In my experience the 801s will lock staight onto the HD furry 3 (and the 3 is the inportant bit)
The earlier versions caused issues with image shift which is why you may have needed an interface box like the extron.

the 109xi is the current version and would be over kill for what you are trying to do

Extron Computer-Video Interfaces - RGB 109xi

If you can get hold of the earlier versions that will work just as well on your projector
.
Extron Computer-Video Interfaces - RGB 109

My advice would be to get the Fury3 version with the x5 bnc output and try it first.

thank roland i found a 109 bought it and the wife came in with a extron 134xi the same day.so abit over kill ah.roland see if i want to watch blueray id connect from the barco 5xbnc to the vga of the hdfury3 then hdmi to blueray is that right.what if i want to watch my movie collection from my pc would that be vga on computer to the 9 pin vga on the front of the barco (port3). would that be all i would need for it or will i need some software for the pc.thank for your help

[Roland @ B4]

You are about right The port 3 is on the back be really carefull because there are RS232 ports on the front and a control port on the back and they all look similar. The contol port feeds a 30volt pin at several amps.

The furry should come with a very short x5 bnc female lead which you then use what ever length of bnc cable to connect into the x5 bnc's on the back of the projector.
There is a special pin out for the port 3 it's not a standard EGA connector. but essentially what you say is correct.
I don't think you will nedd specail software for the PC you will need to run it a sensible resolution and I would go for 1080x768 to start with and then you could fine tune from there

thanks roland. i went traveling down to straford last week and got a screen the screen is a draper onyx and the size is 75" x 40" i have set the screen about ten feet from projector.and im finding it weird do i set the h-width so im seeing the barco menu do i want to also get the grid thats round this to be in the screen width.
tryed a film on the beast through the pc and its as if im viewing every frame of the film rolling up the way.have i got the pc setup wrong? . havent used the extron as im finding it hard to source the right cables..
can anyone advice me please and thanks in advance

[Roland @ B4]

possition wise the projector as about right distance.
Good screen too if I recall
The edge of the grid (genlock pattern) should just reach the edge of the screen.
The interface should sort the rolling picture, its what they do
Describe the cable you need I or other might have a spare they want to move on.

thanks roland.i have a 15 pin male vga from pc to 5bnc to projector.if i hook up the extron ill need a 5xbnc from projector to 5bnc on the extron output . and a 9pin vga from extron in to 15 pin vga on the pc out. i think that is how it would go.

[Roland @ B4]

By the sound of it you did not get te extron cable that connects to the 134xi.
I don't know the pin outs but I bet they won't be standard and a quick lok at the spect sheet looks like that cable had a circuit board in it too Extron Computer-Video Interfaces - RGB 134xi

If you still have the 109 use that it will save grief.
I have a few x5 BNC's here gathering dust
