Providing a total of 6 HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 engines for decryption/encryption, HDfury Vertex offers a total HDCP workaround solution including HDCP 2.2 > HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 > HDCP 2.2 both ways conversion within the same unit. It is capable of connecting any HDCP1.x or HDCP2.x source devices to any HDCP1.x or HDCP 2.x sink devices. Each RX block decrypts the input first whether its 1.x or 2.x. Then each output port can individually encrypts it to 1.4(both) or 2.2(only top port) or not encrypt it at all if it was not encrypted initially. Dual conversion can be operated on both channels simultaneously.
Ultra-Scaling up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz
HDfury Vertex offers impressive scaling modes to ensure that any HDMI/HDCP revision sink device get fed at its max capabilities ALWAYS and GUARANTEED.
Featuring Upscale, Downscale, Passthru and Bypass mode as well as Chroma Conversion and Color Space and Color Depth modification on the fly at 8, 10, 12 and 16bit for FHD, UHD and DCI 4096x2160p. Each output can be set with individual scaling rules.
Display HDCP 2.2 Content with Non-HDCP2.2 Compliant Devices
HDCP 2.2 is the new copy-protection scheme for 4K UHD content. Not only it is not backward compatible but many recent 4K devices don’t even support it. Source devices, including media servers and head-ends like Netflix, will encode their 4K content with this new scheme. TVs must be HDCP 2.2-enabled to play it, and everything in the video chain including switches and receivers must be compliant as well, or the display will go dark and/or display a HDCP error message. Bad news for consumers who have purchased expensive, high-bandwidth, processor-rich switchers, receivers and displays to accommodate 4K. While the newer products may support the bandwidth needs of 4K, they won’t play copy-protected works until Vertex is an active part of the setup.
2×2 Splitter up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz 18Gbps
Splitting any signal up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz signal is now a reality, thanx to IR/USB/RS232/ push buttons or Bluetooth (with GoBlue), you can easily switch between 2 inputs that will be replicated to 2 outputs. HDCP conversion can be configured and applied on the fly in order to always output the type of HDCP signal encryption that your display or sink device is expecting.
2×1 Switcher up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz 18Gbps
Switching between 2 inputs up to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz signal and scaling through all HDMI levels and revision is now a reality, thanx to IR/USB/RS232/ push buttons or Bluetooth (with GoBlue), you can easily switch between 2 inputs that will be scaled to one or more output. HDCP conversion can be configured and applied on the fly in order to always output the type of HDCP signal encryption that your display or sink device is expecting.
HDR and Infoframe Metadata Live Injector and Extractor
The Vertex is capable of injecting and extracting live Infoframe and HDR metadata at any resolution and also in real time. Incoming metadata and self-generated metadata can be built and deciphered in real time. Additionally Vertex also support AVI infoframe, VSIF and others infoframes manipulation.
HDMI Audio Extracting
HDfury Vertex can extract HDMI audio up to 5.1 and pass-thru any sound format including Atmos and DD+ via HDMI while downscaling the video for older AVRs, it have a simultaneous output of analog L/R stereo and up to 5.1 optical S/PDIF via 3.5mm combo jack connector.
RS232 Control for MAC/Linux/Windows
All Vertex GUI controls are available via RS232 commands in order to ensure a total control from any serial based computer.

The most advanced EDID Management solution we ever done is now available from the Vertex with either: A Selected EDID bank, a Custom uploaded EDID, a Self-generated Automix EDID or a Fixed basic EDID. Sniff EDID from connected sink devices, Save, Edit, Load any custom EDID table at any time. Select and pick any EDID of your choice from a preloaded list of 100 EDID tables, it loads and reset HPD to present your chosen one automatically. AutoMix EDID feature will create a custom EDID by mixing both sink EDID connected to the output ports. Mixing rules in AutoMix mode can be selected through 4 different algorithms. Some EDID flags can be forced in Automix such as: 2.0 Stereo, 5.1 Multi, 7.1 Full Sound, Native, BT.2020/xvYcc, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision, 3D Remove, YCbCr Remove
Vertex also offers the possibility to have a specific/individual EDID per input.
Vertex automatically sniff DV mandatory string from connected capable DV sink.
HDMI/CEC TOTAL COMMANDER
HDfury Vertex offers a unique CEC command manager, with CEC compatible equipment.
CEC commands allow a HDMI source to send commands to connected HDMI devices.
TOTAL CONTROL
Vertex can be controlled via IR/USB/RS232/ push buttons or Bluetooth (with GoBlue).
4K Vertex Total Control APP is available on Google Market for mobile and tablet running Android and from the Apple store for iOS. RS232 is compatible for any serial based computer, USB GUI Utility for Windows PC, IR control and various physical buttons for configurations are also available. Thanks to the community, IR pronto code list is added to iRule and Logitech Harmony for even easier and seamless integration
2×2 Matrix to 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz 18Gbps
Matrix solution is available for HDMI stream up to 4K60 4:4:4 8b, 4K60 4:2:2 12b, 4K120 4:2:0 8b or 8K30 4:2:0 8b.
