Allonis has partnered with HDTVSupply in supporting their HDBaseT matrix distribution hardware.
With the HDBaseT hardware one can build a huge network of video source devices feeding a virtually unlimited number of outputs (TVs).
The system also supports video wall configurations.
Supports:
HDTVFit (no video wall support. Also leave username / password blank) and HDBaseT (with or without video wall) and others.
Required:
One input card for each HDMI source device
One HDBaseT (Cat6) output card for each HDMI output device
One HDBaseT receiver per TV / Display
At least one of the Video Matrix's network ports connected to the "Control Network" and assigned a Static (doesn't change) IP address that is entered on Allonis's Configuration spreadsheet. The second NIC (if included) is a backup if the primary fails and is not needed for the system to work.

To switch a video wall to individual TVs:
AV|110~SetVideoWallMode~1~single
Managing the Video Network Switch network settings
Here is a YouTube Video on how to change the IP address on the WolfPac Video Matrix Switch

IP 2 - 192.168.1.80
EDID issues
If you have 2 HDMI output cards they can unplug one of those and plug it into HDMI input 2 and 4 and set the EDID
Quick rundown
Unplug the HDMI output to the TV that is connected to the HDMI output
Plug it into Input 2 using the HDMI cable
Press the EDID button for a couple seconds
It will slow blink
Press the EDID button again for a few seconds let go and it should turn solid blue
Reconnect everything back up and test.
For the TV3 not getting any picture try swapping the CAT6 cable coming out of the HDBASET output card ( swap 3 and 4) see if he gets a picture
Last would be swap the receiver with a know working one for a test.
