I recently tested two products from HDFury: The ‘Vertex2’ and the ‘Diva’. These are pro-level HDMI devices that are complicated to use, but provide an amazing amount of control over the signal. Each device offers 4-in, 2-out HDMI matrix switching capabilities, full control over EDID and up/downscaling between 4K and 1080p. These products are for […]
