868 MHz RF vs IR vs Tuya: Which Motor Control Should You Choose for a Jampo Projection Screen?

A practical guide to choosing between standard RF control, IR integration, and Tuya Smart Home control for SCREENPRO Jampo AJ and TJ motorized projection screens.

When specifying a motorized projection screen, the screen material and size are only part of the system. The motor and control configuration also determines how the screen is operated, how it communicates with the projector, and whether it can be integrated into an existing AV or smart-home system.

For SCREENPRO Jampo Series AJ and TJ screens, there are three main control configurations: standard 868 MHz RF control, optional IR control and the M-TY Tuya smart-control configuration.

Quick answer:
No special requirement → choose 868 MHz RF.
Existing IR control system → add IR control.
Tuya / Smart Home project → choose the M-TY configuration.

Three Control Options

STANDARD

868 MHz RF Control

The standard Jampo configuration uses the M-AM35 motor with 868 MHz RF wireless control.

RF control does not require the remote to be aimed directly at a receiver, making it convenient for normal home theater, meeting-room and AV installations.

For projector synchronization, this configuration works with the TBQ-1264 synchronizer.

Recommended when:
The customer has no special control-system requirement.
OPTIONAL

IR Control

For installations that already rely on infrared control, IR functionality can be added to the M-AM35 configuration.

The IR receiver normally requires the remote signal to be directed toward the receiving area, so receiver placement should be considered during installation.

The IR option adds infrared functionality while retaining the standard RF control capability.

Recommended when:
The integrator or customer specifically requires IR integration.
SMART HOME

Tuya Smart Control

For smart-home projects, SCREENPRO offers the M-TY motor configuration designed for Tuya / Smart Home applications.

This configuration is separate from the standard M-AM35 control platform and uses the TBQ-USY USB trigger for projector synchronization.

 

 

Recommended when:
The project requires Tuya or smart-home integration.

1. 868 MHz RF: The Standard Configuration

For most Jampo AJ and TJ installations, the standard configuration is the most straightforward choice.

The M-AM35 system uses 868 MHz RF wireless control and does not normally require line-of-sight between the remote and receiver. This makes operation convenient in both residential and commercial AV environments.

Main Configuration

  • M-AM35 motor configuration
  • 868 MHz RF wireless control
  • Remote code: R-RF-J2512
  • AAA × 2 remote batteries
  • LAN interface supported
  • Compatible with TBQ-1264
Selection rule: If there are no special requirements for IR or Tuya integration, use the standard 868 MHz RF configuration.

2. IR Control: For AV Integration Projects

Some AV control systems use infrared commands to operate screens, projectors and other equipment.

For these applications, IR control can be added to the standard M-AM35 configuration. The IR option provides an additional control method while retaining the standard RF functionality.

Because infrared signals normally require the transmitter to face the receiving area, the IR receiver should remain accessible and appropriately positioned within the installation.

Main Configuration

  • M-AM35 motor configuration
  • IR receiver added
  • RF functionality retained
  • Remote code: R-IR-J2601
  • AAA × 2 remote batteries
  • LAN interface supported
  • Compatible with TBQ-1264
Selection rule: Choose IR only when the customer or system integrator specifically requires infrared control.

3. Tuya: For Smart Home Integration

The M-TY configuration is intended for projects where smart-home control is part of the system design.

It is designed for Tuya / Smart Home applications and uses a different trigger solution from the standard M-AM35 platform.

Main Configuration

  • M-TY motor configuration
  • Tuya smart control
  • Remote code: R-RF-J2604
  • CR2032 × 1 remote battery
  • No pointing requirement
  • Compatible with TBQ-USY
Selection rule: If the customer requests Tuya or Smart Home integration, select the M-TY configuration.

Which Trigger Should Be Used?

Projector synchronization allows the motorized screen to work together with the projector, but the required trigger depends on the selected motor configuration.

M-AM35 + 868 MHz RF TBQ-1264 Synchronizer
M-AM35 + IR TBQ-1264 Synchronizer
M-TY + Tuya TBQ-USY USB Trigger

For synchronizers supplied together with the screen, SCREENPRO completes the initial pairing procedure at the factory. After connecting the projector, the customer completes the remaining projector-side learning steps.

For a TBQ synchronizer purchased separately, the complete pairing procedure must be carried out during installation.

Simple Selection Guide

Standard Home Theater or AV Project M-AM35 + 868 MHz RF
Add TBQ-1264 when projector synchronization is required.
Existing IR Control System M-AM35 + RF + IR
Add TBQ-1264 when projector synchronization is required.
Tuya / Smart Home Project M-TY + Tuya Smart Control
Use TBQ-USY for projector synchronization.

Why the Control Configuration Matters

The motor control system should be selected according to the installation environment rather than treated as an afterthought.

A conventional home theater may only need reliable RF operation, while an integrated AV room may require IR commands. A smart-home project may instead require a dedicated Tuya configuration.

Confirming the control method before production helps ensure that the screen, remote control, projector trigger and automation system are specified as one compatible solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 868 MHz RF the standard Jampo configuration?

Yes. For Jampo AJ and TJ screens using the M-AM35 configuration, 868 MHz RF is the standard/default control option.

Can IR be added without removing RF control?

Yes. The IR option adds infrared control while retaining the standard RF control functionality.

Does IR control require line of sight?

Normally yes. The IR signal should be directed toward the IR receiving area.

Which synchronizer is used with the RF configuration?

The M-AM35 868 MHz RF configuration uses the TBQ-1264 synchronizer for projector linkage.

Which synchronizer is used when IR control is added?

The IR-enhanced M-AM35 configuration also uses the TBQ-1264.

Which trigger is used with the Tuya configuration?

The M-TY Tuya configuration uses the TBQ-USY USB trigger for projector synchronization.

Which configuration should I choose if I am unsure?

If the project does not specifically require IR or Tuya / Smart Home integration, choose the standard M-AM35 + 868 MHz RF configuration.
