HDTV Supplys WolfPack™ 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher with Video Wall and 8-HDBaseT HDMI extenders over CAT6/6 is a preconfigured integrated HDMI video and HDMI audio modular HDMI matrix Switcher.
The 9x9 chassis back plane allows HDMI technologies 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. The internal Video Wall processor allows you to create custom video wall layouts via our easy to use WEB GUI.
The core of the Modular HDMI Matrix Routers consist of a 9x9 Modular Matrix chassis & its highly configurable backplane that supports 8 - input HDMI cards & 8 - HDBaseT (RJ45) connections and includes 8 - HDBaseT POE receivers that extends HDMI 220 feet over CAT6 with CAT6 preferred.
You can control the switch via our IOS & Android app, Control4, front buttons, WEB GUI control, or the RS-232 serial port. The matrix does not have IR nor a remote control. The WolfPack 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher with Video Wall is 1080p compliant. The matrix does not have IR nor a remote control but can be controlled with its iOS and Android app. The HDMI input card has built-in 8-pin DIP Switch for resolution adjustment and supports a 3.5mm audio embedded input.
HDTV Supplys implementation of the HDBaseT technology adds virtually zero latency to the HDMI audio & video signal, less than 7 microseconds (0.000007 sec) over 220 feet of CATx cable. At 100 feet you are talking about 3 microseconds (0.000003 sec).
This means for example, in a club, bar, church or auditorium, the speakers lips are always in synch with the video image on all the TVs & projectors 100's of feet away.

100ms Seamless HDMI Switching: This WolfPack™ Seamless 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher with Video Wall Processor delivers 100ms instantaneous video switching with full 1080p/60 video at each port. This high-performance engine processes HDMI signals by executing EDID hops & HDCP handshakes simultaneously at both the source input, the display outputs & scales the inputs for the best output resolution.
It sets the output clock timing & uses a frame buffer to retain the input signal information for the fastest output.
The Seamless 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher with Video Wall Processor allows switching between inputs via a clean video cut & frame-to-frame switching without glitches.
The WolfPacks HDMI Matrix Switcher advanced processor allows it to process live signals simultaneously which means it can seamlessly & instantly switch (~100ms or 0.1 second) between HDMI inputs & outputs.

These 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 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.

Q: What are the dimensions of the chassis?
A: 9x9: 2U - 482x390x88mm - 18.97x15.35x3.46 inches (L/W/H)
Q: Do you have any tips in the unlikely event the unit fails?
A: Turn it OFF and then disconnect the matrix from the AC power and all cables. Pull out each board from the rear and push back in. Plug all cables back in and turn it on.
Q: How is HDBaseT technology different than others?
A: Unlike other HD distribution technologies, HDBaseT is the only technology which enables CAT6/6/7 connectivity from 70 meters to 100 meters, depending upon the specific product, for uncompressed full HD multimedia content and up to 100 watts of charging power via a single cable.
HDBaseT is optimized for video applications and can connect all HDBaseT enabled home entertainment devices. Also, HDBaseT technology has the capacity to deliver double the resolution available today to future 2K and 4K formats. Other existing solutions also require a specific cable and/or a new proprietary connector while HDBaseT utilizes the existing Ethernet infrastructure. These WolfPack HDBaseT matrix systems have with (POC) Power Over Ethernet so you don't need AC adapters.
HDMI HDbaseT Extender Helpful Tips & Recommendations:
- Keep cables away from any equipment with an electromagnetic wave, e.g., mobile phone, microwave, radio equipment, fluorescent lamp, high voltage power lines, etc.
- CAT6/6 cables should not exceed 220 feet or (70m).
- Please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B standards when terminating network cables in the field.
- Shielded CAT6/6 with metal RJ-45 connectors are recommended to safeguard against random video flashes caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).
