Build Your Own WolfPack 4K 60 Hz with a 36x36 Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher Chassis (8U).

The core of the 4K 60 Hz Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher Chassis consists of a 36x36 Modular Matrix chassis and its highly configurable backplane that supports 36 - slide-in input cards and 36 - slide-in output cards.

It is 4K at 60 Hz 4:4:4 at 18-GBPS compliant.

The 36x36 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.

You can control the matrix switch via its IOS or Android app, 2-button fast switch from the front buttons, a WEB GUI control or the Dual RS-232 / LAN serial ports.

These matrix systems have 18-ways to control them.

They also have optional Control4 Drivers.

By having 1-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.

They even have dual (2) RS232 ports and dual (2) LAN ports to use as two (2) separate control inputs or use as a backup if one fails.

Control:

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 below:
  1. Free iPad App (iOS)
  2. Free iPhone App (iOS)
  3. Free iPod App (iOS)
  4. Free Android Tablet App
  5. Free Android Phone App
  6. Free Samsung Galaxy Tablet App
  7. Free Samsung Galaxy Phone App

HDTV Supply has successfully installed our WolfPack, 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 8x1&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:

  1. Call us for a quote
  2. 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.

Q: What are the HDCP options?
A: Most every combination. You can choose either to open or close HDCP on the output card. A receiver that cannot support HDCP can also display the sources with HDCP.

What are the core chassis specifications and card architecture of this 36x36 matrix switcher?

A: The core system consists of an 8U rack-mountable 36x36 modular chassis with a backplane that supports up to 36 slide-in input cards and 36 slide-in output cards, delivering 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 at 18-Gbps with HDCP 2.3 and HDMI 2.0 compliance.

Its modular backplane converts and routes multiple signal technologies directly-eliminating external converters-and supports optional card types such as VGA, DVI, Fiber, SDI, CVBS, YPbPr, and Audio.

What control methods and redundancy options are built into this switcher?

A: The system features 18 ways to manage inputs and outputs, including iOS and Android apps, a WEB GUI browser interface, dual RS-232 serial ports, dual LAN IP control, changeable backlit front panel buttons for 2-button fast switching, an LCD display readout, and optional Control4 drivers.

For high reliability, it includes dual control redundancy via two separate RS-232 and two LAN ports (usable as dual inputs or backup failovers) along with dual redundant power supplies (100–240VAC).

How does the 1-port slide-in card design simplify maintenance and expansion?

A: The matrix utilizes hot-pluggable 1-port slide-in input and output cards that can be replaced or added while the equipment is powered on and operating without interrupting full system service.

If a single channel loses signal, only that individual card needs to be replaced with a spare rather than returning the entire chassis for repair. For instance, a 16x32 setup leaves 20 input slots and 4 output slots open for future expansion up to 36x36.

How does EDID management and separate audio routing function on this system?

A: The matrix provides advanced EDID management allowing selection between seven different EDID modes, direct copying from attached displays, or loading eight programmable memory presets to any connected source device.

Additionally, all 4K 60 Hz HDMI input and output cards feature dedicated separate audio outputs to route audio independently to external audio receivers, soundbars, or audio distribution systems.

What resolutions, cable distances, and environmental operating specs are supported?

A: The switcher supports scaling and resolution exchanges across 4K60, 4K30, 1080p/60, 1080p/30, 1080i, 720p, and 480p (it does not support 480i) along with Closed Caption (CC) pass-through.

Maximum recommended AWG24 HDMI 2.0 copper cable distances are ~12 feet for inputs and ~25 feet for outputs. The unit operates within -10°C to 50°C and can be stored from -25°C to 50°C.

What warranty, scene memory, and technical support services are included?

A: The switcher supports up to 40 preset scene configurations that can be saved and recalled on demand for fast routing setups across various applications.

Every system comes backed by a 3-Year WolfPack Advance Replace Warranty and includes free lifetime technical support provided via telephone, chat, text, and email.
