INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

HD44CC5 HD44C

High Definition Video Matrix Switcher,

Coaxial and CAT5

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.

SLEEVE +12VDC, 25mA

[4] IR BUS, EMITTER PORT

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.

PLUG 2-Pin WECO CIRCUIT

TIP + IR SIGNAL
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.

[5] RS232 (SERIAL) COMMANDS

The RS232 Port is bi-directional. The communication is set to 9600 Baud 8-N-1.
