Teradek Bolt Pro 2000 wireless video transmitter capabilities and compatibility
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Bolt Pro 2000 transmitter delivers wireless video transmission over distances up to 2000 feet with less than 1 millisecond of delay.
- The unit accepts 3G-SDI input with loop and outputs, and supports 1080p60 resolution.
- Line of sight operation produces optimal performance for this transmitter.
- Standard Bolt receivers are not compatible with the new Pro 2000 transmitter due to different chipset designs.
- Timecode and recording control signal passthrough was not available at the initial shipping date but was under development.
- Patch antenna arrays could be used with the units but were not being sold by the manufacturer at launch.
Depends on
- Compatibility investigation between new and existing Bolt receivers was ongoing at the time of announcement.
- Timecode and record flag transmission capability was planned as a future development rather than a launch feature.
- The distinction between timecode synchronization for external recorders versus genlock for image-to-sound sync remains unclear in the discussion.
- No comparative performance testing had been conducted against competing wireless video systems at the time of the announcement.
