HDMI cards for Sony & Marquee CRT
projectors available again!
Moome's ordered a new batch of Sony IFB-HD and Marquee VIM-HD HDMI cards. Limited to 30 cards in each batch. These sell out fast! We're told that these cards use an external high precision video digital to analog converter (DAC), which produces an image that should be a little sharper than Moome's EXT-HD external converter.
Note: You will be placing your order directly with Moome. Please send questions to Moome directly at moome@curtpalme.com or by visiting his forum. Thanks!
"I just got my new high-end IFB-HD yesterday evening (Aug 28 '07) and got it
installed today. I previously had a Moome IFB DVI card (got it in March ’06) and
used it in my Sony G70. The upgrade is immediate and noticeable on several
fronts: "This thing Rocks, Thanks Moome!!! I am seeing a much broader pallet of colors I have not seen before and the detail and sharpness are there. I love to look for the background detail in images and it is all there with this card and gives it that 3D look. Oh, but the colors. man! " - DB Cooper (VIM-HD user) "I ordered my Moome VIM-HD Deluxe (Marquee version) and received it exactly 2 weeks later - not bad at all I thought. I had a version 2 (non-gamma) Moome card already, so I was anxious to see the difference in this newest and greatest version. I first watched a variety of HD-TV and HD-DVD with the "old" card installed, just to refresh my eyes and brain as to the excellent quality of those images. In the meantime, I ran my new "Series-F" HDMI cable from BlueJeansCable.com from my equipment rack to my projector. Then I installed the new card in my Marquee and settled down with a frosty adult beverage to view. First, let me reiterate that I always have been impressed by the quality of the picture I got with the previous Moome card, both on cable HD-TV and from my Toshiba HD-A1 DVD player. I was a little apprehensive that I spent the $435 on a card that would simply be a replacement for what I already had. Well, I am happy to report that the picture is even better than before!!!! It is more than subtle that the colors and black levels are still there while the details in both dark and light scenes are more pronounced. I also see an increase in sharpness, which I was already more than happy with from the "old" card. I have more work to do in dialling in the gamma boost, but I wanted to let others know that this card is well worth the price and that they should place their order(s) for the upcoming batch of cards before they are sold out." - Gary (GEBrown) "I am not by any stretch as critical a watcher as many here are, quoting numbers and percentages, just not in my bag of tricks yet. With that disclaimer I honestly can say I can no longer imagine my theater without a Moome card. ZERO installation issues. Zero hand shake issues and Absolutely stunning on screen images. I am a relative newbie to HT, my first was a well used D50 which to me opened my eyes to CRT and whetted my appetite for more. Now with my G70, 106" wide screen, Samsung BD-P1200, Toshiba HD-A2, Denon1600 SDI, DVDO iScan HD+, Monoprice switcher, Monoprice DVI to HDMI from iScan to Moome v 1.32 IFB-HDMI with Gamma, simply UNBELIEVABLE! Never a single hiccup. Well done Mr Moome. A great big thanks to you. Thumbsup!" - Ray (rabies_70)
