Wireless HD Video
The Bolt Pro 300 is a zero
delay wireless video trans�
mission system designed
for the most demanding
cinema, broadcast, and
UAV applications. At less
than 1ms latency, Bolt Pro
can transmit 1080p60 4:2:2
video at up to 300ft line of
sight over the unlicensed
5GHz band.
Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (G) to the ON position.
Video appears within a few seconds.
Connect power to your Bolt transmitter using the included P-Tap to Lemo cable.
Power the Bolt receiver with the included A/C adapter or battery plate accessory. If
using the battery plate, connect a compatible battery (AB Gold mount or V-Lock) to
the plate, and connect the short cable from the plate to the receiver’s DC input (H).

MOUNTING
Bolt uses a 0B 302 series LEMO connector (FGG.0B.302.CLADxx).
Pin Description
1* GND
2 +DC
* Pin 1 is closest to the red dot on the LEMO connector
•Test the power cable polarity with ONLY the power cable connected to Bolt. Do not connect video cables.
• Check the power cable for shorts and proper grounding.
• Keep the transmitter and receiver at close range for 60 seconds after powering on the devices. This allows
them to scan for and select the best wireless channel.
• For best results when using multiple Bolt systems in the same area, place the transmitters and receivers
a few feet apart from each other.
•Operation of other wireless equipment may interfere with the Bolt. For best results, separate other
wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible.
• Mount the Bolt Pro 300 transmitter vertically, keeping the antennas clear of any obstructions.
• Orient the transmitter and receiver so they are parallel to each other.
• For best results, orient the receiver so the front or back has clear line−of−sight to the transmitter.
CAUTION: Using a reverse polarity or improperly−constructed power cable can damage the product
and is not covered under warranty.
