RECEIVER DISPLAY/OSD OPERATION

Press the menu joystick to cycle through the status screens or to return from the menu.

• The MAIN STATUS - Displays the status of the wireless receiver, along with the current video resolution, frequency, and link quality (if connected).
• TIME CODE - Displays the current time code if received from the transmitter.
• INFO - Displays the voltage and internal temperature of the unit.
• TX INFO - Displays the name of the transmitter it is paired to.
• HDMI STATUS - Displays the current HDMI color output

Most of the options listed in this section can also be configured using the Bolt App. Use the Menu Joystick to navigate the configuration menus.

Bolt 4K receivers can pair with up to four transmitters at a time. Switch TX allows you to quickly switch from one paired transmitter's camera feed to another paired transmitter. This feature is especially useful in multi-camera situations when you need to switch to a different camera's view mid-shoot, without having to perform the pairing process every time. NOTE: The transmitter(s) need to first be paired with the receiver.

The Bandwidth menu lets you choose between 40MHz (default) and 20MHz frequency operating modes. Operating Bolt 4K in 20MHz mode reduces the amount of bandwidth by half but doubles the number of usable frequencies. Ensure that both the transmitter and receiver are set to the same bandwidth with a resolution of up to 1080p60. For all available frequencies, refer to the FREQUENCIES BY REGION chart. NOTE: 20MHz mode only supports HD/3G resolutions up to 1080p60 (4K/UHD not supported at this time).

The built-in Spectrum Analyzer provides a visual indication of channel noise and saturation across the entire available frequency range. Move the Menu joystick left and right to select a frequency, then up and down to enable or disable it.

Frequencies are represented by bars; the higher the bar, the more congested that frequency is. Bars without a dot (1) indicate the frequency is not as saturated and can be used. Bars with a dot (2) indicate the frequency is too saturated to connect to. Faded bars (3) represent a frequency that is unavailable for use due to restrictions in particular regions.

The Signal Quality Graph indicates the quality and reliability of the signal being received according to the amount of interference that is present between the RX and TX. Signal Quality is represented in percentages:

• Figures below 30% indicate poor signal quality
• Figures between 30% and 45% indicate fair signal quality
• Figures above 45% indicate good signal quality

Enable pairing on transmitters and receivers. Bolt 4K units purchased as a set (TX and RX) are paired by default, requiring no additional configuration. If the units were purchased separately, or if they have never been paired, you will need to complete the pairing process (page 5). Once Pairing is complete, there is no need to repeat the process unless the TX or RX's OSD name has been modified, or if the region has been changed. To confirm if your devices were paired successfully, open the either the Unpair menu (TX) or the Switch TX menu (RX) and verify that the paired device is listed. NOTE: Before starting the pairing process, ensure that both the transmitter and receiver have the same firmware version and have Bluetooth enabled.

Unpair and remove devices from your unit's paired device registry. This feature is useful in situations when paired devices are no longer being used and need to either be removed from the registry or replaced. Receivers can store up to four transmitters in its device registry. 

You can choose to match the video source’s resolution (Same As Input) or choose from the resolutions listed. If using the receiver with a recorder or monitor that is sensitive to video signal changes, select Continuous Output to ensure the signal stays constant even if the link is interrupted. Keep in mind that selecting Continuous Output adds a small delay to the video output. Selecting SD, HD, or 6G-UHD matches the video source's frame rate while adjusting the resolution. This is useful for when you need to down-convert a 4K video to display on an HD monitor.

• Continuous Output - Video signal output stays constant when using a monitor or recorder that is sensitive to video signal changes.
• Same as Input - Matches the transmitter's video source resolution.
• SD - Matches the TX frame rate and outputs SD resolution.
• HD - Matches the TX frame rate and outputs1920x1080p.
• 6K-UHD - Matches the TX frame rate and outputs 3840x2160.
• Resolutions List- Select a specific output resolution: 
  • 4K (DCI) - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
  • 4K (UHD) - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
  • 1080p - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
  • 1080psf - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30
  • 1080i - 50/59.94/60
  • 720p - 50/59.94/60
  • 480p - 59.94/576p - 50 (via HDMI ports only)
  • 480i (NTSC)
  • 576i (PAL)

Bolt 4K supports all HDMI output modes. You can select from one of the following options:

• Auto
• RGB 8bit
• RGB 10bit
• YCbCR 4:4:4 8bit
• YCbCR 4:4:4 10bit
• YCbCR 4:2:2 10bit
• YCbCR 4:2:0 8bit
• YCbCR 4:2:0 10bit

The 3D LUT settings menu contains specific looks that can be applied to your video output that either match or simulate how the video will appear after editing, along with options for how they are overlayed on your video output (Full or Split-screen). Additional color preset files can be added and saved from your computer using Bolt Manager.

• 3D LUT Presets - Select a specific look from the list of 3D LUT presets.
• 3D LUT Mode - Select whether the look is applied to the entire video output (Full Screen) or
  half (Split Screen).

The Test Pattern menu allows you to select a video resolution format to output a test pattern over HDMI or SDI. 

• Resolutions List- Select a specific output resolution: 
  • 4Kp - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
  • 1080p - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60
  • 1080psf - 23.98/24/25/29.97/30
  • 1080i - 50/59.94/60
  • 720p - 50/59.94/60
  • 480p - 59.94/576p - 50 (via HDMI ports only)
  • 480i (NTSC)
  • 576i (PAL)

Configure Bolt’s Audio settings. If Beep on REC is activated, you will hear a short tone whenever the camera begins or stops recording. The Mute Settings allow you to completely mute audio or only mute audio while recording.

Use the Bluetooth menu to enable or disable Bluetooth communication. NOTE: Bluetooth is disabled by default. In order to configure your Bolt 4K devices via the Bolt App, you must first enable Bluetooth.

Choose when to display the OSD. Selecting the Never show option disables the OSD. The Show when operating option hides the OSD until it is activated by the joystick. Selecting Show when no video will display the OSD when there is no video feed, and will hide OSD when video appears (default). If Always show OSD is selected, the OSD will always be displayed unless temporarily deactivated by the Menu joystick.

Use the Display Settings to control the OLED display operation. By default, the OLED display will invert every 10 minutes. You can set the display to invert every 30 minutes (lengthens the display life), or it can dim or turn off after either 10 minutes or 10 seconds.

Reset all configurable options to their factory defaults.
