Blackbird 4x4 HDMI Seamless Switching Matrix, supporting 2x2 Video Walls, Rackmountable

The Monoprice Blackbird™ 4x4 HDMI® Seamless Switching Matrix is an easy to use solution for distributing any of four connected HDMI sources to any of four HDMI displays, in any combination. It supports video resolutions to 1080p@60Hz and includes support for PC control via the RS232 port. The seamless switching feature eliminates virtually all of the switching delay, commonly found in most switch and matrix devices. A front panel button allows you to instantly switch between normal matrix mode and the video wall mode, which splits a single source into four parts for distribution to a 2x2 array of HDMI displays to create a single larger image.

Can you rotate or flip the TV image as to reduce the bezel size when putting 4 TVs together?

Wayne J on Dec 6, 2016

Does this manage EDID? How does it switch seamlessly so that the HDMI display and the connected component doesn't "reset" (causing a few seconds of the display going black) when the input is switched?

A shopper on Jan 31, 2017

BEST ANSWER: Sadly I have not seen any EDID settings on the actual product itself, nor using the web interface or via RS232 software.

Does it have an IR remote, is so an IR input jack or just a sensor? Where is the owners manual or install manual download?

If i have 4 directv boxes plugged into this unit, can i make any one of those boxes the source for the 4by4 tv wall setup. Can i assume this unit is easy to setup also?

A shopper on May 27, 2017

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. Yes, you would just select the desired input then press the video wall button on the front of the unit or the W button on the remote in the top right. The set up is very easy, the user manual has a diagram showing the setup for the video wall:

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for reaching out to us. This is a full fledged matrix. By definition, it will be able to do any combination of inputs and outputs based on your needs.

can I combine all four sources on one display? I have a 120" projector screen so would like to display up to 4 sources at the same time.

A shopper on Feb 10, 2017

BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your question. While this unit does have 2x2 video wall capability, having a setup as you have described will depend completely on whether your projector supports picture in picture from multiple sources. I hope this helps, and of course if you have any more questions feel free to contact us!

How can the image be adjusted, so it avoids the frame of the tvs? Text gets cutout as the image reads the frame of the tvs as screen also.

Mine doesn't work with an HDMI extender. Works great for local HDMI displays, and the extenders work great when connected directly to a source. However when I mix both this matrix switch and the extenders, I get audio and video for a few minutes, then the remote screen goes dark. Any chance this is a setting or firmware upgrade somewhere? Do I need a specific extender to make this work?

Paul R on Jul 14, 2017

Mine seems to not transmit audio over HDMI is this normal?

If you are looking this is probably the best cost to value out there for a matrix video wall setup.

This device did almost exactly what I had hoped it would, just an FYI for the rest of you it will only handle passing 2-channel audio. It will not pass anything higher than that. That being said it gets the job done with little lag and great picture. Make sure you have an option on your TV to adjust the screen up/down as I had green lines on the top edge.
