Box1040 "Lite" RGB to Component converter
August 19, 2008

Why pay for features you don't use? Introducing the new Box1040 "Lite". It gives you the same features as the regular Box1040 minus 1080p FULLHD support. If your display doesn't support 1080p, order the Box1040 "Lite" instead and save $40!

This unique component (YPbPr) to RGB converter provides a picture perfect RGB conversion optimized for HD-ready displays for full high-definition viewing. It allows you to view high-definition (HD) content from component sources on your existing projector or HD-ready TV.

The perfect match for the HDfury!

Simply plug the HDfury directly into the Box1040's RGB IN port and your display to the Box1040's RGB OUT port and you now have an excellent HDMI input for Blu-ray players (and other HDMI devices) along with an excellent component input for older devices like cable/satellite boxes and DVD players.

How does the Box1040 make the HDfury better?

• Adjustable Gamma Boost:  The Box1040 "Lite" adds gamma adjustment to the HDfury signal for absolutely perfect shadow detail.

• The World's first Image Alignment Correction (IAC) circuitry to fix the image "left-shift" error.

• The Box1040's cable driver stage also lets you use an analog output cable of at least up to 30 feet with the HDfury. You no longer need to place the HDfury near your TV! Perfect for those of you that already have a long RGB cables installed.

Box1040 is plug-n-play with no extra steps required. It can be used for all standard High-definition TV formats other than 1080p. All standard frame rates are supported in both NTSC and PAL.

As described in our Greyscale & Colour Calibration for Dummies guide, gamma boost is critical for achieving perfect image quality. Videophiles look for this feature as it is a critical one to have in order to obtain a proper gamma curve. Without gamma boost dark details are simply lost:

Widescreen 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

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!

Now available for pre-order exclusively through CurtPalme.com!

Main features:

• HDMI input

• Component (YPbPr/YCbCr) and VGA (RGBHV) video output

• Sound output in both Analog and digital Optical (S/PDIF) through an innovative 3.5mm combo jack

The HDfury² also includes many first time world exclusive features:

• Perfectly centered image in all standard NTSC/PAL modes (read more)

• Performs Colour Depth Upscaling in all modes (read more)

• Automatic SD/HD color-space selection

• Accept third party accessories on its output

• Lowest power consumption of any converter

• Software upgradeable (EDID and Firmware)

• Custom profiling to match any display requirements or to limit output resolution

• Screen position adjustment through firmware

• Smaller and is able to handle and include more technology innovations than the original HDfury

How does the HDfury² compare to the original HDfury?

The HDfury² solves all original HDfury issues, including:

A few source devices have issues handshaking with DVI-D (hdcp) devices such as the original HDfury, requiring the use of an HDMI switch between the source and the original HDfury.
 SOLVED!  HDfury² uses an HDMI input instead of DVI-D (hdcp) granting compatibility with all HDMI sources including those that could not handshake properly with DVI-D (hdcp) devices.

Some sources like the Denon 4308 receiver could not handshake with an incomplete CEA861 EDID extension block causing issues with the original HDfury.
 SOLVED!  The HDFury² CEA861 EDID extension block is compliant to latest Rev. D.

The picture is shifted to the left on some displays when using the original HDfury and it could not be centered within the display's adjustment range. Use of external device such as RTC2200 or Box 1020 was needed.
 SOLVED!   HDFury² doesn't shift the picture to the left. It is perfectly centered at all resolutions.

Some sources do not output enough current on their digital output pin#14. Use of external power supply was needed for the original HDfury (either Wall Plug or USB).
 SOLVED!   HDFury² consumes 160mA less current while running at 1080p compare to the original HDfury. HDfury² supports more sources out of the box without requiring the use of the power supply.

Some users reported their original HDfury ran "hot" after many hours of use.
 SOLVED!   HDFury² unit runs 1.2w cooler at 1080p than the original HDfury.

The original HDfury is unable to run long analog cables on its output. ex: Displays with VGA cords is problematic.
 SOLVED!   HDFury² can run longer analog cables on its output (to approximately 25-35 feet).

Hard to identify when the power supply is required for the original HDfury (some source devices do not provide enough current on pin14.
 SOLVED!   HDFury² has a new LED system which indicates power status: If the LED is OFF or blinking then the HDFury² is not receiving enough power from the source device and the external HDFury² power supply must be used. If the LED is ON the HDFury² is receiving adequate power.

