DJI Malaysia has launched the DJI SDR Transmission 2, an all-new video transmission system built on an upgraded software defined radio (SDR) platform.
Featuring DCI 4K/60fps 10-bit HDR at up to 50Mbps bitrate, 35ms low latency¹ and up to 4km transmission range, it delivers a high-bitrate, low-latency, professional-grade on-set monitoring experience, even on crowded sets with signals from multiple devices crisscrossing.
For users who already own DJI’s professional range of Ronin products, the device is compatible with RS gimbals, Ronin 2 and Master Wheels².
Integrated Transmitter-Receiver Design in a Lightweight Body
With an integrated transmitter-receiver design, each transceiver unit can quickly switch roles depending on the on-set environment, removing the need to plan the transmitter-to-receiver ratio in advance.
This greatly improves device utilisation and flexibly adapts to ever-changing on-set needs. The lightweight main unit weighs approximately 136 g, reducing the payload on handheld stabilisers and easily mounting to a wide range of cameras and cinema cameras.
An optional expansion board adds an SDI port, an HDMI video port and four USB-C ports, and supports SDI metadata pass-through for mainstream cinema cameras. For outdoor environments such as car mounts, an optional cage provides rugged physical protection along with abundant mounting points and cable anti-detachment design.
One Transmitter, Eight-Way Control for Seamless Multi-Camera Collaboration
A single transceiver (in TX mode) can connect to up to eight transceivers (in RX mode), each supporting remote control. This not only meets the HD monitoring needs of directors and directors of photography, but also lets camera operators and focus pullers remotely adjust settings and control the camera.
For larger productions, the system supports up to five transmitters and 40 receivers working simultaneously, so multi-camera feeds are distributed reliably in complex on-set environments with no compromise on 4K image quality.
Smarter Frequency Management, Stronger Interference Resistance
Built from the ground up for multi-camera setups, the all-new Auto Channel 2.01 lets DJI SDR Transmission 2 units recognise each other and intelligently allocate frequency bands, reducing manual planning.
Paired with more accurate frequency-scan readouts and channel-conflict diagnostics, the devices can seamlessly hop frequencies based on the on-site environment. Even amid complex interference at close range, multiple transceivers (in TX mode) groups working on the same set can maintain stable, smooth video transmission.
Next Generation SDR
The SDR Transmission 2 transmits DCI 4K/60fps, 10-bit HDR, and H.265 video at bitrates up to 50 Mbps 1 resulting in rich detail, smooth colour transitions. It produces clear highlights and shadows, with consistent image quality across multiple cameras.
With a video transmission reaching up to 4 km, a reliable link can be established in various environments from open stadiums to dense mountain forests, and through demanding car-to-car shots or challenging FPV drone work.
Furthermore, with latency staying as low as 35 ms1, monitoring and remote commands, like focus pull and gimbal movement, can be kept responsive.
