HDTV Supplys 4K WolfPackPro 18x18 HDMI Matrix Switcher w/Dual Monitors is a preconfigured integrated modular HDMI video & HDMI audio matrix switcher. The 18x18 chassis (4U) back plane allows HDMI technologies to be converted & switched eliminating external converters & it allows any input to be routed to any output, or the same input to be routed to all outputs, or any combination. The 4K WolfPackPro 18x18 HDMI Matrix Switcher is 4K at 30 Hz compliant and includes rack mount Dual 7" Color Monitors & a 7" Color Touchscreen for control as well as separate audio outs on both the HDMI in and out cards for connecting to your audio system.
The core of the 4K WolfPackPro 18x18 HDMI Matrix Switcher w/Dual Monitors consist of a 18x18 Modular Matrix chassis (4U) & its highly configurable WolfPackPro backplane that supports 18 input cards & 18 output cards. You can control the 18x18 HDMI Matrix Switcher via a 7" Color Touchscreen, Elan & 2-Way Control4 drivers, WEB GUI control, the dual RS-232 serial port & the supplied iOS/Android Apps. The matrix does not have IR nor a remote control. It comes with a free 7" Tablet.
The 4K WolfPackPro 18x18 HDMI Matrix Switcher manages HDMI input signals for the female HDMI 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.

Specs
Includes a Back Up Power Supply: In the unlikely event the main power supply becomes inoperable, the built in redundant power supply will seamlessly take over the matrices power needs.
Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher Specs:
Modular chassis size: 18x18 = 18 inputs and 18 outputs
When one is designing an HDMI Matrix Switch the most important initial specification is the number of inputs and outputs you will need in your facility. The next, and often forgotten, is how the user wants to control those inputs and outputs. HDTV Supply has your back when you're buying one of our WolfPack Family of Modular Matrix Switchers as we have dozens of way to control the inputs and outputs and are shown at Controlling WolfPack Modular Matrix Systems, as well as below:
HDTV Supply has successfully installed our WolfPackPro, WolfPackLite and our other HDMI Matrix Switchers in Sports Bars, Restaurants, Bowling Alleys, Fitness Centers, Malls, Places of Worship, Data Centers, Gaming Rooms, Nail Salons, County Clubs, Casinos, Factories, Conference Rooms, Schools, Home Theaters or many other installations requiring HDMI matrix switching. The reason, we are told by the users, is the number of features we offer compared to other companies they looked at.
These modular HDMI matrix switchers can usually be integrated with many third party control systems using the RS232 port on the back of the matrix.
For experienced AV hardware and software professionals who want to write their own drivers for 3rd party control systems from:
AMX™
Control4™
Creston™
RTI™
DTVGameControl™
Elan g!™
Media Switcher™
OnControls™
Savant™
SimpleControl™
SwitchItUp™
SAVI Control™
URC Control™
...and we have created a simple and very easy to use RS232 script to write your own drivers.
EXAMPLE: If you want to switch input 8 to output 1, 8, 16, the RS232 command would be x1&8&16. and notice the command has a period (.) at the end of the string. The matrix even replies "OK" when the right command is received and shows "ERR when receiving a wrong command. Here is the RS232 User Manual if you want to write your own drivers.
How to use the info:
END USER: If you are an end user and want to have a whole-house control system from any of the above 3rd party control houses but your budget can't support the price you were quoted, do the following:
Call us for a quote
Once you get our quote call a 3rd party control reseller or installer in your area and tell them "Here is the hardware I want to use, please give me a quote on writing the software and installing all of the hardware at my location." You usually can save $1,000s on larger systems.
CAVEAT: We are not certified by any of the above 3rd party control systems companies nor have the necessary hardware to verify, troubleshoot and support the 3rd party writing of the code. We do warranty, though, that the RS232 script in the above RS232 User's Manual has and will work to control the matrix directly.

Reviews
Refurbished
Controlling WolfPack™ HDMI Matrix Systems are very important when you're looking to buy a new one or replace your existing system. It should be one of the first questions that you ask when you're talking to the manufacturer as the matrix operation should be easy to send inputs to outputs in any combination and operated by any employee and you in your establishment. HDTV Supply has probably more ways to control their WolfPack Modular Matrix Switcher's than any of our competitors...and most are free.
Here are 18 - Ways to Control Our WolfPack Modular Matrix Systems:
We give you a free 7" Amazon Tablet
Any iPad
Any iPhone
Any Android Tablet
Any Android Phone
Any Samsung Galaxy Tablet
Any Samsung Galaxy Phone
Any Amazon Fire Tablet
Free Web GUI (with your Browser)
Dual RS232 ports
LAN (TCPIP) port
Lighted & Numbered Front Panel Push Buttons
Color Touchscreens
Our DTV Control System
Free One-Way Control4 Drivers
Optional 2-Way Control4 Drivers
Optional Elan Drivers
Optional RTI Drivers
HDTV Supply has elected not to have remote controls for our larger matrix systems with the reasons being:
They would be unwieldy to use because a 8x16 matrix would have to have 24+ buttons. How 'bout a 32x32 w/64+ buttons or 8+- screens to slide through...no way
The are easily lost and damaged
Batteries go dead often
You would need to go into the room where the matrix is to operate it
Each employee might have their own remote
If operated by food servers or bartenders they would get sticky
Some of our competition have them and they are approaching $500. Why would anybody ever use them when they can use the phone in your pocket, buy a used iPad on eBay for $150, or use our free Amazon Tablet.
You have access to over 2,000 Different WolfPack Modular HDMI Matrix Switchers using 18-ways to control them & picking from 12-modular matrix chassis sizes:
The below revolvable picture is for our larger 36x36 chassis, not this smaller 18x18 chassis, but shows the font and back which is similar.
Below is a video of the WolfPack 9x9 card cage model showing the fast switching speed and its features. The larger card cage models will operate exactly the same but will allow more input and output cards.
Example of our WEB GUI control multifunction buttons which can support sending the HEX code via RS232 to control the surrounding equipment such as another matrix switcher, projector etc.

Final testing: All Functions
QC final Inspection: Sticker, serial number, etc
Packing: Pack and ship
Q: How do the 2-power supplies work with the matrix?
A: For the 2 power supply system on the card cage matrix, it's a redundant system. We can have two power supply system on at the same time (if one's down, it can hop to another, it guarantees the matrix won't shut down). It also can operate with just one power supply on and the other one is for back-up
Q: What are the dimensions of the chassis?
A: 18x18: 4U - 482x390x355mm(L/W/H) - 18.97x15.35x13.98 inches
Q: Do you have any tips in the unlikely event the unit fails?
A: Turn it OFF and then disconnect the matrix from the AC power and all cables. Pull out each board from the rear and push back in. Plug all cables back in and turn it on.
