DisputedParticipants disagreed and reached no conclusion. Read the findings as positions, not as an answer.
What the thread found
- The MK-V Nexus uses the same pin arrangement as the PRO recorder output on a 4-pin 0B Lemo connector
- Pin 1 carries ground, pin 2 carries positive voltage (adjustable between 5V, 7.2V, 9V, or 12V), pin 3 carries video signal, and pin 4 carries video ground
- A 5-pin variant exists with pin 5 designated for video return
Depends on
- The voltage regulation is performed by the V2 D-Box unit
- Conflicting information exists about whether the standard configuration is 4-pin or 5-pin
- One source mentions 9V on pin 2 while another indicates 12V as the standard, suggesting voltage is configurable rather than fixed
