HOLLYLAND’S PYRO TECHNICS Hollyland’s most recent wireless video monitoring system melds a transmitter, receiver and seven-inch monitor into one compact, robust device. The Pyro has a range of up to 400m/1300ft with a low latency of only 60ms for a responsive monitoring of video in up to 4K/30p. A complete compact monitoring and transmission device, the Pyro 7 forms part of Hollyland’s new Pyro series, which also includes the SDI- and HDMI-equipped connect one transmitter to four receivers – and customisable shortcut keys provide convenient dual-camera monitoring. The upgraded HollyOS offers improved image analysis capabilities and allows for bulk video file export via SD card. With Hollyland’s Auto Dual-Band Hopping technology, the Pyro system Pyro S and HDMI-only Pyro H. The Pyro 7 can simultaneously operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, generating the optimal frequency for an uninterrupted signal. The Pyro H, S and 7 are all compatible with each other, but the H transmitter’s HDMI input and loop out allow a camera to send video to other receivers while monitoring the view from the loop out port to an external screen. The Pyro 7 supports HDMI and SDI input, output and loop out. The Pyro 7 costs $699, while a Pyro Video Transmission and Monitoring Kit is $1299. No UK prices have been announced. hollyland.com
DJI peddles pro video transmitter
software on processor chips handling most of the load, it boasts a minimal latency of just 35ms. The SDR Transmission system supports remote control over the camera, allowing users to display or adjust aperture, shutter, ISO and trigger recording through an app. The receiver can connect to monitors via SDI or HDMI as well as smartphones and tablets via USB-C or Wi-Fi. Using Wi-Fi allows for dual- channel monitoring without need of additional receivers. The system can also transmit metadata. Charging is via USB-C, but it can be powered directly by a DJI RS 4 Pro, DJI RS 4 or DJI RS 3 Pro when mounted and used together, eliminating the need for a separate battery. On their own, the transmitter and receiver use industry-standard NP-F batteries. Each unit weighs 145g/0.31lb and the antenna folds down, so it’s easy to store. dji.com
Days after a shock announcement it was launching into the cycling market with a high-end electric mountain bike – and at a price to undercut its established rivals – DJI revealed a wireless video transmission system that brings elevated specs to a more affordable price point, ideal for indie production companies. The DJI SDR Transmission Combo is designed to bring stable, high-quality video transmission to small sets as it’s portable and costs just £519/$549. It uses DJI’s own technology for long-range transmission of footage in up to 1080/60p up to 20Mbps from up to 3km/1.8 miles away. Called SDR – software-defined radio – the tech employs a tri-band system with automatic frequency- hopping to transmit from the camera to an unlimited number of receivers or mobile devices, even in built-up environments where conventional consumer Wi-Fi could fail.
