The Hollyland Pyro 7 Is an All-in-One Wireless Video Monitor, Transmitter, and Receiver
Hollyland has announced the Pyro 7 all-in-one wireless video monitor that combines TX, RX, and a seven-inch display in a single device.
The Pyro 7 joins the separate video and audio transmitters that the company released this spring. Like these separate transmitters, the all-in-one Pyro 7 promises an up to 1,300-foot (400-meter) range and low latency (60 milliseconds). Further, like the prior Pyro devices, the Pyro 7 includes Hollyland’s proprietary Auto Dual-Band Hopping (ADH) technology to reduce interference and maintain a consistent connection over long distances.
What sets the Pyro 7 apart from the other Pyro products is the monitor function. The seven-inch display has Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a maximum brightness of 1,200 nits, ensuring it is visible even in bright outdoor light. The Pyro 7 allows users to swap between different monitoring views and offers HQ and Smooth Mode settings, with the former offering higher picture quality and the latter promising more stability over longer distances. Hollyland’s upgraded HollyOS also promises enhanced image analysis and monitoring tools, plus the ability to bulk export video files via an SD card slot.
As part of the larger Pyro series, a single Pyro transmitter can send clear, nearly real-time video and audio to up to four receivers simultaneously, allowing multiple crewmembers to monitor production at the same time, even in different areas on set. The Pyro H, S, and 7 are compatible with each other, although each offers unique features.
The Pyro H transmitter has HDMI input and loopout, for example, while the Pyro S has HDMI and SDI ports for specific workflows. The new Pyro 7 has a built-in monitor, of course, plus it supports HDMI and SDI input, output, and loopout.
“Depending on each user’s needs, the Pyro 7 gives them limitless possibilities,” Hollyland promises. “It lets users choose the connection based on their shooting needs and equipment.”
The Hollyland Pyro 7 wireless transceiver monitor is available now for $549. There is also a set of two Pyro 7 devices for $899, and a Pyro Video Transmission Monitoring Kit with the Pyro 7, Pyro S, Pyro H, monitor hood, Pyro 7 handle, and extra cables available for $899.
