The Hollyland Pyro S Transmitter sends HDMI or 3G-SDI video to Pyro series receivers, up to 4K 30p over HDMI and 1080p60 over SDI, with a 1,300ft (400m) line-of-sight range and latency as low as 50ms. A good fit for crews shooting on SDI cameras or streaming over RTMP from the camera position, it is a transmitter only and needs a Pyro receiver or the HollyView app to watch the feed.

How It Compares

Feature Pyro S Transmitter Pyro H Transmitter
Video input HDMI 1.4b, 3G-SDI HDMI 1.4b
Lowest latency (1080p60, no interference) 50ms 60ms
RTMP streaming Through a USB Wi-Fi dongle Not listed
USB-C power Not supported 5V/2A, not in Broadcast mode
  • SDI cameras or RTMP from the camera: Choose the Pyro S Transmitter for its 3G-SDI input and RTMP streaming.
  • HDMI only, with a local monitor or USB-C power: Choose the Pyro H Transmitter, which has an HDMI loopout and accepts 5V/2A USB-C with Broadcast mode off.
  • Buying the first set: Consider the Hollyland Pyro S system, which includes a transmitter and a receiver.

Pair It With

  • A Pyro receiver: The Pyro S pairs with other Pyro series units. Hollyland names Pyro H and Pyro 7 as examples, and units pair automatically when they share a group.
  • NP-F batteries: Hollyland estimates about 4 hours on an NP-F970, and no battery comes in the box. The SmallRig USB-C Rechargeable NP-F970 Camera Battery and the SmallRig NP-F550 USB-C Replacement Battery are NP-F format options.
  • DC power: The transmitter accepts 6V to 16V through a 2.0mm core socket and does not come with a power adapter. USB-C power is not supported.
  • A laptop as a source: The HDMI output of a laptop can feed the transmitter.
  • Wi-Fi dongle for RTMP: Connect a USB wireless network card and enter the streaming address through the HollyView app.
  • Phones and tablets: With Broadcast mode off, the HollyView app reaches up to 2 mobile devices. Broadcast mode does not support app monitoring.
  • Walkie-talkies on set: Hollyland advises keeping them at least 1m away from the HDMI or SDI cables, and using well-shielded cables, to avoid interference.

FAQ

Is the Pyro S Transmitter compatible with the Pyro H?

Yes. Hollyland's Pyro S FAQ confirms that Pyro S can pair with Pyro H and Pyro 7. Note that Pyro H units are HDMI only, so an SDI monitor at the far end needs a Pyro S Receiver.

Can this send video from a MacBook Pro to an iPad Pro?

Hollyland's Pyro S FAQ uses a laptop's HDMI output as a test source for this transmitter, so the laptop needs an HDMI output. The HollyView app can then show the feed on an iPad with Broadcast mode off, with up to 2 mobile devices at once and no receiver required for them.

Can I connect 2 transmitters to 1 receiver?

Hollyland's Quick Guide pairs a transmitter and a receiver by putting them in the same group, and it does not describe one receiver combining two transmitters. Contact Filmgear Canada before you plan a two-camera setup around a single receiver.

How long does an NP-F970 run the Pyro S Transmitter?

Hollyland's FAQ works it out at about 4 hours as a guide: a 6000mAh, 7.4V NP-F970 holds 44.4Wh and the transmitter uses around 11W. USB-C power is not supported, so plan on NP-F batteries or a 6V to 16V DC input.

How loud is the cooling fan on the Pyro S?

Hollyland lists up to 55dB in Auto mode and 45dB in Low mode, and the device runs slightly warmer in Low. Only the transmitter lets you change the fan speed, which matters on quiet sets where the unit sits close to the sound team.
