Teradek Showcases RT CTRL.5 3-Axis Wireless Lens Controller at IBC 2024

An interview from the 2024 IBC Show with Brian Aichlmayr at the Teradek Booth. Teradek designs and manufactures high performance video solutions for broadcast, cinema, and general imaging applications. From wireless monitoring, color correction, and lens control, to live streaming, SaaS solutions, and IP video distribution, Teradek technology is used around the world by professionals and amateurs alike to capture and share compelling content.

CTRL.5 is an infinitely-customizable control platform, evolved from SmallHD’s PageOS software. CTRL.5 runs CTRL.OS, a powerful architecture enabling rich user access to real-time data from multiple on- set devices - all built into a 2000nit panel.

Facilitate precise lens control with your RT motors and receivers with the Teradek CTRL.5 3-Axis Wireless Lens Controller and its intuitive focus, iris, or zoom control. Multiple forms of communication integrated into the CTRL.5 allow for a wireless range of 5000' with compatible RT devices or 500' via 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 6. Direct connection to a monitor or camera can be achieved using the 5-pin USB and 4-pin AUX ports on the back of the device. The onboard touchscreen and upgraded operating system add to the expanded user interface.

Thanks to the implementation of CTRL.OS, the CTRL.5 is capable of compiling real-time data from multiple connected devices simultaneously. An expandable optics library allows you to build out lens and filter kits and sync them to a cloud library for easy recall. CTRL.OS builds on the previous SmallHD and Teradek integrations for camera control with RED, ARRI, Sony, and other major brands.

Use the 5-pin USB and 4-Pin AUX ports to connect the unit directly to monitors or cameras of your choice. An NP-F/L-series battery plate supports power from compatible sources with 6 to 28V outputs. Multiple 1/4"-20 anti-twist mounting threads can secure the CTRL.5 to your camera rig or director's monitor setup, while neck and hand strap slots offer additional options.
