What Is the WolfPack 4K60 HDMI Matrix Switch over CAT6?

The WolfPack™ 4K@60Hz Modular HDMI Matrix Switcher Chassis is a professional-grade, rack-mountable AV distribution system engineered by HDTV Supply for demanding multi-source, multi-display installations. Built on a scalable 8×8 backplane architecture, this chassis accepts up to two slide-in input cards and two slide-in output cards — each providing four ports — delivering a fully configurable 8-input by 8-output routing matrix in a compact 4U rack footprint. Configurations available include 4x4, 4x8, 8x4, and 8x8, making it one of the most flexible modular matrix switchers on the market.

Unlike fixed-port matrix switches, this modular design allows integrators to mix and match HDMI input cards, HDMI output cards, and HDBaseT CAT6 extension cards within the same chassis — eliminating the need for external signal converters and enabling a fully customized AV distribution system tailored to any installation requirement.
