Teradek Bolt Pro 500

The Bolt 500 3G-SDI Video Transmitter from Teradek transmits visually lossless video up to 500′ with no delay. Within the unlicensed 5 GHz channel range, you can use multiple Bolts in one location without any interference. Thanks to built-in cross-conversion supported by every Bolt model, the transmitter supports real-time standards and cross-conversion from receiver to transmitter, allowing you to automatically convert resolution, frame rate, and inputs/outputs (HDMI / 3G-SDI) without any additional hardware. The built-in HDMI to SDI converter allows you to connect both your on-camera monitor and video source via the same device, thereby making Bolt 500 suitable for use with MoVI and other separately available gimbals.

  • Eleven 5 GHz channels
  • Supports full HD (1080p) resolution
  • Low latency of up to 0.001 sec
