The HDfury2 had an RGB output similar to the HDfury1 but with extended colour depth range for better colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the HDfury 3, the component features from HDfury2 were kept while the RGB and audio output were completely re-worked and improved. We are now extremely proud to announce that the LEFT SHIFT issue in RGB mode is NO MORE! The HDfury3 allows users to shift the picture LEFT\/RIGHT at will through push buttons. The colour depth upscaling feature is now also user selectable (ON\/OFF via DIP switch). The HDfury X3 also features 4 customizable EDID banks, two of which may be used to limit the output resolution to 1080i out of the box (again via DIP switches). A very useful feature for anyone with a display that supports 1080i but not 1080p and has sources that do not offer manual setting of the output resolution. Also included are two HDMI 1.3 inputs with Deep Colour support and MANUAL or AUTO switching. Owners of fussy RGB displays will also be happy to learn that the H\/V syncs may also now be force to either positive or negative via DIP switch. The RGB pixelclock bandwidth is greatly improved with 225Mhz support (1080p\/72 is now perfectly resolved)!\u003cbr\u003e\nFor information on how to set these options see our HDFury 3 User Manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x HDMI 1.3 input with Deep Colour support (Manual or Auto switch mode available, user selectable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent (YPbPr\/YCbCr) and VGA (RGBHV) video output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound output in both Analog and Digital Optical (S\/PDIF 5.1 Dolby\/DTS) through an innovative 3.5mm combo jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x EDID banks (2 per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in user selectable output resolution limit settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomisation settings available through DIP SWITCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfectly and automatically center image in all standard NTSC\/PAL component modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManually adjust horizontal screen position in all NTSC\/PAL RGBHV modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforms Colour Depth Upscaling in all modes (ON\/OFF user selectable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSync Polarity Inverter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic SD\/HD color-space selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccept third party accessories on its output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved output cable driver for driving long cable runs (40-50′)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware upgradeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHDFury 3 Specs \u0026amp;

Unfortunately the Dell one does not support a 1920×1080 resolution correctly while the Sony one will display it perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\nSo once again, performing the above test will allow to find out if HDMI 720p or 1080p could be displayed on your screen with HDfury X3 RGBHV output.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe believe that the EDID of any 1920×1200 monitor could be updated in order to support 1920×1080 resolution. More on that later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlasma and LCD HDTVs are oftenly listed as “Supporting 720p\/1080i” or “720p\/1080i compatible”.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis does not mean that these displays are TECHNICALLY ABLE to handle 1280×720 or 1920×1080 resolution !\u003cbr\u003e\nIn fact most of them are 1024×768 max resolution\u003cbr\u003e\nBasically those displays will receive a higher resolution signal through their components or VGA input and DOWNSCALE it to 1024×768 (the best supported resolution)\u003cbr\u003e\nThe well designed (often more expensive) displays will DOWNSCALE 1280×720 or 1920×1080 through both VGA and\/or component input.

If you want a valid ticket to the Full HD world you either need a compatible display (with HDMI input) or an HDfury X3 for your existing display. 1080p FULLHD as found on Blu-ray and HD has over 6 times the resolution as standard DVD and TV.

If your display doesn’t have a HDMI input you won’t be able to display 720p\/1080p signal on it (from HDMI sources). Prior to exchanging video data, the HDMI source exchanges HDCP keys with HDMI display. Both devices have a special HDCP chip embedded. If your display doesn’t include an HDCP chip, even if it’s technically able to display 720p or 1080p signal, it will display a BLACK SCREEN. On some devices (ex: Playstation3, Xbox360) 1080p mode is only available through the HDMI output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eI use component cables to connect my Blu-Ray or DVD player to my display device and it works just fine! Why do I need HDfury 3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlu-Ray and many DVD players can also upconvert standard definition DVDs to higher resolutions (720p, 1080i, 1080p), but they only do this via the HDMI outputs (not component). So if you want to get the higher resolution benefits of your player’s upconversion circuitry, you’re forced to use HDMI. As well, in the future it may not be possible to pass certain high definition content over component video cables. A content flag called the ICT (Image Constraint Token) allows broadcasters and movie studios to limit or “down-res” the HD video signal to standard definition 480P resolution over component video cables. Hollywood has reportedly agreeed to not activate this flag until 2012. And the most important reason to use HDfury 3: The picture quality is substantially better! (Sharper\/cleaner\/less noise\/less ringing\/etc). Talk to someone who uses one or read the reviews !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMy picture ‘blanks out’ from time to time when using the HDfury 3. Why is this happening?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the HDfury 3 blue LED is OFF during the picture blanking, the problem is with the HDfury X3 or the power supply.

