Teradek Ace 500 HDMI Wireless Video Receiver

With the Teradek Ace 500 HDMI Wireless Video Receiver you’ll receive visually lossless, uncompressed 1080p60 signals from an Ace 500 transmitter with <1 ms latency up to a 500′ line of sight. The Ace 500 is compatible with existing Bolt systems such as the Bolt 500, XT, and LT, as well as SmallHD monitors with integrated Bolt transmitters.

The Ace 500 features an HDMI type A output, and a standard HDMI cable is included so you can plug in right out of the box. Power is provided using the included power adapter, or a separately available Sony L-Series, BP-U, BP-9, or Canon LP-E6 battery mount can be purchased. The receiver unit can be secured to a mount or stand via built-in 1/4″-20 or 4-40 holes.

The receiver can share the transmitter signal with up to three other receivers. It features built-in AES-128 encryption that protects your video from prying eyes while your signal stays clean when working within the 5 GHz frequency spectrum. A mini-USB cable is included for upgrading the unit’s firmware.

SmallHD FOCUS Bolt 500 TX On-Camera Monitor

The SmallHD FOCUS Bolt 500 TX On-Camera Monitor combines SmallHD’s popular FOCUS monitor with Teradek’s Bolt 500 wireless transmitter, all in a single unit. Using the built-in transmission, the Focus Bolt can send uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 HD video to a Teradek Bolt 500, Bolt 500 LT, Bolt 500 XT, or Sidekick II receiver, or to a SmallHD FOCUS Bolt 500 RX or 703 Bolt monitor, up to 500′ away. What’s more is this monitor fits right atop your camera’s accessory shoe using the included tilt-arm. An L-series battery kit, cable clips, matte and glossy screen protectors, a cleaning cloth, and an assortment of HDMI cables are included as well.

Display-wise, the FOCUS Bolt 500 TX is based off the same display and I/O as the well-regarded standard FOCUS models. The bright, 800 cd/m2, 1280 x 720 touchscreen IPS LCD panel can be viewed in daylight, and is driven by a single micro-HDMI input. Using the intuitive Swipe OS, you can turn on various monitoring tools like waveform, false color, and vectorscope, as well as focusing aids like peaking, with a tap. If your camera outputs UHD 4K over HDMI, the FOCUS will support that input resolution as well as HD and SD inputs. At the rear of the monitor, a single NP-F battery bay accepts the included available L-series battery for power, while an integrated power output can also power your camera with a separately available DC coupler.

Swipe OS
Built on SmallHD’s intuitive PageBuilder OS, Swipe OS offers the same intuitiveness of a graphical user interface (GUI), though with touchscreen navigation. Rather than have confusing menus, this GUI allows you to selectively apply monitoring tools such as waveform, vectorscope, and focusing aids to up to 12 different “pages”. Using the touchscreen, swipe through different preset pages and toggle monitoring tools on or off with ease.

Camera Setup Integration
This monitor complements smaller cameras by providing power output and a headphone jack. The power output lets you power your camera directly from the NP-F battery mounted on the monitor, increasing runtimes over the standard batteries of many mirrorless cameras. If your camera doesn’t have a headphone jack, the FOCUS de-embeds the audio from the HDMI stream for real-time feedback of audio.

Convenient Mounting
The FOCUS monitor secures to your camera using the included FOCUS Tilt Arm via shoe mount or 1/4″-20 thread. The Tilt Arm enables 180° of tilt for convenient monitoring at nearly any angle. A cold shoe on the Tilt Arm lets you secure equipment (like a microphone, or LED light) that would otherwise be displaced from the camera’s accessory shoe.
