Looking at new Blue Ray players, all seem to have only HDMI output.
Is there a converter box or cables that I could plug in the dvd player and hook it up/convert rgbvh to my projector instead of the moome hdmi card?

looks like we're just continuing from this thread.

As I recall, the 1272 is hanging from a vaulted ceiling in a living room with cable installed in a finished wall, hence his lack of interest in a digital projector or anything that would require new cabling.
If I would have been advising him, I'd have suggested an HD Fury 2. It's about half the price of the Moome and would be more than adequate for Larry's 1272, and would work fine with IFB-12 cards, which are easily obtained if spares aren't already installed in the switcher. But, I digress…
I know the Moome cards are supposed to be great, but support is practically nonexistent. I wish I had a dollar for every time somebody posted with an issue saying, "I emailed Moome a month or two ago and never got a response…" Totally unacceptable in my opinion. I realize it's a one-man show, but he's not selling a $20 product, either.

even though the RGBHV cable is routed thorough a finished wall ( a bad idea at at any rate since any cable can go bad), I still wish we knew if the problem was actually the moome card or the sony video switcher. Larry why not plug the moome card directly into the 1272 and feed it HDMI just for testing purposes?
a 20 year old sony switching box could easily be delivering the wrong voltage values to something as delicate as a HDMI to RGB converter card which relies on very exact 5volt DC power to run it's logic circuitry.
I know Moomes customer support is crap but his products are actually very high quality.
You other option is to buy an HD Fury 2 like steve suggested but be sure to get the outboard power supply with it or you'll have problems with that too trying ot drive that RGB from the Fury signal through the switching box and all that cable in your ceiling as well .

I didn't mean to continue a different thread. I was just asking if there were other options beside the moome card.
my rgbvh cable goes thru a wall, then into my attic. If ever needbe I can easily remove it, but since I'd be walking on & disturbing my attic insulation which I just had blown in, I don't want to run another cable.
I could put the card in thew pj but I'd have to find a real long hdmi cable first. just lfor testing- I'll do that if all else fails.
I put the card in different switcher slots that I use for other items. I know they work.
I didn't know about the Fury 2- I'll research that Fury 2 box. Thank You

just for testing, you could put the BD player on top of the PJ and just use a 12 inch cable.
You can get really long HDMI cables from blue jeans cable, their Tartan brand, for cheap, 35 bucks for 40 feet , 40 bucks for 50 feet, etc.
For future reference, in a new theater build we usually run 1.5" PVC pipe through the ceiling to the projector location , makes swapping cables a breeze.

Hey, do the new Moome cards have any jumpers that need to be set to make them work in a switcher as opposed to the projector?

OK. I think the older cards did.
