Features: SDR Transmission, Stable & Anti-Interference Strong Penetration, Extended Transmission Distance High Bitrate, High Image Quality Innovative USB-C Monitoring Experience Broadcast Mode, Unlimited Number of Receivers Ronin Compatibility & Remote Control FAQ: General Does DJI SDR Transmission support channel quality monitoring? Yes. The receiver can display signal quality through indicator lights: green for strong signal strength, yellow for medium, and red for poor. In the Ronin app, the camera view can display a signal quality bar graph, with taller bars indicating better signal quality. What should I pay attention to when using DJI SDR Transmission in high-temperature environments?Ensure the environment is well-ventilated, avoid blocking any air vents, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Does DJI SDR Transmission support connecting with DJI Focus Pro for use?No. Does DJI SDR Transmission support monitoring using a smartphone or tablet?Yes A smartphone or tablet can connect to the receiver through the corresponding RX to Phone Connection Cable, which transmits the signal via SDR mode for enhanced stability and reliability. A smartphone or tablet can also connect directly to the transmitter via Wi-Fi without the need for an additional receiver. This is suitable for temporary monitoring and small-scale usage scenarios.If the transmitter's battery is replaced during a direct Wi-Fi connection, the app must be manually reconnected. For details on smartphones and tablets compatible with the Ronin app, please refer to the Ronin app compatibility list. Does DJI SDR Transmission support third-party antennas? No. Moreover, the antennas on DJI SDR Transmission are non-removable. Can DJI SDR Transmission be used simultaneously with other wireless devices, such as wireless microphones? When the transmitter auto-hops to a 2.4GHz channel or a 2.4GHz channel is selected manually, there may be interference with other wireless devices, including wireless microphones. In this case, manually selecting a non-2.4GHz channel is recommended. When selecting a channel, you can check the center frequency of the channel on the transmitter's main interface to confirm whether it is on the 2.4GHz frequency band. What are the battery specifications supported by DJI SDR Transmission? NP-F series batteries. Please note that due to differences in battery capacity and life span, the actual operating time may vary. Which Ronin ecosystem products are compatible with DJI SDR Transmission? When connected with devices such as RS 4 Pro, RS 4, and RS 3 Pro, DJI SDR Transmission can be powered through the gimbal and enables Force Mobile, virtual joystick, gimbal recentering, and more functions. Please note that when the DJI SDR Transmission Transmitter is connected to a stabilizer, the multi-camera control cable from the stabilizer's combo must be used, and ActiveTrack will not be available. Additionally, when the DJI SDR Transmission Transmitter is connected to a stabilizer via the adapter plate, a native vertical shooting setup is not supported. What camera functions can DJI SDR Transmission control? You can adjust parameters such as aperture, shutter, and ISO through a shutter release cable (subject to the camera system, with adjustment response times ranging from approximately 0.5 to 1 second), as well as trigger recording. Additionally, you can access a camera's Mirror Control mode through an HDMI cable.* The above features are only supported by some camera models. For details, please refer to the camera compatibility list (hyperlink)." What is the maximum number of cameras that DJI SDR Transmission can support simultaneously?Up to three cameras are recommended, but the specific number can be adjusted according to the on-site wireless environment. What is the purpose of the DFS channels on DJI SDR Transmission, and how do I set them up?DFS channels are utilized for their reduced interference and more stable signal connection. However, they can only be used after ensuring that there is no radar frequency band occupation in the environment. To use the DFS frequency band, make sure that at least one receiver is connected in Control mode. Then, go to the channel selection list in the transmitter or receiver menu and select one of the DFS channels. When all the receivers are in Broadcast mode, the DFS frequency band cannot be used. The number of DFS channels may vary by country or region. Please refer to the local laws and regulations. Does DJI SDR Transmission support linking with DJI Transmission for use?No. Furthermore, if DJI SDR Transmission and DJI Transmission are used at the same site, it is crucial to ensure that their central frequencies do not overlap. How do I use the Voice Call feature of DJI SDR Transmission?Select Control mode on the receiver and insert a 3.5mm headset with a microphone into both the transmitter and receiver. The volume for voice calls can be adjusted within the menu. This feature supports only one-on-one communication. Headset compatibility may vary, so some models could experience issues. For details, please refer to the headset compatibility list (hyperlink). Video Transmission Connection How many receivers can be connected? Under SDR mode, Control mode supports transmission to two devices, while Broadcast mode allows for an unlimited number of receivers.Under Wi-Fi mode, it supports dual-channel connection, and the devices will temporarily disconnect when switching channels. What connection methods does DJI SDR Transmission support? What usage scenarios are they suitable for? Under SDR mode, Control mode allows for stabilizer remote control, seamless auto frequency hopping, and stronger anti-interference capabilities. When the number of connected receivers does not exceed two, it is recommended to use Control mode and turn off Broadcast mode. Under SDR mode, Broadcast mode supports an unlimited number of receivers but compromises transmission range and bitrate when compared with Control Mode. It is suitable for scenarios like TVC shootings, where a short-distance connection to multiple receivers for monitoring is needed. Wi-Fi mode allows for direct connection via Wi-Fi without needing a receiver (after downloading the Ronin app). It is suitable for temporary monitoring with up to two terminals connected simultaneously. How do I obtain the channel frequency information for DJI SDR Transmission? You can download the channel and frequency table from the Downloads page on the official DJI website (hyperlink), or check the current channel frequency information on the transmitter's main interface. This information allows users to assign wireless channels efficiently on site. How do I set the channel on DJI SDR Transmission? Swipe up on the transmitter's main interface to select the channel. Swipe up on the receiver's main interface in Control mode to select the channel. Connect the receiver in Control mode to the Ronin app and select the channel within the app. * When Broadcast mode is enabled on the transmitter, users cannot set the SDR channel to Auto; some channels may not be usable if Outdoor mode is selected after powering on; and DFS channels cannot be selected if not connected in Control mode. Receiver Can the receiver output video from multiple ports simultaneously? Yes, the receiver can concurrently output video streams through the SDI port, HDMI port, and USB-C port. Can the receiver charge a smartphone or tablet when connected via cable? It can charge smartphones. However, due to limited charging power, when connected to tablets or certain smartphones, it can only slow down the rate at which the device's battery drains rather than charging it effectively. In The Box: DJI SDR Transmission Receiver (RX) Notes: The transmission performance values of SDR and Wi-Fi modes were measured in a controlled test environment. SDR mode's 3 km/10,000 ft transmission distance was measured in Control mode (with Broadcast mode turned off) with FCC compliance in an unobstructed, interference-free environment.2. Measured in Control mode, with Broadcast mode turned off.3. Measured when shooting 1080p/60fps video with Broadcast mode turned off without considering camera and screen display latency. If camera and screen display latency are included, the data is 80 ms.4. This feature is only available when the receiver is connected in Control mode.5.
