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.
