The WolfPack™ HDMI Transmitter Over IP delivers 1080p HDMI video/audio signals up to 100 meters (330 feet) using a single CAT-5e/6 cable and is POE-enabled. It utilizes H.264 or H.265 technology with internal JPEG compression for optimal digital signal transmission. The system supports video walls up to 16x16 (256 TVs) and routes video, audio, and RS232 signals together or separately.

A single CAT6/7 cable extends HDMI sources like laptops and DVD players to displays up to 330 feet away. The receiver's equalization control switch enhances signal quality, making it a cost-effective solution for HDCP-compliant devices. The transmitter uses an RJ-45 connector, while the receiver equalizes the TMDS multimedia data.

Frequently
Reasons To Buy an HDTV Supply WolfPack Product

Control

Q: This product has CEC, what is CEC?

A: This product features CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allowing your HDTV's remote to manage up to ten devices that are connected via HDMI (such as Blu-ray Disc players or home theater receivers) with no special programming needed. For example, you can use your remote to turn on your TV, your player, and your receiver at the same time, and adjust the system volume with one button. All devices must support CEC, though.

Most major TV manufacturers now support CEC, and an HDTV with HDMI 1.3 will likely have the technology. Manufacturers call it by different names; LG Electronics, for instance, calls its implementation SimpleLink, whereas Toshiba calls its version CE-Link. Interoperability isn't mandatory, so some manufacturers limit control to their own products; Sony, for one, allows only Sony-to-Sony communication.

NOTE: All of these HDMI Matrix Switchers Over LAN systems, unless otherwise noted, require a dedicated HDMI video system with its own Ethernet switch and not attached to your existing LAN system due to the unknown bandwidth impact on the HDMI video from your network. The design needs to meet these specs:
  1. One Dedicated VLAN for the below devices
  2. No other network appliances in the VLAN
  3. Not the same as an existing "Multicast VLAN"
  4. Unique subnet
  5. No other network appliances in the subnet
Using all of the below systems in a single dedicated VLAN to keep them from interfering with the rest of your VLAN. With all devices in a single VLAN, switching sources involves modifying the IP of the Receiver rather than actively manipulating the VLAN configuration of the managed switch. See hundreds below if you can create a dedicated HDMI Video system over a VLAN based upon the above criteria.

Can the Ethernet switches be cascaded and still act as a matrix?
A: Yes. The network switches can be cascaded and still act as a large matrix.

Q: Is it a WEB GUI control or PC software
A: It is a PC control software-based system for the configurations like CEC settings, resolution, image rotating, etc Q: How do you setup the video wall and can it support a 16x16 video wall 256 TVs?
A: For the video wall set up, it can done it in seconds using the iPad app. The video wall maximum can up to 16x16 with 256 TVs Q: How do you change the IP and MAC address of the transmitters and receivers?
A: You can set up the IP and MAC on the iPad app or PC control software,but we recommend using the automatic IP and MAC address, so it can support plug and play. Q: The Transmitters and Receivers both have Audio out on the receiver can the audio be matrixed such as Receiver A sends audio out to Receiver B, if using the audio out?
A: The audio out on both the RX and TX are the corresponding audio with the video so its audio function is only an extract function from the video and is not able to do as an audio matrix. Q: On the IP control box there are (2) LAN ports, would that be for 2 separate LANs?
A: We will only need to use the LAN 1 for the controlling & settings and for the broadcast version:

  • LAN1 (AV/POE): To connect with the network switch use the PC control software to control this system
  • LAN2 (C): To connect with the network switch this is used for a 3rd party to use the IP control this system

Q: What is it a distance with POE in and out?
A: With the POE, the input can up to 100m (330 ft) at 1080p@60Hz and the output also is 100m (330 ft) Q: What is the distance without POE using the AC adapters in and out?
A: It is also the same distance as the POE distance as in and out both are 100m (330 ft) Q: What type of UTP cable do you recommend?
A: As it's using for the video signal transmission we recommend using the STP 868B cable Q: Can you use CAT6 - 5E - 6 and 7 and is there a difference in length of cables?
A: We did the tests here with the CAT6/CAT6/Cat6/Cat7 cable and the CAT6 and CAT7 are the best and can reach a distance of 150m with POE Q: Please give us an explanation of when the large and small streaming resolutions would be used?
A: The highest resolution can up to 1080P@60Hz, the lowest resolution is 680x480@60Hz but that resolution can't support the IP camera decoding Q: When do you use the control box?
A: There are 2 situations will need to use the control box:

  1. When using the broadcast version (unlimited TX and RX)
  2. When needing to use a 3rd party to control this system (IP/ RS232)

What does the PC Configurator do?
A: The PC control software is mainly for the resolutions, CEC, RS232, image rotating and RX/TX IP settings Q: Does the iPad control require a wireless router?
A: Yes, it will need a WIFI router connected in the same system Q: In the diagram in the manual it shows the IP control box with only an Internet connection, does a PC plug into it?
A: Yes, the control PC uses a LAN cable connected to the same network switch Q: You also recommend Managed POE switches, correct?
A: We tested on several POE network switches and so far both of the managed POE or the non-managed POE network are working well. But the managed network switch is more stable and it's fanless which is quieter.

