Introduction
The DJITM Video Receiver features DJI O3 Pro video transmission and receives video signals from the transmitter. In an environment without interference or obstruction, the video receiver provides video transmission with a maximum transmission range of 6 km*, a bitrate of up to 40 Mbps, and a minimum end-to- end latency of 70 ms. It supports multiple frequency bands in both Control and Broadcast modes and simultaneously outputs multiple video signals to display devices for remote monitoring. When used with the DJI Video Transmitter or DJI Ronin 4D Video Transmitter, the video receiver can meet the filming requirements of mediums such as movies, TV series, advertisements, and documentaries.

Linking
The video receiver must be linked to the transmitter device before use. The
video transmission system of the video receiver offers Control mode and
Broadcast mode for connection between the video receiver and transmitter
device, which use different linking methods. Refer to the following section
for instructions and linking status indicator descriptions.
Control Mode
In Control mode (with Broadcast mode in the transmitter device disabled), the video transmission system has a longer transmission distance, stronger anti- interference, and more selectable channels. The transmitter device can also receive the control signal from the video receiver when connecting a DJI Pro accessory, such as the DJI Master Wheels to the video receiver for remote control.
-
Power on the video receiver. Press the menu dial on the video receiver to enter the menu.
-
Press the dial to enter the Connect menu, turn the dial to select Control in the menu, and press the dial to confirm. Select to set the video receiver to Control A or Control B and press the dial again to confirm. The display screen shows Linking and the linking status indicator blinks red and green alternately, indicating the device is linking.
- If the video receiver is in Control mode and is set to the desired Control A or Control B, press and hold the menu dial directly to enter linking.
- If two video receivers will be connected to the same transmitter device, link with the Control A video receiver first and then link with the Control B video receiver.
-
Using DJI Video Transmitter:
-
