DJI Transmission (Standard Combo)

 

Features

A New Era Transmission Performance

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.

 

Long-Distance HD Live Feed

DJI Transmission incorporates O3 Pro video transmission technology, which offers an incredible 6km/20,000ft 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, transmission capability is further boosted.

 

 

One Transmitter with Multiple Receivers

Both the High-Bright Remote Monitor and the Video Receiver support one transmitter with multiple receivers for video and audio feeds in two transmission modes. The default Broadcast mode allows an unlimited number of receivers, convenient for real-time monitoring by multiple teams such as lighting, art department, and makeup on sets with large crews, and a live feed's bitrate and input feed's video codecs can be displayed in real-time as well. If you want to switch camera index for monitoring, simply select the corresponding index without having to check the transmission channel, which greatly enhances the shooting efficiency.

To connect to DJI Master Wheels or other control devices, select Control mode on the High-Bright Remote Monitor or the Video Receiver and pair it with the Video Transmitter. Then, Ronin 2, RS 3 Pro, and camera focus can all be controlled remotely on up to two receiving ends while not affecting other devices connected via Broadcast mode. In addition, the Video Receiver supports voice calls for real-time, one-on-one, ultra-long-distance voice transmission, providing seamless communication between the cinematographer and the director or client.

 

Transmission of Metadata

The DJI Video Receiver supports camera metadata transmission via SDI. When used with ARRI, RED, and other mainstream cinema cameras, it can transmit file name, timecode, recording trigger, camera settings (aperture, focal length, etc.), and lens information (aperture, focal length) from the receiver to monitors and QTAKE, allowing directors, cinematographers, and DIT teams to receive detailed shooting information on set.

 

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.

 

 

Works with the DJI Ecosystem Expansive Control Options

High-Bright Remote Monitor With 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, 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, making the RS 3 Pro user experience similar to that of Ronin 4D.

 

Compatible with DJI Master Wheels and DJI Force Pro

Both the Video Receiver and the High-Bright Remote Monitor can be used with DJI Master Wheels, 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, with no need for additional mounting of antennas on DJI Master Wheels. This boosts the transmission performance by three times and enhances signal range, stability, and anti-interference capabilities.

 

DJI LiDAR Range Finder (RS) to DJI Transmission Cable Hub

With the DJI LiDAR Range Finder (RS) to DJI Transmission Cable Hub, you can connect the DJI Video Transmitter to the DJI LiDAR Range Finder (RS) and DJI RS Focus Motor (2022) to experience an independent focusing and monitoring system, and achieve lens calibration and autofocus with a manual lens without the need for connecting to RS 3 Pro. Connect it to the Ronin 4D Hand Grips, and you will have LiDAR waveform to facilitate precision manual focusing.

Additionally, when connecting to DJI RS 3 Pro, it gives you an entire set of shooting solutions that integrates stabilization, remote monitoring, gimbal control, and LiDAR focusing.

 

Mirror Control Mode

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

Tips

What should I pay attention to when there are multiple camera positions in the setting?
1. Ensure that all DJI Video Transmitters are applying the same broadcast image quality (e.g., all set to HD or Smooth); otherwise, there may be interference issues during use.
2. Avoid using adjacent channels (e.g., use Channel 1, 3, and 5), and it is suggested that the broadcast image quality be set to Smooth on the DJI Video Transmitter to allow for more channels.

What should I do if DJI Transmission interferes with other wireless devices?
1. When using several DJI Video Transmitters or wireless devices (e.g., Inspire 3 remote controller, or audio transmitter or receiver) at the same time, keep a distance of at least one meter between video transmitters and wireless devices to avoid signal interference.
2. When using several DJI Video Transmitters or wireless devices (e.g., Inspire 3 remote controller, or audio transmitter or receiver) at the same time, switch the channel on the video transmitter to DFS channel (users must check vacancy*) to avoid conflict and get better transmission quality.

* In manual mode, checking DFS channel vacancy takes approximately one minute.

How do I improve the anti-interference performance of DJI Transmission?
1. When there are two or fewer DJI Video Transmitters and each transmitter has linked with no more than two receivers, Control mode is recommended with channel mode set to "Auto."
2. When using a DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor, check channel quality on the monitor and prioritize channels with higher green columns and smaller channel numbers. When using a DJI Video Receiver, choose channels marked with a green dot.
3. Avoid using adjacent channels. If there are not enough channels available, select Smooth mode on the DJI Video Transmitter.
4. It is recommended to have all of the DJI Video Transmitters apply the same broadcast image quality (e.g., all set to HD or Smooth).
5. Increase the height of the transmitters and receivers above the ground and place them vertically in relation to the ground.
6. Use high-gain antennas.

What scenarios are recommended for Control mode and Broadcast mode, respectively?
When there are many DJI Video Transmitters in use, it is recommended to use Broadcast mode, which allows for quick switches between different transmitters without limitations on the number of receivers.
If Broadcast mode cannot meet signal requirements, turn off Broadcast mode on the transmitter and enable Control mode. In Control mode, DFS channels are available, which can be used in conjunction with DJI Master Wheels, DJI Three-Channel Follow Focus, and the Ronin 4D Hand Grips. Additionally, with Broadcast mode disabled, Control mode provides extended transmission distance, stronger anti-interference performance, dynamic bitrate adjustments, and seamless auto frequency hopping. When a DJI Video Transmitter is used with a DJI Video Receiver, the voice call function is also available.

(Note: Transmission power is higher in Control mode. Keep a distance of at least one meter between the transmitter and receivers at different positions to avoid interference.)

After enabling Broadcast mode, how do I set the broadcast image quality for optimal video transmission?
When using Broadcast mode, you can set the broadcast image quality on the DJI Video Transmitter according to the scenario requirements to achieve optimal transmission. In HD mode, the transmission bitrate is 40Mb with higher live feed quality but fewer available channels. In Smooth mode, the transmission bitrate is 20Mb with lower video quality but more available channels. When using multiple DJI Video Transmitters simultaneously, if interference occurs, it is recommended to set the broadcast image quality to Smooth mode and avoid using adjacent channels to prevent interference.
