wire-lessly connect with multiple PCs.

Virtual Remote ControlThe same graphics used on theprojector’s remote control can bedisplayed on the PC screen. Thismakes it easy to operate the pro-jector right from the PC, withouthaving to use the remote control.

Easy ConnectionWireless Manager ME 4.5 greatlysimplifies the PC-projector connec-tion procedure. Simply press the“Computer Search” button on thesupplied remote control and theprojector locates all live-modeready PCs in the area. All you dois select the desired PC-to-projector connection.

Wireless Prompter Function (Secondary Display Transmission)

Selective Area Transmission Multiple Source Live Mode

This allows transmission of content other than what’s dis-played on your PC. For example, you can display text docu-ments on your PC screen while projecting slide from yourMicrosoft® PowerPoint® presentation*1.

By using the area select window, you can specify the neces-sary information alone from the computer screen, and displayit on the projection screen.

You can simultaneously project a single computer’s screen onup to eight projectors. This mode is useful when a number ofprojectors are installed, for example, in a large conferenceroom, or when holding simultaneous presentations in severalconference rooms.

More convenient wireless functions (PT-LB51NTU)

Four-window style Index style(Four thumbnails)

Extended index style(16 thumbnails)

Multi Live ModeThe PT-LB51NTU provides a host of convenient wireless functions, includingWireless Prompter (Secondary Display Transmission), selective area trans-mission and a 16-window index style that lets you project images from upto 16 PCs at the same time. Wireless transmission is possible from one PCto a maximum of eight projectors at a time.

Wireless Manager Control Panel (Launcher) To begin wireless projection, simply use the controlpanel (launcher) displayed in the PC window.

Windows Vista™/Macintosh Compatibility Wireless Manager ME 4.5 is Microsoft® WindowsVista™ compatible, and also allows wireless pro-jection (in Live mode only) from a Macintosh com-puter running Mac OS X (v10.4 or later).

Daylight View 2

Crisp, Clear Images in a Well-Lit RoomPanasonic’s Daylight View 2 technology, whichhelps project sharp, crisp images that are easy tosee even in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensormeasures the ambient light, and the halftonecolour and brightness level are adjusted according-ly in real-time.

Presentation Flexibility

Easy-to-Use Remote ControlThe control range and dis-tance have been extendedcompared to previous mod-els, and the buttons are nowlarger and easier to use.

Blackboard ModeThis special picture mode allows the PT-LB51NTUto project images onto an ordinary classroom orconference room blackboard when a projectionscreen is not available.

Ultra-Lightweight and CompactAt only 1.8 kg or 1.9 kg*2, PT-LB51NTU and PT-LB51U won’t weigh you down—even when

you’re carrying with you a laptop. Bothmodels are 297 mm wide by 210 mm

deep—about the size of an A4sheet of paper—and only 57 mmhigh. They slip easily into a bag orbriefcase.

• The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that containshigh internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a largesound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail toilluminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp charac-teristics and usage conditions.

• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.

• The projector includes consumable parts. The frequency ofreplacement for the lamp and other consumable parts willincrease if the projector is subjected to extended, continuoususe. For details, please consult a service representative.
