INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
HD88CC5 HD88C
High Definition Video Matrix Switcher,
Coaxial and CAT5
High Definition Video Matrix Switcher,
Coaxial Only
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.

INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instruction in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Cleaning — Unplug the apparatus from the power outlet before cleaning. Use only a dry cloth to clean the apparatus.
Power Lines — An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Object and Liquid Entry — Never insert objects of any kind through the openings of these appliances, as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the appliance through openings in the enclosure.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service these appliances yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

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.
