Add precise distance measurement to your subject for more accurate focus pulls with this TOF.1 Precision Infrared Laser Range Finder when using the Teradek RT MDR.X receiver with either the CTRL.1 or CTRL.3 controller. The compact TOF.1 is small enough to mount onto your rig alongside the MDR.X unit, and it features a NATO rail and 1/4"-20 thread mounting options. A detachable laser sight is included to provide a red visual target for your focus puller, which is calibrated to the centered with the TOF.1 field of view. The TOF.1 is powered and controlled using a single 4-pin motor cable, which is also included.

The TOF.1 plugs into the MDR.X unit using the included 4-pin motor cable, which enables it to transmit distance information measured with infrared LEDs from the camera to your CTRL.1 or CTRL.3 controller. Using a serial/AUX connection to a compatible SmallHD monitor using its Rangefinder Overlay feature, you can also view the distance information transmitted to the controller right on the display. The TOF.1 has a 3° detection radius measured at your range to the target, which means a target 16' away will have a detection diameter of 10". Range detection is easily calibrated using the MDR.X controller menu system. Other features include a smoothing algorithm to reduce jitter, a range up to 100', and a refresh rate of up to 60x per second.

The TOF.1 data is also compatible with SmallHD monitors with PageOS 4 software, allowing you to update your CTRL.1 or CTRL.3 with the RT overlay option to read the distance data right on your SmallHD monitor.

Q: 1. I see that the module protrude out, wondering if it's compatible with the B1 Tilta cage

A: While you may be able to attach the Teradek RT ACI Module for RED DSMC2 (B&H# TE101322) to the Tilta Camera Cage B1 for RED DSMC2 Camera (V-Mount) (B&H# TIESRT01B1V), some may find doing so non intuitive and indeed the manufacturer has not suggested that it fits. It will not satisfy all camera operators, but it may fit to the satisfaction of some. The main issue is the attachment method, something a reviewer has commented on.

Q: 2. Can the Serv Micro stream to receivers using RTSP?

A: No, the Teradek Serv Micro cannot be used that way as it relies on the free Teradek VUER app to stream.

Q: 3. does this accessory connect directly to a red DSMC2 camera (to control the focus) or do I need another product?

A: The Teradek RT Thumbwheel S Standard Wired Controller connects directly only to other Teradek products.

Q: 4. Is it compatible with wooden camera top and bottom plates?

A: This device connects directly to the RED DSMC2 Camera's Right Side. It should still work with a top and bottom plate on the camera, it would just depend on the exact model of plates and how they sit on the camera.
