Control Deck Manual

Collaboration

Control Deck, as well as the other products in the Control Ecosystem are the result of a collaboration between Ignite Digi and our friend Tad Errey (Signal Audio), who is based in Melbourne, Australia. Tad is the programming wizard that enables seemingly disparate products like DJI Transmission and Tilta Nucleus, to all play nice together! 🔥

Introduction

Welcome to the Control Deck Manual. This document is continuously updated as new functions, firmware and accompanying products are released. You can export this as a PDF via the â‹® in the top right. If possible, we recommend you reference the site though, as then it will never be out of date!

Where to start?

1

Ensure the firmware of your devices is up to date

2

Check the relevant flow diagram in overview

3

Check out the FAQ or get in touch if you're having issues

Mounts

Cheese Block Mounted to the back of Control Deck, you will find the Cheese Block. Designed for solid mounting to light stand or other baby pin (5/8" / 16mm) and hex pin spigots.

If you're not running the Pro-Workflow monitor mount, then use the top ¼”-20” or ⅜"-16” threaded holes with Pin-Locks to mount a monitor arm. If not using a stand, you can mount an Arca Swiss or similar tripod plate to the ¼”-20” or ⅜"-16” threaded holes underneath. This may not work, depending on battery plate choice.

FAQ

Control Deck FAQ

Does the High-Bright have the same or more range than RC Plus with Inspire 3?

In FCC mode, the High-Bright should have more range than the RC Plus, with higher gain in it's TX for control, plus the ability to separate the antennas and get them above head height. In CE/SRRC/MIC mode, they both have the same limits. In reality, we have found that the Inspire 3 throttles the transmission data rate to both RC Plus and High-bright simultaneously to keep connection. So you should have connection on both until you don't have any connection at all. Transmission info from DJI: RC Plus 2.4 GHz: <26 dBm (FCC), <20 dBm (CE/SRRC/MIC) 5.1 GHz (FPV camera video feed): <26 dBm (FCC), <23 dBm (CE/SRRC/MIC) 5.8 GHz: <26 dBm (FCC/SRRC), <14 dBm (CE)

High-Bright 2.4 GHz: <33 dBm (FCC), <20 dBm (CE/SRRC/MIC) 5.8 GHz: <33 dBm (FCC), <14 dBm (CE), <23 dBm (SRRC)

Ports

Underneath the Control Deck, showing battery plate (V-Mount, Gold Mount, TB50, TB51), rubber feet and serial number plate. The battery plates use a 3-pin Molex connector, making them user swappable.

6-PIN LEMO DC IN - 11-17V input for external powering of Control Deck and it's accessory ports. Wiring is the same as DJI Transmission and RED DSMC1/2/3 cameras, so if you have any D-tap or 4-pin XLR cables to those cameras, you can use on this port. It's also where the 90W AC Adapter plugs in!

USB-C 30W output This port is recessed to support the USB-C Gooseneck Flashlight, but it also is great for charging iPhones, iPads or even the pilot's RC Plus! Not every USB-C cable will fit into the recessed hole. DJI, Apple and other thin cables will work nicely.

6-PIN LEMO TRANSMISSION - 11-17V and CANBUS out for external powering and control data to the DJI High-Bright. Wiring is the same as DJI Transmission, so any male to female 6-pin 1B Lemo cable, made for DJI Transmission or Control Deck, will work.

7-PIN LEMO TILTA - 11-17V out and data for FIZBUSTER functionality. Only on Control Deck's with serial number #0100 and above have this. Plug in Tilta Nucleus-M I or II hand unit to Control Deck, allowing you to hand off FIZ to 1st AC. Alternatively, mount a Nucleus-M I (II motors don't work yet, Tilta have to do a firmware update) and use that as a wireless hub to connect hand unit via Tilta's 2.4ghz link. This port will output 11-17V to power the Nucleus-M Hand Unit, plus data connection between them.

2-PIN LEMO POWER - 11-17V out for powering accessories such as SmallHD monitor, where you may have given the 1st AC the DJI monitor for focus overlays. Rated up to 5 amp draw. Control Deck's with serial number #0100 and above you will have one 2-pin port. Control Deck's with serial number #0001 - #0099, you will have two 2-pin ports.

USB-C for computer connection - Data only, no power out This port connects to your computer, allowing firmware updates or to be used as a controller for applications like Cam Op Simulator. The small button above is to put the Controller into firmware flashing mode.

Menu when controlling: Ronin 4D / Inspire 3

This is in order as you will see it on the Control Deck when connected to a Ronin 4D or Inspire 3

Control Deck remembers it's previous settings when power cycling, or you reconnect to a device type. Example: Going between 4D and Ronin 2, any 4D specific settings will be remembered for when you connect back to it.

Focus Knob Cal.

Calibrate

This calibrates the focus knob on the Control Deck, not the FIZ motors! Turn the Focus Knob to each end gently until it says Complete. You may find it says Complete after just a partial movement, this is because it's tracking the endpoints in the background even when you're not in the menu. It will only calibrate for the full range of the knob.

Cable setup - Ronin 2

Transmitter ONLY

Required: 6-pin male to 6-pin Female 1B Lemo cable from DJI or Ignite Digi. Power and data. DJI High-Bright combo includes 1 x straight male to straight female cable which can be used. We sell a 10" cable straight to right angle (IG.100391, pictured below) which works really nicely for TX mounted to R2 Accessory mounts.


Focus Pro LiDAR Hub

Use IG.100539 cable to run from Ronin 2 Power Hub to the 7-pin 0B Lemo port on the side of the Focus Pro LiDAR Hub. This passes 14.4V power from the Ronin 2 to the LiDAR Hub/Transmission and control data back to the Ronin 2.


RS LiDAR Hub

Use IG.100474 cable to run from Ronin 2 Power Hub to the USB-C port on the side of the RS LiDAR Hub. This passes control data from LiDAR Hub/Transmission to the Ronin 2. To power, plug the D-tap of the LiDAR Hub into the R2->D-tap splitter that DJI include with the Ronin 2.