What Is a WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher?

A WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher is a single-chassis device that routes any HDMI source — such as a cable box, satellite receiver, streaming player, or computer — to any TV or display in a building, simultaneously and independently. Unlike an HDMI splitter (which sends one source to many screens) or a simple HDMI switch (which selects one source for one screen), a matrix switcher lets you show a different channel on every TV at the same time. HDTV Supply has sold WolfPack fixed matrix switchers to sports bars, restaurants, hotels, churches, schools, and commercial AV integrators since 2000.

Fixed vs. Modular: Which Do You Need?

WolfPack comes in two families: Fixed and Modular. Fixed matrix switchers have a set number of inputs and outputs built into one box — for example, 4 inputs × 4 outputs (4×4) or 8 inputs × 8 outputs (8×8). They are plug-and-play, rack-mountable, and the right choice when your input/output count won't change. Modular matrix switchers use a chassis with swappable I/O cards, scaling from a few ports up to 80×80 or beyond. If you know exactly how many sources and screens you need today, a fixed unit is typically lower cost and simpler to deploy.

Available Fixed WolfPack Configurations

HDTV Supply offers WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers in the following sizes:

  • 4×2 — 4 sources to 2 displays
  • 4×4 — 4 sources to 4 displays
  • 8×8 — 8 sources to 8 displays
  • 8×9 — 8 sources to 9 displays
  • 16×16 — 16 sources to 16 displays
  • 16×32 via CAT6 — extends signal up to 450 feet over CAT6 cable

Select models include built-in video wall processing, multiview, and picture-in-picture (PIP) — allowing two or more sources to display on a single screen simultaneously.

Control Options for Fixed Matrix Switchers

Every WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switcher supports multiple control methods so you can integrate it into any environment:

  • Front-panel buttons — manual source switching directly on the unit
  • IR remote control — included with most models
  • RS-232 serial control — for integration with Crestron, Control4, AMX, and similar systems
  • TCP/IP (LAN) control — send hex commands over your network from any device
  • Web GUI — browser-based interface for switching without additional software
  • Free iOS and Android apps — available for select WolfPack models

For RS-232 hex command strings and TCP/IP control protocols, see our WolfPack HEX Code Reference and TCP/IP Control Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fixed HDMI matrix switcher and a modular HDMI matrix switcher?

A fixed HDMI matrix switcher has a set number of HDMI inputs and outputs built into a single unit — for example, 8 inputs and 8 outputs. A modular matrix switcher uses a chassis with interchangeable I/O cards, so you can configure it for many different port counts and expand it later. Fixed units are simpler and more affordable; modular units offer flexibility for larger or changing installations.

Can a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher show different channels on different TVs at the same time?

Yes. A matrix switcher routes any input to any output independently. In an 8×8 configuration, all 8 displays can show 8 completely different sources simultaneously, or multiple displays can share the same source — in any combination you choose.

Can I control a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher from a Crestron or Control4 system?

Yes. WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers support RS-232 and TCP/IP control, which are standard integration protocols supported by Crestron, Control4, AMX, and other third-party control systems. HDTV Supply provides hex command strings and driver documentation to support custom integrations.

What resolution do WolfPack Fixed HDMI Matrix Switchers support?

Resolution support varies by model. WolfPack fixed matrix switchers are available in 1080p (Full HD) and 4K 30Hz configurations. Select 4K models also support HDR and HDCP 2.2. Always check the individual product specification sheet for confirmed resolution, color depth, and HDCP version.

How far can I run HDMI from a WolfPack fixed matrix switcher?

Standard HDMI outputs on fixed matrix switchers support runs up to approximately 25–50 feet depending on cable quality and resolution. The WolfPack 16×32 model transmits over CAT6 cabling for distances up to 450 feet per run. For longer distances with other fixed models, HDMI extenders can be added at each display.

What is the best HDMI matrix switcher for a sports bar?

For sports bars with up to 16 TVs, a WolfPack Fixed 16×16 HDMI Matrix Switcher is a popular choice — it handles 16 independent sources (cable boxes, satellite receivers, streaming devices) and routes any of them to any TV. For larger venues with 20–80+ TVs, HDTV Supply's WolfPack Modular Matrix Switchers or AV Over IP systems are typically the better fit. Call 833-WOLFPACK (833-965-3722) for a free consultation.
