BOLT 4K
Bolt 4K uses Teradek's patented RF technology to transmit HDR video to up to 6 receivers in HD or 4K resolutions. The new Bolt app for iOS further streamlines the user's workflow, allowing them to manage every parameter of the wireless system from the convenience of their smartphone. Users are able to pair their TX and RX, apply a 3D LUT, and manually set a 5GHz channel to operate on, among other things.
Forget about lengthy SDI or fiber optic cables — with Bolt 4K users can unlock the potential of a true 4K HDR workflow on set completely free of constraint.
WHERE DOES THE BOLT 4K MAX PLACE?
Bolt 4K MAX is Teradek’s most advanced and capable wireless system yet. All Bolt 4K systems transmit 10-bit, 4:2:2, HDR video at resolutions up to 2160p. Users can transmit to up to 6 receivers over 14 certified 40MHz channels with a strong wireless link and more options to avoid interference.
For HDR workflows, Bolt 4K MAX supports the HDR-10, PQ, and HLG standards and can transport extended camera metadata, timecode, and record triggers over the wireless link. The system is also interoperable, allowing any model to transmit and receive from the other (i.e, a Bolt 4K 750 receiver is compatible with a Bolt 4K MAX transmitter and vice-versa).
Bolt 4K MAX features an all-new Broadcast Mode that enables transmission to unlimited receivers, and a Fixed Frequency Mode to lock operating channels for enhanced performance in crowded RF environments. It also has the ability to transmit 120fps in full HD which hasn't been done before.
