Hollyland has announced the new Hollyland Pyro S (buy here) video transmission system. The system is, in essence, an SDI version of the recently released Hollyland Pyro H (buy here) with virtually identical features.
It supports 4K footage at up to 30fps and 1080p up to 60fps. It offers 400 metres of range with dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz frequency hopping for maximum reliability. And despite offering SDI, it also still offers HDMI.
Hollyland Pyro S – More antennas, more inputs and outputs
The Hollyland Pyro S takes a more horizontal approach to its orientation than the Pyro H. The Pyro H sits vertically and has two antennas, while the extra width of lying on its side provides the Pyro S with room for an extra antenna for maximum signal strength.
It can transmit up to 400 metres in range to up to four devices. These devices can be other Hollyland receivers, the Hollyland Mars M1 (buy here) or even a smartphone or tablet running the Hollyland app.
The Pyro S features SDI sockets in addition to the HDMI sockets of the Pyro H. This opens up a wider array of cameras and it’s also able to translate between the two formats. So, you can use an HDMI monitor with an SDI camera or vice versa. It also supports USB-C monitors.
Hollyland says the Pyro S has 50ms (0.05s) of latency. That means at 30fps, you should never be more than a couple of frames behind real time. Like Hollyland’s other video transmission systems, it’s built from machined aluminium alloy to provide a rugged and durable enclosure on location.
Price and Availability
The Hollyland Pyro S is available to pre-order now for $699 in a transmitter (Tx)/receiver (Rx) pair. The Pyro S Tx is available on its own for $349 for those wishing to transmit to mobile devices. The Pyro S Rx is also available to buy on its own for $349.
