HDTV Supplys WolfPack Modular 4K/60 9x9 HDMI Matrix Switchers is integrated HDMI video and HDMI audio modular HDMI matrix switcher. The 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.
The core of the 4K/60 9x9 HDMI Matrix Switcher consists of a 9x9 Modular Matrix chassis (2U) and its highly configurable backplane that supports up to 9 input cards and up to 9 output cards. It is also 4K at 60 Hz compliant. You can control the switch via its IOS or Android app, a 15-Button Remote Control, 2-button fast switch from the front buttons, a WEB GUI control or the RS-232/TCPIP serial ports. These matrix systems have 25 ways to control them. They also have optional Crestron, URC, Elan & 2-Way Control4 Drivers.
The heart of the Modular HDMI Matrix Routers is the WolfPack chassis backplane which allows customization of the configuration for input and output cards to match every need of the system and application. The matrix supports hot-plugs, and you can change the cards while the equipment is still working. 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. The complete matrix doesn't have to be sent to us for a repair.
HDTV Supplys implementation of the HDBaseT technology and this product adds virtually zero latency to the HDMI audio and video signal, less than 7 microseconds (0.000007 sec) over 130 feet of CATx cable. At 100 feet you are talking about 3 microseconds (0.000003 sec). This means for example, in a church or auditorium, the speakers lips are always in synch with the video image on all the TVs and projectors.

EDID Explained: The Modular HDMI Matrix Routers EDID provides for optimal source-to-screen performance. EDID will optimize the video card output for the capabilities of the end display. The EDID ghost unit enables the copying, emulating, cloning, and "learning" of EDID data from a display. Our EDID Emulator and repeater comes with predefined presets, user programmable banks, Sink EDID sniffing bank and more. Our EDID Emulator ensures proper operation, for the best performing HDMI audio and video signal between any source and display Resolves loss of video, intermittent (flashing) video, snow, or color-space (purple or red) issues.

HDMI HDbaseT Extender Helpful Tips & Recommendations:
- Keep cables away from any equipment with an electromagnetic wave, e.g., mobile phone, microwave, radio equipment, fluorescent lamp, high voltage power lines, etc.
- CAT6/7 cables should not exceed 130 feet (40m) at 4K/60.
- Please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B standards when terminating network cables in the field.
- Shielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors are recommended to safeguard against random video flashes caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).

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
...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, the RS232 command would be 8x1&8&9. 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.
