3DFury converts old TV sets to 3D
The first production samples of 3DFury will be shipped in a few days in February 2012. 3DFury (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) is a small video converter box accepting almost any video input, including 3Dstereoscopic HD 1080p in HDMI 1.4 from a Blu-ray reader, a Playstation 3, or a digital set-top box. At the output side of the box, you will find two digital connectors (HDMI and DVI) and an analog connector (VGA), plus a mini-Din for the 3D glasses control emitter. Audio outputs are analog and digital (SPdif 5.1) through a combo 3.5 mm jack. Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 are available on the HDMI outputs.
Dual projectors, analog and digital displays are supported.
3D Glasses control
The 3DFury box includes an RF emitter compatible with 8 different 3D RF glasses. The emitter is connected through a standard mini-DIN 3-pin connector.
3DFury setup
A few dip switchs on the 3Dfury must be set once depending on whether your TV is a 50/60Hz or 100/120Hz model or if it takes Digital DVI-D/HDMI or either RGBHV or component as input. No other setup is required.
For more information download the User Manual (we tried but it is not yet online, so recheck later). 3Dfury is 100% plug-n-play with automatic recognition of 3D mode. 2D video just passes through the 3Dfury without any modifications (except for advanced double/triple frame mode). Just connect the 3Dfury between the source and the TV/projector.
PS3 users need to make sure to have the latest firmware installed and go to Settings -> Display settings -> Video Output and select “automatic” so that 3D output is enabled. After that you just launch the game and that’s it – 3Dfury will take care of rest.
3DFury
If your HDTV or projector can play regular non-3D games and Blu-ray movies then the 3Dfury will work for you and will turn your existing HDTV or projector into a 3D home theater!
If your HDTV or projector cannot play HDMI content because it lacks of a HDMI input, 3Dfury can still turn it into a 3D home theater, thanks to the embedded HDMI to analog converter based on HDfury technology. The 3Dfury supports every 3D signal type in existence today including frame-packing, side-by-side, top-bottom.
The technical specifications include a long list of compatible formats. The firmware is updatable so that new features can be added in the future as needed.
The price of the 3DFury box is 399$, shipping included; 3D glasses are sold at 99$ apiece (329$ for 4 pairs). Orders are dispatched directly from the manufacturer in Taiwan in typically 4 days.
