12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The Bolt Pro 300 transmitter features dual HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs with improved thermal management through a redesigned chassis and maintains internal fixed antennas.
  • The Bolt Pro 600 transmitter extends wireless range to 600 feet line of sight with new RF design and supports optional high-gain external antennas for improved link resilience.
  • The Bolt Pro 2000 transmitter achieves 2000 feet line of sight range and includes both HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs with optional high-gain antenna support.
  • The Bolt Pro 300 receiver operates fanless and silent with improved cooling compared to earlier models, featuring both HDMI and 3G-SDI outputs and internal antennas.
  • The Bolt Pro 600 and 2000 receivers are half the size and weight of previous long-range receivers, include LCD status display, and support multiple RP-SMA antenna connections.
  • The Bolt Pro 600 and 2000 receivers can be equipped with an optional GRAB video engine that converts the receiver into a wireless video capture device with USB 3.0 output compatible with standard video class drivers on Windows and Mac systems.
  • The GRAB video engine enables simultaneous monitoring and direct ingestion of uncompressed 10-bit RGB video into a computer or production switcher without additional delay or conversion.
  • All new Bolt Pro systems transmit uncompressed zero-delay 10-bit 4:2:2 video over the unlicensed 5GHz band.
  • The Bolt Pro 2000 with dual-input transmitter and receiver carries a price of $7990, the Bolt Pro 300 was expected at approximately $2990, and the Bolt Pro 600 pricing would fall between these models.

Depends on

  • Bolt Pro 300 receiver features internal antennas that cannot be modified or replaced.
  • Exact pricing for the Bolt Pro 600 and GRAB video engine receiver was not finalized at announcement.
  • Boot time and re-pairing behavior after power interruption were identified as limitations tied to the chipset firmware beyond the manufacturer's direct control.
  • Upgrade and trade-in programs for existing Bolt Pro owners were still under evaluation at the time of the announcement.
