What the thread found

• The wired focus controller from the manufacturer does not function with the BDR digital receiver model
• Manual focus operation is necessary for live productions when using BDR digital receivers, as they cannot be configured for automated focus control
• Some users maintain analog receiver setups alongside BDR digital systems specifically to retain wired controller functionality
• There were indications that future firmware updates or hardware revisions might add wired controller support to BDR units, but this was uncertain at the time

Depends on

• Information from 2012, compatibility status may have changed
• One participant's statement about adding BDR connections was based on a brief conversation and may have been a misunderstanding
• No confirmation that wired controller support was actually implemented
