Page 6: Getting Started
Connect the output from your video source to either the SDI or HDMI input (PTZ: B or D) on the Orbit PTZ transmitter using the included cable for your specific camera. Connect either the SDI or HDMI output (RX: K or L) from the Orbit receiver to the video input on your monitor. -
Page 7: Device Operation
DEVICE OPERATION • For best results when using multiple Orbit PTZ systems in the same area, place the transmitters and receivers a few feet apart from each other. • Operation of other wireless equipment may interfere with Orbit PTZ. Try to separate other wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible. -
Page 8: Launchpad App
Enable Bluetooth on your iOS or Android device. Navigate to the Bluetooth menu on the transmitter and receiver, then select Enable. Open the Launchpad App from your iOS or Android device, then tap the Orbit PTZ Devices button.

Page 10: Pairing
PAIRING Orbit PTZ units purchased as a set (TX and RX), are paired by default, requiring no additional configuration. Units purchased separately need to be paired using the device's front panel (OLED) menu, Launchpad, or the Launchpad App. NOTE: Before starting either pairing process, ensure that both the transmitter and receiver have the same firmware version and have Bluetooth enabled. -
Page 11: Mounting
MOUNTING WITHOUT DUAL MOUNT Orbit PTZ devices have a 1/4”-20 threaded hole (additional 3/8”-16 threaded hole on the receiver) on the bottom for mounting the included light stand adapter or any other mounting accessory. Orbit PTZ RX mounts vertically on a light stand or... -
Page 12: Transmitter Display Operation
TRANSMITTER DISPLAY OPERATION Orbit PTZ’s configuration menus can be accessed from either the transmitter's front panel display or from the Launchpad app. STATUS SCREENS Press the menu joystick (G) to cycle through the status screens or to return from the menu. - Page 13 WIRELESS SETTINGS - ENABLE FIXED FREQUENCY Fixed Frequency Mode bypasses any automatic frequency switching logic, allowing your Orbit PTZ system to always attempt to connect on a specified frequency. Once a frequency is selected, the transmitter will only use that frequency. This allows your transmitter to link/reconnect to the receiver much faster.
- Page 14 The Video Quality menu lets you adjust the balance between your signal’s maximum range and quality according to the number of antennas used to transmit fine information. Orbit PTZ has three picture quality levels that vary based on the lowest quality link or the furthest receiver.

Page 15: Bluetooth Settings
- Enables the use of a PIN for authentication when using the Launchpad app NOTE: Bluetooth is disabled by default. In order to configure your Orbit PTZ devices via the Launchpad App, you must first enable Bluetooth. DISPLAY SETTINGS Use the Display Settings to control the OLED display operation. By default, the OLED display will invert every 10 minutes. -
Page 16: Receiver Display/Osd Operation
Use the Menu joystick (G) to navigate the configuration menus. SWITCH TX Orbit PTZ receivers can pair with up to four transmitters at a time. Switch TX allows you to quickly switch from one paired transmitter's camera feed to another paired transmitter. - Page 17 Fixed Frequency Mode enabled, you can only select one frequency for Orbit PTZ to use. Frequencies marked with (DFS) must be scanned for one minute before they can be used, but are typically less crowded. For all available frequencies, refer to the FREQUENCIES BY REGION chart on page 25.
