Designed to seamlessly integrate with the SmallHD Smart 7 monitors such as the Cine and Indie 7, and the 702 Touch, the new longer range monitor modules can transmit and receive video signals from 1080p up to 4K/30p at distances of up to 1500 feet line of sight. In addition, the new 1500 TX/RX modules support unlimited Bolt receivers when in Broadcast mode. And last but not least, wireless camera control for ARRI cameras is supported, while a future beta firmware will enable RED Komodo remote control as well.
