2 Power supply
2.1 What kinds of battery are suggested for M1 Enhanced?
We suggest using SONY NP-F series batteries such as F970, F750, and F550.
Alternatively, you can use a V-mount battery, but you will need to power the
device via a D-Tap to DC cable.
2.2 How to check battery capacity?
You can check the battery capacity of the device on the top right side of the
screen. There is a battery icon that displays the voltage value. If the
voltage is less than 6.8V, please change the battery.
2.3 Does it support to use Type-C adapter to power device?
No, it is not supported.
2.4 Does it support DC adapter to power device?
Yes, you can. The range of voltage input is 7-16V
2.5 Why the device show battery voltage instead of battery percentage?
The device shows battery voltage instead of battery percentage because there
are many brand s and models of NP-F batteries in the market. Different
brands/models have different battery capacities and discharge curves, and
external equipment cannot accurately detect the remaining battery capacity.
Therefore, showing one kind of battery percentage has no meaning. However,
displaying the battery capacity can more accurately judge the remaining time
of the battery.
3 The differences between M1 Enhanced and M1
3.1 DC port
The M1 Enhanced device adopts a lock nut.
3.2 Main Menu
When using the M1 as a head-monitor,
it is possible to turn off the Wireless module to reduce power
consumption.
R/G/B: Supports tuning the color temperature of the
screen according to the CAM image. The default value is 6500.
Input:
Users have two choices for the video input resource – HDMI and SDI. Especially
when there are two CAMS, users can connect one with HDMI and another one with
SDI, and the device will switch seamlessly.
Image Analysis: Supports resetting all the settings because in M1 Enhanced, it
will save the settings which users have done with image analysis.

Click the right area of the top status bar to access the system interface.
Operaon FAQ
1 Interference
1.1 The walkie talkie singal interference.
Our devices are made of metal casing, so the inside circuit is not interfered
by other wireless signals. However, the power of the walkie talkie is always
huge, which could affect the transmission if the HDMI/SDI cable shielding
properties are not good. To solve this issue, please replace the HDMI/SDI
cable with good anti-interference ability and keep the walkie talkie at least
1m away from the cable.
2 Display abnormal issue
2.1 Why does signal bar 2 display “×” on the M1 Enhanced screen in
transmitter mode?
M1 Enhanced can work as a transmitter and supports up to 2 receivers. There
are 2 signal bars on the screen, and signal bar 2 will display “×” if you only
connect one receiver. To solve this issue, try connecting with 2 receivers.
2.2 How to solve problems like video freeze/blurry and mosaic in receiver
mode?
- Change to a clean channel to avoid signal interference.
- Place the receiver at least 1.7m above the ground.
- Ensure that the power supply is stable.
2.3 How to solve the “No Video” issue In transmitter mode?
- Check the CAM HDMI settings. HDMI information display should be OFF, and HDMI control should be OFF.
- Check the HDMI cable. Please connect the CAM with the monitor through the HDMI cable to check whether the output is correct or not.
- Connect M1 with the computer through the HDMI cable to check whether the transmitter could display the correct video format.
2.4 The camera’s screen turns black when it takes 4K recording
This is due to the limitation of the camera itself, which only allows one of
the HDMI video output or the camera’s screen display to be enabled at a time.
To resolve this issue, you can try setting the shooting format to 1080.
However, photography/video cameras do not have this limitation and support
HDMI video output and camera screen display simultaneously.
2.5 How to solve SONY Micro single camera black screen?
Please follow the steps below:
- Change the HDMI output format to 1080p/i (not the recording format).
- Set the HDMI Information Display to “OFF”.
- Set the HDMI Control to “OFF”.
2.6 The image turns green when connect with ATEMmini ?
The HDMI input port 1 of the ATEMmini only supports RGB mode, and our device
output is YUV format. This is why the image turns green. It is a compatibility
issue. However, port 2/3/4 of the ATEM can work fine.
2.7 Why does the screen freeze or become mosaic on the HollyView app?
Please keep the mobile phone at least 2 metres away from the transmitter.
2.8 Why the monitor screen occurs color block after open Lut function
when connected with our Mars series products?
Issue Phenomenon:
Solution: Please close the 3D-LUT function in the monitor and recheck.
3 Connection
3.1 Lost connection
- Please ensure that you use a DC/NPF battery for power supply, and the battery should be fully charged.
- Please choose a clean channel to avoid frequency interference.
- Keep the transmitter at least 1 metre away from the receiver, then enter the menu page of both units for pairing.
3.2 How many receivers or transmitter could connect with M1 Enhanced
simultaneously?
When using the M1 Enhanced as a transmitter, it can connect to up to two
receivers. When using the M1 Enhanced as a receiver, one transmitter can
connect to up to two M1 Enhanced devices.
3.3 How many smartphones/tablets could connect simultaneously?
Only support when M1 Enhanced worked as transmitter
Mars M1 Enhanced supports connectivity to smartphones or tablets only when it
works as a transmitter. One single transmitter can connect with up to four
smartphones or tablets.
If there is one transmitter and one receiver, it can connect with two
smartphones or tablets.
However, if there is one transmitter and two receivers, it cannot connect with
smartphones or tablets.
3.4 Can the M1 Enhanced directly import LUT file from CAM SD card when
connected with CAM SD card and Card Reader?
The M1 Enhanced does not support the direct import of LUT files from a CAM SD
card or card reader.
4 Others
4.1 Why doesn’t the Mars M1 Enhanced work as a Receiver mode with SDI IN?
The SDI port on the Mars M1 is an SDI IN port, which means it only works in
Transmitter mode and not in Receiver mode. Therefore, it cannot function as a
Receiver.
4.2 How to import LUT file to Mars M1 Enhanced?
To import a LUT file to the Mars M1 Enhanced, please follow the appropriate
instructions.
Please follow the steps below to import a 3D-LUT file (.cube) to
your Mars M1 Enhanced using a USB disk:
- Format the USB disk to FAT32.
- Copy the 3D-LUT file to the USB disk.
- Connect the USB disk to the USB-C interface of the Mars M1 Enhanced.
- Click on the LUT icon and select LUT Import.
- Select the corresponding LUT file and import it to F1-F5. The imported LUT will replace the current LUT in F1-F5.
Note:
The Mars M1 Enhanced supports LUTs with LUT_3D_SIZE of 16/17/32/33/64/65.
4.3 How can I use Mars M1 Enhanced to power my camera through the DC out
interface?
The DC OUT interface can power the camera when it is powered via an NP-F
battery or through DC IN. To achieve this, you will need a 2.0mm DC port to
dummy battery or a DC port to DC port cable.
4.4 How long it could record?
It can record for up to 2 minutes, supports playback, but cannot be exported.
Once the device is rebooted or disconnected from the power source, the
recorded content will be erased.
4.5 What is Trigger?
This function needs to turn on the HDMI recording control on camera.
Once the cameraman starts/stops recording, this action will be synchronized
with Mars M1 Enhanced to start/stop recording accordingly.
4.6 Does Mars M1 Enhanced support 4K input and output?
Overviews: Mars M1 Enhanced supports 4K input. However, when receiving a 4K
input from the camera via HDMI, the display output on the monitor will be
scaled down to 1080p resolution, and only a 1080p signal will be transmitted .
● Mars M1 Enhanced supports input of up to 4K30 resolution. However, the
screen display is limited to 1080p resolution, and as a transmitter, it can
only transmit a maximum resolution of 1080p.
● When 4K30 signal is input through HDMI IN, the device can loop out the same
4K30 signal through HDMI OUT.
4.7 What are the Function ICONS at the bottom of Mars M1 Enhanced?