Chroma 5/CalMAN bundle: $110 off until end of August!
August 9, 2008

To help our users step up to one of the best tristimulus colorimeters on the market today, SpectraCal is offering a limited time pricing through CurtPalme.com on the Chroma5/CalMAN bundle: $110 off their regular SpectraCal price!

To quote Derek Smith of SpectraCal:

"I've recently spent a lot of time with X-rite's Chroma 5 colorimeter, and I've come to have a whole new level of respect for it. It's hands down the best colorimeter there is.

So I was talking to the good folks at CurtPalme.com recently about what a pity it was that people are still using "dime store" meters – meters I can see on my test bench are often off by ten percent or more in their readings – when the Chroma 5 is only a few dollars more.

They explained to me that at the entry level, a few dollars matters a lot. To someone performing their first calibration and not sure whether the process will even work for them, the initial outlay is important.

So I talked to my partners in SpectraCal, and we agreed that we'd like to drive the cost of the Chroma 5 down to the lowest level we can possibly stand, on a temporary basis, to help launch it among enthusiasts. "Once the word gets out how good it is," L.A. said, "the Chroma 5 should sell itself just from the comments on the forums." So to get the comments started, we've agreed to try seeding the market with some Chroma 5 packages we don't make any money at all on.

(L.A. interrupts to remind me that SpectraCal's everyday price for the Chroma 5/CalMAN bundle – $499 – is about a third of what you'd buy it for anywhere else in the world.)

We sharpened our pencils and worked out that the absolute lowest price we could get you a Chroma 5 and CalMAN is $389, and we calculated that we could only afford to do that for about two weeks before we have to get back to reality and start charging prices again with a little bit of margin in them for us.

So if you've thought at all about trying out this home theater calibration stuff, and you've been wavering (maybe you haven't been able to justify the price to your significant other), I'd encourage you to take advantage of this one-time offer, good only for the rest of August, and only through CurtPalme.com.

Drop me an email (spectracal@curtpalme.com) if you have any questions. I would love for you to have a chance to experience how good a meter the Chroma 5 is." - Derek Smith, SpectraCal LLC

So there you have it! If you've been considering upgrading to the Chroma 5, now's the best time to do it. An an OEM of X-Rite, SpectraCal is uniquely positioned to offer the Chroma 5 at a price considerably lower than anywhere else to begin with. This the same meter that Sencore sells as the ColorPro V for $4,000 USD!

Box1020 & HDfury: A gamer's perspective
July 29, 2008

It's been known for some time that the Box1020 / HDfury combo breaths new life into older displays for movie watching but what about for games? Does it help? How?

Our forum moderator and hardware expert Jeremy (AnalogRocks) puts the Box1020 and HDfury combo through its paces and shows the results that both movie fans and gamers can expect to see.

"It's a GREAT little combo. I highly recommend it. Especially for those of you that have an old TV that's an HDTV ready monitor but only has component inputs. This combo will get your TV upgraded to handle the new crop of digital players such as PS3, XBOX360 Elite, Blu-ray and satellite/cable boxes with HDMI outputs."

Customers are loving Moome's new NEC XG/Runco 991 HDMI 1.3 input card!
July 27, 2008

Reviews of Moome's XG-FULLHD HDMI 1.3 input card for NEC XG and Runco 991 CRT projectors are pouring in and everyone loves it! There are only 12 cards left in the current batch of 50 so if you're looking at adding an HDMI 1.3 input to your NEC XG or Runco 991 any time soon, now's the best time! More information.

"I received my XG-FULLHD HDMI card today and I love it! The picture is much better than what I was seeing previously. I was using a HDFury with my Sony BD300 and VP30 video processor and was never very happy with it. Now I have the VP30 plugged directly into the new HDMI card and the picture is sensational. Couldn't believe how easy it was to install and setup. Thanks Moome!!" - Rob

"...very quick install/setup and first impressions are that the XG-FULLHD card is noticeably sharper than my HDfury/RTC2200 setup..." - Lance

"There is no doubt the XG-FULLHD card creates an image that is better than the previous DVI card...colors are more natural, test patterns are sharper. Is the card worth it? That would depend on your budget, and what you expect out of this product. For myself, I say yes it's worth it...the PQ has taken a step forward, and just looks 'right'. This card IS a step up in all areas of image reproduction." - KennyG

"The color rendition of the Moome [XG-FULLHD] card is really quite impressive. The first thing that hit me when going back to the DVI card was how much better the HDMI card did to create a vividly lifelike image with more subtle gradients. (See XG-FULLHD vs HDfury screenshots)" - JArseneau

