Overview

The Panasonic ET-YFB200G is a DIGITAL LINK switcher that takes HDMI, computer and composite sources and sends uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals over HDBaseT-compliant cabling to two projectors or displays. It runs up to 150 m over a single CAT 5e cable, supports daisy-chaining and fits a standard server rack. It suits auditoriums, lecture theatres and multi-screen signage in Doha, Lusail and Education City. Request a quote.

Two DIGITAL LINK outputs for dual-screen rooms

The ET-YFB200G takes two HDMI inputs, a computer RGB input, a composite video input and three audio inputs, then sends uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals out through two RJ-45 DIGITAL LINK outputs. Both outputs follow HDBaseT, so one network-style cable carries the picture, sound and commands to the display at the far end.

Because both outputs run at the same time, a single source can feed a main projector and a sub-display, or two separate rooms. That suits lecture theatres and seminar rooms in Education City, meeting rooms in West Bay or Msheireb, and any room where a second screen must show identical content. A separate audio output can also feed a sound system while the projector is switched off.

Cable distance, daisy-chaining and video walls

The manufacturer specifies transmission of up to 150 m (492 ft) over one CAT 5e (STP) or higher cable. The reachable distance depends on the receiving DIGITAL LINK model and its Long Reach Mode support, and other DIGITAL LINK models are rated to 100 m. Measure each route from the rack to the display and check the receiver before buying cable.

When more screens are needed, units can be daisy-chained through the DVI-D output. The switcher supports 360-degree panoramic layouts with multiple projectors and edge blending for dual-unit projection. It is also an optional component in Panasonic's video wall solutions, with layouts of up to 3 x 3 panels as well as 3 x 1. Note the stated limit of eight displays daisy-chained over a single LAN cable because of HDCP restrictions.

Control, monitoring and reliability

Browser control from a PC or tablet, plus RS-232C, parallel remote and PJLink-compatible LAN control.
Control-room monitoring of outgoing signals through the DVI-D output.
Early Warning Software helps anticipate failures or identify them more easily.
No Signal Sleep Mode shuts the output down when no input is detected, saving power.

Auto Setup detects the input type and adjusts the output, Digital Cinema Reality smooths interlaced motion, and 3D transmission works in Pass Through Mode only. Closed caption compatibility is also listed.

Power, size and environment planning in Qatar

The chassis is a half-rack unit measuring 210 x 44 x 250 mm, not including protruding parts, and weighs approximately 1.3 kg. Rack brackets, legs and screws are supplied, so it can go into an EIA server rack or sit on a desk. Power comes from the supplied AC adaptor, which accepts 100 V to 240 V AC and draws 32 W, or 0.15 W with power off. Qatar's 240 V mains falls within that range, but check the plug on the supplied power cords before ordering.

Operating temperature is 0 to 40 °C with 20 to 80 percent humidity, non-condensing. Summer temperatures in Qatar exceed 45 °C, so install the switcher in an air-conditioned comms room or rack, not a hot plant room or an outdoor kiosk.

Planning the installation

Before ordering, list every source, display and cable route. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check cable paths, rack position and ventilation, followed by professional installation. We deliver to all eight municipalities of Qatar and accept purchase orders for schools and government projects.

Questions about ET-YFB200G

What is the Panasonic ET-YFB200G used for?

It is a DIGITAL LINK switcher that routes one of several sources to two projectors or displays at once. Its two RJ-45 outputs carry uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals over HDBaseT-compliant cabling. It suits a lecture theatre with a main screen and a sub-display, or a meeting room that needs a second screen in an adjoining space.

How far can the ET-YFB200G send a signal?

The source data gives up to 150 m (492 ft) through a single CAT 5e (STP) or higher cable. That figure applies to Long Reach Mode applicable models, while other DIGITAL LINK models are rated to 100 m. On a campus such as Education City, measure each run from the rack to the display and check the receiving model before buying cable.

Which inputs does the switcher accept?

It has two HDMI inputs, two D-sub HD 15-pin computer inputs, a composite VIDEO IN and three stereo audio inputs. The HDMI inputs carry linear PCM audio at 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz. This makes it practical for a meeting room that switches between a presentation PC, a media player and a document source.

Can I connect more than two displays?

Yes, through daisy-chaining. Units can be cascaded through the DVI-D output to relay signals to several displays over DIGITAL LINK. The data notes a maximum of eight displays daisy-chained over a single LAN cable because of HDCP limits. For a school corridor or a departure hall near Hamad International Airport, map the chain before ordering.

Is it suitable for video walls?

Yes. It is an optional component in Panasonic's video wall solutions and supports layouts of up to 3 x 3 panels as well as 3 x 1 configurations. The data points to 3 x 1 signage in hotel lobbies or retail spaces and 3 x 3 information displays in airports and transit hubs. The wider solution includes a modular mounting frame and auto colour calibration, so include them in the quote.

Can the switcher be controlled remotely?

Yes. It offers in-browser control from a PC or tablet, RS-232C control through SERIAL IN, a parallel REMOTE IN port and a LAN port that is PJLink compatible. Front-panel On and Standby buttons control individual displays. A university control room can manage several rooms from one screen without visiting each rack.

Can it send sound to an amplifier when the projector is off?

Yes. The separate AUDIO OUT facilitates audio playback when the projector is powered down, and the audio can be routed to a sound system for amplification. The output is listed as variable, so set the level with the audio engineer on site. This is useful in a hotel ballroom or a lecture hall where the PA runs during breaks.

What power does it need and how much does it use?

It draws 32 W including the adaptor and 0.15 W with power off. The supplied AC adaptor accepts 100 V to 240 V AC and outputs DC 16 V at 3.75 A. Three 2 m power cords are supplied, so confirm their plug type matches the sockets at your site before installation. No Signal Sleep Mode also reduces power use when no input is present.

Can it be installed in a hot plant room or outdoor kiosk?

Not without air conditioning. The operating temperature is 0 to 40 °C and humidity must stay between 20 and 80 percent without condensation. Summer temperatures in Qatar exceed 45 °C, so place the switcher in an air-conditioned comms room or rack, and confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before positioning it near glazing or dusty entrances.

Does it fit a standard equipment rack?

It is a half-rack unit measuring 210 x 44 x 250 mm, not including protruding parts, and weighs approximately 1.3 kg. Two mounting brackets for EIA server rack installation, countersunk screws and four legs are supplied, so it can be rack-mounted or placed on a desk. Allow depth for cable bend radius and airflow at the rear.

How do I order the ET-YFB200G through SmartRooms Qatar?

Send the number of displays, source types, cable route lengths and installation address, and request a quote. The SmartRooms Qatar team usually responds within one working day. We accept purchase orders and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Delivery covers all eight municipalities, and the site survey is free.
