Overview

The Panasonic ET-YFB100G is a digital interface box for DIGITAL LINK-ready Panasonic displays. It sends uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals up to 100 metres over a single CAT5e (STP) cable, so ceiling-mounted and permanent installations need fewer cable runs. It offers two HDMI inputs, two RGB inputs and a separate audio output, and suits schools, government offices and meeting spaces across Qatar. Request a quote.

What the ET-YFB100G does in a DIGITAL LINK system

The Panasonic ET-YFB100G is a digital interface box that connects your source equipment to a DIGITAL LINK-ready Panasonic display. Its DIGITAL LINK output uses an RJ-45 port to carry uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals, including Ethernet and RS-232C, over a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher for up to 100 metres. One cable run replaces several separate lines, which is why the unit suits ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.

Inputs and outputs that matter on site

Two HDMI inputs with 19-pin connectors, HDCP compatible and supporting Deep Color
Two RGB inputs on D-sub HD 15-pin connectors, plus composite and S-Video inputs for older sources
A separate audio output that keeps sound running when the display is switched off
A LAN port (10Base-T/100Base-TX) and an RS-232C serial port for external control

Image quality and automatic setup

Digital transmission keeps picture and sound quality intact over the full cable run. Interlaced motion signals are converted into smooth progressive images, and PC signals are resized to match the display panel resolution when the output is set to AUTO. The Auto Setup function identifies the incoming signal and adjusts the output for the best angle of view. 3D video passes through in Pass Through mode only. Some formats are not handled by the scaling function, so test the laptops and media players your team uses before sign-off.

Where it fits across Qatar

A university lecture theatre in Education City with a ceiling-mounted display, while the presentation source stays in a comms cabinet at the back of the building.
A government ministry in West Bay fitting out boardrooms that all draw sources from one central room, with one cable run per room.
A private school in Al Wakrah equipping classrooms with permanent screens and wanting one cable per room rather than a bundle of separate video and control lines.

Planning the rack, power and environment

The unit measures 210 x 44 x 250 mm and weighs about 1.15 kg without its AC adaptor. The package includes two mounting brackets for rack or countertop use, a bracket for rack installation, four legs and the screws to fit them. Power consumption is 16 W, falling to 0.2 W with the power off. The adaptor accepts 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, so it covers Qatar's 240 V supply, and three 2 m power cords are supplied. The operating range is 0-40 °C with 20-80% humidity and no condensation. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 °C, so install the unit in an air-conditioned room or a ventilated rack, not in a hot ceiling void. Eco mode stops the DIGITAL LINK output when no signal is detected, but the time and other menu settings must be made first.

Questions about ET-YFB100G

What is the Panasonic ET-YFB100G used for?

It is a digital interface box that connects source devices such as laptops and media players to a DIGITAL LINK-ready Panasonic display. The DIGITAL LINK output sends video, audio and control signals over one CAT5e (STP) cable, so the source can sit in a rack or comms room away from the screen.

What cable does the DIGITAL LINK connection need?

The DIGITAL LINK port uses an RJ-45 connector and supports up to 100 metres over a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. Choose STP cable and run it to the display's DIGITAL LINK input. SmartRooms Qatar can confirm the cable route during a free site survey before you order.

Does it support HDMI and laptop inputs?

Yes. It has two HDMI inputs with 19-pin connectors, HDCP compatible and supporting Deep Color, plus two RGB inputs on D-sub HD 15-pin connectors. Composite and S-Video inputs are also provided, so older sources such as legacy AV players can still be connected.

Can sound play when the display is switched off?

Yes. A separate audio output keeps sound available even when the display power is turned off. This suits a school hall in Al Rayyan where the audio feed goes to an external amplifier while the screen is switched off between sessions.

Can I switch inputs with the display remote?

Yes. With a DIGITAL LINK-compatible Panasonic display, the ET-YFB100G input can be selected using the display's remote control. This lets a teacher or meeting host change sources without a separate controller.

Can it be mounted in a server rack?

Yes. Rack-mount brackets to EIA standards are included, along with countertop brackets and four legs. A comms room in a Doha office block is a typical place to rack it with other AV sources, while the unit is designed for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.

How much power does it use and what adaptor does it need?

It draws 16 W with the supplied adaptor and 0.2 W with the power off. The AC adaptor accepts 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains, and outputs DC 16 V 3.75 A. Three 2 m power cords are supplied. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the cords suit your BS 1363 sockets.

Can it be installed in a hot room in Qatar?

The operating range is 0-40 °C with 20-80% humidity and no condensation. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 °C, so install the unit in an air-conditioned room or a ventilated rack, and avoid sun-exposed cabinets or hot spaces above suspended ceilings.

How many units does a school in Al Wakrah need for several classrooms?

Each DIGITAL LINK output feeds one display, so each classroom screen needs its own unit and cable run. For a school fitting out several classrooms, request one quotation covering all units and cables. Schools can pay by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.

Can one unit serve several meeting rooms in a Lusail hotel?

No. Each unit has one DIGITAL LINK output and feeds one display. On a conference floor in Lusail, you could place one unit per room in a central rack, connecting presentation PCs to its two HDMI and two RGB inputs. Eco mode stops the output when no signal is detected, after the time is set.

Will laptop presentations display at the correct resolution?

When the output setting is AUTO, PC signals are resized to match the display panel resolution. The scaling function does not support some formats, so test the laptops and video sources used in a West Bay ministry boardroom before rollout to confirm they display correctly.

Does it work with displays from other brands?

DIGITAL LINK is built on HDBaseT technology, so signals can reach a non-DIGITAL LINK display through compatible equipment from other manufacturers that use the same technology. Check the manufacturer's list of confirmed compatible equipment before buying, then request a quote.
