Hollyland Pyro 7 Wireless Monitor

The Hollyland Pyro 7 is a 7-inch touchscreen monitor that also works as a wireless video transmitter or receiver, so one unit can send, receive, and display the picture.

Range and Broadcast Mode

Over 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, the link reaches up to 1,300 feet (400 m) line of sight with about 60 ms of latency. Automatic dual-band frequency hopping keeps checking both bands and moves to the clearest channel, and a smart channel scan shows the frequency status in real time.

In Broadcast mode, one transmitter feeds up to four receivers at up to 650 feet (200 m). With Broadcast mode off, it feeds two receivers and two mobile devices. HD mode holds a steady 8 to 12 Mbps bitrate at 1,300 feet, and Smooth mode adjusts the bitrate to keep latency at its lowest.

The Pyro 7 pairs with the Pyro H and Pyro S, and units come grouped and paired, so a set is ready to use.

Inputs, Outputs, and Recording

In transmitter mode, the Pyro 7 takes one HDMI input and one 3G-SDI input and loops HDMI out. In receiver mode, it gives an SDI output, an HDMI output, and an SDI loop out. A 3.5 mm jack takes headphones.

Video records to an SD card as MP4 files of up to 40 minutes per session, with an option to apply a LUT on export and to sort clips into folders. A screenshot or imported image can be overlaid on the live picture to match a scene. In transmitter mode, the USB-C port streams over RTMP through the HollyView app and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi modem.

Display and Image Tools

The 1920 x 1200 screen reaches 1,500 nits for viewing outdoors. HollyOS tools include waveform, focus assist, zebras, false color, and 3D LUTs, and custom shortcut keys switch between two camera views or open a tool directly.

Power and Build

An NP-F battery plate comes fitted, and G-mount and V-mount plates are sold separately. The locking DC input takes 10 to 18 V, and a D-Tap to locking DC cable is in the box. The shell is magnesium-aluminum alloy.

Choosing a Kit

The Pyro 7 is a single monitor. The Pyro 7 Dual has two monitors, each able to transmit or receive, and a carrying case. The Pyro 7 + Pyro S kit adds a Pyro S transmitter and receiver to one Pyro 7, with a shoulder strap, monitor hood, handle, and hard-shell case. The Configurations tab compares the three kits.
