A: The WolfPack 1080p 14x30 HDMI Over LAN/IP Matrix Switcher is a network-based AV distribution system designed to route 14 HDMI sources to 30 displays. It distributes 1080p video and audio through a Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure using HDMI-over-LAN transmitters and receivers.

The 14x30 configuration is intended for larger multi-display installations where different screens may need different sources. The system provides flexible matrix routing, real-time tablet preview, video-wall processing, PoE endpoints, VLAN capability, and scalable network architecture.

A: The 14x30 model provides 14 HDMI inputs and 30 HDMI outputs. This gives the system 14 source connections and 30 display endpoints that can be independently managed through the AV-over-IP network.

The matrix architecture allows one source to be routed to one display, multiple displays, or all outputs, while different sources can be assigned to different displays. This is useful for large sports bars, clubs, commercial AV installations, campuses, and multi-room systems.

A: The WolfPack HDMI-over-LAN platform can transmit compatible 1080p video up to approximately 450 feet over CAT6/7 cabling. Each transmitter and receiver uses the Ethernet infrastructure to carry the AV signal between source and display locations.

PoE-compatible endpoints can receive power through the network connection, helping simplify installations. For larger facilities, compatible Ethernet switches can also be cascaded and fiber links can be used between network segments.

A: The transmitter and receiver platform supports video formats up to 1920×1080p at 60 Hz, along with lower computer and video resolutions. Supported formats include 720p and common 1080p frame rates from 24 Hz through 60 Hz.

The system also supports automatic scaling on applicable versions, allowing source formats to be adapted for connected displays. The exact supported resolution should be checked against the transmitter, receiver, source, and display being installed.

A: Yes. The matrix supports any-input-to-any-output routing in any combination. An operator can send a source to a single display, multiple displays, or all displays while independently assigning other sources to other outputs.

Routing can be managed using iPad and Android apps and Windows PC software. Sources and displays can also be renamed, and presets can be saved and recalled to make large installations easier to operate.

A: Yes. A major feature is wireless real-time video preview on an iPad. The operator can view live source video before deciding which source should be routed to a particular display.

This is useful in systems with many sources because the operator can visually identify content rather than relying only on source labels. Wireless tablet control requires a compatible Wi-Fi router connected to the same system network.

A: Yes. The WolfPack AV-over-IP platform includes video-wall processing in addition to standard matrix switching. Multiple displays can be combined into coordinated video-wall layouts based on the available outputs.

Applicable systems support flexible video-wall configurations, including layouts up to 7×7 on the platform. Video-wall processing can be useful for sports venues, digital signage, command centers, entertainment spaces, and other large-display applications.

A: Yes. The system uses a Gigabit Ethernet network and supports PoE transmitters and receivers. Power and AV-over-IP traffic can be carried through the network connection to compatible endpoints.

A managed Gigabit PoE Ethernet switch is recommended for stable operation. The network can support copper CAT6/7 connections and, on supported configurations, fiber interfaces for larger buildings or longer interconnects.

A: The WolfPack platform is designed for low-latency AV distribution. Applicable configurations specify approximately 80 ms latency and seamless four-frame switching around 60 ms, supporting fast source changes for live AV applications.

The transmitter and receiver platform also provides low-latency and high-quality modes on applicable versions, with approximately 50 ms in low-latency mode and approximately 250 ms in high-quality mode. Actual performance depends on the selected mode and network conditions.

A: The system supports iPad, Android, and Windows control, source/display naming, EDID preset and learning, DHCP plug-and-play operation, video-wall configuration, and network-based management. Applicable systems also support IP/serial or API control for third-party integration.

VLAN support allows AV traffic to be isolated from other network traffic, while switch cascading allows larger installations to operate as one expanded matrix. The platform is also field-upgradeable and scalable on applicable configurations, helping accommodate future expansion.
