24×60 4K60 Modular Matrix Switcher with Built-In Video Wall
KanexPro FLEX-MF24X60 modular 24x60 matrix switcher delivers 4K60 18Gbps switching with built-in video wall, quad view, independent scaling, and CEC…
Sixty displays from one chassis. The FLEX-MF24X60 is the highest-output matrix in the standard FLEX line — purpose-built for convention centers, casino floors, large hotels, and campus-wide signage where output count matters more than input count. Five output card slots and three input slots route 24 4K60 sources to 60 screens with video wall, quad view, and independent scaling built in. Every output independently scaled. CAT cards carry 4K60 up to 165ft (50m) and 1080p up to 197ft (60m). CEC powers displays by zone. 7" touch + Web GUI + RS-232 + TCP/IP. Cards shared across all FLEX chassis sizes. Cards and receivers are sold separately: the chassis ships empty. A full 24×60 is 1× FLEX-MF24X60, 3× FLEX-HDMI8IN input cards, 5× output cards (FLEX-CAT12OUT for CAT displays or FLEX-HDMI12OUT for HDMI displays) and one FLEX-CATRX receiver per CAT display.
- Ships empty: add 3× FLEX-HDMI8IN, 5× FLEX-CAT12OUT or FLEX-HDMI12OUT, and one FLEX-CATRX per CAT display
- Up to 24 HDMI 2.0 inputs and 60 outputs on modular HDMI and CAT cards
- 4K/UHD 60Hz at 18Gbps with full HDCP 2.2 and HDR support
- Built-in video wall of up to 12 displays (1×12, 2×6, 3×4, 4×3, 6×2 or 12×1), up to 30 walls, with bezel compensation; quad view shows four sources on one output
- Independent output scaling adjusts resolution per channel for mixed-display environments
- CAT output carries 4K60 up to 165ft (50m) and 1080p up to 197ft (60m) over one cable to FLEX-CATRX receivers, powered over the cable
- CEC display control for zone-based power management across screens
- 7" front-panel touchscreen for on-site switching, preset recall, and system monitoring
- Crestron SIMPL modules to download (routing, video wall, quad view, EDID, presets), plus an RS-232 and TCP/IP ASCII command set and Web GUI for any other control system
- Control from RS-232 (115200, 8, N, 1), Telnet port 23 and control ports 5001 and 5002, one controller each: up to three control systems at once, and a change from one shows on all

Questions
- How are the input and output card slots configured on the FLEX-MF24X60?
- Per the chassis specification, the FLEX-MF24X60 provides 3 input card slots, each accepting an 8-port HDMI Type A card (FLEX-HDMI8IN), and 5 output card slots, each accepting a 12-port CAT card (FLEX-CAT12OUT) or HDMI card (FLEX-HDMI12OUT), matching its 24-input, 60-output rating.
- What video standard, HDCP compliance, and bandwidth does the FLEX-MF24X60 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.
- How is CEC display control sent to an output on the FLEX-MF24X60?
- 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!.
- Is there an alternative ASCII command format for third-party control systems?
- Yes, a Type B command API using a *255 prefix is available, for example *255CI001O012! connects input 1 to output 12, and *255PC02! recalls preset 2.
- What are the dimensions, weight, and power requirements of the FLEX-MF24X60?
- It runs on 100-240VAC 50/60Hz. The chassis dimensions and weight are being confirmed and will be added here; the figures shown earlier belonged to a larger frame.
- What are the environmental operating limits for the FLEX-MF24X60?
- 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.
- How do I reset the FLEX-MF24X60 to KanexPro defaults?
- Send s reset! via RS-232 or TCP/IP and the matrix will reinitialize with KanexPro default settings.
- I cannot access the Web GUI. What should I do?
- Read the matrix's IP address on the touch panel under System Info > LAN, put your PC on the same subnet, connect to the LAN port on the MCU board, and sign in with the Admin account.
- What does the FLEX-MF24X60 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.
- What kind of installation is the FLEX-MF24X60 built for?
- As the maximum-output chassis in the FLEX line, it targets large-venue distribution where a high output count is needed from 24 sources, with built-in video wall, quad view, and CEC-based zone power control.
