HDFury Integral 2 4K HDR Splitter HDMI Audio Extractor Supports Two Inputs

It is a pity to see bad reviews of the HDFury Integral 2 here. It is a very well built, capable and versatile device, but it is not a device for everybody as it will typically need some setup, and certainly not everybody needs one. If you just need an HDMI splitter or switch there are certainly much less expensive options. If on the other hand, you have HDMI connected devices that are not playing well together, chances are that the Integral 2 can fix it. I bought my Integral 2 to solve a problem where my Apple TV 4K was putting out erroneous HDR 10 metadata and my SONY projector would black out whenever it received the erroneous information. With the Integral 2, I was able to customize or correct the erroneous HDR metadata and send a data stream from my Apple TV 4K to the projector that was optimized for both SDR and HDR signals. Can’t do that with a cheap splitter. Likewise, my 4K system would often default to 720p when startup timing issues resulted in an improper HDMI handshake. With the Integral 2's Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) manager involved, the system always comes up in the proper 4K mode. I have another older projector where it is necessary to spoof the EDID to get it to work properly with modern sources like the Apple TV 4K, and once again, the Integral 2 solves the problem. I haven’t needed the Integral 2 for audio extraction, but it can do that too. The Integral 2, like the other HDFury products, is a swiss army knife or Leatherman multitool type of gadget for solving audio video compatibility problems. And it can display the data that it is receiving and outputting on the screen when desired, so you know exactly what is going on. I doubt if anyone needs all of its capabilities, but I have been pleased how handy it has been in my system in solving a variety of HDMI compatibility issues. I thought that I might sell it after SONY sent a firmware fix for the blackout problem caused by the Apple TV sending erroneous HDR metadata, and removed the Integral 2 from my system for a few months. I recently put it back in the HDMI chain as the system is just more reliable and stable with the Integral 2 involved, so I am keeping it. There is a legitimate question about whether to buy via Amazon or direct from HDFury. I bought my Integral 2 via Amazon and have no regrets.

HDFury is the ONLY company to make a working device that does what I needed it to do. I have purchased generic-brand cheaper devices, like a $42 one, but those are unworking garbage products that I have already returned... I have connected my AVR (June 2011) Yamaha Aventage RX-A3010 to output the HDMI audio signal while displaying a 4k signal on my 4k UHD TV. This was a problem before my HDFury, because the Yamaha only accepts up-to a 1080p60 signal, and does not pickup my 4k signal's audio natively. I must add it's an HDCP 2.2 recognized signal ;) I use this on my PC's eGPU (nVidia GTX 1080 Ti) to broadcast in 4k60 to my 4k UHD TV via HDMI, while transmitting the surround 5.1 audio signal to my old Yamaha AVR RX-A3010 via HDMI using a custom "1080p24-444 8-bit All Sound" downscale setting on the HDFury. It took me about an hour and a half to customize this device through the Integral 2 Windows GUI. I did it all by just reading the instruction manual and playing with the GUI with some tips I read in the Integral 2 owners forums. At first it looked like I'd never get it to work, then I realized I needed to CUSTOM SCALE the audio output HDMI to a 1080p signal, so the Yamaha would recognize the HDMI signal. The Integral 2's GUI is very straightforward. Be forewarned, you may want to buy their iOS/android adapter to more-easily configure this device if you're trying to configure the HDFury from the same display that your PC is connected to. I used a separate laptop hooked into the Integral 2's USB port to configure everything so I could see how my display was affected by each setting. Strangely, I could never get the optical from HDFury to play sound in the rear speakers in my old Yamaha (stereo played fine), but I figure that's a technical limitation of my ancient AVR. VERY VERY VERY NICE DEVICE. I bought a very old HDFury about 7 years ago for a friend on his old 720p DLP TV, and it still works. This HDFury Integral 2 is sure to be every bit as magical.

I have an Onkyo tx-nr1030 reciever with hdmi 2.0 and a lg cx oled with hdmi 2.1. I have the picture going to the tv and the audio going to the receiver, because I can't pass hdr through the receiver. I tried many different splitters on amazon and had to return them, but this is the first that worked. I took a star off for price plus the hdmi dectection is a little slow when changing resolution and sometimes causing audio sync issues.

