Upgraded SDR platform delivers a major leap in interference resistance, image quality and transmission range
.jpeg)
DJI Malaysia has introduced the DJI SDR Transmission 2, a new video transmission system built around an upgraded software defined radio (SDR) platform. Designed for professional on-set monitoring, the system supports DCI 4K/60fps 10-bit HDR video at bitrates of up to 50Mbps, latency as low as 35ms[1] and a transmission range of up to 4km.
The system is designed to maintain a high-bitrate, low-latency monitoring experience even on busy sets where signals from multiple devices may be operating at the same time. It is also compatible with DJI's professional Ronin ecosystem, including RS gimbals, Ronin 2 and Master Wheels.[2]
A Flexible Transmitter-Receiver Design in a Lightweight Body
Rather than relying on separate fixed transmitters and receivers, each DJI SDR Transmission 2 transceiver can switch between transmitter and receiver roles according to the requirements of the set. This removes the need to determine the transmitter-to-receiver ratio beforehand, while allowing the same units to be adapted as production requirements change.
The main unit weighs approximately 136 g, helping to minimise the additional payload when used with handheld stabilisers while allowing it to be mounted on a variety of cameras and cinema cameras.
For productions that require additional connectivity, an optional expansion board adds an SDI port, an HDMI video port and four USB-C ports. It also supports SDI metadata pass-through for mainstream cinema cameras. For more demanding outdoor applications, including car-mounted setups, an optional cage provides added physical protection, additional mounting points and a cable anti-detachment design.
Supporting Multi-Camera Productions with Up to Eight Receivers
A single transceiver operating in TX mode can connect with as many as eight transceivers in RX mode, with each receiver supporting remote control. This allows directors and directors of photography to monitor HD feeds while camera operators and focus pullers can remotely adjust settings and control the camera.
The system can also scale for larger productions, supporting up to five transmitters and 40 receivers operating simultaneously. This enables multiple camera feeds to be distributed across more complex production environments while retaining 4K image quality.[1]
Smarter Frequency Management for Busy Sets
DJI has also introduced Auto Channel 2.0[1], developed specifically with multi-camera setups in mind. The feature enables DJI SDR Transmission 2 units to recognise one another and intelligently allocate frequency bands, reducing the amount of manual frequency planning required on set.
More accurate frequency-scan readouts and channel-conflict diagnostics help the system respond to conditions at the shooting location and switch frequencies when required. This is designed to keep video transmission stable and smooth even when several groups of transceivers operating in TX mode are working close together in an environment with complex interference.
Next-Generation SDR with 4K HDR Transmission
At the heart of the system is its upgraded SDR platform, capable of transmitting DCI 4K/60fps 10-bit HDR H.265 video at bitrates of up to 50Mbps.[1] This allows the system to retain detail, smooth colour transitions and clarity across highlights and shadows, while helping to maintain consistent image quality when working with multiple cameras.
Its transmission range extends up to 4km, allowing a reliable connection to be established across environments ranging from open stadiums to dense mountain forests, as well as demanding car-to-car filming and challenging FPV drone work.
With latency as low as 35ms,[1] monitoring and remote operations such as focus pulling and gimbal movements can remain responsive during production.
Faster Feed Switching and Professional Monitoring Tools
Switching between camera feeds has also been streamlined. Instead of going through the traditional process of rebooting, disconnecting, searching and re-pairing frequencies, users can switch between feeds directly from a transceiver operating in RX mode or through the DJI Ronin app.
The transceiver can output ultra-HD, low-latency video to professional monitors through SDI, HDMI or DP. It can also connect to a smartphone or tablet via USB-C for stable, high-bitrate mobile monitoring.
Within the DJI Ronin app, users have access to monitoring assist tools including LUT, focus peaking, waveform and false colour. The system also supports PTP control with compatible cameras, enabling users to view and adjust aperture, shutter speed and ISO, as well as trigger photo capture and video recording through the app. Cameras supporting CEC control can also access virtual menu functionality.
Multiple Ways to Power the System
DJI SDR Transmission 2 supports several power options to accommodate different on-set setups. It can be powered using industry-standard NP-F batteries supplying 6.8V to 8.4V or through standard PD-protocol chargers, with a USB-C output of 15V/3A for greater compatibility.
Users working with the DJI RS 5, RS 4, RS 4 Pro, RS 3 Pro, Ronin 2 or Master Wheels[2] can mount the transceiver directly onto the gimbal and power it from the same system, removing the need for a separate battery.
