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

Caring For the HD88 High Definition Video Matrix Switcher  
Clean only with a dry soft cloth.  
It is important to properly care for your HD88 High Definition Video Matrix Switcher. Follow these guidelines to ensure  
your device is preserved and protected.  
Do not expose the HD88 to rain, liquids or moisture for an extended period of time.  
Do not expose the HD88 to temperature extremes.  
Do not place any objects on top of the HD88 to prevent chassis damage.  
Precautions  
Always exercise care when operating the HD88 High Definition Video Matrix Switcher.  
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including  
amplifiers) that produce heat.

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.

[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.

[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 color-  
coordinated 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 self-  
calibration 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.

QUICK INSTALLATION: HD88CC5 and HDRXSG01  
[1] Connect the High-Definition Source to the HD88CC5 or HDTXSG01. Figure 1 below shows an  
HD88CC5 (video matrix transmitter) connected to the HDRXSG01 (receiver).  
[2] Using CAT5 cable, connect the HD88CC5 zone output or the output from the HDTXSG01 to the  
HDRXSG01. Connect power to the HD88CC5 first, then connect power to the HDRXSG01.  
[3] On the HD88CC5, make the desired Zone/Source assignment. See HD88CC5 manual on how to  
use RS232 and IR RC68+ controls.
