Folks,
Just plugged my new fullHD card into my G70 and the result is the worst picture I have ever seen!
It's made up of vertical lines with wide spaces between. The lines wiggle and the highlights are smudged. I've swapped out players, cables and tried several resolutions - all the same.
I'll post some pictures when I'm near a decent connection on Monday.

Any ideas before I send it back as faulty?

Ta.

Did you check the memory settings in your G70 ?

Go into Service Mode Enter Enter ^ V Enter
go into Expert Mode Enter Enter < > Enter
In the Expert mode load your old memory (that one that you used before) in the new memory that your G70 is using when it gets the new signal over the HDMI card.
Don't forget to save your changes with button Memory

Make this for HD and SD sources (try each of your source and check what memory is loaded)

Otherwise the G70 takes a memory who is near to factory settings and not considering all your adjustmens you made before for your local installation.

Card is fine, I had this phenomena also before I realised that it need some adjustments in the Gxx too.

Note that the 'Expert' mode is only available on FW > 1.10, IIRC. You can of course always do new a new memory block setup.

Barco,

Did you try changing your clamp settings. Try H/C if you have not already.

This is what I'm getting (see attached) having done nothing but connect the blur-ay player. Will clamp setting sort this??

Moome says my card must have been damaged in transit and has asked me to return it for replacement.

Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to see if it's all been worth the wait! :)

I’ve now received the replacement card, which is free of the last problem. :)

But…
Now I have an apparent timing issue: I can only watch the right hand side of the film on the left hand side of the screen! If I attempt to correct this with the “shift” control on the G70 I quickly run out of adjustment way before the picture is centred. I can’t find any other adjustments for this on the G70 and the Panny DB player doesn’t have anything and I don’t have a scaler in between as I don’t have an HDMI 1.3 scaler.
Have I missed something or is the card faulty again?! :rolleyes:

Hi barcoed,
I would Say your Moome HDMI card is faulty again :mad:, Email Moome with the picture you are seeing from the G70, when you send the HDMI card back to moome and it's then repaired "Make sure that he checks it out in his G90" before sending it back to you to insure there is no problem this time round :eek:...

Cheers....

I've asked Moome for a refund. He's suddenly gone very quiet.

It's a sure bet I'll never buy another Moome product. Guess I'll need to progress the refund via the credit card company / Paypal.
What a shame.

Moome is A good Guy and I am sure he will come to the Party, If you Want to get the most out of your G70 the Moome HDMI card is A must There is no Better...

Why Dont you send it back to him and get him to look at it once more but Get him to check it out in his G90 this time before he sends it back to you as I have stated above....

FWIW I had to send my HDMI card to him Once for repair, And when I had the Moome DVI card A couple years ago it took him 2 go's to repair that Faulty card... But Moome came through in the END, I know it is frustrating...

He almost never answers my emails and when he does he asks for basic information already given. I get the impression he doesn't want to know.

Moome may not be the swiftest to act, but he does come through. If you simply cannot wait, that's one thing, but he will do what he can to correct things.

Moome has now been in contact and has offered a refund for which I am grateful.

barcoed - just curious, but did you/have you ever tried the Wyman DVI card? Maybe I was just lucky, but mine worked like a charm from day one, and I've never really had an urge to look anywhere else....

still not quite sure why everyone is so gaga over the Moomes, when the Wyman does the job so well, and is nicely supported by the maker.

Because the Moome HDMI card is higher end better dacs,Gamma, will except YcBcr 422 The list go's on, where as the DVI is only RGB....

Cheers....

No, never tried a Wyman - my experience with these two cards has put me off the idea for good. :mad: I'm currently investigating an HTPC solution with a HDCP stripper going to the G70 via RGBHV...

well, fwiw, I'd bet the Wyman would do the trick for you. cinema mad's disclaimer notwithstanding, my DVI12 is working very nicely with my Runco 980ultra. Even tho I have it mounted in a Sony 1270 switcher, and then run RGBHV to my pj; in theory, it would work even better using an hdmi run direct to you G70. I do know that it communicates well with my Tosh HD-DVD and my PS3; I've also connected my DVDO VP50 to it (so as to use hdmi out of the VP50) and it is currently functioning with my DVDO Edge.

Guess a moome could be better - haven't seen one, and I prefer my eyes to paper specs. (if one could buy from specs alone, I'd have an incredibly horrible sounding stereo system.) Honestly can't see where there would be a lot of improvement in my system - imagine the Runco is the limiting factor here.

Either way, I'd sure try and pop in a Wyman before dealing with an HTPC, but I'm just lazy, too. ;)

I have bought (3) Moome cards from the site...

(1) Sony G90
(2) Marquee, one being a DVI version and the other the new HDMI one...

Never had a single problem with the cards and they work right out of the box.

I would suggest not to get discouraged and do what it takes to make it work, at the end the results are well worth the effort!

Hi all, related question:
Just installed my Moome Full HD internal card on my G70 and am trying to set it up with my AVR (Onkyo 906) as well as my new Sony PS3 utilizing HDMI. I am getting a 'No Input' message although the red LED lights up on the Moome card when I plug my HDMI cable into either of the 2 HDMI in ports.
I have the card installed in the leftmost slot, have set up the HDMI out on my reciever and have selected each input available on the G70 menu.

The AVR is able to pass the component and S-Video signals (G70 Input A and Video) from my DVD carousel through to the G70 but I get 'No Input' via HDMI. I

s there another step in the set up I'm missing to get signal through HDMI using my new Moome card or is it supposed to just plug in and go?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nothing is plug in and go...
Have you tried to go from the source(PS3) direct to the Moome HDMI card to see if you get A signal?..

Make Sure you have your G70 set to input "B" for the Moome card and make sure the jumper pin is on jumper pin 1 on the Moome card...

If you still dont get a picture to your G70 try A different HDMI cable, If you only have A spare HDMI cable that is short just bring the Source component over to the G70...

Let us know how you go Cheers....

Just tried the PS3 direct- no luck. I'm using a brand new Monoprice cable but I bought 2 of them in case I needed to run something other than my AVR... I'll try the second cable.

Didn't know about jumpers on the card... uninstalled it and I find 2 sets of 3 pin jumpers, each having 2 pins 'connected'. Which would be the correct set and which pins would be correct?

Thanks muchly for responding. :)

Also make sure that the output is set to the desired resolution. (I am assuming you would want 1080P.)
If I recall correctly the jumpers are for the power requirement of your Pj.

well the good news is that I was able to verify that the card works to the point it receives a signal. the bad news is that this was only possible on my neighbors Sony crt and we could not replicate our results on my own pj. I'm left with the belief that my projector has a problem with its IFB port. Entirely possible as I 'inherited' this projector when I bought the house.
Where to go from here? Argh.

Was it A Sony G series projector that you tried it in, if not the Moome card may have A problem...
Make sure you check the jumper pins are in the right positon for sony G series according to the Full-HD manual....

Cheers....

Thx again CM. No my neighbor doesn't have a G70/G90. So the Full HD manual has something to say about the jumpers? I completely missed that. So my stock setting is incorrect as one is set left and one is set right (per above).

Would have worked on this more today but was woken up at 6am with a burst pipe. 15 hours later still not fixed and no chance until this freak snow/ice goes away. :(

Thx much.