DIP switch 6 is used to turn the blue LED on\/off, make sure it is set to ON if you are experiencing problems with your HDfury3. The blue LED will never come on if you have DIP switch 6 set to off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to use the sound output on the HDfury 3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely not. The audio output of the HDfury 3 is a convenience feature if you do not have a home theater receiver. The HDfury3 supports stereo analog output as well as 5.1 Dolby\/DTS digital SPDIF output. If all you have are the speakers in your TV you can use the 2-channel analog audio output of the HDfury3 as a covenient way to feed audio directly into your TV without having to run separate (possibly long) audio cables from the source to your TV as in many setups the HDfury 3 will be plugged right into the TV. This way you only need to run one HDMI cable to the TV and then use a short audio cable from the HDfury3 to the TV sound input. Anyone with a home theater receiver\/pre-amp and separate speakers should instead connect their source devices directly to the receiver\/pre-amp and not use the HDfury 3 sound output. You may use the 5.1 Dolby\/DTS digital audio output of course if the positioning of your HDfury 3 makes this more convenient. The choice is up to you! Typically there is no need to use the audio features of the HDfury X3 with a home theater setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I hook up the audio from the HDfury X3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDfury 3 has both analog and digital (TOSLINK) audio output in one connector located on the bottom of the unit labelled “D\/A” along with a headphone symbol. It’s a 2-in-1 connector meaning that you can plug in either a 3.5mm stereo analog jack or a digital mini-TOLINK (3.5mm mini-jack) cable and get stereo analog sound or 5.1 Dolby\/DTS digital sound out of the HDfury 3.

In the case of two active video signals whichever became active first will be chosen. The HDfury 3 will then remain locked on that input until that source is turned off. In order words: If two sources are active and you wish to switch to the other, turn off the currently active one in order to switch to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat resolutions does the HDfury 3 support?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDfury 3 supports any resolution\/refresh rate combination (interlaced or progressive) up to 1080p\/72Hz in RGB output mode, and 1080p\/60 in component (YPbPr) output mode. 1080p\/24 is also supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the HDfury 3 change the resolution?

It converts the HDMI 1.3 digital input signal to an analog RGBHV (VGA) or Component (Y\/Pb\/Pr) signal. It also provides HDCP decryption if needed. The HDfury X3 outputs whatever resolution you feed it. Feed 1080p in and you’ll get 1080p out. Feed 480i in and you’ll get 480i out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the HDfury 3 support both Component and RGB video output?

Make sure to use one of HDfury 3 RGB cables to connect the HDfury3 to your display’s RGB (VGA) input. Three RGB cables are available: A VGA (D-Sub15) cable, a 5-BNC cable, and a special Barco CRT projector port 3 cable. Do not use the component 3 RCA (phono) style connector as it will not work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eI have a scaler or doubler with DVI\/HDMI inputs and an RGB or Component output connected to my display device. I don’t need an HDfury X3 right?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot true. You still need the HDfury 3 if you want to use HDMI sources such as Blu-Ray or DVD players as they use HDCP (high definition copy protection). The scaler is not allowed to output an analog RGB or Component signal. The scaler will simply TURN OFF its analog output or limit it to 480i resolution. Only the digital DVI\/HDMI outputs will remain on. To solve this, connect the HDfury 3 to the DVI\/HDMI output of your scaler, and then connect the HDfury3 to your display device using the analog RGB or Component input. Simple!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eI have a scaler or doubler with DVI\/HDMI inputs and a DVI\/HDMI output connected to my display device’s DVI\/HDMI input. I don’t need an HDfury 3 right?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe. You still need the HDfury 3 if you want to use HDMI sources such as Blu-Ray or DVD players that have HDCP-protected content *and* your display device only has a DVI input. The scaler, must pass the HDCP-protected content all the way to your display device. The display device must decrypt the content. If your display device only has a DVI input and it does not support HDCP, it will not be sent a signal. To solve this, connect the HDfury 3 to the DVI\/HDMI output of your scaler, and then connect the HDfury3 to your display device using the analog RGB or Component input.

