Hi,

I recently had Sky box upgraded to UHD and it's incomparable with my HD621.

I was considering about an UHD722 but it appears in some ways obsolete. I see some are using the Fury Vortex 2.

Was wondering how to integrate it with the G68 as it appears to only have HDMI? 🤔

Many thanks in advance James

Hi

You use it with the HD621. Plug the audio out HDMI cable from the Fury to the HDMI in on HD621. The video out from the Fury goes directly to your display.

Your HDMI sources (e.g Blu-Ray, Sky-HD) plug into the Fury.

(That's an overview) . There is some tweaking to do afterwards which I will try and find the link to.

Cheers
Tom

Yep, as GMT has written its all pretty straightforward. I have two systems running with HDFury devices (one Vertex2 and one Diva).

All your 4k sources go via HDMI to the Vertex2. The Vertex2 splits into a signal to your 4k display and another to your HD621.

My 861 (and before that G68) just has one 4kSRC input, with the Vertex doing the switching between sources.
