At BIRTV in Beijing, Hollyland was showing their new Cosmo 3000P, a 3000ft (914 meters) wireless video system. By using a panel antenna solution, the Hollyland receiver can provide a stable signal if you need to use wireless video over long distances.
The Hollyland Cosmo 3000P HDMI/SDI transmission system includes one panel receiver and one transmitter. The transmitter has an SDI input and an SDI loop out, as well as an HDMI input. The receiver has two SDI outputs, as well as an HDMI output. The nice thing about the Hollyland Cosmo 3000P is that the receiver is built-in to the panel. Usually, with antenna panels, you need to attach a receiver.
The panel has a bracket mount on the back that allows you to adjust the angle of the receiver. Hollyland told us that the panel has an approximate 17-degree angle of capture.
The panel can be powered off either a V-lock battery or Anton Bauer Gold Mount depending on which version you select.

Competition
There are a lot of companies making panel solutions for wireless video. The most popular is the
Teradek Antenna Array for Bolt RX. This panel retails for $749 USD, but you then need to factor in the cost of a Bolt 1000 or 3000 transmitter and receiver system. A
Bolt 3000 XT SDI/HDMI Wireless TX/RX system retails for $10,190.00 USD.
Price and availability
The Hollyland Cosmo 3000P is now shipping and retails for $7,500 USD.
