WRS COMPONENTS

Wireless Main Unit 3 (WMU-3)

The Wireless Main Unit is the heart of the ARRI Wireless Remote System. It accepts the hand controllers for focus and iris (WFU-1, WFU-3), zoom (WZU-1, WZU-3), camera remote control (WRC-1), the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP) and it communicates with the camera. Up to three Wireless Main Units can talk to one camera at the same time.

The WMU-3 is small in size and lightweight, making it easy to hold for long periods of time. In addition, the new radio modem has a more robust transmission and less power consumption than its predecessor. An ergonomic hand strap assures that the whole unit stays safely in the assistant’s hand.

Unique to the WMU-3 are the abilities to accept the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP) and to accept two control units at once using the Wireless Expansion Bracket (WEB-3). It is possible, for instance, to use the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP) together with a Wireless Focus Unit (WFU-1 or WFU-3).

Another possible combination is the Wireless Remote Control (WRC-1) with a Wireless Focus Unit (WFU-1 or WFU-3). By employing two Wireless Main Units WMU-3, it is possible to have focus, zoom, iris, camera remote control and the LDD- FP all at the same time.

Compatibility: The WMU-3 communicates with URM-2, URM-3, Studio LDB-2 and Lite LDB-2. As power supply the Wireless Battery Unit WBU-3 has to be used; WBU-1 and WBU-2 cannot be used. The WRC-1 needs to run at least software version 1.08.

When using the WMU-3 with the Wireless Remote Control (WRC-1) or the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP), neither WZU-1 nor WZU-3 should be attached between the units. LDD-FP and WRC-1 cannot be used on one WMU-3 at the same time. Neither can two WRC-1 or two LDD-FP units.

Wireless Battery Unit 3 (WBU-3)

This Lithium-ion battery for the WMU-3 provides long running time and a battery capacity display. If the WMU-3 is used solely with a WFU-1 or WFU-3, the battery will last up to 16 hours.

Compatibility: This battery is not compatible with the WMU-1 or WMU-2, and should be charged only with the Wireless Accumulator Charger 3 (WAC-3).
