Teradek Ranger MK II 5000 12G-SDI/HDMI Wireless Transmitter/Receiver Set (V-Mount)

Product Overview

The Teradek Ranger MK II 5000 12G-SDI/HDMI Wireless Transmitter/Receiver Set (V-Mount) delivers visually lossless 4K60 video transmission up to 5,000 feet line of sight, making it the highest-range option in the Ranger MK II line for long-distance broadcast and film production. The set includes a V-Mount battery plate on both transmitter and receiver, enabling on-camera or remote-monitor deployment powered by professional V-mount batteries. With 12G-SDI and HDMI I/O, AES-256 encryption, and cross-compatibility with Bolt 4K series devices, the Ranger MK II 5000 is engineered for demanding live production and cinema workflows where range and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

Product Description

The Teradek Ranger MK II 5000 V-Mount wireless video kit transmits uncompressed 4K60 HDR video in 10-bit 4:2:2 with less than 1ms of delay across distances up to 5,000 feet line of sight. Operating across the 4.9 to 6.0 GHz frequency range, the system provides stable transmission in RF-congested environments typical of large-scale live productions, stadium events, and feature film sets. The transmitter accepts 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs with a 12G-SDI loop output, while the receiver delivers dual 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs for flexible signal distribution to monitors, video village, or switching equipment.

Both transmitter and receiver feature integrated V-Mount battery plates, allowing the units to run on standard professional V-mount batteries for untethered deployment. AES-256 encryption with RSA-1024 key exchange secures the wireless link, and the noise rejection system enables up to six Ranger MK II sets to operate simultaneously in the same location alongside Wi-Fi infrastructure. The Bolt Manager app for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows provides Bluetooth-connected spectrum analysis, channel selection, and remote configuration. Timecode, start/stop flags, and ancillary metadata pass wirelessly through the link from most major camera manufacturers.
