Teradek just released a groundbreaking new wireless system for untethered control over any A/V setup. The Teradek Spark 4K Transmitter/Receiver Set sends premium quality, 4K HDR video and audio to any HDMI destination over a range of up to 500 feet.
In the past, wireless systems were forced to compromise quality for the convenience of being cable-free. That’s no longer the case with Spark 4K, which promises delivery of stunning 4K HDR without audio loss, video signal drops, or pesky loose cables that could cause both.
Key Features of the Teradek Spark 4K:
- HDMI input/output
- Up to 4Kp30 4:2:2, 10-bit HDR
- Up to 500′ line-of-sight
- Zero delay (less than 1ms)
- 1:2 multicast transmission (TX:RX)
- Operates on 5GHz frequency band
- Internal battery on TX allows quick deployments & fewer power accessories
- Bright OLED display (Status/Resolution/Channel/Strength)
- Desktop and Mobile app (Launchpad) for pairing, status, and firmware updates
- USB-C and Barrel Connector power for RX
- Opens up to third party power solutions
The Freedom to Roam
Spark 4K offers unyielding video resolution without the hassle and clutter of long cable runs. This gives a camera person the mobility they need to capture all of the action with virtually no restrictions. Simply connect the Spark transmitter (TX) to the video source, and the receiver (RX) will display the content instantly.
The TX weighs less than 6 oz., while the RX is just barely bigger than a cassette tape. Spark 4K sheds the bulk — as well as tangled cables — for any A/V application. Currently, the Spark 4K transmitter battery is rated for 125 minutes of life at steady 1080i59, and 104 minutes at 4Kp30.
Even with static camera arrangements, such as indoor live streaming fixtures, Spark 4K is an ideal solution for A/V teams looking to remove cables from the equation.
Robust, Reliable Wireless Transmission
Spark 4K runs on the 5GHz frequency band, so it’s much less susceptible to line-of-sight obstructions than a 60GHz system. Even in busy areas like crowded conferences or events, Spark maintains a strong 4K signal through smart frequency hopping. When it senses any interference, it will automatically jump to a clear channel to ensure that the video broadcast never drops. A trustworthy signal is an A/V tech’s best friend in high-stress working environments.
Go Mobile
Through Teradek’s Launchpad app for mobile or desktop, users can monitor their signal strength, pair their transmitters and receivers via Bluetooth, and stay on top of firmware updates. The fully integrated app provides control over essential functions for a seamless wireless experience in every aspect.
Spark 4K provides the ability to wirelessly transmit 4K HDR video and audio from the source to any HDMI-enabled destination. It does it all with less than 1 ms of delay at distances of up to 500 feet, and line-of-sight is hardly an issue. Suitable for weddings, conferences, houses of worship, live venues, and more, Teradek’s Spark 4K wireless solution is the perfect combination of quality, affordability, reliability, and simplicity.
The Teradek Spark 4K HDR Wireless Transmission System is available for pre-order for $1490 at Adorama.
