Q: 1. What kind of compression does this use, and what is the bitrate?

A: According to Hollyland their code rate is 8M-10M.

Q: 2. What kind of battery life can I expect from say a NP-550? And is there a chance for interference with wireless mics?

A: Hi Nathan, for a NP-550, battery life is about 2 hours.There's no interference with wireless mics which usually is 600-900 MHz.

Q: 3. Can this be powered by Panasonic Camcorder 7.2V batteries I use for powering my AG-UX90? Will the batteries fit?

A: Hi Pesi, No that's not fit. The Mars 400S can be power by: a) Sony NPF batteries b) use the DC 2.1 power adapter that comes along c) Use D-TAP to DC 2.1 Power cable to connect the Mars 400S to the V-mount batteries

Q: 4. Does it do cross conversion? can I input SDI on the TX and HDMI on the RX? or vice versa?

A: Actually, I just tried it and seems like it does work.

Q: 5. Is there a way to power both the transmitter and receiver via DTAP?

A: You will need to use a 12V D-Tap cable. This will allow you to power both the receiver and the transmitter.

Q: 6. Latency?

A: To transmit video, the MARS 400S uses a 5Ghz frequency band, with up to 400 feet (120m) line-of-sight range. According to Hollyland, the latency is less than 0.1 second.

Q: 7. Is it possible to connect this device with Video Switcher Sony MCS 8M

A: Yes it is. The MCS 8M has both SDI and HDMI inputs.

Q: 8. can these be used for live streaming? Will latency be an issue?

A: This is a point to point transmission system. It does not have live streaming built in.

Q: 9. Can Dessqueze the image in an Os Device?

A: While the Hollyland Mars 400 doesn't have desqueezing features, it can send an anamorphic image that can be desqueezed on the receiver end with a functional recorder/monitor or capture device.
