17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

The new sled features both HD and SD video coax runs that are isolated from each other, allowing flexible routing for live production scenarios.
The sled contains three dedicated power lines per battery for a total of nine lines, providing increased amperage and reduced voltage drop compared to the previous design.
The SD BNC output on the battery rack is connected to the 8-pin monitor output.
When using one video format as primary, the alternate video run can be used for return feeds or program monitoring in live television operations.
The improved power distribution system helps maximize the performance of existing batteries by reducing voltage loss from bottom to top of the post.

The exact wire gauge of the new power lines was not specified in the discussion.
Specific details about the previous sled design were not provided for direct comparison.
The discussion does not clarify whether HD video can be transmitted down the SD coax run.
