This WolfPack™ 4K/60 Seamless HDMI Input Card is a 4K/60 4:4:4 compliant, 1-port input card designed to work with our WolfPack Matrix Switchers. The 4K/60 HDMI Input Card provides HDR resolutions including 4K/60, 4K/30 & up to 48-bit Deep Color at 1080p/60. The 4K/60 HDMI Input Card is used with the matrix for true plug-and-play cross-point switching from any HDMI input to any combination of outputs. The card has a 3.5mm connector for an embedded stereo audio input & when used with its companion 4K/60 Seamless HDMI Output Card with a similar 3.5mm output connector can de-embed the stereo audio from that card. This L/R audio embedder will allow the use of outboard audio amplifiers when used with the output card.
By having 1-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 4K/60 HDMI Input Card is used in our HDTV Supply line of 9x9, 18x18 and 36x36 modular matrix switchers that feature one-slot card cages using 9, 18 or 36 of these one-port HDMI Input cards depending upon your system needs. It supports 18.2 Gbps of data throughput and a 600 MHz TMDS Clock frequency which is the highest specified under the HDMI 2.0 standard.
Separate Embedded Audio In and De-embedded Audio Out: The HDMI Matrix Switcher Card allows you to display video with separate audio coming from another audio source as it supports embedding the audio on the HDMI input cards 3.5mm audio connector and then de-embedding the audio on the HDMI output cards 3.5mm audio.

SwiftSwitch™ SEAMLESS SWITCHING: This card used in our WolfPack™ Modular HDMI Matrix Switchers can be configured with instantaneous video switching which delivers full 4K/60 video powered by our WolfPack engine implemented at each output port. This high-performance engine processes HDMI 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.
This card used with 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 1080p based SDI, VGA or DVI cards with this 4K/60 HDMI card & our 4K/60 HDBaseT cards in the same matrix chassis. These 4K cards are designed to work only on 4K/60 based system delivering pure 4K/60 resolutions and cannot be combined with any analog, 4K/30 or 1080p card system.

Reasons To Buy an HDTV Supply WolfPack Product
Control
When one is designing an HDMI Matrix Switch the most important initial specification is the number of inputs and outputs you will need in your facility. The next, and often forgotten, is how the user wants to control those inputs and outputs. HDTV Supply has your back when you're buying one of our WolfPack Family of Modular Matrix Switchers as we have dozens of way to control the inputs and outputs and are shown at Controlling WolfPack Modular Matrix Systems, as well as below:- Remote Keypad for WolfPack Matrix Systems

This card used in our modular HDMI 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 8x1&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 an "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.
