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