"... it is a true work of art from Moome, amazing in every way possible ... with the new NEC XG HDMI Moome card and my DVDO VP50pro video processor outputting 4:2:2 YPbPr HDMI I have a image that has improved in nearly every manner (See screenshots) ... the crispness of the image has improved a lot as well, the image is naturally sharper vs the older DVI card which looks slightly edgy in comparison ... color resolution and naturalness has improved so much it is unbelievable, I am so thankful to be able to get this card for my XG, it was worth every penny and more! I just can't get over home much of a improvement this card really is, the best way to describe it is like someone took a hold of a knob on your system labelled bandwidth and cranked it out the roof, the natural crispness and smoothness of the image is amazing, the contrast ratio aspects of the image may be the biggest improvement of all. I am now going to be giddy every time I sit down to do reviews and watch films. Thank You Moome! You are a true master sir!" - Gary (Home Theater Forum Software and Hardware reviewer)

"Thanks Moome for a great product and speedy customer service! What a damned nice guy!" - Tacky

Add an HDMI/DVI input to watch Blu-ray and other digital sources at up to 1080p FULL HD resolution!

If your projector or TV built before 2005, it is not HDMI compatible.

CalMAN Video Calibration Software & Hardware (at exclusive CurtPalme.com prices!)
July 14, 2008

CalMAN is the world's most flexible, powerful, and easy to use software tool for greyscale & colour calibration! It is the only calibration package that grows with you! The easy to follow wizards in the "Basic" mode are perfect for novice users just starting out while the flexibility of the "Design" mode gives professionals the control they need.

We've worked out an exclusive deal for our members to bring you CalMAN and these professional quality meters at prices lower than what everyone else pays anywhere on the internet! Buy direct at prices lower even than buying off the official CalMAN website!

What is CalMAN?

CalMAN is color calibration software for the calibration of high definition televisions and other video displays.

Does your high definition television set look "wrong? Do people's skin tones look sunburned or vaguely greenish? Are details hard to see in dark scenes? Do you have trouble seeing details in bright scenes, especially ones in involving things like snow? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then chances are that your HDTV is in need of a calibration and CalMAN can help! It provides everything you need for home theater calibration:

• It has the powerful features needed by professional display calibrators.
   
• It has simple, easy-to-use wizards that walk you step by step through the entire process of making your HDTV display accurate color, even if you have never attempted to calibrate a video display before.

Why use CalMAN instead of the various free solutions available?

There are many reasons why it makes sense for notice to expert users alike to use CalMAN instead of the various free solutions available:

• Even with a copy of our popular Greyscale & Colour Calibration for Dummies guide in front of you, calibrating a display for the first time can be daunting. CalMAN has step-by-step wizards to lead a complete novice through the process. At each step, there are detailed instructions on your screen telling you exactly what to do now. If you want, you can stop and read a whole tutorial on the underlying theory, but you don’t have to. You just push the buttons the wizard tells you to push. Think of CalMAN as an interactive version of our Greyscale & Colour Calibration for Dummies guide taken to a much higher level. Everything is tailored to your exact setup and needs as you step through the calibration.
   
• SpectraCal are an OEM of X-rite and therefore have access to a much lower interface in the EyeOne Display 2 / LT / Pro sensors than other software (such as ColorHCFR). CalMAN can therefore properly support Plasma with all meters. Unlike other software, CalMAN also supports all meters in contact, non-contact, and direct modes.
   

• A great deal of work has gone into making visual controls that let you steer by what you see. A good example is the Bullseye Color chart (seen on the right). You don’t have to understand how the Color Decoder in your display works to set it using CalMAN. All you have to do is get the dot into the bulls-eye. If you tweak a control and the dot moves further away from the center, tweak the control the other way.
   
• CalMAN automates the process for you. If you’ve ever watched someone calibrate their TV for the first time, one hassle they have is running back and forth to advance the DVD to the next pattern, start a read on their meter, etc. In CalMAN (particularly if you’re using the free CalMAN pattern generator), we do it all for you. You click your mouse on the control button, and CalMAN displays the pattern and performs the read, or the whole sequence of reads, or a continuous read so you can watch your results change as you adjust the display.
   
• CalMAN is accurate and reliable. It is the same software that many of the pros use. You could call in a professional calibrator and there's a good chance that he’d be using CalMAN and going through the same steps you go through.
   
• If you continue your interest in calibration, you won’t outgrow CalMAN. We have seen many users who start off calibrating one TV in their basement, and pretty soon they’re over at their friend’s house, and then they’re thinking about going into the business. CalMAN supports everything from the least expensive Spyder meters to the highest of the high end. And the software is designed to help you along the way. It adapts as your skills improve, and its teaching materials help you learn.

