SD to HD upgrade conversion for PRO sled stabilizer systems

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

What the thread found

  • An SD PRO sled can be upgraded to HD by adding new HD-capable signal lines and replacing Lemo connectors with ones that support HD-SDI transmission
  • The upgrade adds an additional HD signal path alongside the original post cable, utilizing previously unused pins in the Lemo connector for the picture line
  • The converted sled gains HD-SDI BNC connectors on both the top and bottom, enabling full HD operation while preserving the original post functionality
  • A complete upgrade including shipping to and from Spain can be completed in under two weeks

Depends on

  • The upgrade was performed on a PRO model sled, not the original PRO2 model mentioned in passing
  • Pricing and turnaround time reflect a specific service provider's operations and may vary
  • No technical details provided about video quality comparison or compatibility with specific camera heads
