Compatible with the following units: - DJI RS control unit Pro (wired LAN version) - DJI RS control unit LIGHT (wired LAN version) - DJI RS control unit LANC compatible version (wired LAN version) - MP-101 control unit (wired LAN version) Not compatible with wireless variants or VISCA over IP PTZ cameras. ## Control Features **Right Joystick:** Pan / Tilt **Left Joystick:** Zoom / Roll **LANC Cameras:** Iris control and menu navigation supported **Firmware Integration:** With RS Intelligent Tracking Module + firmware v4.2+, “Active Track” can be triggered direct --- ## Getting Started 1. Connect the remote controller via Ethernet to the target control unit (e.g., DJI RS unit) using a straight or crossover cable (since Auto-MDI/MDI-X isn’t supported). 2. Provide power: use** 5-12V adapter or Micro-USB 5V.** 3. Configure IP address and default route via the remote controller’s Web UI if operating across router boundaries. 4. Use right joystick for pan/tilt, left joystick for zoom/roll. For LANC-compatible camcorders, iris/menu operations supported. --- ## Network Specifications - **Communication:** TCP/IP (UDP-based control) - **Supported Links:** 100BASE-TX / 10BASE-T - **Auto-MDI/MDI-X:Not supported** - For direct connection: requires a crossover cable or crossover adapter - **Maximum Distance:** - Up to **100 m** over a single cable - Up to **205 m** using two repeater hubs - Even further when using fiber media converters - **IP Routing:** - For control across routers/subnets, both the remote controller and target unit must configure IP + default route via built-in Web UI. This is highly advantageous in large-scale venues such as theaters, broadcast studios, and event halls where long-distance cabling is required. --- ## Power Specifications - **Input:** 5–12 V DC (barrel jack 5.5 mm / 2.1 mm, center-positive) - **Alternative Power:** 5 V Micro-USB --- ## 🧠Engineering - Focused Insights **Dual-Joystick Architecture:** Independent pan/tilt and zoom/roll input improves operator ergonomics and precision. **Wired LAN Control:** Designed intentionally for broadcast studios, event halls, and RF-noisy environments where wireless links are unreliable. **No Auto-MDI/MDI-X:** Indicates a simplified PHY design—relevant when planning cable topology for installation. **Extended Range:** 100 m standard reach aligns with Ethernet norms; 205 m with two repeaters provides flexibility for large venues. **Multi-Unit Switching:** One controller can operate up to **four devices**, which is valuable in multi-camera robotic setups. **Firmware-Level Integration (Active Track):** Shows tight coupling with DJI’s RS ecosystem—hardware input mapped to high-level camera automation. --- ## 📘 Reference Links **DJI RS Control Unit (Wired LAN ver.) – Renewal** → [https://maker.wiznet.io/bruno/projects/product-updatedji-rs-control-unit-renewal/](https://maker.wiznet.io/bruno/projects/product-updatedji-rs-control-unit-renewal/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Status: Updated **Small Joystick Remote Controller (Wired LAN ver.)** → Status: Released --- ## 🏷️ TAGS #PTZ #JoystickController #WiredLAN #LiveStreamingGear #BroadcastEngineering #Project92 #DJI_Ronin #MultiCameraControl #W5500 --- Source: https://maker.wiznet.io/irina/resellers/project92-com-ptz-remote/
