![]() ![]() Of course we're not advocating any unauthorised use just checking whether HDFur圓 does what it says on the tin. So is the sale of HDFury legal? Neither the HDMI Licensing LLC organisation nor the Digital-CP LLC, which licenses the HDCP copy protection used for HDMI connections, seems to have made a definitive statement. I was even able to make test recordings of side-by-side 3D broadcasts and play them back. Upscaled DVD video can normally only be carried as an HD signal by HDMI cable, but the unit happily converts it to HD component. I also used a Hauppauge PVR, and budget Toshiba laptop, to make experimental captures and test AVCHD DVD burns of HD broadcasts, BD movie discs and online streaming services such as BBC iPlayer. I used a Trulink 2 Port HDMI Splitter to compare the HD picture quality by direct HDMI connection and by component analogue conversion. To check the claims made for HDFur圓, I obtained an off-the-shelf sample and made test connections to a Sky HD satellite receiver/recorder, a Sony PS3 and a Panasonic 3D BD player. A BD player recognises the AVCHD disc as a Blu-ray disc and plays it at 1080i or 720p. A low-cost blank DVD (4.7 GB) can record two hours of HD at 5Mbps. The latter digitises a 1080i or 720p component signal and sends it by USB cable to a PC for storage as an H.264 bitstream or conversion to AVCHD. ![]() Indeed, Amazon cross promotes the Hauppauge box, which has component HD inputs and a built-in H.264 hi-def encoder. Today Sony's European PlayStation blog revealed an impressive new set of images from the upcoming WipEout HD expansion pack, WipEout HD Fury.While a firm release date for the new content has yet to be announced, gamers can look forward to eight new tracks, 12 new racing craft and two all-new modes of play. All the HDFury devices are on sale at (albeit with incorrect images for the HDFur圓 device), with user reviews discussing their use alongside the Hauppauge HD-PVR for copying HDMI signals. The device is entirely standalone and negates the need for a PC, as all the conversion is done inside. ![]()
