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.

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.

Compatibility
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.

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:

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.

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?

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.
