I used it to connect an HDMI device to my old CRT projector trought VGA input. I know that HDFury works better.  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-09-2009 07:23 PM                        Just out of curiosity, Gordon, what will you be using it to do?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-09-2009 07:27 PM                     We have several Christie Roadsters that support the resolution but they do not have a HDCP compliant hdmi input so blue ray often down scales itself  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 06-10-2009 02:14 PM                    Should work fine for that, though I think you can find equivalent devices for far cheaper on Ebay.  |  IP: Logged Tom Mundell Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Silver Spring, MD, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-10-2009 03:33 PM                        I thought the flag that down scaled the image on non HDCP displays hadn't been utilized by any discs (yet)?  |  IP: Logged Kevin Markwick Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Uckfield East Sussex England Registered: Sep 2004 posted 06-10-2009 07:12 PM                        So does that mean it will allow me to input an HDCP free signal to my Cine IPM from a Blu Ray player HDMI out into say the DVI input (with the correct input adapter on the end of it)?

The HD Fury works well but it does convert the Digital signal to analog. It will pass 1080p 60/24 from BD. More in demand are the ones that output HDMI without HDCP. They are out there but not openly marketed for obvious reasons. Most all of this stuff comes from over seas. A few years back someone was selling a DVI to DVI distribution block which also stripped HDCP but this feature was left off the brochure. It became a very popular box and soon word hit all the forums with people foolishly posting its secrete. It did not take long before a few people started posting this is breaking the law( and indeed it was, Im sure one of them turned them in ) and soon they received a letter from the MPAA and sales of that box came to a quick halt.  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-10-2009 11:59 PM                     ........What Alan said. I've used the HD-fury. It's not a stripper, since it is in itself an HDCP compliant device. The other device Alan mentions is a far better choice.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 06-11-2009 12:49 AM                     quote: Alan Gouger it draws attention from the wrong people.

The Cine IPM only does 1080i. Later this year a new version of it will support full HDCP and 1080P. Mark  |  IP: Logged
