At BSC Expo 2026, Hollyland offered an early look at its upcoming Pyro Ultra wireless video transmission system. Building on the existing Pyro family, the next-generation unit targets professional film crews with 4K60 support, reduced latency in the region of 22 milliseconds, unlimited receiver connectivity, and full compatibility across the Pyro ecosystem, with a spring release expected around NAB.

We sat down with Lawrence at the Hollyland booth during BSC Expo 2026 in London to get the latest on what the company has been working on. While the Pyro Ultra is not yet officially released, and final specifications are still being locked down, the product has been making the rounds at trade shows since IBC 2025, and a formal launch appears imminent.

4K60 and lower latency

The Pyro Ultra represents a significant step forward from the current Pyro lineup. Where existing models like the Pyro S and Pyro H top out at 4K30 wireless transmission, the Pyro Ultra pushes that to 4K60, a long-awaited upgrade for crews working with higher frame rate workflows. The Pyro S currently offers 50ms latency in Smooth mode, and the Pyro H sits at 60ms, so the Pyro Ultra’s target of approximately 22 milliseconds would represent a substantial improvement. This figure was previously referred to as a “Focus Mode” latency at IBC 2025, designed specifically for focus puller-friendly operation where minimal delay is critical.

Lawrence was careful to note that since the product is not yet released, the exact numbers may shift before launch. Still, the direction is clear: Hollyland is pushing hard on the latency front, which has been a persistent challenge for wireless video systems used in critical on-set applications such as remote focus pulling.

Unlimited receivers and cross-compatibility

The third major feature of the Pyro Ultra is its receiver architecture. Unlike the existing Pyro models, which support up to four receivers in broadcast mode, the Pyro Ultra will work with an unlimited number of receivers. This is a significant advantage for larger film productions and commercial shoots where directors, cinematographers, DITs, gaffers, grips, and other department heads all need to see the camera feed simultaneously. Handing out Pyro 5 or Pyro 7 monitors to key crew members becomes a far more scalable proposition with no receiver cap.

The Pyro Ultra also maintains full compatibility with the broader Pyro family, meaning existing Pyro receivers, including the Pyro 5 and Pyro 7 monitor/transceiver units, will work with the new transmitter. Additionally, iOS and smart device connectivity is built in, so crew members can monitor the camera feed on phones or tablets without dedicated hardware.

Connectivity options

On the physical connectivity side, the Pyro Ultra features both HDMI and SDI. The receiver provides both HDMI and SDI output, while the transmitter includes an HDMI loop-out for local monitoring. Power can be supplied via NP-style batteries or a DC barrel connector, consistent with the rest of the Pyro lineup.

Hollyland’s tiered product philosophy

Beyond the Pyro Ultra itself, our conversation with Lawrence touched on Hollyland’s broader strategic direction. The company, which started with wireless video transmission, has expanded into intercoms, wireless microphones, and even cameras. Lawrence described a tiered approach across all product lines, designed to serve different segments of the production industry.

In the intercom space, for instance, the Solidcom H1 sits at the top tier, supporting up to 80 belt packs and 100 groups for large-scale live events and broadcast productions. The Solidcom C1 Pro targets mid-range filmmaking crews, while the SE and SE Pro offer entry-level, budget-friendly communication solutions for smaller teams.

The same logic applies to wireless video. The Pyro Ultra will serve the high end, the Pyro S and Pyro H cover SDI and HDMI workflows, respectively, and the V-Core provides a solo transmitter option for one-person crews. On the audio side, Hollyland’s LARK wireless microphone line is aimed more squarely at prosumer users and content creators, serving a broader audience outside the traditional film set.

The intercom market is heating up

One of the more interesting observations from the conversation was how quickly the wireless intercom market has evolved. For years, on-set communication was dominated by a handful of expensive, high-end players, and many productions relied on aging analog systems with poor audio quality. Hollyland, along with several other newcomers, has helped drive prices down significantly, making reliable digital intercoms accessible to a much wider range of productions.

Lawrence acknowledged that increased competition is a positive force, noting that it helps educate the market and introduces professional communication tools to industries beyond film and broadcast, including weddings, catering, and corporate events. The price reductions mean that where a production might have previously budgeted for 10 intercom units for key personnel, the same investment now covers 30 or more, making seamless communication a standard part of the workflow rather than a luxury reserved for top-tier sets.

Availability

Hollyland has not released official pricing for the Pyro Ultra. Based on our conversation, the product is expected to launch in spring 2026, most likely around the NAB Show. Final specifications, including confirmed latency figures and detailed feature sets, will be announced closer to release.
