At BSC Expo 2026, Hollyland provided an early have a look at its upcoming Pyro Extremely wi-fi video transmission system. Constructing on the present Pyro household, the next-generation unit targets skilled movie crews with 4K60 assist, lowered latency within the area of twenty-two milliseconds, limitless receiver connectivity, and full compatibility throughout the Pyro ecosystem, with a spring launch anticipated round NAB.

We sat down with Lawrence on the Hollyland sales space throughout BSC Expo 2026 in London to get the most recent on what the corporate has been engaged on. Whereas the Pyro Extremely just isn’t but formally launched, and closing specs are nonetheless being locked down, the product has been making the rounds at commerce exhibits since IBC 2025, and a proper launch seems imminent.

4K60 and decrease latency

The Pyro Extremely represents a big step ahead from the present Pyro lineup. The place current fashions just like the Pyro S and Pyro H prime out at 4K30 wi-fi transmission, the Pyro Extremely pushes that to 4K60, a long-awaited improve for crews working with greater body fee workflows. The Pyro S at the moment affords 50ms latency in Clean mode, and the Pyro H sits at 60ms, so the Pyro Extremely’s goal of roughly 22 milliseconds would signify a considerable enchancment. This determine was beforehand known as a “Focus Mode” latency at IBC 2025, designed particularly for focus puller-friendly operation the place minimal delay is vital.

Lawrence was cautious to notice that for the reason that product just isn’t but launched, the precise numbers could shift earlier than launch. Nonetheless, the route is obvious: Hollyland is pushing laborious on the latency entrance, which has been a persistent problem for wi-fi video techniques utilized in vital on-set functions equivalent to distant focus pulling.

Limitless receivers and cross-compatibility

The third main function of the Pyro Extremely is its receiver structure. Not like the present Pyro fashions, which assist as much as 4 receivers in broadcast mode, the Pyro Extremely will work with an infinite variety of receivers. It is a vital benefit for bigger movie productions and industrial shoots the place administrators, cinematographers, DITs, gaffers, grips, and different division heads all must see the digicam feed concurrently. Handing out Pyro 5 or Pyro 7 screens to key crew members turns into a much more scalable proposition with no receiver cap.

The Pyro Extremely additionally maintains full compatibility with the broader Pyro household, which means current Pyro receivers, together with the Pyro 5 and Pyro 7 monitor/transceiver models, will work with the brand new transmitter. Moreover, iOS and sensible machine connectivity is in-built, so crew members can monitor the digicam feed on telephones or tablets with out devoted {hardware}.

Connectivity choices

On the bodily connectivity facet, the Pyro Extremely options each HDMI and SDI. The receiver offers each HDMI and SDI output, whereas the transmitter contains an HDMI loop-out for native monitoring. Energy will be provided by way of NP-style batteries or a DC barrel connector, in step with the remainder of the Pyro lineup.

Hollyland’s tiered product philosophy

Past the Pyro Extremely itself, our dialog with Lawrence touched on Hollyland’s broader strategic route. The corporate, which began with wi-fi video transmission, has expanded into intercoms, wi-fi microphones, and even cameras. Lawrence described a tiered method throughout all product traces, designed to serve completely different segments of the manufacturing business.

Within the intercom area, as an example, the Solidcom H1 sits on the prime tier, supporting as much as 80 belt packs and 100 teams for large-scale reside occasions and broadcast productions. The Solidcom C1 Professional targets mid-range filmmaking crews, whereas the SE and SE Professional provide entry-level, budget-friendly communication options for smaller groups.

The identical logic applies to wi-fi video. The Pyro Extremely will serve the excessive finish, the Pyro S and Pyro H cowl SDI and HDMI workflows, respectively, and the V-Core offers a solo transmitter possibility for one-person crews. On the audio facet, Hollyland’s LARK wi-fi microphone line is aimed extra squarely at prosumer customers and content material creators, serving a broader viewers outdoors the normal movie set.

The intercom market is heating up

One of many extra fascinating observations from the dialog was how rapidly the wi-fi intercom market has advanced. For years, on-set communication was dominated by a handful of costly, high-end gamers, and lots of productions relied on ageing analog techniques with poor audio high quality. Hollyland, together with a number of different newcomers, has helped drive costs down considerably, making dependable digital intercoms accessible to a a lot wider vary of productions.

Lawrence acknowledged that elevated competitors is a optimistic drive, noting that it helps educate the market and introduces skilled communication instruments to industries past movie and broadcast, together with weddings, catering, and company occasions. The worth reductions imply that the place a manufacturing may need beforehand budgeted for 10 intercom models for key personnel, the identical funding now covers 30 or extra, making seamless communication a regular a part of the workflow somewhat than a luxurious reserved for top-tier units.

Availability

Hollyland has not launched official pricing for the Pyro Extremely. Based mostly on our dialog, the product is predicted to launch in spring 2026, most definitely across the NAB Present. Last specs, together with confirmed latency figures and detailed function units, shall be introduced nearer to launch.
