WolfPack HDMI Switchers HDTV Supplys WolfPack™ 4K Sports Bar 8x16 HDMI Matrix Switch is a preconfigured integrated HDMI video and HDMI audio modular HDMI matrix router. The 36x36 chassis's back plane allows HDMI technologies to be converted and switched eliminating external converters and it allows any input to be routed to any output, or the same input to be routed to all outputs. The application is simple and easy to use because its based on your floor plan. The hardware/software combo can even automatically turn on all of your TV's to the desired TV channel and a time each morning of your choosing.

We think it's the best because it allows the iPad to become the complete remote control for all of your TVs and it also allows the user to see what is playing on the selected Cable boxes or DirecTV receivers in real time, prior to changing the channel. This gives you and your staff the ability to really focus on your customers rather than wasting time scrolling for games. The Sports Bar 8x16 HDMI Matrix Switcher manages HDMI input signals for the inputs and female HDMI outputs for HDMI cabling. By having 1-port slide in cards the matrix is very reliable as in the unlikely even there is a loss of signal you just replace the card with a spare you have purchased or order another from us. The complete matrix does not have to be sent to us for a repair.

These HDMI Matrix Switchers have an option to add a 1080p 3U Rack Mount 7" inch Dual Color Display (shown) for you to select & see screens of what is happening in your matrix system located in other rooms. It requires the dedicated use of 2-of the HDMI outputs to wire to the 2-HDMI inputs of the dual display. Those 2-Matrix HDMI outputs cannot be used for anything else so count the number of outputs you need and add two (2) more to see if this matrix fulfills your needs. Also, the sources feeding the displays must be set at 1080p.
