FYI: The new "modified" V2 versions of the IFB-FULLHD cards (as well as Moome's other cards) will soon be up for sale here. Just waiting on some extra information from Moome including pricing.

Also, those photos are not the best because I didn't use a tripod so I might have shaken the camera while taking them Laughing

Another note, I was holding my camera at 180 degrees so the horizontal and vertical are swapped. I didn't want to edit the photos to rotate them with software after I took them because I didn't want to ad artifacts to the image due to an edit. Those are unedited and the only artifacts will have come from the JPG conversion.

Here is an image for the less astute observer Mr. Green

I took the RGB images from above, rotated them to the proper orientation, and cut out only the 1:1 part of the burst. Again this 1:1 1080p 60Hz, and the images are otherwise unedited.

Yepp I knew they were rotated. it does look though there was some give and take on vertical and Horizontal on sharpness, in the end it evened out for more even bandwidth as you san tell the horizontal lines are over attenuated possibly giving a false sense of sharpness. Am i somewhat correct Craig?

it does look like there's some roll-off in horizontal? Vertical looks much better though,

Actually, it is my hand shaking slightly when I took the photo that makes the lines appear softer on the modded board. This is a shot on the screen, so the projected light level for the camera was kinda low and my camera kind stinks. If I had put the camera on a tripod, the vertical and horizontal lines in the modded burst would have looked as sharp as the horizontal lines on the unmodded board.

I took three photos before and after the mod, then just picked the clearest of the three. My hand was just steadier for the unmodified shot that I took first. I think the most important information to take from the photos is how much brighter the vertical 1:1 got after the mod.

...and just in case you are wondering, there is NO ringing at all from the board Smile

That pattern looks really good Craig. I would've had the gamma board finished by now, but had to go on the road this week. Will finish it up tomorrow tough.

Complete information on the changes can be found in the Moome v2 card comparison document (PDF format). Below is a quick summary:

The VIM-FULLHD v2 user manual/data sheet can be found here. (PDF format)

Reviews/Testimonials

"Moome's original design squashed (attenuated) 65% of the full bandwidth when running 1080p 60Hz. With Mike's new circuit, the FULLHD v2 now can resolve the entire 1080p 60Hz signal. With Moome's new design his card is the first and only option that can do full 1080p and YCbCr... the image is amazing!" - Craig Rounds, official FULLHD v2 tester, professional calibrator (www.cir-engineering.com)
