How exactly does it work? Is it like using an external vid card on a laptop?

Hi there,

If you are not familiar with HDMI to RGBHV/YUV converter.

so what exactly can you do with it?

hdmi => vga => ?

I don't get it really.

at first glance it sounded like a processor to make a 1080i actually do 1080p via its inputs..

but it just looks like a shitty 1080p downscaler for older non 1080p tvs.

You are right on one thing, you are an idiot. HDfury only remove HDCP from HDMI datastream. What you feed in with HDCP goes out without HDCP.

1080p = 1920x1080
720p = 1280x720

If your display (ANY of them, support 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolution through its VGA/HD15 or YUV/component input.
Then you can get HDMI signal without having to buy a new display.

It adds a HDMI receiver IC to your existing display in order to handshake HDCP with HDMI source (equiped with HDMI transmitter IC).

This third generation supports up to 1080p72 or 1280x720 @ 120hz
compatible with any HDMI source (PS3, X360, STB, BR, Graphics Cards, Mac, ..)

It's used mainly on CRT projector (as people don't want to replace dozens thousands $ projector just to get an HDMI input)
It's also used on HDTV without HDMI input , or Expensive PC monitor to expand their lifetime.

If you don't have an extremelly good/old/preHDMI analog display in hands, you don't need to spend time reading about HDfury.

Video output is either RGBHV through SUB-D HD15 / 5xBNC / DB9 or Component through 3xRCA
Sound output is either Analog stereo (earphone) or Optical SP/DIF with DTS5.1

For those of you asking what it does or what the point is, it is a device for cracking HDCP, letting you use full 1080P/720P output even if your TV doesn't support HDCP or HDMI. If you have a TV that supports HDCP, the HD Fury is useless to you. Think of it as a modchip for your TV/monitor.

I have the first version, very usefull device if you know what to do with it.

This doesn't make sense. So if a person has a 1080i screen with or without HDMI inputs and has an RGB input 1080P can be displayed? :confused:

Many of the earlier HD and HD Ready tv's had 1080p support but did not have HDMI input, component input is more than sufficient to display in 1080p if the screen can support the resolution, its artificial limitations (basically copy protection because component is an analog signal and is not bound to hdcp which provides things like broadcast flags and the ability to control which types of outputs and signals can go where) in periperal devices such as bluray players, consoles and settop boxes that prevent output to 1080p through component. The limitations of component basically are more marketing than anything...contrary to popular opinion hdmi is not really "better" its simply the only format that most media companies agreed to support due to their desire to be able to control copying and time shifting which cannot be done through an analog signal.

This device basically provides a gateway between the devices, that allows the full 1080p signal to pass through, if you screen cannot support the resolution, its not going to anything at all. Thats about as simple as I can explain it but cue may be able to give you some more details, kinda suprised he hasnt jumped in this one...its right up his alley. :)

Simply, it adds hdcp support to monitors & tv that do not have it.
But in order to watch HD, your TV must be able to display HD (720p or 1080i) (throught component, VGA or DVI).

Example: I have an old plasma by QUASAR that is able to display 1080i throught VGA but obviousely it dosen't have HDCP, with HD fury, i am able to hook to my TV a Sky Decoder to watch TV in 1080i.

basically, near all plasmas and LCDs that were produced before HDMI and HDCP are able to display 1080i or at least 720p throught VGA or Component or DVI.

Yes and no. The only reason many displays can't handle 1080P without HDMI is because the device (Blu-Ray player, upscaling DVD player, PS3, etc) won't output 1080P over anything other than HDMI even though the TV or monitor could handle it. Also, while some displays can't handle 1080P, they can handle 1920x1200 which the HD Fury can also output.

Here is one reason this adapter is so clutch. When I built my house I ran a 25ft component cable through the wall and back towards my ceiling mount projector before the contactor hung the sheet rock. Now that time has passed I want to run 1080P to my projector. This poses two problems. The first is that it would cost a lot (if even possible) to snake a 25ft HDMI cable. In additon HDMI becomes unstable (sparkle effect) at the length in my experience. I'd have to repeat the singnal (boo!). This device allows me to take a 1080P HDMI source and run it over my existing component cables. :cool:
