Other than my own foibles, I don't think there will be any issues with this card.

Update:

Moome tells me the new Sony IFB-FULLHD (HDMI 1.3) card will be ready to go end of September 2008.
Pre-orders for this card will begin in approximately 1 week. To be notified when the card becomes available, sign up for the CurtPalme.com newsletter here: http://www.curtpalme.com/MailingList.shtm

Moome's sent me the manual/spec sheet for the IFB-FULLHD, see here: http://www.curtpalme.com/docs/ifb_fullhd_v10.pdf

This is a very high end HDMI 1.3 card with separate high-end DAC just like the NEC XG-FULLHD card. In fact, the two cards are nearly identical so any reviews/comments that people have on the NEC XG-FULLHD should also hold true for this Sony IFB-FULLHD. To read XG-FULLHD reviews see here: http://www.curtpalme.com/NEC_XG-FULLHD.shtm

Moome emailed me today that he still expects to ship these cards late September. Pre-order page will be up within the week.

For those that don't know, Moome started off with Sony cards. It's what he knows best. He's testing the card right now on a G90.

The IFB-FULLHD card does support 1080p/72Hz. After you wrote this I emailed Moome to verify and the card does indeed support it as I suspected. The manual is wrong. The card supports crazy high bandwidth (resolution/refresh rates). He's currently testing 1080p/75Hz just to make sure PAL users can do that correctly.

Here's the Sony IFB-FULLHD being testing on a Sony G90:



Look for an updated manual soon. Pre-order will be announced in a few minutes.

It's not needed as the card is specifically built for the Sony line of CRT projectors. IAC or image centering/shifting is not an issue.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what "rinse down with with the centering of the screen" means. Can you say it a different way?

<Perfectly centered image:

Another world first! HDfury2 is the only device that recreates the sync and timing alignment completely and therefore perfectly centers the image according to the SMPTE standards in all modes. This is a major difference in the architecture. No other converter can compete against recreating the syncs completely. >

That is for HDFury2, can do this the new Sony IFB-FULLHD?

Ilias: You already asked this above. It's not needed as the IFB-FULLHD is specifically built for the Sony line of CRT projectors. IAC or image centering/shifting is not an issue as you can adjust everything perfectly within the projector itself.

You seem to be wondering which is better: The HDfury2 or the Sony IFB-FULLHD. The IFB-FULLHD is a higher end product with more features and as such is considerably more expensive than the HDfury2. Choose according to your needs.

PostLink    Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2008 4:08 pm    Post subject: Remote Control Reply with quote

I feed all my analogue sources via a lumagen scaler over the BNC to Input A of my G90. So basically I never need to switch inputs on my G90. I only switch on/off power of the unit, thats all.

If I am now connect all my HD sources directly with an HDMI cable to Input 1 or Input 2 of the IFB-FULLHD: Sony HDMI 1.3 Input Card. Do I need now the original Sony Remote Control to switch between the Analogue Input A and the this additional Card? And in addition the Moom IR Remote to choose between Input 1 and Input 2?

Is there no easy way to automate this over RS232 of the G90 as I am running a Philips Pronto IR and RS232 Extender?

PS: Order for this card is placed.

I'm not sure I follow. Why would you need to switch over to Analog Input A if all of your inputs are HDMI into Moome's card? I'm not familiar with Sony's, but I would assume that you'd switch to whatever the IFB input slot is using the Sony remote and then use Moome's remote to switch between the two HDMI inputs.

Not sure about that. You may want to try the Home Theater Accessories forum.

Moome has confirmed that the IFB-FULLHD will also work at 1080p/75Hz so the PAL users should be happy.

The manual/spec sheet has been updated with new info and pictures too. Take a look: http://www.curtpalme.com/docs/ifb_fullhd_v10.pdf

Thank you Kal

Now I have reviewed my installation and manuals and can run all sources direct to the Input 1 of the IFB-FULLHD, so no need to switch between the cards of the G90.

I simply need an DVI-HDMI Adapter on the output of the lumagen scaler to connect it with the IFB-FULLHD via an HDMI cable. And plug all HD sources into the DVI Inputs of the Lumagen using a HDMI-DVI Adapter. With this I can for each source make a calibration in the lumagen.

So the only thing is now to set up the G90 that it always use Input 1 of IFB-FULLHD at power up.