Can I do that?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HDfury X3 supports analog output cables up to 40-50 feet in length. The HDfury1 did not allow for longer output cables while the HDfury2 support cables up to 25-35 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the HDfury 3 support 24fps found in next generation Blu-Ray and HD DVD players?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes! While the HDfury1 does not, the HDfury2 and HDfury 3 do support 24fps. With cathodic displays such as CRT projectors or CRT based RPTVs or tube TVs, 24fps is too low of a frequency for the display to use. The image will flicker like crazy and will not be watchable. You must turn off 24fps support in the source when using a CRT based display. You can however use 24fps on a plasma or LCD display and it will be displayed nicely using the HDfury 3! Note however that most displays that do not have HDMI inputs will not work at 24 Hz as 24 Hz support was generally added to displays after HDMI was invented. To turn off 24 Hz, set your source devices to 50 or 60 Hz output and not 24 frames (Hz) or “Automatic”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eI can only get lower resolutions to work.

If your TV does not support 1080p, set your sources to 1080i or 720p. Some sources will automatically use the highest resolution available to them based on what they see connected, and since they see the HDfury X3 which supports 1080p FULL HD, the source will ‘think’ you have a 1080p capable TV and is most likely feeding the HDfury X3 a 1080p signal. You need to lower this to 1080i or 720p in the source device.\u003cbr\u003e\n(2) Make sure that the 24fps output option in the source device is set to OFF or DISABLED and not AUTOMATIC unless your TV specifically supports 24fps. Most do not, especially older TVs that do not have HDMI inputs.\u003cbr\u003e\n(3) Make sure you’re using the HDfury 3 power supply at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eI’m still getting a black screen from my PS3 when using the HDfury 3. How can I fix this?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is that you likely connected the HDfury 3 to the HDMI port while the PS3 was still setup to output by another port (component or composite). The result is no picture over HDMI. The PS3 will output low resolution on every output when you reset the display settings this way: PS3 in stand by mode, hold on power for 5 sec until you heard 3 beeps.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe PS3 restarts and you can than access low resolution through both HDMI and\/or other ports and perform the display test to choose your preferred resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOn my PS3 I can see the menu, play games and blu-ray discs, but I get a blank screen or an out of range error message when I play a DVD.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou need to change a setting in your PS3: In addition to setting up the HDMI resolution on the PS3 as outlined above, you also have to go under the Blu-Ray playback settings and adjust the DVD upscale feature because by default it will also be 1080p. Another hint: When you first connect an HDfury device to the PS3 the PS3 will ask: “A new HDMI device has been detected, do you want to use it?” Answer ‘YES’ ONLY if your TV is 1080p capable. Otherwise answer ‘NO’, and you will be presented with another screen where you will be able to change the resolution settings and set them manually to whatever your TV supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMy picture is blank when I play back Blu-ray discs but not when I play DVDs. What’s going on?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlu-ray discs are natively 1080p\/24Hz. You likely have your Blu-ray player set to 24Hz or “Automatic” frame rate output so that it is outputting a 24 Hz (fps) signal. Most displays that do not have HDMI inputs do not work at 24 Hz so you need to turn this off. Either set your Blu-ray player to 50 or 60Hz or set ‘Automatic Frame Rate’ to off.

Then use the L\/R momentary contact switch on the side of the HDfury 3 to shift the image left or right until it is centered. This only needs to be done when you use a new resolution for the first time. The HDfury3 will then remember the setting for that resolution for the next time you use it. The “theoretical” correct RGB center values are already programmed into the HDfury 3 core so in many cases no shifting will be required, but testing has shown that some TVs do need a slight adjustment.

In other words, if your display supports 1080i but not 1080p, in your source set up menus choose 1080i or uncheck 1080p from the list of supported resolutions.

The source “sees” the 1080p capable HDfury 3 and therefore sets its resolution to 1080p, requiring you to manually change the resolution every time you want to use that source if your TV doesn’t support 1080p. Very annoying!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Some displays may run hot or even malfunction if feed a resolution that is too high such as 1080p. If you know your display doesn’t like 1080p, turning it off in the HDfury3 adds some piece of mind and assurance that you’ll never accidentically feed it too high a resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_empty_space\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I limit the HDfury3 to only allow 1080i?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can limit one or both of the HDMI inputs on the HDfury 3 to only allow 1080i.
