HDfury FX4 HDMI to RGB/YUV/DVI & HDMI Converter with Scaler Firmware

The difficulty with this HDR to SDR conversion actually does not lie in the algorithmic mapping of HDR PQ signal into the SDR domain but the fact that the result video even when converted with just PQ conversion does not look the same on TV. Its clear that when a HDR tv goes into HDR mode, it activates processing that is not uniform across different TVs. the image appears somewhat different between HDR TVs based on our experiments. Therefore, said from another point of view, what you see on HDR TV - when converted back to SDR - does not appear similar on different 1080p screens because the HDR image already was different.Also, different HDR sources are mastered for different target nits. Some for 1100 / 1400 or 4000 or 10000 nits. Regular SDR is 300nits. So converting and scaling from a moving target into 300nits is another issue. Sometimes image is darker and sometimes lighter. All these taken into account the product needs a robust color processing in addition to PQ conversion. We have done just that and that's why the delay to do it. Here is the first iteration of all the color algos + PQ conversion done and to us they look good already. Ambient light solution While converting HDR to SDR is already a needed feature for ambient light solution to operate correctly when playing HDR content, we went further and added a led driver directly on the X4 thru the existing 3D emitter output. Stay tuned, work in progress. SCALER FWHDfury X4 is capable of connecting any HDMI sources to any Analog or Digital display HDfury X4 offers all the features and controls you need to solve the seemingly simple matter of getting your digital AV sources to display correctly, easily and affordably on either an Analog or Digital display. Whatever the HDMI source, HDfury X4 is capable of scaling it up or down, deinterlacing it and adjusting its aspect ratio to match the native resolution of your video display or computer monitor. Any display resolution up to 1920x1200 can be supported (or 1080p72). If the input is 50Hz or 60Hz, you would be able to manually select either one on the output, perfect for customers who have USA TV's in Europe or other way around (PAL/NTSC). The HDfury X4 Scaler is ideal for adding digital connectivity and scaling to existing Analog or Digital AV systems.

No standard HD resolution on your display? No Problem! Play HDMI movies, games, satellite/cable and internet videos on any TV/HDTV/Projector or Monitor! HDfury X4 allows you to view HDMI content from your PS4, X1, PS3, X360, Blu-ray player, satellite/cable or internet on all standard 50/60Hz or 100/120Hz displays with either Digital or Analog inputs or both at the same time!If your TV, monitor or projector cannot play HDMI content because it lacks of a HDMI input, HDfury X4 can help you to achieve upscale/downscale, scan convert, transcode and conversion to match any HDMI/DVI-D/YUV (component) or RGBHV (VGA) display's native resolution!If your TV, monitor or projector can play regular HDMI games and Blu-ray movies then the HDfury X4 can still help you to achieve upscale/downscale to match your display native resolution! Upgrade to Perfect HDMI at your display native resolution for a fraction of the cost of buying a new display!The HDfury X4 supports every HDMI signal type in existence today from SD to Full HD and beyond (up to 1080p72). It is firmware upgradable so that new features can be added in the future as needed! In addition to supporting all standard displays in either analog or digital (HDMI, DVI-D, RGBHV, component), the HDfury X4 also offer dedicated and convenient firmware to 1080i sets like the fantastic 1080i Mits RPTV or the Pioneer Kuros and PDP line of Plasma. How difficult is it to set up? A few dip switches on the HDfury X4 must be set once depending on whether your TV is a 50/60Hz or 100/120Hz model or if it takes Digital DVI-D/HDMI or either RGBHV or component as input. No other setup is required. HDfury X4 is 100% plug-n-play with existing convenience scaling for 1080i max display (others doable on request). Just connect the HDfury X4 between the source and the TV/projector. That's it! Which projectors and TVs are supported? Any standard 50/60Hz or 100/120Hz displays will work with HDfury X4. HDfury X4 is the world first solution that work with any Digital (DVI-D/HDMI) or Analog (RGBHV/component) displays, no matter if they are 60Hz only and you live in a 50Hz area or if they don't support any standard HD resolution like 1920x1080 or 1280x720. Thanks to the embedded scaler and unique aspect ratio modes, you will be able to display HDMI sources at the best of your display's capabilities.
