Take your video projects to the next level with the DJI SDR Transmission Receiver (RX) — a compact, reliable solution for smooth wireless video monitoring on set. Designed for filmmakers, content creators, and advanced hobbyists, this receiver delivers stable long-range transmission, low-latency monitoring, and flexible connectivity for a wide range of shooting scenarios. Whether you're building a mobile monitoring setup or coordinating a larger crew, the DJI SDR Transmission Receiver helps keep your workflow fast, clear, and under control.

The DJI SDR Transmission Receiver can send video signals to external monitors via SDI and HDMI, while also supporting USB-C video monitoring for direct use with a smartphone or tablet. With transmission range reaching up to 3 km, it offers dependable signal stability for demanding shoots. Minimal delay ensures a more responsive viewing experience, making it easier to monitor footage live and react quickly on set.

Weighing only around 145 g, the receiver is easy to carry and integrate into mobile production setups. Its foldable antennas improve portability and make storage simpler, while multiple mounting options give you the flexibility needed for different filming environments — from solo creator setups to more advanced crew work.

Built around Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology, the receiver provides stable, interference-resistant video transmission. It supports 1080p at 60 fps and a maximum bitrate of up to 20 Mbps, helping ensure fluid image monitoring and efficient collaboration during shoots.

In Broadcast mode, each transmitter from the Transmission system can connect to an unlimited number of receivers. This makes the system a great fit for productions where multiple crew members need to monitor the same image at the same time. Please note: this set does not include a transmitter.

The receiver supports metadata transmission from professional cinema cameras such as ARRI and RED via SDI, giving the crew quick access to valuable shot information. The system also supports simultaneous voice communication between the transmitter and receiver, helping improve coordination and teamwork during recording.

The DJI SDR Transmission Receiver is fully compatible with the DJI Ronin app, unlocking additional monitoring and control features. Users can access professional tools such as LUTs, peaking, waveform, and false color for better on-set image evaluation. The app also supports local recording and playback, plus convenient transmission channel management and signal quality monitoring.
