All of it!
Kidding.
I was reading through the thread and saw that you started asking what the other person thought he was gaining by using the HDFury. I assumed (incorrectly) you meant that it wasn't necessarily needed.
My next question is this:
In addition to the Fury (Blue, I imagine), I would need a HDMI-to-DVI cable/converter and an HD-15 (female) to RGBHV (male RCA) cable. Correct?
I asked what he expected to gain because he was having problems with the RGBHV side of the TV. Nobody is shut out at this time. All Mits owners gain is connection convenience or HDMI digital audio features. Your TV provides a native 480p scan rate so you are covered for SD DVD. You are not gaining anything on the video end. Bear in mind the key market for this product is CRT front projectors that allow 720p or 1080p scan rates. As noted it can also benefit those with 1080i only seeking HD audio from Blu-ray because of the required HDMI display connection to make that flow conveniently.
While your TV has a VGA input it is SD only. You need green which has the RGBHV breakout cable. The Fury has a DVI input so yes, an HDMI/DVI cable would be better than an adapter. You have to go in your TV menu and set your DTV input to RGB - covered in your owners manual. A caveat; the other poster had your same model so you may have the same centering problem... If you want to figure that out on your own then try the forum I suggested.
Output of Hdfury is VGA, so you need SUB-D HD15 Vga input on your display !
You also need to make sure this VGA input accept 1280x720 and/or 1920x1080
from a computer to make sure it will accept HD resolution !
I GOT THIS DIRECTLY FROM MANUFACTURE TODAY VIA E MAIL.
Or you can use a common VGA breakout cable. The green version has that. If you can't get the green version then order a break out cable separately. The only difference between the versions are interfaces for the output.
For clarity VGA is an RGBHV connection that uses a VGA connector commonly associated with a PC. In the past, long past, PC monitors had 5 separate RGBHV jacks. It's all the same. Some products support one or both and it does not matter which one you use provided it is HD capable (unlike the Mits VGA input). if you have five separate connections then you need a VGA breakout cable, VGA connector on one end and 5 separate connections on the other, with either RCA or BNC plugs for your RCA or BNC input jacks.
The reason I said the Blue one is that the Green one comes with a break-out cable with female BNC connectors, which I would have no use for as the jacks on the TV are RCA-stle female.
Thus, I presumed I would need to cable as follows:
From DVD player with HDMI output to DVFury - HDMI to DVI cable.
From HDFury with VGA output (male) to TV (RCBVH female connectors on back of unit) - DB-15 (female) to RGBHV (RCA-style - male).
Good catch on the BNC provided with green! Nope, you will need to use adapters, ugh, or buy a breakout cable with RCA. Otherwise, seems like you understand...
Again, excellent point! If you have RCA inputs then order the version that is the least expensive and order your own breakout cable.
Maybe I am missing something, but it seems that the HDFury would allow me to input HDMI HDCP 1080i or 720P from my HD DirecTV receiver into my video card on my computer, retaining the HD signal - hence I finally have HD record/playback capability! Good-bye HR21/HR20/TIVO!
Hmm... so you have a VGA input that you can capture? 720p I could see but at 1080i? I am very fuzzy on stuff like that... ya might be on to something there, keep the champagne chilled and ready...
Video cards don't have inputs. The ones that are combined Video/Tuner cards don't have VGA inputs. I'm not aware of any consumer boards with RGB inputs. There is a board, the bluefish 444 that has an RGB input, but it is nearly $10,000.
