Review Magazine uses Moome HDMI cards in their reference theaters featuring Sony
G90 and Runco 1200 CRT projectors. "We love our 9-inch CRT projectors,
even though we have our pick of the leading edge D-ILA, SXRD, and DLP
projectors." - Gary Reber, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Widescreen Review
The IFB-FULLHD card allows you easily add digital devices such as
Blu-Ray players, PS3, Xbox360, Satellite/Cable HDTV set-top boxes, and HTPCs with HDMI graphic cards (to name a few) to your
Sony CRT projector. Simply plug the card into your projector, your DVI/HDMI
devices into the card, and watch!
This product is a culmination of everything Moome has learnt
over years of building DVI/HDMI input cards for CRT projectors. It is by far the
highest end Sony card he has yet to offer with new features such as: Two 100%
HDMI
1.3 compliant inputs for Deep Colour support, better discrete 14bit D/A converters,
faster 1GHz
output buffer, and better op-amps for the best image quality possible!
Supply is limited and tends to sell out fast as this high-end
product for the discriminating videophile is only built in small batches.
This is the last HDMI input card you will ever buy for your Sony CRT projector!

Works with any Sony CRT projector, TV, or other product with an
IFB slot. This includes:
-
Sony VPH-1251, 1252, 1270, 1271, 1272, 1292 CRT projectors
-
Sony VPH-G70, VPH-G90 CRT projectors
-
Sony VPH-D50 CRT projectors (not all have IFB
slots - see below)
-
Sony PC-1270, 1271(M), 3000 switchers
-
Sony RVP-6010Q Rear projection TVs

How can I tell if my Sony D50 has an IFB slot?
Unlike the other CRT projectors mentioned above, not all Sony D50 CRT projectors
have IFB slots.
The easiest way to tell is to simply look at the rear of your Sony D50 for a
slot that looks like the following:
In this picture the IFB slot is taken up by the remote
card. This (useless) remote card is removed via the two turn screws to allow the installation of the
IFB-FULLHD card. Other D50 projectors may have a blank faceplate instead that
can be removed in the same manner. If a card
is already installed in the slot but you have nothing connected to it, it may be
safely removed allowing the installation of the IFB-FULLHD card.
Typically the UK version of the Sony D50HT does not have an IFB
slot while other versions of the D50HT and all versions of the D50Q and D50GM do have IFB slots.
It's always best to check your model to make sure you have a slot.

Reviews/Testimonials
"Moome's original design squashed (attenuated) 65% of
the full bandwidth when running 1080p 60Hz. With Mike's new circuit, the FULLHD
v2 now can resolve the entire 1080p 60Hz signal. With Moome's new design his
card is the first and only option that can do full 1080p and YCbCr... the image
is amazing!" - Craig Rounds, official FULLHD v2 tester, professional
calibrator (www.cir-engineering.com)
"In a word - fantastic. I don't really have the vocabulary or
breadth of equipment knowledge to properly express what I am seeing. But the
card puts me in the studio with CNN, FOX, MSNBC. It puts me on the field with
the Cowboys. It puts me next to the telecine operators on "Ironman" and "The
Fifth Element" and "The Dark Knight" and "Casino Royal." I can not only see the
layers and outlines and overly-smooth makeup on broadcasters' faces, I can see
flakes of it trying to break away. Hair is wispy and delicate and multicolored
as it drifts away from faces. It's like a few breakthroughs I have
experienced in decades of audio - a real game changer... DO THIS, FOLKS!!!"
- Hlmiii "I received my card yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, 10/27/09). It was
installed to replace the prior version from last year, which was itself an
"upgrade" from Moome's first Sony card. Reference: (source) > Lumagen Radiance >
G-90 @ 1080p 60Hz. The new card is a definite and noticeable improvement.
The most obvious difference is the reduced noise - the existence of which wasn't
apparent until made (in)visible by the new card. Along with that is an image
with improved resolution and better-defined contrast transitions. My guess is
that these latter two improvements are due to faster step response (?). White -
black dynamic range is also increased. In short the card provides the
improvements as claimed in its product descriptions. I was hesitant to believe
and see improvement - and spend money yet again on the same general product. But
now having seen the results I am very happy with Moome's effort in reworking his
previous product and would definitely classify it as worth every penny.
Highly recommended. Thanks." - Hlmiii "Received my v2 card
yesterday and installed it right away inside my VPH-G90 projector after removing
the older IFB-FULLHD card from the B slot. I'm running an HTPC and the Oppo
BDP-83 Blu-ray player on a 3m wide 16:9 screen. Tested with the High Definition
Benchmark Blu-ray Disc from Spears and Munsil. I've used the low level test
patterns (with BTB information) and the improvement on video noise figure is
clearly seen." - JohnHWman
