INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
HD88CC5 HD88C
High Definition Video Matrix Switcher,
Coaxial and CAT5
DESCRIPTION
The HD88CC5 eight-source, eight-zone, high-definition matrix switcher allows Hi-Definition Video and
digital Audio signals to be sent over standard Coax cable or CAT5 cable with virtually no loss. Both
coaxial component and CAT5 video outputs are active simultaneously, making it possible to distribute
eight sources to sixteen outputs at the same time.
The HD88C has the same great features as the HD88CC5 without the CAT5 output. The HD88C is
ideal for installations requiring local switching and distribution up to 250’.
The HD88CC5 and HD88C units are expandable up to 32 discreet Outputs (ZONES) by paralleling
the inputs of up to 4 8x8 units.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
HD44 Series and HD88 Series
INTRODUCTION
In some installation scenarios, an audio/video source component (such as a cable box or DVD
player) may fail to work properly with distribution products or even a display. The problem is often
related to the source component’s video outputs exhibiting too much DC offset voltage on the signal
line. The result of poor DC offset voltage conditioning on the output often results in color problems
such as color bleeding, picture clarity, definition, and stability issues.
VS100 DC BLOCKER
To resolve this issue, use a Xantech ‘VS100’
Video Stabilizer DC Blocker. The ‘VS100’ is
placed in between the source component output
and the input to the distribution product. Packaged
in convenient inline dongles, the ‘VS100’ requires
no additional cables or power connections. A
‘VS100’ DC Blocker set needs to be connected
between each source component with a DC offset
issue and its corresponding input on the HD88 or
HD44.

DETAIL OVERVIEW
FRONT PANEL
The front panel is designed to provide the unit’s current Output/Input setting status. Note that only
one Output/Input status setting is displayed at any given moment. The top row of LED indicators
represents the current ZONE output selection. The bottom row of LED indicators represents the
current SOURCE input selection. The LED columns are numbered 1 to 8, from left to right.
To review the Zone/Input assignment, you must first perform a Zone Selection by pressing the
desired ZONE on the remote control. The unit will automatically update its display to show the
selected Output (ZONE) and its associated selected Input (SOURCE). The Output (ZONE) OFF
condition is identified by lighting the specified Output (ZONE) LED and leaving all (SOURCE) LED’s
off. To change the Input (SOURCE), press the desired SOURCE button. Modifying the Output (Zone)
to Input (Source) association for an Output (Zone) other than the one currently displayed on the front
panel will require two button presses. The first one changes the active Output (ZONE). The second
updates the Input (SOURCE) pairing.

REAR PANEL
[1] SOURCE LOOP-THROUGH CONNECTION
The source inputs are buffered to provide an output at the same level as the input – i.e. Unity Gain
(assuming a 75-ohm termination is on the output). Use these connections for HD88 expansion
systems. The buffers are an active circuit. The HD88 must be powered on for an active connection.
The jacks are color-coordinated to match the HD source component output color scheme.
[2] SOURCE INPUTS
These are Gold-plated RCA jacks
providing a connection from the output
of a source component to the HD88.
The jacks are color-coordinated to
match the HD source component output
color scheme.

[5] RS232 EXPANSION
The HD88C and HD88CC5 can be expanded into larger systems. By using any combination of the
HD88C and HD88CC5 (up to 4 units), a larger High-Definition distribution system can be created for
up to 32 Zones of Component Video and Digital Audio Distribution.
The expanded HD88C units must have their own unique address (see ADDRESS (DIP SWITCH)
section). The included RS232 expansion cable allows the units to be daisy chained via the RS232
control ports. This is done by connecting the SERIAL LINK port of the master to the XANTECH COM
PORT of the other unit. The XANTECH COM PORT of the master is utilized to provide control of the
entire system. Note that the Master is the main controlling unit. This unit is in charge of coordinating
the communications between all expanded units. It is identified as the master by the unit address
assigned to it. Refer to the ADDRESS (DIP SWITCH) section for further details.

[8] CAT5 ZONE OUTPUT
This is an Output connection to the HDRXSG01 receiver module. It utilizes standard CAT5 cable. Be
sure to verify CAT5 wiring connection is correct before installation.
[9] COAXIAL ZONE OUTPUT
These Gold-plated RCA jacks provide for a connection to HD monitors. The jacks have been colorcoordinated to match the HD monitor input color scheme. Note that the CAT5 and coaxial Zone
Outputs 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 selfcalibration process.
If for some reason the system loses power at the receiving end
(HDRXSG01), the transmitting end (HD88CC5), or both ends, the full
self-calibration process will automatically occur.

ADVANCE INSTALLATION
Sports Bar
The figure 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
08905150B - 12 -
Expanded System
The figure below shows an expanded HD88CC5 (16 Zones and up to 32 HD monitors) system. With
two HD88CC5 devices, HD content can be distributed to 32 displays (16 with CAT5 outputs, 16 with
coaxial outputs). The included RS232 expansion cable allows a single RS232 control port to be used
to command the entire system. Expansion specific communications between units is accomplished
via the Expansion Cable.
