Upgrade your Sony CRT projector by adding
two HDMI 1.3 inputs with gamma correction and infrared remote control!

content at up to 1080p resolution!

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 12bit 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 such as:
-
Sony VPH-1251, 1252, 1270, 1271, 1272, 1292 CRT projectors
-
Sony VPH-D50 (with IFB slot - see below), VPH-G70, VPH-G90 CRT projectors
-
Sony PC-1270, 1271(M), 3000 switchers
-
Sony RVP-6010Q Rear projection TV
Want to add an HDMI input to another display type? Consider the
universal Moome EXT-FULLHD or the
HDfury2!
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
"The board looks really good in the projector. I had a
nice gamma plot that I was going to post today but somehow I managed NOT to save
it properly and it was lost... so now I will have to redo the plot. I will say
this, I have the card / G90 set up now so that I can see the "just above black"
bar next to window patterns on my VP403 with windows from 0 IRE through over 70
IRE. This is with rich inky blacks and a perfect gamma curve of 2.2
through the entire luma range. The card has behaved flawlessly for my testing
and seems very solid. It also deals really well with long HDMI cables,
better than other previous cards I have seen. I do recommend it and will post
more info as time permits. I have done only a little calibration with it, and
the card already looks good. I've watched Sunshine, Mission Impossible 3, 5th
Element, Bank Job, Decent, and Ratatouille. Some of those are not exactly
reference, but the board is doing well. Sunshine with its black details and
dark glory looked absolutely fantastic. Everyone who was watching with me was
really WOWed. This is really a great card. I ran 1080x1920 @ 72 Hz today
for a couple hours at least. Coming through a monoprice, 22 gauge, silver plated
copper, 35' cable. No issues at all; no sparkles, no noise... just perfect. That
is not an easy test at all!" - Craig Rounds, official IFB-FULLHD tester, professional
calibrator (www.cir-engineering.com)
More coming soon! See the NEC XG-FULLHD order page
for reviews/testimonials of the same card build exclusively for the NEC XG CRT
projector (the features and specifications are identical to this card). People are loving
their XG-FULLHD card!
