This WolfPad 1080p 8x4 Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher supports HDMI over CAT6 up to 450 feet. The chassis back plane allows various 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, or any combination with multiple technologies.

This system supports the latest products that have HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.3 compliancy for the new DirecTV receivers, cable boxes, Firesticks, Roku's, AppleTVs and other devices that require HDCP 2.3 and HDMI 2.0.

HDMI EXTENSION (POE): HDTV Supply uses our exclusive LHDT (Long HDMI Distance Technology) to extend HDMI over Ethernet cables to 450 feet over CAT5e/6/7. The picture quality looks like you are using a 3-foot HDMI cable. It also sends the appropriate voltage to power the receiver behind each TV so no AC adapters are needed (POE).

IN & OUT CONTROL (ALL FREE): This HDMI Matrix Switch can control the Ins and Outs the following ways:

  • Front Panel Control
  • iPad or iPhone apps
  • Android phone or Android tablet apps
  • Samsung Galaxy phone or Galaxy tablet apps
  • WEB GUI
  • IR Remote Control aimed at the front panel
  • Windows Software
  • Dual RS-232 and
  • Dual TCP/IP control

NOTE: The above control sends any input, to any output, in any combination on a tablet. If you want to, say, change the channels on a cable box or DirecTV receiver, see our WolfPad TV Control Systems.

Internal Video Wall Processing

Internal Video Wall Processing: Not only is this product an HDMI matrix switch, but it is also designed to support multiple video wall configurations. Your tablet is used to create video walls and the number of video walls is only limited by the number of outputs that you have. It supports Drag-N-Drop Video Wall Processing & setups and any TV can be rotated. To set up video walls all you need to use is a PC so you can then change the sources using a tablet. See the examples below:

Example 1: Create a 2x2 Video Wall using 4-TVs with either one large picture or 4-individual pictures at one, or multiple locations.

Example 2: Create a 3x3 Video Wall using 9-TVs with either one large picture or 9-individual pictures at one, or multiple places.

Separate Embedded Audio

Separate Embedded Audio In and De-embedded Audio Out: The matrix allows you to display video with separate audio coming from another audio source as it supports embedding the audio on the input cards 3.5mm audio connector and then de-embedding the audio on the output cards 3.5mm audio.

Seamless Switching

Seamless Switching: Our WolfPackGold Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher can be configured with instantaneous video switching which delivers full 1080p video powered by our WolfPack engine implemented at each output port. It switches instantly taking only 80ms or 0.08 seconds. 

Resolution Scaling

Hardware Scaling via DIP Switches on both in and out cards: The 8-pin DIP switch on the cards are for the up/down manual scaling of resolutions. Each HDMI card has an 8-pin DIP switch to select multiple resolution settings to conform to your HDMI source devices and the HDMI destination devices.

1080p 8x4 Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher supporting CAT6 up to 450 feet Configuration Example:

  • 1 - 8-card in and 8-out chassis
  • 2 - 4-port 1080p HDMI input cards = 8-1080p HDMI inputs
  • 1 - 4-port RJ45 Ethernet output cards = 4-1080p CAT6 outputs to 450'
  • 4 - 1080p CAT6 to HDMI Receivers to 450'

By having 4-port slide in cards the matrix is exceptionally 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 doesn't have to be sent in for repair.

The heart of this 1080p 8x4 Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher supports HDMI over CAT6 up to 450 feet is the WolfPad chassis backplane which allows customization of the configuration for input and output cards to match every need of the system and application. The matrix supports hot plugs, and you can change the cards while the equipment is still working.

What Is a WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher?

A WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher is a single-chassis device that routes any HDMI source — such as a cable box, satellite receiver, streaming player, or computer — to any TV or display in a building, simultaneously and independently. Unlike an HDMI splitter (which sends one source to many screens) or a simple HDMI switch (which selects one source for one screen), a matrix switcher lets you show a different channel on every TV at the same time. HDTV Supply has sold WolfPack fixed matrix switchers to sports bars, restaurants, hotels, churches, schools, and commercial AV integrators since 2000.