Trial version

CalMAN is available for free evaluation. Try it today!

Professional Quality Meters

The authors of CalMAN also offer three high-end meters from X-Rite for video display calibration sold directly under licence by the manufacturer at exclusive CurtPalme.com reduced prices (lower than you'll find elsewhere!). All three pair extremely well with CalMAN as the authors are an OEM of X-rite so they have access to a much lower interface with X-Rite meters (including the EyeOne Display 2 / LT). This means that they are able to get more out of the meter than any other calibration software!

The EyeOne Pro The EyeOne Pro is an excellent meter for all uses. In addition to its superb accuracy – the EyeOne is as accurate as most meters selling for thousands of dollars – it is the most versatile meter available anywhere. No matter what kind of display you are calibrating – CRT, plasma, LCD, front projector, rear projector – you can calibrate it effectively with the EyeOne Pro. If you own only one meter, it should probably be an EyeOne Pro. If you own more than one meter, one of them should be an EyeOne Pro. It is hands down the number one meter choice of professional calibrators. More information »

The Chroma 5 The Chroma 5 is the big brother to the X-Rite EyeOne Display 2/LT that we feature in our Greyscale & Colour Calibration for Dummies guide. The main advantage the Chroma 5 has over the Display 2/LT is that the sensors are temperature compensated, so the Chroma 5 is more accurate with changing room temperatures. The Chroma5 goes lower and can be calibrated to tighter standards. Like the EyeOne Pro, but unlike the EyeOne Display 2/LT, the Chroma 5 can be National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified. More information »

The Hubble The Hubble is an astonishingly good non-contact meter. It is unsurpassed for calibrating light-controlled front projected displays. You can point the Hubble at a screen all the way across the room and use the Hubble's laser tracking to zero in on the area you want to calibrate. The Hubble has an impressively narrow field of view (5 degrees – which corresponds to a 6" target all the way across the room). If you are a professional calibrator, the Hubble gives you capabilities that were formerly attainable only with gear costing ten times as much or more. More information »

UPDATED: Projectors for Sale List
June 15, 2008

Our projectors for sale list has been updated. Contact us if you wish to make a purchase or for more information. Some highlights on what's new:

(Qty: 3) Barco 909: I have access to three of these rare units and I now have some replacement parts in stock for these as well. The current model and the highest end Barco ever made. 9” tubes, a completely redesigned chassis with 180 Mhz video amplifiers I have three of these. I had 5, two sold instantly. Insanely sharp image on these. Here’s the scoop on them:

One came out of a one owner HT environment. 1500-ish hours on the chassis only. Mint, mint mint, no tube wear whatsoever. A great case, 100% perfect. HFQ-900 lenses Black case. $11,000.00

The other two came out of a simulation lab. Hour count is 3500 and about 5200. The brightness and contrast were set at 20 when I got these, so these tubes are as good as new. Zero tube wear as well, that nice blue Barco case color. HFQ-900 lenses. $10,000.00

These prices are lower than I’ve seen advertised before for 909 projectors, especially with no tube wear. Grab them while you can!

(Qty: 3) Marquee 8500: I just got these in, and all have minimal tube wear, I’d rate the tubes at an 8/10. excellent shape, 1080p ready, cases in good shape. Fully functional, ready to go. $2000.00 each.

(Qty: 2) NEC 9PG Xtra: One small step below the NEC XG Series, these sets are in as new condition, no tube wear, astig control, can be run at 1080p with no issues. Point boards installed, in great shape. $2000.00 each.

(Qty: 1) Barco 1209s: I have one of these high end sets left. These were originally SEOS curved screen projectors, and came from the Johnson Space Center. I’ve installed mint tubes into the set, the green one is brand new, and there’s zero wear on the R and B tubes. The case is black, and the sets are 1080p and beyond capable. The case on this unit is black, and is in good shape. GT 17 high resolution lenses are installed on this one. $6500.00

(Qty: 1) Barco 1209s: As is, left set for curved screen use, good red tube, bad G and B tubes, no lenses $1500.00

(Qty: 1) Runco 1100: This is based on the same Barco 1209s chassis as the SEOS units above, but this set has red and green coloured C elements installed. 6200 hours on the chassis. Black case. New green LUG tube installed, the blue tube is an 8.5, the red a 9.5. Excellent shape, remote included. GT 17 lenses installed. Phenomenal shape. $6500.00
