At NAB 2024, we were introduced to Hollyland’s new Pyro series, a wireless video series with a unique Auto Dual-band frequency Hopping (ADH) technology, and had the chance to see the debut of the Pyro H (read more about it here). Now, Hollyland has officially released the second in the series with the rollout of the Pyro S. Let’s have a look at what the series offers!
Hollyland Technology is based in China, and we’ve written about many of their products – for example, the Lark Max All-In-One wireless Lavalier Microphone system, which we wrote about here, and the Solidcom C1 Pro Intercom System here. The company specializes in wireless video transmission solutions as well as wireless microphone systems, and more. Their new wireless video Pyro series will consist of the Pyro H, Pryo S, and Pyro 7.
Hollyland has self-developed 2.4GHz and 5GHz Auto Dual-band frequency Hopping (ADH) wireless technology for the Pyro series. ADH enables the Pyro S and Pyro H to jump back and forth between frequencies according to need. If there is interference on one channel, it will jump to the other. Hollyland states that efficient signal transmission guarantees real-time footage monitoring with minimal latency for the crew. Stable wireless video can be delivered simultaneously to four independent monitors and supports 4K/30fps video transmission at distances of up to 400 meters/1300ft with broadcast mode disabled.
Users can choose the best mode for their needs by selecting either Smooth mode (smooth transmission when real-time feedback takes priority) or HD mode (higher image quality at a stable bitrate). Smooth mode delivers a bitrate that continually adjusts to a latency of 50ms for ultra-long-distance transmission, whereas HD mode offers a stable bitrate of 8-12 Mbps at a range of up to 400m/1300ft (line-of-sight).
The Pyro series offers USB Video Class (UVC) and Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). Here are the differences in connectivity between the Hollyland Pyro S, Pyro H, and Pyro 7:
The Pyro devices feature a lightweight shell made from aerospace-grade magnesium-aluminum alloy. Both the Pyro H and Pyro S models have color LCD control displays on both the transmitter and receiver with an intuitive user interface and quick access to settings. The Pyro 7 system will include a built-in 7-inch monitor, while the Pyro S and Pyro H display video solely on external monitors.
The Pyro H is available now for $479. The Pyro S will be released globally today, May 22nd, and is priced at $699. There is no current information on the release or the pricing of the Pyro 7, but we will stay informed! For more information, refer to their website here.

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. An American, I’ve lived and worked in Vienna for many years both as a photographer and a photography teacher. Currently I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval immersive theater group. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
