The HC-800 features a dual core 1.8GHz processor which maximizes the power of the Control4 award-winning operating system.

  • Instantaneous, intuitive control from a touch screen, remote, or TV on-screen navigator.
  • Next-generation core and ZigBee processors deliver a new level of speed and system responsiveness to control lighting scenes, security and automation functions, or to interact with large music or video libraries.
  • Expansive I/O to control devices through IR, RS-232 serial, IP, ZigBee, contacts and relays.
  • 4 audio outputs – 2 analog, 1 digital and 1 HDMI – and 1 analog audio input let you enjoy the digital music experience in up to 4 zones without a secondary media player.
  • Integrated Wireless-N and ZigBee with external antennas and optional 3-meter extended antenna for superior wireless performance, especially in rack-mounted installations.
  • Certified HDMI with audio and video capability delivers reliable connectivity to today’s televisions and receivers.
  • eSATA and USB ports enable connections to external storage with music or video content.

“The HC800 is the most impressive controller I have ever tested. The On-Screen performance is simply amazing and the speed of zigbee is unlike anything before.”
—Kevin Luther, Blackwire Designs

“Take the power of the HC-1000, combine that with the features of the old HC-500 and you have a blazingly fast controller that can keep up just about anything you throw at it.”
—Shawn Lemay, Sound and Theater

“I never would have thought that navigator could operate so quickly on a controller, much less a controller that is also running director, zigbee server, and zigbee coordinator at the same time!”
—Chad Gray, Digitech Custom Audio & Video

“eSATA on the back panel is wicked! Exciting piece.”
—Joey Ferrell, Tennessee Home Theater
