Does it support ARC ?

Does this matrix support Dolby Atmos audio?
Is there somewhere to download the latest firmware or control via IP?
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.

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: You would think the unit would scale the signal to whatever supports it... but it doesn't.

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

Will this switch allow you to send an input to multiple displays at once or just one display at a time?
BEST ANSWER: Multiple displays at one time... discovered this by freaking out my wife when I was playing Xbox out on the porch while she was in the house and I accidentally left the receiver in the playroom on Ghost Recon). She thought there were people in the house.

Has anyone had it lock out to where it doesn't power boot up?
BEST ANSWER: I have not had that experience. However, I have experienced other quirks. For example, after several hours of idleness (overnight for example), I cannot get my TiVo to display. Other inputs work fine, but not the TiVo. I have to reboot the switch to regain video. Support from Monoprice has been subpar for me. I'm disappointed, particularly considering the value of the item: no firmware upgrades, not much help with my "glitch".

With XBOX1 canXBOX see a 4k TV as 4K? (I have 4K 4X4 4K@30Hz and Xbox sees only a 1920X1080 display.) Is the 60Hz/greater bandwidth the fix?
how do you connect this to a receiver for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio? It should be by hdmi, but this suggests optical cable...

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.

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.

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.
