The screen itself is a 7-inch, 1920 x 1200 Quantum Dot LCD panel that features a specialized nanostructure which Hollyland says delivers exceptional color purity with cinematic depth. To ensure the best possible color accuracy, every Pyro 7 Ultra is pre-calibrated to an accuracy of Delta-E <1.5, and the display is capable of displaying 99% Rec.709 and 95% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, up to 1500 nits of brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Wireless video transmission is enhanced by Hollyland's proprietary Twin-Wi-Fi technology, which simultaneously utilizes two wireless bands to create a resilient dual-path connection. Combined with automatic frequency hopping that minimizes interference in congested radio frequency environments, the Pyro 7 Ultra is able to maintain a stable wireless transmission up to a range of 1km (3,300 feet), with latency as low as 20ms in Focus Mode. The wireless connection can broadcast 4K60 video from one transmitter to an unlimited number of receivers - just the ticket if your production requires multiple monitoring locations. The Pyro 7 Ultra has been designed to be teamed with compatible Pyro transmitters, receivers, and monitors, contributing to a reliable, flexible, and scalable system that can adapt easily to productions of any size.

The Hollyland Pyro 7 Ultra is available now, priced at $1,399/£1,483
