What the thread found

• The older Cinelive system is based on SD technology.
• Pinout information for these junction boxes is available from the manufacturer's website.
• Upgrading from SD to HD requires replacing both the upper and lower junction boxes along with associated cabling and connectors.
• Third-party technicians can perform HD upgrades by adding HD-BNC cables and outputs to the junction boxes as an alternative to full replacement.
• Upgrading an existing SD system to HD is expensive, and purchasing new HD-capable equipment may offer better value than upgrading older hardware.
• Several independent service providers offer upgrade services for these junction boxes.

Depends on

• The exact cost of upgrades was not specified in the discussion.
• Specific technical details about the wiring and pin configuration were not provided in the thread itself.
• Upgrade pricing and availability may have changed since this 2015 discussion.
• The discussion mentions multiple service providers but does not compare their quality or pricing directly.
