Does this switch support WCG and HDR passthrough? There is no mention of it in the specs

Jaidev P on Nov 23, 2016

BEST ANSWER: Will pass HDR and WCG just fine. Compliant with both HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 it's rated at the full 18gbps Bandwidth.

Manny - Are you sure it will pass HDR? Is it HDMI 2.0a compliant (not just HDMI 2.0... the "a" version is necessary).

Is there somewhere to download the latest firmware or control via IP?

Shaun G on Jan 2, 2017

BEST ANSWER: I had to find the same product at another site. I am not allowed to include links here, so you can try to do a Google search. Try to search for wolfpack HDTVHDMB44. There should be a page for an identical product that has a software tab and a manual tab. The software tab as a link to Windows Control Software - Version 1.06

Good luck.

I was able to obtain the IP control software by contacting Monoprice support (number available on the Monoprice web site). The support person with which I spoke initially told me that the unit was not controllable via IP and it was only after I pressed the issue that I was e-mailed the IP software. It is important to note that the IP control is a PC-based application, not traditional IP control via any 3rd party application (Savant, Control4, etc). Good luck!

Does the unit support IR remote control extension from display to source if they are far apart?

A shopper on Jan 29, 2017

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. This unit will have an IR extender port that can be used should you require to use an extender. However, with no power to boost the IR signal. You may need to use a separate IR extender. If the IR signal is not boosted and you are using a very long cable the signal can degrade over the long run. I hope this helps.

Does the EDID Management also support the Display or only the Source? For example, if I have a 4K source input but a 1080p Display on one of the outputs, can I manage this with EDID?

BEST ANSWER: it appears to be only configurable on the input not the output

Does it allow multiple inputs to function at one time? Like, if my four sources are an Xbox One, PS4, Cable Box, and Blu-Ray player, can I have the Xbox on in the living room, while someone watches cable in the bedroom, and another person is playing the PS4 in another room?

A shopper on Mar 30, 2017

BEST ANSWER: Yes, the Blackbird 4K 4x4 HDMI Matrix switch does allow multiple inputs to function simultaneously. The unit will allow one input to many outputs and one input to one output simultaneously. In the scenario mentioned above, the four sources could be viewed simultaneously on the four outputs (one-to-one situation) or a single input (cable box, for example) could be viewed on all four outputs (one-to-many situation). Additionally, any combination of inputs can be "piped" to any combination of outputs (2 inputs to 2 outputs, 1 input to 3 outputs, etc).

Hi. Yes, it's truly a 4x4 matrix switcher. That means you can allocate any of 4 inputs to any of the 4 outputs. You'll just need to make sure you can transmit the signal to where you need it. Monoprice has a number of HDMI over Ethernet solutions that will work for extremely long runs. And make sure your solution is HDCP 2.2 compliant which gives you some degree of future-proofing when it comes to copy protection.

Yes, you can. Generally speaking, that's the difference between a "matrix" switch and other multi-input switches. I have a DirecTV DVR, Blu-Ray player, Roku & VCR (connected via composite/HDMI converter) connected to mine and both TVs (we only use 2 outputs) can watch different input devices at the same time.

Yes it will do that. You have input A, B, C and D. You will send A to 1, B to 2, C to 3, D to 4 and accomplish this. Only will be able to do up to 4 devices.

It is a matrix switcher. All 4 outputs are always active and each can be assigned a different input.

Is this supported by harmony hub?

Michael S on Jul 9, 2017

BEST ANSWER: I haven't seen this device in the list (the manufacturer Monoprice shows up, but this specific device does not). That said, Harmony remotes are programmable. But, it would be nice if Harmony was able to control this device, especially over IP (vs over IR).

Blackbird 4K 4x4 Matrix Switch

This unit performed as described with one exception. There was no documentation for RS232 control included with the unit. When technical support was contacted they emailed the commands with the admonition that they provided no support for RS232 control. When we attempted to control the unit with the supplied commands only one command worked. The IR codes, however, worked fine.

PROS: The matrix switcher worked fine and passed HDCP 2.2 video signal without a problem

CONS: No RS232 documentation provided with the unit, No technical support for RS232. And, the RS232 commands supplied by the tech did not work which is probably why they don't support it.

Worth the price

Works as it should .. wish there was better access to software or via an app (versus a windows file), but the unit works great for it's meant for - solid 4k to any end unit.

Could be the best HDMI 4k switch on the market

This thing does 4 in, 4 out, 4k at 60hz (!) and also HDCP 2.2. A monster of a switch. I've had very little issues with it, and at the very least require a simple power cycle of the switch (and even then it's most likely the fault of the device and not the switch).

One issue I have is the lcd display is partially not working. Not sure if that's an issue with this switch or all of them.

OK switch considering the price

The Blackbird 4K 4x4 HDMI Matrix, 18Gbps, YUV4:4:4, HDCP 2.2 does basic HDMI switching very well. The included remote control is simple to use.

I could not get the RS232 control to work with the code provided by Monoprice technical support. Another reviewer had the same issue. Monoprice technical support claims no ownership of supporting the RS232 information that they provide.

The IP control is based on a PC application and not true IP control.

If you want basic 4K HDMI switching, this is a good (not great) unit. For any automation or advanced switching, a higher-end unit will be better suited as the time, effort, and cost to make the Blackbird unit work with automation will outweigh the low cost.
