Spark 4K Receiver — professional wireless video
The Teradek Spark 4K Receiver is a professional wireless video device that receives up to 4Kp30 resolution over the 5 GHz band. It is built for live production, broadcast and post-production teams who need secure, low-latency monitoring without cable runs. AES-128 encryption with RSA-1024 key exchange protects the feed from unauthorised access. Flexible mounting options let it sit on a tabletop or attach via bottom, side or tripod mounts.
Thermals, noise and power in normal use
The compact tabletop design has no active cooling fans, so it operates silently during monitoring and recording sessions. Power consumption stays low enough to run from standard USB-C sources or the included battery plate without generating noticeable heat. Smart frequency hopping on the 5 GHz band maintains a stable link up to 500 ft line of sight while keeping the radio subsystem cool. The receiver sustains continuous operation for full production days without thermal throttling.
What the bundled accessories and software change
An HDMI 1.4 Type-A output connects directly to monitors, switchers or recorders with no adapters required. The supplied battery plate and USB-C power cable give immediate mobile operation away from mains outlets. Teradek's patented Joint Source Channel Coding firmware delivers sub-millisecond latency while preserving image quality across the link. Mounting hardware for bottom, side and tripod configurations is included, so the receiver is rig-ready in any orientation.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the Spark 4K Receiver to my monitor and what step is often missed?
Use the HDMI 1.4 Type-A output for video; the step people miss is pairing the receiver with its transmitter on a clear 5 GHz channel before going live.
What part will need attention or replacement after extended use?
The internal wireless module and HDMI port are the components most likely to require service after heavy daily operation.
What limit appears first during a long shoot?
The 500-foot line-of-sight range is the first constraint; obstructions or spectrum crowding will reduce usable distance before latency or resolution limits are reached.
