Built on the same 6GHz platform as the Bolt 6 for zero-delay wireless video transmission, the new Teradek Bolt 7 features a new, dedicated 900MHz RF channel for data and remote camera control, a larger full-color OLED display, a new direct Wired Pairing mode, USB-C video with select cameras and monitors, and more. Pricing starts at $5,990 for a TX+RX bundle.

Four years have gone by since Teradek last updated its industry-leading, zero-delay wireless video system. Launched at IBC 2022, the Bolt 6 was the company’s first model to exploit the low-interference 6GHz band.

Now, with IBC 2026 right around the corner, the new Bolt 7 inherits this capability while taking Teradek’s wireless video transmission system to a whole new level of workflow integration. Let’s take a closer look!

Teradek Bolt 7 – 6GHz for video, 900MHz for data

In perfect Teradek style, the new Bolt 7 comes in different flavors – 750, 1500, and MAX – offering a maximum operating range of up to 228m/750ft, 450m/1500ft, and 1.5km/5,000ft, respectively. All Bolt 7 models are backward-compatible with Teradek Bolt 6, Bolt 4K, and Ace products, though some new features – like 900MHz data transmission – are not supported.

Just like its predecessor, video transmitted via the Bolt 7 travels on the less congested 6GHz band without any delay, and a paid Advanced Spectrum License is also available to unlock additional frequencies or make 5MHz channel adjustments. The system supports 4:2:2 10-bit signals over SDI and 4:4:4 RGB 8-bit signals over HDMI, with a maximum resolution of 4096×2160 at 60fps.

The biggest differences from Bolt 6, however, are clear at first glance when looking at the redesigned TX unit. It has the same size across the different models (750/1500/MAX) and now features a third external antenna, opening up a new 900MHz radio frequency that is fully dedicated to data transmission.

This serves several interesting applications, including, for example:

• robust, remote camera control via a SmallHD monitor (Camera Control license required), Teradek CTRL.5, or third-party apps, bypassing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth entirely;
• live remote color grading using Pomfort Livegrade;
• wireless transmission of shading and telemetry data.

Redesigned TX and RX with enhanced USB-C capabilities

Compared to the Bolt 6 XT transmitter, the chassis of the new TX is roughly 20% smaller and, just like the new RX, now features a larger 2” OLED screen with a full-color UI displaying settings, status info, or a custom Quick-Action Menu to access frequently used functions.

The RX unit differs slightly between the 750/1500 and the MAX models. Indeed, while the number of antennas is the same, two of these are hidden inside the chassis on the smaller-footprint Bolt 7 750 and 1500 RX. On the other hand, the bulkier MAX RX also hosts an RJ45 Ethernet connector.

Both the Bolt 7 TX and RX have a 5-pin USB and a USB-C port that supports DP-ALT Mode (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). This allows the TX to receive high-quality video and data over USB-C from select cameras – like the Blackmagic PYXIS or the latest iPhone models – and the RX to pass on similar data to a compatible monitor.

Moreover, the addition of a new direct Wired Pairing mode allows users to connect the TX and RX via a 5-pin USB-to-USB-C cable to speed up pairing. This can come in handy during prep, for example, to skip wireless connection entirely.

Smart battery cradles for Teradek Bolt 7

Along with the new TX and RX units, Teradek is also introducing revamped battery cradles for Bolt 7. Available in both V-mount and Gold mount options, these new accessories rely on pogo connectors to pass power and battery metadata through the TX/RX and onto cameras and monitors.

Price and availability

The new Teradek Bolt 7 series is now available to pre-order from CVP. Transmitters and receivers can be purchased separately or bundled. Official pricing for the TX/RX sets is as follows:

• Teradek Bolt 7 750 – $5,990
• Teradek Bolt 7 1500 – $8,990
• Teradek Bolt 7 MAX – $13,990
