Teradec Bolt 7 Set

Teradek Bolt 7 Set: Zero-Delay 4K HDR Wireless Video & Dedicated 900 MHz Data Pipeline

The Teradek Bolt 7 Set represents the next generation of professional wireless video transmission, designed for demanding cinematography, broadcast and live production workflows. Based on Teradek’s proven zero-delay wireless architecture, Bolt 7 transmits uncompressed 4K HDR video over the 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequency bands while adding a dedicated 900 MHz wireless data pipeline.

This parallel data channel enables reliable transmission of camera control, live color grading, lens metadata and telemetry without relying on congested Wi-Fi networks or external tethering cables. The Bolt 7 system is available in three range configurations to accommodate different production environments and operating distances:

Bolt 7 750

Up to 750 ft (228 m) line of sight. The Bolt 7 750 is suited to standard studio setups, gimbal applications and handheld configurations.

Bolt 7 1500

Up to 1,500 ft (450 m) line of sight. The extended range provides additional flexibility for larger stages, complex narrative sets and multi-camera live productions.

Bolt 7 MAX

Up to 5,000 ft (1,500 m) when paired with long-range panel antennas. The MAX configuration is designed for extended operating distances and demanding broadcast environments.

All models in the Bolt 7 lineup feature a redesigned, more compact form factor that is up to 20% smaller than previous generations. This helps optimize weight distribution and thermal efficiency on set. The system features a 2-inch full-color OLED display for rapid configuration and status monitoring, along with 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 connectivity. Bolt 7 also provides cross-compatibility with existing Bolt 4K and Bolt 6 ecosystems.

Advanced noise rejection technology enables multiple systems to operate simultaneously in congested RF environments, supporting reliable wireless operation for demanding professional productions.
