Who uses wireless video transmitter? Will you upgrade to 4k video transmitter like this Hollyland Mars 4K?

@krislee4645 Жыл бұрын

4k is definitely what I want

Yeah, definitely

I would like to use it in a livestream. However I found Accsoon products are far better in case of low latency (I compare to oldest Mars products). Wonder if this one will be good enough to sync during live event.

What happens when you input DCI 4K? Does it convert it into UHD 4K?

@ShaneVanLitz Жыл бұрын

Have you done a test to see how the latency compares with the other Hollyland systems? I've got the older 400S (non pro) and I'm wondering if it'd be worth the upgrade for latency. The image doesn't look that much better honestly, but if it is at least faster then I'd consider it!

@TheRealRichardWong Жыл бұрын

hi Shane, no sorry i haven't done testing comparing the older hollyland products. I think 400s probably has slightly slower latency, but the difference would be quite minor.

@mohdshahranbindaud8337 Жыл бұрын

We just bought this. At the moment we are having trouble to sync the audio with the visual. We have to take the audio input from the final mixing if the audio mixer and from there, the problem occurs. Any suggestions to fix this or workaround to fix this? It's hard to get any solution around since this unit is still new.

@TheRealRichardWong Жыл бұрын

hello there, to be honest i didn't test the audio with the Mars 4K. I only used/tested it as a pure video transmitter to display on another monitor

@gnsx.3691 Жыл бұрын

Does the battery get places on top of the fan slot? The 400S had the same issue, using it continuously for 3+ hours, damaged the TX unit here. The one that was running vis DC didn't have the prob.

@TheRealRichardWong Жыл бұрын

there are multiple fan/ventilation slots on the unit, but one of them is indeed behind the battery.

I recently got a Teradek Bolt 4K. Though it is a very nice system, Holyland definitely gives runs for its money. Seems very nice. Teradek claims their system has 0 latency, and it was important to me at the wedding when speeches / Dances and when bride walks in to show exactly what’s going on/lip synching and dances with music were synchronized

@TheRealRichardWong Жыл бұрын

yes the Teradek one seems amazing! I do wonder what is the actual latency as it's impossible to have real zero latency.

@fabmartel Жыл бұрын

fake, zero latency is impossible. check , do test correctly, record and publish on youtube your result ;-)

If you don’t need/require the 4K would you recommend just getting the 400spro?

@TheRealRichardWong Жыл бұрын

Good question! If i don't need 4k at all, then it is a much harder choice. Mars 4k should still has slighty smaller latency, and longer range, but 400S Pro is probably good enough in these areas for most user.

@costa_konstantinou_dp Жыл бұрын

Hollyland claim a max. bandwidth of 20MBit/s (standard setting is 12MBit/s) - maybe switching to 20MBit/s could bring a big difference with the compression. Or is the 20MBit/s mode only for HD? Which would be a missed opportunity.

@costa_konstantinou_dp Жыл бұрын

From their website: "The Mars 4K achieves an incredible LOS range of 450ft (150m) and ultra-low latency of 0.06s. Its upgraded dual-core codec chip is capable of a data rate ranging from 8 Mbps to 20 Mbps, with 12 Mbps as the default."

@TheRealRichardWong Жыл бұрын

@@costa_konstantinou_dp hey Konstantin, the info i received before launch only said 12Mbps. there were no info about 8-20Mbps. I did see the info you list after luanch but so far I haven't find a way to change that setting manually. So not sure to be honest. but as you can see the HD mode result in my video it is still not exactly as sharp/nice as I hope.

Your right zero delay is impossible, the delay of a Teradek is 0.001 seconds, which is visually lossless. The human eye cant perceive the Teradek’s latency.
