Following the debut of the Pyro H (read more here) at NAB 2024, Hollyland has now officially released the second model in the series, the Pyro S. This post will provide a detailed overview of the Hollyland Pyro S, highlighting its features, technology, and what sets it apart from its competitors.
A quick overview
The Hollyland Pyro S is part of Hollyland’s new Pyro series, known for its cutting-edge wireless video transmission solutions. This series includes the Pyro H, Pyro S, and the upcoming Pyro 7. The Pyro S stands out with its advanced features and robust performance, making it an excellent choice for professional videographers and broadcasters.
Revolutionary ADH Technology
One of the standout features of the Hollyland Pyro S is its Auto Dual-band Frequency Hopping (ADH) technology. This self-developed technology by Hollyland allows the Pyro S to switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies automatically. This ensures that the system can maintain a stable connection even in environments with significant wireless interference. The Hollyland Pyro S can deliver real-time footage monitoring with minimal latency, supporting 4K/30fps video transmission up to 400 meters (1300 feet) without the need for broadcast mode.
Smooth Mode vs. HD Mode
The Hollyland Pyro S offers two distinct transmission modes to cater to different user needs:
Smooth Mode
Smooth mode is ideal when real-time feedback is crucial. It provides a continuously adjustable bitrate with a latency of just 50ms, ensuring ultra-long-distance transmission is smooth and reliable.
HD Mode
HD mode prioritizes image quality, offering a stable bitrate of 8-12 Mbps. This mode is perfect for situations where higher image quality is essential, maintaining a robust connection up to 400 meters (1300 feet) line-of-sight.
Comprehensive Connectivity Options
The Hollyland Pyro S excels in connectivity, offering both HDMI and SDI input/output options. This versatility makes it compatible with a wide range of devices and setups. Additionally, the Pyro series supports USB Video Class (UVC) and Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), making it a versatile tool for various streaming and broadcasting needs.
Comparison with Pyro H and Pyro 7

Both the transmitter and receiver are equipped with color LCD control displays, providing an intuitive user interface and quick access to settings. While the Pyro S and Pyro H rely on external monitors for video display, the Pyro 7 will come with an integrated 7-inch monitor.
