All official Dr.HDMI 4K downloads in one place: every firmware release, the
Windows EDID utility, the USB drivers and the EDID collection. Files keep their original
HDfury names. Firmware is installed over USB from a Windows machine – see the manual
page on updating firmware.
Every firmware ZIP contains the firmware file and version 1.2 of the Windows
EDID utility – the program you use to write custom banks and to read the version
currently on your unit. Install the USB driver first, connect the unit over USB, and do not
power off during the update. How to update the firmware
→
The release before 0.8, with the same EDID Utility 1.2.
Kept online so you can roll back if 0.8 behaves oddly in your chain.
Installing it works exactly like installing 0.8; there is no separate downgrade procedure.
USB drivers
Select the driver based on your Windows version and the USB port version you
plan to use. Drivers only need to be installed once for all HDfury devices. If you connect the
unit to a Windows 10 or 11 computer before installing anything, Windows usually installs the
driver automatically – in that case you can go straight to the utility.
For Windows XP through 10 on either a USB 2.0 or a USB 3.0 port.
The one to try if 4.0.0 will not install.
Tools & EDID files
Ready-made EDID files for custom banks 1 to 7. Editing them by hand is done
with a separate tool such as AW EDID Editor or MonInfo; the HDfury utility writes the resulting
.bin file to the unit.
Required for both apps. It sits between the USB power source and the unit. Without it the unit is controlled from the rotary switch, over RS232 or with the Windows EDID utility.
Firmware release notes are not published by HDfury for the Dr.HDMI 4K. The
entries above list what each package contains and when it was released.
Installing and updating
How do I update the firmware?
Install the USB driver for your Windows version, once per computer. Windows 10 and 11
usually do it for you the moment you connect the unit.
Download the firmware ZIP and extract it to a normal folder — not inside the ZIP
viewer and not on a network drive.
Connect the unit to the computer with the USB to mini USB cable. A rear port on a
desktop is safest. The HDMI chain does not need to be connected.
Run the updater from the extracted folder, let it find the unit and confirm. Follow the
instructions in the tool itself.
Do not disconnect the unit and do not let the computer sleep. The write takes well under
a minute.
Reconnect and open the EDID utility to confirm the version on the device, then put the
unit back in the chain and reselect your bank.
Which USB driver do I need?
Windows 11: the 4.0.0 package at the top of the driver list.
Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP: the second 4.0.0 package.
If 4.0.0 refuses to install, or you are on a USB 3.0 port with older Windows: 3.9.2.
One installation covers every HDfury device you own.
How do I see which firmware my unit has?
Connect the unit and open the EDID utility; it reports the firmware version on the device.
The unit has no display, so the utility is the only place to read it.
Do I lose my custom EDID banks?
No. Custom banks 1 to 7 and the copied EDID in bank 8 are stored separately from the
firmware. A firmware update only refreshes the 32 factory presets on the blue, green, yellow
and red tables. Exporting your custom EDIDs to .bin files first still costs
nothing.
Can I go back to firmware 0.6?
Yes. Download the 0.6 package and run its updater exactly the way you would install 0.8.
There is no separate downgrade procedure, and that is why the older release is still
listed.
The utility cannot find the unit
Almost always the driver, the port or the cable. Install the driver that matches your
Windows version, use a rear USB port rather than a hub or front panel, and try another cable
— some mini USB cables are charge-only and carry no data. Still stuck? Use the
HDfury contact form.
Windows reports a virus in the download
A known false positive on the HDfury packages. If your scanner blocks it, verify the file
with HDfury through the contact form rather than
working around your antivirus on a stranger's advice.
Is a firmware update ever required?
Rarely. Unless you are chasing a problem support has linked to firmware, a working unit is
best left as it is.
