Nyrius launches the Phoenix Prime 4K30, a budget wireless HDMI option that can send 4K video up to 50 feet, but with 30fps and no Atmos or HDR.
Nyrius has a new cheap wireless HDMI kit called the Phoenix Prime 4K30. It transmits 4K video without Wi-Fi and comes in HDMI-to-HDMI or USB-C to HDMI versions. It handles 4K up to 30fps at up to 50 feet through walls, or up to 150 feet in open space, with 90ms latency. It does not support Dolby Atmos, HDR, or 60fps gaming. It costs $99.99 in the US and £83.21 in the UK, with Canadian pricing not shown yet. This is ideal for clean setups, presentations, or basic streaming, but not for high-end home cinema or competitive gaming. Look for reviews once more users test it in real homes.
The Phoenix Prime 4K30 is Nyrius’s new, wallet-friendly wireless HDMI option that doesn’t rely on your home Wi-Fi. It promises simple, wire-free 4K video from a source to a tv or projector, handy for setup cleanups or on-the-go presentations.
There are two variants: an HDMI-to-HDMI model for traditional AV receivers, satellite boxes, or laptops with a standard HDMI output, and a USB-C to HDMI version for laptops or desktops whose USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. In both cases you’re delivering 4K video over the air instead of over a cable.
In exchange for the lower price, you’re getting 4K at up to 30 frames per second and no built-in support for Dolby Atmos, HDR, or other advanced video features found in pricier systems. Latency is listed at 90ms on both models, which makes it less suitable for action-heavy gaming. Range is up to 50 feet through walls and floors, and up to about 150 feet in open space when there are no obstacles.
Nyrius positions the Prime 4K30 as a convenient, budget-friendly way to show presentations, run a projector in a classroom, or tidy up a living room setup where a cable-free connection matters more than top-tier picture quality or gaming performance.
The Phoenix Prime 4K30 is available now directly from Nyrius and on Amazon. In the US it’s priced at $99.99; the UK price listed is £83.21. No Canadian pricing was provided in the initial materials.
If you’ve wanted a cleaner TV or projector setup without juggling HDMI cables, the Prime 4K30 could be a good fit. It works as a simple plug-and-play solution for classrooms, small meeting rooms, or a living room where you’re comfortable foregoing Atmos and HDR for a tidy look.
For movie watching, streaming, or gaming that relies on high dynamic range or very low latency, you’ll likely want a higher-end wireless HDMI system or a wired connection. The Prime 4K30 is intentionally basic and budget-friendly, not a replacement for premium wireless setups.
The HDMI-to-HDMI model is best for conventional AV gear and displays. The USB-C to HDMI version targets modern laptops and desktops that use DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. If your device supports that feature, you’ll be able to use the Prime 4K30 without fiddling with extra adapters.
30fps limits and no HDR or Atmos may disappoint if you care about high-fidelity video or immersive sound. Also, the 90ms latency makes it less suitable for action-heavy gaming or rapid-fire multiplayer titles.
If you’re curious about a wire-free 4K option for light usage, this could be worth a try. Look for real-world tests once more users install it in homes or classrooms to see how walls and distances affect performance.
