MK-V Nexus V4 sled electronics upgrade performance and specifications

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

What the thread found

  • The V4 upgrade adds dual HDSDI connectors along the post compared to earlier versions.
  • HDSDI connectors in V4 use proper LEMO shielded connectors, addressing signal integrity problems present in previous versions.
  • Multiple users running V4 reported stable operation with loads including 12V cameras, dual monitors, SDI transmitters, receivers, and multiple batteries without issues.
  • V4 demonstrated interference resistance when a Motorola radio transmitted nearby without signal breakup.
  • Users operating the V3.5 version reported zero HD breakup and power issues over extended testing periods of six months or longer.
  • V3.5 and V4 are functionally identical except for the addition of two HDSDI lines in V4.

Depends on

  • Testing was conducted by individual users rather than formal manufacturer specifications.
  • No quantified power handling capacity comparisons were provided between versions.
  • Limited information about compatibility with camera models other than those mentioned in anecdotal reports.
  • The prototype version testing timeline and whether it fully represents the production V4 remains unclear.
