HDTV Supplys Wolfpack 18x2 Network HDMI Matrix Switcher is an easy to use HDMI video switching and distribution system that allows the design of multi-source to multi-video display systems using standard Ethernet cables. Because it is a matrix switcher, it allows any input to be routed to any output; or the same input to be routed to all outputs, or any combination. It is controlled by a PC or MAC via its LAN port with the supplied Browser Based WEB GUI and optionally via a WEB GUI on a cascaded wireless Router.
HDTV Supplys Wolfpack HDMI over IP products, like this one, lets you create 1080p HDMI matrix systems using a dedicated Gigabit network and CAT-5e/6 cabling. Many combinations of HDMI inputs and HDMI outputs is possible that can be easily expanded for additional HDMI sources and HDMI TVs and projectors given ports are available on the supplied 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch.
Our Wolfpack 18x2 Network HDMI Matrix Switch is a preconfigured matrix switch using 18 - Transmitters and 2 - Receivers and our 24 - port Ethernet Switch. It uses CAT 5e/6 cables and a Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch with MJPEG techniques and an industry standard IP protocol to deliver 1080p video from sources that are 300 feet away from the Ethernet switch and another 300 feet away to the TVs. It also allows the system to grow in the field as its design allows you the flexibility of adding more video sources or more displays to the system based upon the number of unused Ethernet ports available.

CAUTION: This HDMI Matrix Switcher Over a LAN system requires a dedicated HDMI video system using the supplied Ethernet switch and not attached to any existing LAN system due to the unknown bandwidth impact on the HDMI video from that network. A single, dedicated, LAN must be used to keep it from interfering with the rest of an existing LAN or vice versa. With all devices in a single LAN, switching sources involves modifying the IP of the Receiver rather than actively manipulating the LAN configuration of the managed switch. The design needs to meet these specs:
- One Dedicated LAN
- No other network appliances in the LAN
- Unique subnet
- No other network appliances in the subnet
NOTE: This Network Matrix comes with HDMI Transmitters and HDMI Receivers and each of them needs the IP address to be setup based upon your needs. The MAC address also needs to be setup based upon your unique system configuration. Please see the above VIDEOS on how to do it.
