Data version 6d29e2f86993, built 2026-10-26; facts on this page checked 2026-10-21 to 2026-10-23.

The workflows [Teradek MDR.S](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/products/prod.mdr-s.md) serves, how well it fits each, which slot it fills, and what else is needed.

## Core (1)

- MDR.S in [Wireless focus/iris/zoom (FIZ) lens control (draft: corrections pending)](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-14.md): fit core, role Lens control receiver: Camera-mounted receiver that drives up to 3 motors (focus, iris, zoom).; Small and light enough for gimbal-mounted cameras and drones (vendor statement); no independent drone or gimbal case study found for MDR.S itself., slot 3. receive, 1 per camera. Caveat: Range 1500 m (5000 ft, vendor) line-of-sight in USA/FCC mode, 150 m (500 ft, vendor) indoors; 2.4 GHz FHSS; the cited pages give no EU/CE-mode range. 5-28 V power input. \| Venue variant of the same job; vendor claim only for drones. Not a separate workflow. \| Requires (as stated): handset + motor \| Merged variants: variant quantity: 1 per gimbal/remote camera Also needed: [Teradek RT CTRL.1 Single-Channel Hand Controller](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/products/prod.ctrl-1-single-channel-lens-controller.md), [Teradek RT CTRL.3 - Three-axis Wireless Lens Controller](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/products/prod.ctrl-3-three-axis-wireless-lens-controller.md), [Teradek RT CTRL.5 Wireless Lens Controller](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/products/prod.ctrl-5.md), [Teradek MOTR.S](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/api/third-party/tp.teradek.motr-s), [Teradek MOTR.X](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/api/third-party/tp.teradek.motr-x). Confidence: high.
## Optional (1)

- MDR.S in [Wireless camera control and live color](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-10.md): fit optional, role Camera control data link: Camera port gives run/stop from the hand unit; RED DSMC2 control of EF/AF focus/iris, shutter, ISO listed in the guide for MDR.X., slot 3. receive, 1 per camera. Caveat: Run/stop and RED DSMC2 only; no colour, LUT or DIT path. Confidence: medium.
## Not suitable (6)

- MDR.S in [Camera-to-cloud dailies and proxies](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-12.md): fit not suitable. Why: Carries no video or IP stream, so it cannot be the video, encoder, decoder or cloud element of this workflow.
- MDR.S in [Cloud video village / remote review on set](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-11.md): fit not suitable. Why: Carries no video or IP stream, so it cannot be the video, encoder, decoder or cloud element of this workflow.
- MDR.S in [ENG / breaking news live shot](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-01.md): fit not suitable. Why: Carries no video or IP stream, so it cannot be the video, encoder, decoder or cloud element of this workflow.
- MDR.S in [Live post review (editorial, HDR color)](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-13.md): fit not suitable. Why: Carries no video or IP stream, so it cannot be the video, encoder, decoder or cloud element of this workflow.
- MDR.S in [RF camera for live sports / IMAG](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-03.md): fit not suitable. Why: Carries no video or IP stream, so it cannot be the video, encoder, decoder or cloud element of this workflow.
- MDR.S in [UAV / public safety situational awareness (draft: corrections pending)](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-08.md): fit not suitable. Why: WF-08 is video from an encoder on a UAV or vehicle to a command centre. This product carries no video; its drone/gimbal mention only says the receiver is small enough to mount on such rigs.
