We went further than anything we ever made and full filled Vertex² with revisited and improved HDR management features. We also added some new features never seen before such as TMDS switching for all inputs which allow to autoswitch sources such as ATV4K, X1X or Shield that no other switch on the market are able to autoswitch. Additionally Vertex² can physically cut any output via software trigger.
World First eARC HDMI2.1 breakthrough: Vertex² now support ARC and eARC sound extraction from TV for up to Atmos high bit rate over TrueHD forwarded to any AVR input via its HDMI audio output (ARC-Key feature) !
All HDfury legacy features remain present, each input EDID can be set individually from a list of 100 EDID, HDCP conversion, Scaling and signal operations such as Chroma/Color depth/Color space, PJ&Display macro, Infoframes modes, CEC command, ARC, HTPC mode, special modes, sound extraction and more.
All setup informations are visible at first sight via OLED, On Screen Display or Webserver.Vertex² is the smart solution and converter for interoperability between any HDMI revision equipment, for content creators, calibrators, streamers, digital entertainment centers, UHDTV retail, show sites, data centers, schools, conference or home cinema and much more.

Signal and setup info is everywhere and always available at first sight. Enhance your AV knowledge thru exact signal timing report with up to 3 digits decimals accuracy on frame rate. Display source name, resolution, chroma, colordepth, colorspace, hdcp, cst1, VIC, eotf, colorimetry, primaries, white point, max/min lum, maxCLL, maxFall, range and various infoframe (hdr, hlg, dv, spd, aud, hvs, vsi, hfv). Our new generation hardware is bringing HDMI explorer to another level, simply anything that travel thru is intercepted and exposed to the user via OLED display, On Screen Display or Web server.
- RS232 Control your unit and command your display
Initially build for and by the JVC PJ owners community, Vertex² is now capable of sending any custom RS232 commands to any RS232 capable display based on incoming signal types or particular metadata value. Decide which RS232 commands to send to your display when content is 3D, HDR10, SDR BT709, SDR BT2020 and more. All Vertex² controls are also available via RS232 and IP commands in order to ensure a total control from any serial based computer.
- TOTAL CONTROL
Vertex² can be controlled via IR/IP/RS232/push buttons or any web browser based devices (MAC/WIN/Linux/Android/iOS/etc..) thru embedded Webserver. RS232 is compatible for any serial based computer, 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
- HDMI/CEC TOTAL COMMANDER
HDfury Vertex² offers a unique CEC command manager, with CEC compatible equipment.
CEC commands allow a HDMI device to send commands to connected HDMI devices.
Highlight HDCP Features:
- Unique HDCP Doctor
Providing a total of 15 HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 engines for decryption/encryption, HDfury Diva 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 or 2.2 or not encrypt it at all if it was not encrypted initially. Dual conversion can be operated on all channels simultaneously.
- Display HDCP 2.2 Content with Non-HDCP2.2 Compliant Devices
HDCP 2.2 is the new copy-protection scheme for 4K UHD content. 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. Once Vertex² is an active part of your setup such issue will not bother you ever again.
