DJI Transmission Combo

 

Features

 

Vision Beyond Boundaries

DJI Transmission evolves from the established DJI aerial video transmission technology, delivering an integrated solution that combines a video receiver, monitor, controller, and recorder. It is designed for native integration with Ronin-series products and DJI Master Wheels, transforming the industry with a groundbreaking transmission experience that provides vision beyond boundaries.

 

 

Transmission Performance

 

Long-Distance HD Live Feed

DJI Transmission incorporates O3 Pro video transmission technology, which offers an incredible 6km/20,000ft [1] on-ground transmission distance. It also supports transmission at 1080p/60fps with a max bitrate of 50Mbps as well as live audio monitoring at 16-bit 48 kHz, providing crews on large sets with an excellent remote visual and audio monitoring experience.

 

End-to-End Ultra-Low Latency

The video transmitter and receiver use the same chip solution as Ronin 4D, with every link explicitly optimized to provide end-to-end ultra-low transmission latency when pairing with cinema cameras like ALEXA Mini LF.

 

Seamless Auto Frequency Hopping

O3 Pro adds DFS bands on top of the traditional 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands, offering up to 23 channel options that provide professional crews with more compliant and interference-free transmission channels. In addition, DJI Transmission supports triple-band automatic frequency hopping, which automatically scans the electromagnetic environment for the best wireless channel.

With a built-in frequency sweeper, users can even manually select the optimal channel to avoid interference between devices.

By mounting high-gain antennas, [2] transmission capability is further boosted.

 

One Transmitter with Multiple Receivers

The High-Bright Remote Monitor supports one transmitter with multiple receivers for video and audio feeds in two transmission modes. In Control mode, DJI Transmission delivers optimal transmission performance. Monitoring can be done from two receivers at the same time, while Ronin 2, RS 3 Pro, and camera focus can all be controlled remotely.

For crews operating with multiple members and teams, such as lighting, art department, and props, Broadcast mode can be enabled on top of Control mode to allow an unlimited number of receivers (transmission performance differs from Control mode). This brings shooting efficiency and awareness to an entirely new level.

In dynamic, multi-team environments such as reality television sets, DJI’s unique transmission protocol can make better use of wireless channels. With DFS bands and seamless automatic frequency hopping technology, DJI Transmission can operate with 20 or more transmitters sending signals to 20 or more monitors simultaneously. This results in a smooth, coordinated experience that's difficult to achieve with traditional transmission setups.

 

Encrypted Transmission

DJI Transmission supports secure pairing and AES 256-bit encryption to protect against unauthorized access to your information. Together with DJI’s self-developed chip and transmission protocol, DJI Transmission is able to ensure the highest level of security for your footage.

 

 

Monitoring Experience

 

Integrated Design

Compared with conventional solutions, DJI Transmission integrates a high-bright monitor with a built-in receiver, providing optimum portability and efficient setup to help you get started fast in any setting.

The remote monitor comes with a built-in image processing chip that is the same as the one used on Ronin 4D. This allows it to offer many features in addition to monitoring for integrated and efficient receiving, monitoring, control, and recording.

 

Wide-Gamut Touchscreen

The High-Bright Remote Monitor is equipped with a 7-inch wide-gamut touchscreen with a brightness of up to 1,500 nits. It comes standard with a tempered glass screen protector and professional monitor hood to deliver rich, true-to-life colors, even in strong lighting conditions. With a 1920×1200 resolution, the screen displays a non-intrusive interface (OSD), with visible details like shooting parameters to ensure easily accessible information and seamless monitoring.

 

Supportive Tools

The remote monitor comes with supportive tools like safe zone, frame guide, zebra stripes, false color, peaking, and waveform for precise composition, exposure, and focusing.

 

Independent Recording and Playback

The remote monitor also features a microSD card slot and allows for recording and playback of a 1080p/60fps H.264 live feed, as well as simultaneous access to video timecodes, making it easy to edit proxies right on set. When several remote monitors are used in conjunction, each monitor can even record or playback footage independently without interfering with other monitors.

 

 

Expansive Control Options

 

Built-In Motion Controller

The High-Bright Remote Monitor has a built-in gyroscopic sensor that enables it to act as a standalone motion controller for Ronin 2 or RS 3 Pro without the need for additional accessories. This allows users to achieve more complex camera movements from a moving vehicle or with a jib.

 

Compatible with Ronin 4D Hand Grips

The High-Bright Remote Monitor comes with an expansion-protective frame. When using with Ronin 4D Hand Grips, [2] the joystick can control the Ronin 2 or RS 3 Pro gimbal, and the focus wheel can control focusing and the adjustment of camera parameters like aperture, shutter, and ISO, while the record button controls start/stop of recording, [3] making the RS 3 Pro user experience similar to that of Ronin 4D.

 

Compatible with DJI Master Wheels and DJI Force Pro

When used with the DJI Master Wheels or DJI Force Pro, [4] the remote monitor allows users to achieve more advanced gimbal control when using Ronin 2 or RS 3 Pro. In this scenario, the original equipment will transmit control signals directly through DJI Transmission, no longer utilizing the wireless signals from DJI Master Wheels or DJI Force Pro. This boosts the transmission performance by three times and enhances signal range, stability, and anti-interference capabilities.

 

Mirror Control Mode

When RS 3 Pro is mounted to jibs, cable cams, and vehicles, with Mirror Control mode, [5] you can remotely control the menu of Sony mirrorless cameras from anywhere on set.
