Hollyland has officially announced its new Pyro H Wireless Video System that we first got a sneak peek at NAB 2024 last week.
Hollyland is stating that the Pyro H is a perfect solution for multi-person mobile wireless image transmission and monitoring. They go on to say that the Pyro H is a good choice for diverse applications, such as film production, commercial filming, live event filming, and ENG/EFP applications.
The Pyro H consists of a TX unit and a RX unit. Both are the same size and weight. There will also be a Pyro S system that has both HDMI and SDI input/output, but that won’t be launched till June.
Above you can see our video interview with Hollyland at NAB 2024.
Key features
- 1 Transmitter to 4 Receivers
- 1,300ft / 400m Video Transmission (line of sight)
- 0.06s Low Latency
- 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Dual Band
- HDMI Loopout
- 4K30 Wirelessly Transmit Capability
- UVC Streaming
The Pyro H uses Hollyland’s 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Dual-Band technology, and it is claimed to have a stable transmission range of up to 1,300ft / 400m (line of sight). Hollyland also claims that the system has a minimal transmission latency of 60ms thanks to upgraded chips and optimized video encoding/decoding algorithms. Now, please be aware that when companies publish latency figures, those figures are usually for the latency between the TX and the RX and they don’t include the rest of the image chain. The actual real world latency will always be higher.
The Pyro H has the ability to wirelessly transmit high-resolution video in various formats, including 4K at 24, 25, and 30 frames per second, as well as Full HD 1080p at 50, 59.94, and 60 frames per second.
In case you are asking, yes, it can transmit and receive up to 4K 30p.
The Pyro H’s one transmitter can connect with up to four receivers. You can also send a signal to 3 RX units and the Pyro 7″ monitor.
You can select between a Smooth Mode or HD Mode. Smooth Mode is ideal for maintaining stability over long distances, while HD Mode prioritizes image quality.
When it powers up, the Pyro H automatically chooses the best available frequency channel, but users can also activate the smart channel scan function to receive real-time feedback on the frequency status if they want to choose a channel manually.
The Pyro H transmitter has an HDMI input and a HDMI loop-out that allows it to send signals to multiple receivers simultaneously while also facilitating real-time on-set monitoring.
The Pyro H also offers a range of power options, such as USB-C power supply, standard DC power, or an NP-F battery.
The Pyro H has preset grouping and pairing features so that it can be set-up quickly. This saves valuable time on set by eliminating the need for frequent manual configuration of transmitters and receivers.
A UVC streaming function allows you to connect the RX unit directly with computers and other devices without the need for capture cards or software. This plug-and-play capability is especially beneficial for users who want to live stream or do video conferencing.
Hollyland will also have a 7″ RX/TX monitor called the Pyro 7. Above you can watch our video from NAB 2024 where Holland talks about the monitor.
