Thanks! It was all down to changing the sync to internal and the output to YPBPR. That made it.
While you are at it. How do you update the firmware to the latest on the Fury?
Glad to hear you worked it out.
If you can already display PS3/4 then you have the good FW, no need to update. If for whatever reason you need to, you can can find any software tools needed and instructions on the HDFury Discord server.
Thanks a lot. Next step is to try it out with a PlayStation TV which I’m waiting for being delivered in the mail. I’m going to connect it to the D24 and see how it performs through the sharpscale

No, no need to use SDI at all! In fact SDI should be avoided for gaming.
You go PS3 HDMI output -> HDMI cable -> Portta -> Component YPbPr output (3 RCA cables + 3 BNC adapters) connected directly to the analogue input card of your BVM.
You'll need to figure out how to handle the audio, either you extract the digital audio from the HDMI output at some point before the signal goes into the Portta digital-to-analogue converter (this would be my recommendation) or you use the analogue audio output from the Portta. Alternatively can also use digital SPDIF audio output directly from the PS3 if your model supports it and that works better for your audio setup.
Is the recommendation to avoid SDI for gaming based on the fact that HDMI->HD-SDI purportedly adds lag?
Didn't Bob @ retrorgb test for this and find that neither HDMI->VGA or HDMI->HD-SDI added any lag (with the correct converter of course) https://www.retrorgb.com/upscalercompare.html
Sorry to bump an old topic here but it turns out the the current version of HDMI->HD-SDI linked on Bob's Amazon links does add around a frame of lag but it does also support 480p over HD-SDI, which it must do by internally upscaling or something.
The earlier version that I have doesn't add any lag but I thought it was broken because it didn't support 480p (only 720p) - it looks like that is not really supported by most(all) BVMS over HD-SDI. I did also try a Black Magic Design version and it was zero lag but also didn't support 480p (also only 720p).
I've searched around but haven't found many comparisons between the component cable of PS3 and HDMI.
Lots of guesses. Some even say that the component ooutput on the PS3 is of bad quality. Is that really the case? I've been using the HD Fury 3 on my BVM D24 but lately i've plan to switch to a component cable. The main reason is that therefor also can hook it up to my BVM 20F1E. The HD Fury limits me to the D24 only.
Once I get the cable I will try to post some comparison shots. If you know any good game segments that works well for shooting just give me a shout.
