I thought we were trying to fix the "blue bands" issue, not left shift. Did I miss something?

I just wanted to jump onto this thread... I have a PRO-720HD with HDFury and I'm experiencing the rolling blacks problem. Once a new version of the TC is available that fixes the blue banding issue I will happily purchase one!

Let me give everyone an update on the progress as it has been a while ago. I have been focussing on additonal features and fixing all the errors. The final TC1500 will therefore have the following features provided I can all squeeze it into the case.
1) Adjustable gamma correction on the RGB input
2) Format independent shift over a whole line, this will fix the left shift issue
3) Automatic selection of SD/HD color space based upon line frequency
The status is as follows, I have finished the schematic for the adjustable gamma and I have a working simulation for horizontal picture shift. I am working on the final schematic and component selection for this shift function. The automatic color space selection is already implemented.
I also have to fess up to a fatal design flaw in the few prototypes I have sent out. I put a capacitor with too low of a working voltage in the power supply which means that they will all fail after a while in continous use. I will send everyone that already received one a free replacement of the final version.

Thanks for the update, Kim, and especially your honesty.
One question: what did you ever decide about using the tri-level sync that you mentioned a while back? Does the TC1500 need it for the Pioneers (and others?) or not?
Thanks.

Thanks for the update.. I look forward to it and will post results as soon as I get it. I am waiting on this guy before I think about getting a PS3 and thus Blue ray. If all goes well with my upconverting DVD player I will go rent a PS3 and post my results of that as well.

I have a PS3 as well as HD-DVD and FIOS TV (ok so I'm a geek). So far I've not seen anything with these different setups (Pioneer RPTV, HD Fury with or without TC1500) to indicate that the source is causing any issue. They all work fine on component and exhibit the same issue when using HDMI through the Fury. I've also tried the Vision FC4 and that had the same problem as the HDFury and TC1500 combined, albeit with a slightly softer picture,

Let me give you guys another update, I have been working on the board layout for a few days now and I have to say it is squeezing to get it in its form factor. To give me some more routing room I have now converted the board to 4 layers. The few who have already seen it may have noticed it is a double board stack at this moment and I may have to go to a triple stack in the end.

Not trying to push at all, but any idea how long it will take you?

Well I am anxious to get mine, so I hope your testing will show they are ready for production.
