The Hollyland Pyro S Receiver adds a monitoring point to a Pyro system, with HDMI 1.4b and 3G-SDI outputs, video up to 4K 30p over HDMI and a 1,300ft (400m) line-of-sight range. It is the receiver only and needs a Pyro series transmitter, and the box includes a 12V/2A DC power adapter so it can run from mains power on set without a battery.

Key Features

  • Outputs HDMI 1.4b up to 3840x2160 at 23.98 to 30 fps, and 3G-SDI up to 1080p60.
  • Keeps a link at up to 1,300ft (400m) line of sight with Broadcast mode off and 650ft (200m) in Broadcast mode.
  • One Pyro S Transmitter connects to up to 4 receivers in Broadcast mode, or to 2 receivers and 2 apps in Unicast mode.
  • The channel scan on the receiver gives real-time feedback on frequency status so you can choose a clean channel.
  • USB Video Class (UVC) lets a computer use the receiver as a video source through OBS and similar software.
  • A full-color LCD shows battery level, group, resolution, frame rate and channel, and the unit draws under 8W.

  • 1 x Pyro S Receiver
  • 3 x Dual-Band Cylindrical Antenna
  • 1 x USB-C OTG Adapter
  • 1 x 12V/2A DC Power Adapter
  • 1 x Quick Guide and Packing List Card

How It Compares

Feature Pyro S Receiver Pyro H Receiver
Video output HDMI 1.4b, 3G-SDI HDMI 1.4b
DC adapter in the box 12V/2A None
Power draw Under 8W Under 4W
USB-C power Not supported 5V/2A, not in Broadcast mode
  • SDI monitors or a mains-powered position: Choose the Pyro S Receiver for its 3G-SDI output and included 12V/2A adapter.
  • HDMI monitors on USB-C power: Choose the Pyro H Receiver, which accepts a 5V/2A USB-C charger with Broadcast mode off and draws under 4W against under 8W.
  • Starting from nothing: Consider the Hollyland Pyro S system, which packs a transmitter and a receiver together.

Pair It With

  • A Pyro transmitter: A Pyro series transmitter set to the same group pairs with this receiver. A Pyro H Transmitter works as an HDMI source.
  • NP-F batteries: The receiver can run from an NP-F battery, which is not included. The SmallRig USB-C Rechargeable NP-F970 Camera Battery and the SmallRig NP-F550 USB-C Replacement Battery are NP-F format choices.
  • Computers and streaming software: Connect a standard USB-A to Type-C cable, then add the receiver in OBS as a video capture device. Hollyland recommends 1080p30 with the MJPEG format for UVC.
  • Radios near the monitor position: Hollyland suggests at least 1m between walkie-talkies and the video cables, and better-shielded cables if a higher-power radio causes a black screen.

FAQ

Will the Pyro S Receiver take a signal from a Pyro H Transmitter?

Yes. Hollyland states that Pyro series products can pair with each other, and this receiver joins a Pyro transmitter set to its group. A Pyro H Transmitter only has an HDMI input, so it acts as an HDMI source for this receiver.

Other than SDI and the screen, how does the Pyro S differ from the Pyro H?

Range is the same at 1,300ft (400m). Hollyland lists a lowest latency of 50ms for Pyro S and 60ms for Pyro H. Pyro S adds Auto Dual-Band Hopping, RTMP streaming through a Wi-Fi dongle, a magnesium-aluminum alloy shell and a two-speed fan. Pyro H can run from a 5V/2A USB-C charger with Broadcast mode off, and Pyro S cannot.

Can one receiver handle two transmitters?

Hollyland pairs units by group, and its Quick Guide describes a transmitter and a receiver sharing one group. It does not describe a Pyro S Receiver showing two transmitters. Please talk to Filmgear Canada before building a two-camera plan around one receiver.

Can the Pyro S Receiver feed a computer for streaming?

Yes, through USB Video Class (UVC). Connect the receiver to the computer with a standard USB-A to Type-C cable, open OBS and add a video capture device. Hollyland recommends 1080p30 and the MJPEG video format for this workflow.

What powers the Pyro S Receiver?

A 12V/2A DC adapter comes in the box. The receiver also runs from any 6V to 16V DC source or an NP-F battery between 6.8V and 8.4V, and it uses under 8W. Hollyland lists USB-C power as not supported on the Pyro S.
