Hollyland Pyro 7 wireless transceiver monitor features internal recording

Hollyland has announced the Pyro 7 Wireless Transceiver Monitor. The unit combines the functions of a transmitter, receiver, and monitor into one unit. As such, it offers many useful features for on-set work. Its 7″ touchscreen display has a brightness of 1200 cd/m², making it easy to see in outdoor conditions.

The Pyro 7 has a dual L-series battery plate, making it great for long shoots. It uses dual-band 2.4/5 GHz technology and Auto Frequency Hopping (AFH) for stable wireless video transmission. It also includes Smooth Mode for lower latency at longer distances and HD Mode for better image quality.

The Pyro 7’s capabilities build on the advancements seen in the Hollyland Mars M1 Enhanced. That also combines a field monitor with both transmitter and receiver capabilities into a single unit. The Pyro 7, though, takes this to the next level.

In broadcast mode, the Pyro 7 can connect to up to four receivers at the same time. When not in broadcast mode, it can send signals to two receivers and two mobile devices. The Pyro 7 sports both HDMI and SDI inputs and outputs. It can also quickly switch between two cameras with customizable buttons.

The Pyro 7 automatically picks the best channel for transmission using Auto Dual-Band Hopping (ADH) and AFH technologies. This helps avoid signal interference and ensures reliable video transmission. It also supports RTMP streaming. So, you can stream video straight to platforms like Zoom, YouTube Live, Twitch, and TikTok Live.

Internal recording for local and wireless video

An SD card slot allows up to 40 minutes of mp4 video recording per session. Users can apply custom LUTs during video export and organize files for easy editing. On-screen tools include waveform, focus assist, and other image analysis functions. A custom shortcut key allows for dual-view monitoring and quick access to these tools.

The Pyro 7 is built with a lightweight magnesium-aluminium alloy. The company says this makes it 30% lighter and better at heat dissipation than aluminium-only models. The system is available in multiple configurations. There’s a single transceiver monitor kit, a bundle paired with one Hollyland Pyro S transmitter and receiver, and a dual Pyro 7 kit.

Accessories include a locking D-Tap power cable, 2.4/5 GHz antennas, a monitor hood, a shoulder strap, an aluminium handle for vertical mode, and dual rosewood handles. The system also supports Gold or V-mount plates for professional battery options.