I had an AVRKey that decided to stop working with a recent update for my AppleTV 4K. Until that point life was good. The Integral2 should have solved my problem, and it did for our appleTV - but then my Xbox stopped working (would not lock). I am 100% positive that if I understood how to custom program the Integral how to recognize it was talking to an Xbox X and an Epson 5040 Projector, and then an ATV4K when switched on, that it would work - but at that point it was just easier to buy a new Receiver and bypass the old 1080p 100ft HDMI cable I was trying to continue to use. The Integral2 Is a very powerful device, but it's no where close to plug and play. It requires a level of knowledge most enthusiasts will need to acquire through many many hours of trial and error.

When my Xbox One and Epson 5040UB are connected through my receiver, the projector goes black and cuts off (audio as well). I was very dissapointed at my purchase of a new Xbox and the Epson projector. I was to the point of returning both until I did some research on AVS forums. Everyone was recommending the HD Fury, I purchased this and this is how I have it set up, Edid slide on custom, scale slide on autoscaling, make sure unit is unlocked (usermanual p13). No more issues with Xbox One X and Projector! Thank god for this poduct! I definitely recommend it! If you have a rack system - the LED signage is bright and awesome looking, I have mine turned on:)

Overpriced. There are several options for up/down scaler and splitter for 1/4th or less of the price. Also complicated. No telephone support. U have to join the discord channel and wait odd hours to get response from offshore team.

Very cheaply built. The plastic and connectors all feel flimsy and the instructions were not well done. Mine also stopped working after about an hour. The picture would flicker on and off. I returned it because I didn’t want to spend this much on something that barely worked

I have a perfectly functional Anthem receiver, unfortunately it only supports HDCP 1.3, rather than spend another $2K for a new receiver that does support HDCP 2.0 so that I can watch 4K content, I purchased the HDFury. This is a solid product, and it fits in fine with my Apple TV 4K & my LG OLED 4K tv. The customer support is fantastic too. I highly recommend this product if you have HDMI handshake issues.

Es un poco multifuncion esta bien

Arrivato in anticipo sui tempi di consegna stabiliti, si presenta come una piccola scatoletta, ma studiandone anche solo minimamente le possibilità, si ci rende subito conto di quanto possa essere potente e versatile questo piccolo dispositivo . Anzitutto ha risolto il mio problema, non riuscivo a riprodurre l'audio ultra HD a 24 bit ascoltando Amazon music con una Fire Stick 4k e una soundbar lg, ho optato per l'acquisto di questo estrattore audio(fa anche questo ma non solo), caro, molto caro, ma offre la possibilità di personalizzare il collegamento tra dispositivi audio video, a seconda delle esigenze, delle varie caratteristiche che possono variare quando ad esempio si usano diverse fonti video. È sicuramente un dispositivo che va studiato e capito per usarne le piene possibilità, ma se si hanno problemi di compatibilità molto probabilmente con la questo li risolvi velocemente, sono molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto, tant'è che mi sono già procurato anche il dongle HDFury goblue, che serve per poter ricevere il bluetooth e collegarsi tramite app con lo smartphone, in modo da poter velocemente e facilmente personalizzate la moltitudine di opzioni disponibili. Consigliato!!!

It does exactly what it says it will! I bought this to connect my Apple TV 4K to my 4K TV and Yamaha YSP 5600 soundbar. The problem I had was that the soundbar couldn’t pass through HDR, or DV signals. The soundbar has ARC; however, this is limited to lossy 5.1. So, with the Integral 2, I have unadulterated Dolby Vision (and Atmos) going to my TV, and at the same time, my soundbar receives the Atmos signal without Dolby Vision. I’ve not come across any other device that can do this. The cheaper devices were unable to do the above. Changing the soundbar wasn’t an option. The downside is the price; however, it’s a lot cheaper than replacing the soundbar. Configuration was not too difficult but the instructions could be better. Specifically, it would be useful to have example configurations. In my case, I needed to set the EDID to Auto using the physical switch on the device. However this meant no sound coming out of the soundbar. To get sound I needed to connect the device to a PC in order to access the config GUI and adjust the scaler settings to Autosense the soundbar. Not particularly intuitive but I got it to work within an hour.

Produit très efficace et intéressant , une fois les mises à jour effectuées, pour les personnes n’ayant pas d’ampli compatible avec les nouvelles normes et voulant le garder ou autres. Bref très satisfait du produit.

Fonctionne très bien, je m'en sert en splitter. Parfait
