24×36 4K60 Modular Matrix Switcher with Built-In Video Wall
KanexPro FLEX-MF24X36 modular 24x36 matrix switcher delivers 4K60 18Gbps switching with built-in video wall, quad view, independent scaling, and CEC…
When 20 outputs aren’t enough but enterprise-class multi-format isn’t required, the FLEX-MF24X36 delivers the right scale at the right price. Three input and three output card slots provide 24 HDMI sources routed to 36 displays — all at 4K60 4:4:4, 18Gbps, with built-in video wall, quad view, and independent scaling that eliminate external processing hardware. HDMI and CAT cards in any mix. CAT extends 4K to 230ft. CEC zones displays. 7" touchscreen + RS-232 + TCP/IP + Web GUI. Same card ecosystem as the 16×20 and 24×60.
- Up to 24 HDMI 2.0 inputs and 36 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 bezel compensation; quad view displays four sources on one output
- 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 screens
- 7" front-panel touchscreen for on-site switching, preset recall, and system monitoring
- RS-232, TCP/IP, and Web GUI control for Crestron, Control4, Savant, and other platform integration

Questions
- What video standard, HDCP compliance, and bandwidth does the FLEX-MF24X36 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-MF24X36 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 command syntax to route a single input to an output?
- Send s in x av out y! where x is the input (1-24) and y is the output (0-36, 0=all). For example, sending input 1 to output 2 confirms with feedback 'input 1 -> output 2'.
- How is CEC display control sent to an output on the FLEX-MF24X36?
- Send s cec hdmi out y on! or s cec hdmi out y off! to power a display on or off through output y (0=all). Custom CEC commands can be sent with s cec send out y cmd xx xx!, for example s cec send out 0 cmd ef 82 10 00!.
- What are the dimensions, weight, and power requirements of the FLEX-MF24X36?
- 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.
- What are the environmental operating limits for the FLEX-MF24X36?
- Operating temperature is 32 to 104 F (0 to 40 C), humidity is 10 to 90% RH non-condensing, and ESD protection is rated at plus/minus 8kV air-gap discharge and plus/minus 4kV contact discharge.
- 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-MF24X36 for a large venue installation?
- It routes up to 24 sources to as many as 36 outputs from a single chassis with built-in video wall, quad view, and CEC-based zone power control, targeting large-venue AV installations that would otherwise need separate processing hardware.
- What does the FLEX-MF24X36 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.
