Features

HDTV Supplys WolfPack™ 4K 8x16 (8x8x2) HDMI Matrix Switcher Over HDBaseT has simultaneous CAT5e/6/7 and HDMI outputs connects eight HDMI sources to sixteen displays. This matrix features eight HDMI outputs and each HDMI eight is mirrored to provide a CAT-Cable output which runs simultaneously. It supports the transmission of up to 4K video as well as supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.l CH, Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio.

NOTE 1: There are 2 version of this 4K WolfPack 8x16 (8x8x2) HDMI Matrix Switcher Over HDBaseT & HDCP 2.2. One has 8-HDbaseT extenders to 220 feet at 1080p and 115 feet at 4K and the other goes to 330 feet at 1080p and 175 feet at 4K.

Connect a HDBaseT Receiver to each of the CAT-Cable outputs to extend the HDMI signal for multi-room connectivity. It works with Blu-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game consoles that connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it via the supplied IR Remote Control, RS232, TCP/IP or by using the selection buttons on the front panel of the HDMI Matrix Switcher Over HDBaseT. This WolfPack ™ HDMI Matrix Switcher Over HDBaseT supports High Definition Audio and is 3D signal capable. Each HDMI and HDBaseT output is mirrored. It supports up to 16 different EDID configurations to support TVs of multiple resolutions. Its flexible control is through on-panel buttons, IR remote control, RS-232 or via Ethernet protocol.

NOTE 2: If both the CAT5/6 (RJ45)and the standard HDMI outputs are used, the number of total outputs would be up to 16. Each individual zone (example, VIDEO OUT 1) of the CAT5 and HDMI output would have the same picture, though. Think of it as an 8X8X2. Since the matrix switch also has 8-female HDMI outputs you can use these with the above optional stand alone HDMI extenders that have separate extended warranties if you have long distances to where your widescreens are located at. Those HDMI outputs do not support IR.

Q/A

Q: I have an Edid issue with my Mac Mini going to our Blackmagic ATEM 4K Broadcast Switcher.
A: I got it to work.....I went into the switcher, by using the software on your website and told the switcher to copy the EDID from output A. It came right up.....I have shut the system down a couple times and it still works.

Q: I understand the CATx outs support IR but how can I control the matrix from the "HDMI outs" in faraway rooms?
A: Use 3rd party RF remote controls as remote IR, via HDMI cabling, is not supported on the HDMI outs, only the CATx wiring.

Q: What is EDID and what is it used for?
A: Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions and features a re available. The source ca n then cater its output to send only resolutions and features that a re compatible with the attached device/display.

This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and a source device can only accept and can read one EDID from a connected device/display. Likewise, the source can only output one resolution for use by a connected device/display

Q: Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix?
A: The Matrix is complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require one EDID to read. EDID management is carefully handled by HDMI Matrix to provide a single EDID for each source to read.

Q: What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix?
A: First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one video/audio signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple devices/dis plays a re used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to use devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions/features. This will ensure that the single video/audio signal produced by the source device is accepted by all of the connected output devices/displays. The user has the option, through the EDID management window, to choose how the unit will manage the EDID from multiple HDMI devices/displays. Therefore the user has some control over the resolutions/features that the source devices will output. The HDMI Matrix for has a multiple EDID management modes that will control how the EDID information from multiple devices/displays are combined, ignored, and routed.
