Not everyone follows the other forums so I thought I'd post here too as this card has been highly anticipated given the number of Sony D50/G70/G90 users out there:
Pre-orders for the Sony IFB-FULLHD HDMI 1.3 card are now available!
See here for full details or to place your order: http://www.curtpalme.com/IFB-FULLHD.shtm

Sony IFB-FULLHD HDMI 1.3 input card with Gamma and IR remote
Click [HERE] to order directly from the manufacturer!
Priority worldwide shipping included! Payment options: Credit Card or PayPal (PayPal account *NOT* needed to pay by credit card!)
Upgrade your Sony projector by adding *two* HDMI 1.3 inputs with gamma correction and infrared remote control!
Don't be stuck watching PS3, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, and DVD at only 480p! Add digital HDCP-compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs allowing you to watch hi-def content at up to 1080p resolution!
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
The IFB-FULLHD card allows you easily add digital devices such as Blu-Ray players, PS3, Xbox360, Satellite/Cable HDTV set-top boxes, and HTPCs with HDMI graphic cards (to name a few) to your Sony CRT projector. 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!
Need to add an HDMI switcher or HDMI cables? See our recommended HDMI switchers & cables.
Works with any Sony CRT projector, TV, or other product with an IFB slot such as:
- Sony VPH-1251, 1252, 1270, 1271, 1272, 1292 CRT projectors

FAQ
How easy it is to install and setup?
Installation and setup takes 5 minutes: You simply slide the card into an available slot at the back of your Sony CRT projector and connect your sources devices with HDMI cables. That's it!
What's adjustable gamma correction? What does it do? Why would I need it?
Many displays (and pretty much all CRT projectors) require a gamma boost to show perfect shadow details. Without this adjustment, dark details in the picture will be lost. To adjust gamma see the manual (below). For a complete explanation of Gamma Correction, please see this thread.
Can you set different gamma correction for the two HDMI inputs?
No. there is one gamma adjustment setting. It is used for both inputs.
How do I adjust gamma on this card?
See the manual (below). The Gamma Tuning Guide for Moome products may also prove useful.
Can I add an HDMI switcher or receiver before the IFB-FULLHD?
Yes! If you have more than two HDMI sources you may add an HDMI switcher (see this thread for recommendations) or an HDMI switching receiver before the IFB-FULLHD.
What's the contrast adjustment for?
The contrast adjustment pot allows you to vary the video signal output voltage from 0.7V all the way up to 1.0V. The control is a multi-turn pot with 30 turns. Turn it counter-clockwise 30 times to set the contrast level to 0.7V which is the normal output level used by most devices (you will know once you've reached the end as the control will make a little click at each turn). This is the normal setting that most people should use. This is an advanced feature. On some setups a hotter (ie: higher voltage) signal may have benefits so this control lets you taylor the output voltage to suite your needs. On most displays turning up the voltage is almsot the same as simply turning up the contrast slightly. This added control lets advanced users fine tune the output if needed.
