16×20 4K60 Modular Matrix Switcher with Built-In Video Wall
KanexPro FLEX-MF16X20 modular 16x20 matrix switcher delivers 4K60 18Gbps switching with built-in video wall, quad view, independent scaling, and CEC…
Sixteen cable boxes in. Twenty TVs out. One chassis that handles video wall, quad view, and independent scaling without a single external processor. The FLEX-MF16X20 is a modular 4K60 matrix switcher built for bars, restaurants, hotels, and multi-zone venues where every screen needs to show the right source at the right resolution — controlled from a 7" touchscreen at the bar or remotely via Web GUI. HDMI 2.0, 18Gbps, HDCP 2.2. Hot-swappable HDMI and CAT cards. CAT extends 4K to 230ft (70m). CEC powers displays on/off by zone. RS-232, TCP/IP, Web GUI for Crestron/Control4 integration.
- Up to 16 HDMI 2.0 inputs and 20 outputs via hot-swappable modular cards (HDMI, CAT, DisplayPort)
- 4K/UHD 60Hz at 18Gbps with full HDCP 2.2 and HDR support
- Built-in video wall up to 4×3 (12 displays) with configurable layouts and bezel compensation
- Quad view mode displays four sources on a single output in multiple layout options
- Independent output scaling adjusts resolution per channel for mixed-display environments
- CAT output extends 4K signals up to 230ft (70m) via single cable using FLEX-CATRX receivers
- CEC display control for zone-based power management across connected screens
- 7" front-panel touchscreen for on-site switching, preset recall, and system monitoring
- RS-232, TCP/IP, and Web GUI control for integration with Crestron, Control4, Savant, and other platforms

Questions
- What video standard, HDCP compliance, and bandwidth does the FLEX-MF16X20 support?
- The chassis is HDMI 2.0 compliant with HDCP 1.x and HDCP 2.2 support, routing signals at up to 18Gbps and resolutions up to 3840x2160 60Hz 4:4:4 (8-bit), with 8, 10, or 12 bits per color and HDR support.
- What video wall and quad view capability does the FLEX-MF16X20 offer?
- Built-in video wall supports layouts up to 4x3 (12 displays) across 30 independent zones with bezel compensation, and quad view offers 3 layout options that display four sources on a single output, configurable per output.
- What is the RS-232/TCP-IP command syntax for creating a video wall?
- Use the syntax s wall v set hdiv w vdiv x time y out z! where v is the wall number (1-30), w is horizontal divisions (1-4), x is vertical divisions (1-3), y is the output resolution timing index (2-16), and z is the starting output port, which must begin at a card's 1st, 5th, or 9th port. Example: s
- How do I set up quad view via command syntax?
- Use s quad on layer x time y out z! where x is the layout (1-3), y is the output resolution timing index (2-16), and z is the starting output port (must be a card's 1st, 5th, or 9th port). Example: s quad on layer 1 time 9 out 1! sets layout 1 at 1080p60 starting from output 1. To turn it off, send
- What are the dimensions, weight, and power requirements of the FLEX-MF16X20?
- The chassis measures 17.5 x 14 x 17.7 in (445 x 355 x 450mm), weighs 46 lbs (21 kg), and runs on 100-240VAC 50/60Hz.
- Where are the input and output card slots located on the FLEX-MF16X20?
- Both card banks are on the rear panel: the input card slots are labeled for ports 1-8 and 9-16, and the output card slots are labeled for ports 1-12 and 13-20, alongside the LAN, RS-232, firmware, and power switch on the MCU board.
- One or more outputs show no video. What should I check?
- Verify the output card is fully seated, confirm the source is active with the input card LEDs showing signal, and for CAT outputs confirm the FLEX-CATRX receiver is powered and connected. Try setting the EDID to match the display's native resolution.
- The video wall shows incorrect tiling. How do I fix it?
- Verify the hdiv and vdiv parameters match your physical display layout, confirm the starting output port begins at a card's 1st, 5th, or 9th port, and use the bezel compensation commands to correct alignment.
- Why choose the FLEX-MF16X20 for a sports bar or similar multi-screen venue?
- It is built to route up to 16 sources across as many as 20 screens with built-in video wall and quad view processing, CEC-based zone power control, and 7 inch touchscreen switching, all from a single chassis.
- What does the FLEX-MF16X20 eliminate from a typical AV rack?
- It removes the need for separate video wall processors, scalers, and multi-view units by handling video wall layouts, quad view, and independent per-output scaling internally.
