This WolfPack™ 1080p 4-Port Universal Video Input Card is a 1080p compliant, 1-slot input card designed to work with our WolfPack Matrix Switchers. The 4-Port Universal Video Input Card is used with the matrix for true plug-and- play cross-point switching from any 4-Port Universal Video input to any combination of outputs. It has a 4-DVI-I ports so with the different adapters (HDMI-DVI, VGA-DVI, CVBS/YPBPR-DVI) you can have HDMI, VGA, YPBPR/CVBS input sources or use a DVI cable directly.
By having 4-port slide in cards 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. This 4-Port Universal Video Input Card is used with HDTV Supplys family of 80x80 and 160x160 WolfPack™ modular matrix switchers.
SEAMLESS SWITCHING: This card is used in our WolfPack™ Modular Matrix Switchers can be configured with instantaneous video switching which delivers full 1080p/60 video powered by our WolfPack engine implemented at each output port. This high-performance engine processes 4-Port Universal Video signals by executing EDID hops and HDCP handshakes simultaneously at both the source input and the display outputs and scaling inputs for the best output resolution while setting the output clock timing and using a frame buffer to retain the input signal information for the fastest output.
4-Port Universal Video Input Card Feature:
- Supports one (1) 4-Port Universal Video Input
- 4-Embedded Audio Inputs
- 4-Inputs of CVBS, YPbPr, VGA, DVI & HDMI w/adapters
- Supports 1080p resolutions
- Seamless switching speed of 100ms (0.1 sec)
- Controllable via the matrices Color Touchscreen, front panel buttons, RS232, WEB GUI and iOS/Android App
- No latency
- Built-in EDID management
- Plug & play
The WolfPack™ Modular HDMI Matrix Router allows switching between inputs with a clean video cut (frame-to-frame switching with no glitches). The WolfPack™ Modular HDMI Matrix Routers advanced processor allows it to process live signals simultaneously which means it can seamlessly and instantly switch (~100ms) between HDMI inputs and outputs. Most non-seamless matrix switchers require a delay of several seconds before they can switch between devices but with this WolfPack family that wait time is completely eliminated
NOTE: Do not combine or use our 4K/60 cards with this 1080p 4-Port Universal Video card in the same matrix chassis. These 4-Port Universal Video cards are designed to work only on 1080p based systems delivering pure 1080p resolutions and cannot be combined with any 4K/60 card HDMI Matrix system.

Separate Embedded Audio In and De-embedded Audio Out: The 4-Port Universal Video Input Card allows you to display video with separate audio coming from another audio source as it supports embedding the audio on the input cards 3.5mm audio connector and then de-embedding the audio on the companion output cards 3.5mm audio.
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 HDMI card has a 8-pin DIP switch to select multiple resolution settings to conform to your HDMI source devices and the HDMI destination devices.
When we work on the AV projects, there are always uncertainties, especially come to the source types, display interfaces and also think about the system upgrading in the future. So how could we at least do something to save the costs, improve the possibilities for the easy/quick upgrading?
HDTV Supplys R&D department has developed this MAV card to not only solve the different signals input, but also with many different unique features like 3.5mm audio embedds on the input card and de-embedds on the output cards, resolution adjustment via the 8-pin DIP switch.
What is a MAV card? It's has a 4-DVI-I ports, so with the different adapters (HDMI-DVI, VGA-DVI, CVBS/YPBPR-DVI) so you can have HDMI, VGA, YPBPR/CVBS sources to input or you can use the DVI signal/TV and an DVI cable directly.

DirecTV Controller
This card used with our modular 4-Port Universal Video 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 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:
- 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.