Fixed vs. Modular: Which Do You Need?

WolfPack comes in two families: Fixed and Modular. Fixed matrix switchers have a set number of inputs and outputs built into one box — for example, 4 inputs × 4 outputs (4×4) or 8 inputs × 8 outputs (8×8). They are plug-and-play, rack-mountable, and the right choice when your input/output count won't change. Modular matrix switchers use a chassis with swappable I/O cards, scaling from a few ports up to 80×80 or beyond. If you know exactly how many sources and screens you need today, a fixed unit is typically lower cost and simpler to deploy.

Available Fixed WolfPack Configurations

HDTV Supply offers WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers in the following sizes:

  • 4×2 — 4 sources to 2 displays
  • 4×4 — 4 sources to 4 displays
  • 8×8 — 8 sources to 8 displays
  • 8×9 — 8 sources to 9 displays
  • 16×16 — 16 sources to 16 displays
  • 16×32 via CAT6 — extends signal up to 450 feet over CAT6 cable

Select models include built-in video wall processing, multiview, and picture-in-picture (PIP) — allowing two or more sources to display on a single screen simultaneously.

Control Options for Fixed Matrix Switchers

Every WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher supports multiple control methods so you can integrate it into any environment:

  • Front-panel buttons — manual source switching directly on the unit
  • IR remote control — included with most models
  • RS-232 serial control — for integration with Crestron, Control4, AMX, and similar systems
  • TCP/IP (LAN) control — send hex commands over your network from any device
  • Web GUI — browser-based interface for switching without additional software
  • Free iOS and Android apps — available for select WolfPack models

For RS-232 hex command strings and TCP/IP control protocols, see our WolfPack HEX Code Reference and TCP/IP Control Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fixed HDMI matrix switcher and a modular HDMI matrix switcher?

A fixed HDMI matrix switcher has a set number of HDMI inputs and outputs built into a single unit — for example, 8 inputs and 8 outputs. A modular matrix switcher uses a chassis with interchangeable I/O cards, so you can configure it for many different port counts and expand it later. Fixed units are simpler and more affordable; modular units offer flexibility for larger or changing installations.

Can a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher show different channels on different TVs at the same time?

Yes. A matrix switcher routes any input to any output independently. In an 8×8 configuration, all 8 displays can show 8 completely different sources simultaneously, or multiple displays can share the same source — in any combination you choose.

Can I control a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher from a Crestron or Control4 system?

Yes. WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers support RS-232 and TCP/IP control, which are standard integration protocols supported by Crestron, Control4, AMX, and other third-party control systems. HDTV Supply provides hex command strings and driver documentation to support custom integrations.

What resolution do WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers support?

Resolution support varies by model. WolfPack fixed matrix switchers are available in 1080p (Full HD) and 4K 30Hz configurations. Select 4K models also support HDR and HDCP 2.2. Always check the individual product specification sheet for confirmed resolution, color depth, and HDCP version.

How far can I run HDMI from a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher?

Standard HDMI outputs on fixed matrix switchers support runs up to approximately 25–50 feet depending on cable quality and resolution. The WolfPack 16×32 model transmits over CAT6 cabling for distances up to 450 feet per run. For longer distances with other fixed models, HDMI extenders can be added at each display.

What is the best HDMI matrix switcher for a sports bar?

For sports bars with up to 16 TVs, a WolfPack Fixed 16×16 HDMI Matrix Switcher is a popular choice — it handles 16 independent sources (cable boxes, satellite receivers, streaming devices) and routes any of them to any TV. For larger venues with 20–80+ TVs, HDTV Supply's WolfPack Modular Matrix Switchers or AV Over IP systems are typically the better fit. Call 833-WOLFPACK (833-965-3722) for a free consultation.
