What the thread found

• Master series sleds are factory-equipped with multiple coaxial lines running down the post
• Converting to HD video involves disconnecting the coaxial cable supplying composite video to the monitor through the 4-pin Hirose connector
• The replacement coaxial connection must be kept as short as possible in the front section due to space constraints
• HD coaxial cable is sensitive to orientation changes and losing proper shielding
• The converted line is connected to a composite video BNC connector at the lower stage, replacing one of three existing BNC connectors with an HD-style BNC
• This modification typically requires approximately three hours of labor and costs between $500-$600 including parts

Depends on

• Procedure is specific to Master series sleds
• Space limitations in the front section restrict full HD coaxial installation
• The conversion reuses existing composite video infrastructure rather than installing dedicated HD cabling
• No confirmation provided regarding whether this modification has been tested or completed successfully
