In today’s episode, we have a detailed look at the new Hollyland MARS 400S PRO HDMI & SDI wireless video transmitter system. If you need to wirelessly transmit video, the MARS 400S Pro is a good option at the high-end of the consumer range. It also allows you to transmit video to your mobile devices in addition to traditional monitors.
