HDTV Supply's WolfPack 4K 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher is a preconfigured integrated HDMI video and audio modular HDMI matrix switcher. The 9x9 chassis backplane allows HDMI technologies to be converted and switched, eliminating the need for external converters. This setup enables any input to be routed to any output, or the same input to be routed to all outputs. The core of the 8x8 HDMI Matrix HDBaseT Switcher consists of a 9x9 modular matrix chassis and its highly configurable backplane, supporting 9 input cards and 9 output cards. Additionally, the 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher is 4K at 30 Hz compliant, and it can be controlled via front buttons, a web GUI, or the RS-232 serial port. While it does not include IR or a remote control, it can be managed with its iOS and Android app.
The WolfPack 4K 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switch effectively manages HDMI input signals for both inputs and outputs. It supports long-haul transmissions, ensures power reliability in the event of failure, and offers flexible solutions for AV system deployment. Our 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher can route high-resolution HDMI sources to various HDMI displays, monitors, projectors, or audio receivers. The EDID can be selected from seven different modes or copied from the attached displays.

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 Users Manual has and will work to control the matrix directly.

A: No, the cables are used when the application has one source and one widescreen. They can't be used with this matrix and need to be set aside and not used.
Q: Can I use unpowered HDMI over CAT6/6 extenders with this matrix?
A: We don't recommend them with our matrices, or anyone else's, due to them consuming power from the matrix and the matrices are not designed to power many external devices.
Consider the example of 9 - HDMI balun transmitters that need 0.5a amp each to power it times 9 or 4.5 amps the matrix would have to supply. The power supply of this matrix is rated at 12v at 3.5 amp so in that example the matrix would probably break down and your warranty may be voided. See the companion powered HDMI extenders in the above OPTIONS that have 2-AC adapters.
HDMI cables with built-in boosters also consume power also and we don't recommend more than 2, if at all. You must use our low power ones, also.
Q: Do the optional HDMI extenders support Remote IR?
A: They send perfect audio and video but the remote IR doesn't support this device as it only works with with 1-source & 1-TV. See our RF remote controls if you want to control all your devices from afar.
