1.1 Introduction
DJITM SDR Transmission is a wireless transmission system featuring DJI SDR
video transmission technology. DJI SDR Transmission features modes such as SDR
mode and Wi-Fi mode, offering you a more cost-effective monitoring solution.
Control mode and Broadcast mode are supported using SDR signal transmission.
In Control mode, you can connect one transmitter to two receivers, allowing
seamless auto frequency hopping and dynamic bitrate adjustments, which ensure
ultra-long-range transmission and strong interference resistance. In Broadcast
mode, you can connect one transmitter to an unlimited number of receivers,
allowing multiple receivers to monitor within a close range simultaneously.
Wi-Fi mode allows one transmitter to connect up to two mobile devices at the
same time, which is suitable for temporary monitoring. In addition to
connecting to the monitor via HDMI and SDI ports, DJI SDR Transmission also
supports connecting mobile devices via USB-C port or Wi-Fi and monitoring via
the Ronin app. The Ronin app also provides professional monitoring assistance
tools and supports functions such as gimbal control and camera control. You

Using One Transmitter with No more than two receivers:
Multiple Receivers
It is recommended to disable Broadcast mode, link in
Control mode, and set the SDR channel to AUTO.
Two receivers in Control mode should maintain a distance of more than 0.3 meters from each other.
More than two receivers: It is recommended to enable Broadcast mode and manually select a channel. You can start by connecting one receiver and, based on its channel quality indicator, prioritize channels with a lower number that offer superior quality.
Using Multiple Transmitters with Multiple Receivers
Each transmitter is paired with no more than two receivers: It is recommended to disable Broadcast mode, link in Control mode, and manually select a channel.
Receivers in Control mode should maintain a distance of more than 0.3 meters from each other.
Each transmitter is paired with more than two receivers: It is recommended to enable Broadcast mode and manually select a channel. You can start by connecting one receiver and, based on its channel quality indicator, prioritize channels with a lower number that offer superior quality.

the camera in real time. The back of the tablet clamp is equipped with several
1/4″ screw holes for mounting extended handles. Installation 1. Loosen the
screw on the tablet clamp and open the clamp. 26 © 2024 DJI All Rights

2. Place the tablet into the center of the clamp , and then tighten the screw
. 3. Mount the receiver to the tablet holder and tighten the screw on the
bottom of the
receiver. 4. Unfold the stand . Use the RX to phone connection cable (USB-C to
USB-C) to
connect the tablet to the USB-C firmware update and video output port of the
receiver.
The stand of the tablet holder only supports unfolding to a fixed position
(approximately 60°) and does not support angle adjustment. DO NOT adjust the
angle of the stand with force to avoid causing damage to the structure of the
holder.
