Hi everyone,

I can feed a 1080p signal to my XG by altering the analog signal output of my GPU but if I want to connect another device that can only output a 1080p digital signal, what are my options to convert the signal to RGBHV but also adjust the signal in real time?

Is that just a scaler or video processor?

I was looking at this but it only states in the manual you can adjust the clock, phase, h-position and v-position but nothing about front porch or back porch. https://www.kramerav.com/Product/VP-426#Tab_Resources

Would anyone know of devices that could do it? Smile Moome cards are hard to find. I guess I could also get a pci-e HDMI input card for my computer...

Thank you

You need an HDFury, discontinued now, but available on ebay. Make sure you get the power supply with it, otherwise it won't work. Lots are sold without the power supply there.

Also, 1080p will have image wraparound, so you're probably best off running 720p or 1080i.

Yep. Interesting how they brought it back. They had a big announcement that due to legal issues they were told to pull it off their site. I thought the HDMI police finally for them. Surprising that it's still on the site, as they definitely took it down a while back.

Hi Curt,

I have some sort of wraparound with my current setting of 1080p on the Barco 808. I did not have it bevore when I ran it with 64k (don't know how many p's that is, perhaps 720, came out of a Sony Scaler).

Is that a problem caused by running the projector at its limits? Otherwise the 808 does not seem too impressed by this setting.

regards
Martin

Thanks for the replies Smile

I might order the HDFuryX3 then... Smile

I actually had one of those small dirt cheap HDMI -> VGA converters on order that arrived today.

I maximised the raster area and made full use of it horizontally and I came real close to getting a perfect 1080p signal straight away but it was sort of distorted a little bit inwards from the sides.

This signal was coming from my Wii U and it has a setting to adjust the screen size. Not sure if this is over scan or something? It had nothing to do with the resolution but it had something like 15 steps of adjustment. I dropped it down by 1 and now I'm getting a perfect 1080p image.

I've only ever seen this setting on the Wii U and the old ATI Catalyst Control Center. The new one doesn't seem to have the settings for it, seems more basic. Sad

Any idea what I was adjusting when I did that? But yeah. Getting a glorious 1080p picture. Smile
