Teradek has just released a new lineup of wireless video transmitters and receivers: the Teradek Bolt 6. As its name suggests, the Bolt 6 series transmits and receives over the newly-available 6GHz frequency band. However, a Bolt 6 unit can still communicate with a Bolt 4K unit using the industry-standard 5GHz. So let’s take a closer look at all these new zero-delay units from Teradek! Regarding wireless video systems, the industry standard on most film sets worldwide is Teradek. Indeed, the company has been manufacturing zero-delay systems for years, including their Teradek Bolt 4K series. At IBC 2022, the company has just introduced a new series of transmitters, receivers, and monitors using the new 6GHz frequency band: the Teradek Bolt 6.

This new bandwidth is backward compatible with the 5GHz bandwidth, which means Bolt 6 transmitters/receivers can communicate with other Teradek Bolt 4K units using the 5GHz band. The main advantage of the new 6GHz bandwidth is that it opens 12 new “free” channels – from 5.925 to 6.425GHz – to access a clear radio frequency environment. In short, it means that you should have less interference in crowded spaces and the ability for more wireless links to coexist in a single area.
