The WolfPack Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher Chassis manages many type of HDMI signals including HDBaseT CATx cabling. These Modular HDMI Matrix Routers support long haul HDMI transmissions, maintains power reliability in the event of failure and offer the best flexible solutions for an AV system deployment.

Our Modular HDMI Matrix Switches also can support high-resolution HDMI sources routed to HDMI displays, monitors, projectors, or audio receivers, etc. The EDID can be selected between seven different modes or copied from the attached displays.

Supports EDID Management: Ensure that even the most difficult display can receive audio and video with eight programmable memory presets loadable to any source connected to the matrix.

Includes a Back Up Power Supply: In the unlikely event the main power supply becomes inoperable, the built in redundant power supply.

Modular HDMI Matrix Routers Specs:

• Modular Configuration: 18x18
• HDMI input cable distance: up to 25 feet using quality HDMI 2.0 cables. Cable quality matters; not all HDMI cables will reliably carry 4K 60 at this distance
• HDMI output cable distance: up to 25 feet using quality HDMI 2.0 cables. Cable quality matters; not all HDMI cables will reliably carry 4K 60 at this distance. Use HDMI cables up to 15 feet from an HDBaseT receiver to the display
• Resolution support: 4K 60 (4:2:0 internal processing), 1080p/60, 1080p/30, 1080i, 720p, 480p, but cannot support 480i
• Supported Input & Outputs Signals:
  • HDMI: up to 4K 60 with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 / 2.3. HDMI cards support 4:4:4 input/output signals; internal processing is 4:2:0. DisplayPort: up to 4K at 30 Hz
  • CATx: matched HDBaseT cards and extenders over shielded CAT6 (STP). Shorter-range combination: up to 130 feet at 4K 60 and 220 feet at 1080p. Longer-range combination: up to 220 feet at 4K 60 and 330 feet at 1080p. LITE receivers output 4K 60 4:2:0. AEL receivers convert the processed signal back to 4:4:4; this does not restore the original chroma detail
• Control: TCP/IP, RS232 and front buttons
• Power Supply: 100 to 240VAC, 50-60Hz
• Operating Temperature: -10闁 to 50闁

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

Q: How many Preset scenes can I Save and Recall?
A: 40.

Q: What are the HDCP options?
A: The HDMI cards support HDCP 2.3 with backward compatibility, including HDCP 2.2. Protected content requires HDCP-compatible receivers and displays.

1. HDCP compatibility:
2. Non-HDCP source to a HDCP compliant TV
3. HDCP-protected sources require an HDCP-compatible display and signal path

Q: What is your test procedure?
A: Our testing procedure is:

1. Assembling: Production line self-testing (Basic Functions)
2. Initial Testing: Includes every card, control software and front panel front buttons
3. 24 Hours Aging: Gao Sheng Standard Aging Room
4. Final testing: All Functions
5. QC final Inspection: Sticker, serial number, etc
6. Packing: Pack and ship

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 systems on at the same time (if one's down, it can move to the other, 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?
A: 18x18: 4U - 482 x 390 x 178mm - 18.97 x 15.35 x 7.01 inches (L/W/H)

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.

Q: How is HDBaseT technology different than others?
A: HDBaseT carries video over shielded CAT6 (STP) between matched cards and extenders. The shorter-range combination supports up to 130 feet at 4K 60 and 220 feet at 1080p. The longer-range combination supports up to 220 feet at 4K 60 and 330 feet at 1080p.

HDBaseT is optimized for video applications and can connect all HDBaseT enabled home entertainment devices. Also, HDBaseT technology has the capacity to deliver double the resolution available today to future 2K and 4K formats. Other existing solutions also require a specific cable and/or a new proprietary connector while HDBaseT utilizes the existing Ethernet infrastructure.

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.
• Keep shielded CAT6 (STP) runs within the selected card and extender rating: 130 or 220 feet at 4K 60, and 220 or 330 feet at 1080p, respectively.
• Please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B standards when terminating network cables in the field.
• Shielded CAT6 (STP) with metal RJ-45 connectors are recommended to safeguard against random video flashes caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The below resolvable picture is for our larger 36x36 chassis, not this smaller 18x18 chassis, but shows the font and back which is similar.

Below is a video of the WolfPack 9x9 card cage model showing the fast switching speed and its features. The larger card cage models will operate exactly the same but will allow more input and output cards.
