INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
HD44CC5 HD44C
High Definition Video Matrix Switcher,
Coaxial and CAT5
High Definition Video Matrix Switcher,
Coaxial Only
DESCRIPTION
The HD44CC5 four-source, four-zone high-definition matrix switcher has component video and
S/PDIF digital audio inputs for each source. All four zone outputs have component video output and
S/PDIF audio output for economical local distribution up to 250’, as well as a RJ45 output for
transmission of the video and digital audio signal up to 1000’ to the HDRXSG01 receiver located in
the zone. Both coaxial component video output and CAT5 output are active simultaneously, making it
possible to distribute four sources to eight outputs at the same time.
The HD44C has the same great features as the HD44CC5 without the CAT5 output. The HD44C is
ideal for installations requiring local switching and distribution up to 250’.
The HD44CC5 and HD44C unit is expandable up to 16 zones.

DETAIL OVERVIEW
[1] SOURCE LOOP-THROUGH CONNECTION
The source inputs are buffered to provide an output at the same levels, assuming a 75-ohm
termination is on the output. Use these connections for HD44 expansion systems. The buffers are an
active circuit. The HD44 must be powered on for an active connection.
[2] SOURCE INPUTS
Gold-plated RCA jacks for connection from the output of the source. Color coordinated to match all
HD source components.

[3] IR RECEIVER
The rear panel IR receiver is a 3.5mm Stereo jack that is compatible with all Xantech IR receivers,
such as the 291-10. Switch 4 must be in the OFF position to use this jack.

The 3.5mm Mono jack is an emitter port. The IR signal is connected to the IR Receiver. A Xantech
283M emitter can be connected to this port.

SLEEVE GROUND
The 2-Pin WECO screw terminal is an IR port. The IR signal is connected to the IR Receiver. The
WECO screw terminal allows easy installation to a typical Xantech IR connecting block.

Standard IEC 3-Conductor AC Line Cord Receptacle for plug-in of a 3-conducator power line cord. Be
sure to note if the power receptacle is domestic (120VAC type) or international (240VAC type).
[7] RS232 EXPANSION
The HD44C and HD44CC5 can be expanded into a larger system. By using any combination of the
HD44C and HD44CC5 (up to 8 systems), a larger High-Definition distribution system can be created.
For instance, two HD44C systems can be combined to create a much larger 4 source input to 8 zone
output. The two HD44C systems must have its own unique address (see ADDRESS (DIP SWITCH)
section). The included RS232 expansion cable allows a single RS232 control port to be used to
command the entire system. The expansion cable is connected between the DB9 (5) and 3.5mm
stereo mini jack (7).

[9] CAT5 ZONE OUTPUT
Output connection to the HDRXSG01 receiver module. Uses standard CAT5 cable. Be sure to verify
CAT5 wiring connection is correct before installation.
[10] COAXIAL ZONE OUTPUT
Gold-plated RCA jacks for connection to an HD monitor. Color coordinated to match all HD type
products.
The CAT5 and coaxial output can be used at the same time.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
After connecting the CAT5 cable to the receiver (HDRXSG01), the
power supply to the receiver should be unplugged for a few seconds
and then reconnected. This allows the receiver to go through the full
process of line length and line quality self-calibration.
As an alternate process to this procedure, the power may be cycled
off for a few seconds and reapplied to accomplish the same full self-
calibration process.
If for some reason the system losses power at the receiving end
(HDRXSG01), the transmitting end (HD44CC5), or both ends, the full
self-calibration process will automatically occur.

QUICK INSTALLATION: HD44CC5 and HDRXSG01
[1] Connect the High-Definition Source to the HD44CC5 or HDTXSG01. Figure 1 below shows a
HD44CC5 (video matrix transmitter) connected to the HDRXSG01 (receiver).
[2] Using CAT5 cable, connect the HD44CC5 zone output or the output from the HDTXSG01 to the
HDRXSG01. Connect power to the HD44CC5 first. Then connect power to the HDRXSG01.
[3] On the HD44CC5, set the source to zone to enable the HDRXSG01 from the connected High-
Definition source. See HD44CC5 manual on how to use RS232 and IR RC68+ controls.
[4] Installation Complete! No adjustments needed!

ADVANCE INSTALLATION
FIGURE 2: Below shows a diagram for a sports bar application. With the equipment rack located near
or behind the bar area, the coaxial outputs can be used for local HD monitors. The CAT5 outputs can
be used to deliver HD content to areas such as outdoor patios and pool table recreational areas.
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 3: The figure in the next page shows an expanded HD44CC5 system. With two HD44CC5
devices, HD content can be distributed to 16 displays (8 with CAT5 outputs, 8 with coaxial outputs).
The included RS232 expansion cable allows a single RS232 control port to be used to command the
entire system.
