The Crystal Video Technology PRO Z Zero-Delay Wireless Video System consists of a TX unit that has an SDI In and an HDMI In, and an RX unit that has both SDI and HDMI outputs.

This system features support for up to 1080p60, 10-bit, 4:2:2 video, a scanning feature that selects the best available channel, and OLED display screens on both the transmitter and receiver.
