Bolt 6 XT Quick Start Guide
The Bolt 6 XT Set is a real-time wireless video transmission system that supports 4K video with
Teradek's patented Zero-Delay technology, now with less interference using the newly opened 6GHz
wireless frequency. Bolt 6 XT can send and receive color-accurate, True-HDR videos in under 0.001
seconds using the set's included Bolt 6 XT video Transmitter and Receiver. Bolt 6 XT has been
redesigned to seamlessly fit into your setup, with a smaller, lighter-weight build that runs cooler and
50% quieter than the Bolt 4K. An integrated 5-pin USB port allows for effortless and wireless
camera-control setup when using SmallHD Smart Monitors, and an improved long range wireless
video mode. Bolt 6 also offers new tools for high-end users to have better visibility over their
connections and signals, adding confidence to the workflow no matter how challenging the
environment.
