Teradek Bolt Pro SDI wireless transmission of Alexa LDS metadata to external monitors
12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Teradek Bolt Pro can transmit LDS metadata wirelessly from an Alexa camera to a Transvideo monitor.
- LDS display may occasionally freeze during wireless transmission and can be restored by rebooting the camera.
- LDS stop and depth of field information requires manually rolling the iris from one end to the other to appear on the monitor.
- Updating the Bolt Pro firmware from version 2.0.3 to version 2.2.4 resolved intermittent timecode freezing issues.
- The Bolt Pro v2.2.4 supports both recording flags and timecode in addition to LDS passthrough.
Depends on
- Experience reported with Alexa and master prime lenses only.
- LDS freezing issue may be resolved by firmware updates but was not systematically tested.
- No information on whether the iris manipulation requirement applies universally or only to specific camera configurations.
