Teradek’s Latest Innovation: The CTRL.5
Teradek has unveiled its forthcoming CTRL.5, a fully customizable FIZ controller equipped with an operating system heavily influenced by SmallHD’s PageOS software. This advanced controller offers an RF range of up to 5,000 feet line of sight and incorporates the same display as SmallHD 5” Monitors.
The CTRL.5 operates on CTRL.OS, providing users with access to real-time data from various on-set devices, all integrated into a 2000nit panel.
User Customization and Compatibility
The CTRL.5 features 11 programmable quick-action user buttons and a touchscreen UI, offering a personal and flexible setup. The CTRL.OS camera control builds upon the integrations of SmallHD and Teradek with RED, ARRI, Sony, and more. A unique feature of the CTRL.5 is its ability to display a live video feed from select Teradek TX units, a feature not seen before.
Users can create lens and filter kits per prep and sync them to a cloud library, all within the CTRL.OS. The CTRL.5 is also compatible with all previous Teradek RT devices, including the Latitude MDR MK3.1, Motor MK3.1, and Handset 3.1.
Connectivity and Auto Focus Support
The CTRL.5 can be connected to a SmallHD monitor via the 5-pin USB port on the controller. It is compatible with the CineRT, CineTape, TOF.1, and Moon Smart Focus. The CTRL.5 also supports autofocus using TOF.1 or third-party rangefinders.
As of now, there is no information available about the pricing or availability of the Teradek CTRL.5.
