HDTV Supply's WolfPack™ 3x8 DVI Matrix Switcher is a preconfigured DVI video and separate audio modular DVI matrix Switcher. The 9x9 chassis back plane allows DVI 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. Since you are only using 3-DVI inputs and 8-DVI outputs with this 3x8 DVI Matrix Switcher you can add more DVI inputs and DVI outputs in the field.
24/7/365 OPERATION: The 3x8 DVI Matrix Switcher is made up of slide-in DVI cards so the matrix is very 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. You can control the WolfPack™ 3x8 DVI Matrix Switcher via front buttons, WEB GUI control, or the RS-232 serial port. The matrix does not have IR nor a remote control but can be controlled with its iOS and Android app.
The core of the 3x8 DVI Matrix Switcher consists of an 9x9 Modular Matrix chassis and its highly configurable backplane that supports 9 input cards and 9 output cards. The 3x8 DVI Matrix Switcher is HDCP 1.4 compliant.
Separate Embedded Audio In and De-embedded Audio Out: The DVI matrix allows you to display video with separate audio coming from another audio source as it supports embedding the audio on the DVI input cards 3.5mm audio connector and then de-embedding the audio on the DVI output cards 3.5mm audio.
Universal Input and Output cards. The matrix is also supplied with universal adapters for each DVI input and DVI output that converts the DVI connector to HDMI, VGA, composite video and component video.
Hardware Scaling via DIP Switches on both in and out cards: The 8-pin DIP switch on the cards are for the manual scaling up/down. Each DVI card has a 8-pin DIP switch to select multiple resolution settings to conform to your DVI source devices and the DVI destination devices. See above FAQ.

These modular DVI 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 x1&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 "Failed" 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.
