HDfury1 was RGBHV output only, HDfury2 introduced YUV (component output) support while at the same time colordepth upscale was introduced to render 16-235 as 0-255. HDfury2 also came with various others usefull features such as sound output in both optical and analog and third party accesories support on it's output. (ex: Gamma X can be powered without need of any Power supply when used with powered HDfury2).
So basically HDfury2 had similar RGBHV output that HDfury1 except the fact that it have an extended colordepth range (better colors). On this new HDfury3 device, we kept the YUV feature of HDfury2 and completely re-worked the RGBHV output and improved the Audio output support.
We are now extremelly proud to announce that the LEFT SHIFT issue in RGBHV is NO MORE thanx to HDfury3 allowing any users to shift the picture LEFT/RIGHT at will (through push buttons to adjust H position).
Colordepth feature is now user selectable (ON/OFF through DIP switch).
The device also comes with 4x EDID banks, which allow you to configure the output to 720p/1080i out of the box. It's an usefull feature for anyone with 720p/1080i support only display (no 1080p) and/or any source that does not offer manual setting of output resolution (auto mode).
This new device includes 2x HDMI 1.3 inputs with MANUAL and AUTO switch between both inputs (last powered ON source takes the lead in Auto Mode).
The RGBHV pixelclock bandwith is greatly improved with 225Mhz support (1080p/72 now perfectly resolved)
