WIRELESS SETTINGS - VIDEO QUALITY

The Video Quality menu lets you adjust the balance between your signal’s maximum 

range and quality according to the number of antennas used to transmit fine 

information. Bolt 4K has three picture quality levels that vary based on the lowest 

quality link or the furthest receiver. 

 

13

●  

Auto Mode

- (

Default

) Transmitter automatically determines how 

   many fine antennas are needed based on the range and 

   signal quality

●  

Longer Distance Mode

- (

One fine antenna

) Maintains the maximum range in 

   situations where other sources of interference might  

   be present, but will slightly reduce your video signal’s 

   maximum quality

●  

Better Quality Mode

- (

Two fine antennas

) Maintains higher signal quality, but 

   reduces the maximum range

●  

Best Quality Mode

- (

Three fine antennas

) Ideal for complex, high contrast 

   scenes that require the highest possible quality

●  

Low Power Mode

- (

One fine antenna with shorter range

) Reduces the 

   transmitter's total power consumption by about 1.5W, 

   and may reduce any unwanted interference in multi-

   system environments

PAIR

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 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

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. Transmitters can store up to six paired 

receivers in its device registry.
