Bolt 1000/3000
CONNECT AND POWER YOUR DEVICE
Connect the output from your video source to the SDI/HDMI input (K,I) on the Bolt 
transmitter. Connect either the SDI or HDMI output (J,L) from the Bolt receiver to 
the video input on your monitor.
Pantone 109
Zero Delay 
Wireless HD Video 
The Bolt is a zero delay 
wireless video transmission 
system designed for the 
most demanding cinema, 
broadcast, and UAV 
applications. At less 
than 1ms latency, Bolt can 
transmit 1080p60 4:2:2 video 
at up to 3000ft line of sight 
over the unlicensed 
5GHz band.
Attach the two TX antennas to the transmitter and the five RX antennas to 
the receiver via the threaded RP-SMA connectors (A).
Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (B) to the ON position. 
Video appears within a few seconds.
Connect power to your Bolt transmitter using the included P-Tap to Connector 
cable. Power the Bolt receiver with the included A/C adapter or battery plate 
accessory. If using the battery plate, connect a compatible battery (AB Gold mount 
or V-Lock) to the plate, and connect the short cable from the plate to the receiver’s 
DC input (H).
