Color Bit Depth
8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit & 16-bit per pixel
Note: Resolution and video bandwidth limited – ex. 2160P60 RGB or 4:4:4 8-bit
would use almost the entire 18 GBPS of bandwidth. 2160P60 4:2:2 10-bit (new
Blu Ray) would exceed the previous 10.2 GBPS maximum of HDMI 1.4a and
would not be able to travel over category cable using HDBaseT as of this writing.
Chroma Subsampling
4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0
See note above – chroma subsampling or color compression is related to bit

A 4K/60 signal at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling can have a maximum bit depth of 8
bits.

Block Diagram – Zigen ZIG-HAX-44/HDBT
General Operation
HAX-44/HDBT is the ultimate in high-bandwidth UHD switchers. With a full 600
MHz pixel clock the HAX-44/HDBT support high bandwidth sources and displays.
Additionally, the HAX-44/HDBT supports HDCP 2.2 copy protection so you can
be sure your customer is able to view the latest 4K UHD content – either
protected (movies) or computer content (un-protected).
Basic connections are 4 HDMI 2.0 sources (or below) and one HDMI output to
the display or projector. There is a SPDIF port that de-embeds audio from the
currently selected input and routes it to your audio matrix or multi-zone amplifier.
Additionally, with the HAX-44/HDBT there is a 100 meter HDBaseT port for long
distance runs. Note HDBaseT is limited to 4K/60 4:2:0 8-bit.
Advanced EDID management is available through a combination of the 4-pin
dipswitch and WebOS. 15 EDID tables are available, plus you can load custom
EDID tables. Or, leave the HAX-44/HDBT in the default mode and it will pull the
EDID from the connected/selected display. By being able to manage the EDID
and HPD (Hot Plug Detection) you can speed up switching in mixed format
systems.
Control the HAX-44/HDBT via the supplied remote control (IR – to built-in sensor
or run an IR receiver to the 3.5mm IR jack). You can also control the HAX-
44/HDBT via 3rd party control, RS-232, LAN (WebOS/Telnet), or via the input
selector switch on the front panel.
DIP Switch Settings
DIP 1: EDID
OFF (UP): As a default the downstream EDID is copied and used from output
port 1.
While DIP 1 is OFF (UP) DIP 2 & 3 are active as follows:
DIP 2: (OFF/UP) audio according to downstream capabilities
DIP 2: (ON/DOWN) audio is restricted to 2-channel regardless of downstream
EDID.
DIP 3: (OFF/UP) audio according to downstream capabilities.

! !!
!
10"
ZIG-HAX-44/HDBT"USER"MANUAL!
!
DIP 3: (ON/DOWN) audio is modified for SPDIF maximum capabilities. This
ensures that the SPDIF output always outputs all SPDIF supported formats.
DIP 2 overrides DIP 3. If DIP 2 is down, stereo is selected.
While DIP 1 is ON (DOWN) the EDID is selected using the WebOS
WebOS has 15 EDID tables to select from (more to come) for various use cases
(see screen shot below). Additionally via the WebOS and custom EDID table can
be loaded into the device. This gives maximum flexibility as customers can load
any EDID they want for the desired application.
Screen Shot – EDID Tables in WebOS
Note: While DIP 1 is ON (DOWN), DIPs 2 and 3 are not used.
DIP 4: Hot Plug Force
UP (OFF) – Hot Plug Detection (HPD) is normal

DOWN (ON) – HPD is forced active. In this mode the HAX-44/HDBT does not
process HPD events from downstream to upstream (from the sink back to the
source). This speeds up the HDMI pipeline and can be very useful to avoid a
looping condition when multiple HDMI devices are connected in series.
ZIG-HAX-44/HDBT Remote Control
HAX-44/HDBT remote control can be used for switching between inputs and
powering the HAX-44/HDBT up or down.
