The AD4HC and AD4MC are undergoing a redesign to make them even better.
At this time, winter 2011 is the planned release date.
Check back here for their announcement.
In the meantime, you can still purchase original AD4HC and AD4MC decoders for as long as the stock lasts.
The new designs will have the same pinout and be compatible with the original AD4 series as well as using the same 44 pin edge connector.

Remote control - The AD4 decoders are used to control stationary items such as switch machines, and lights.
Any device, equipped with an accessory decoder, can be activated and controlled from any throttle and/or, the command station.
AD4MC Medium current Decoder - is designed for tortoise or other low current switch machines.
It also works with Kato and LGB style machines that use two wires.
It is rated up to 1Amp peak throwing current.
It can also use an external DC power supply rating.
AD4HC High current Decoder is designed for high current twin-coil solenoid type switch machines.
It has a built in high capacity capacitive discharge (CD) circuit.
It can also be used to control high current lamps and other loads.
An external source of 16 to 24 VAC for the .capacitive discharge (CD) circuit is required.
Local push button control - In addition to commands coming from throttles, the AD4 can be activated with simple push buttons.
Either a single toggle switch or a pair of push buttons can be used.
4 independent outputs - Each AD4 has 4 paired outputs that can be split into 8 independent outputs.
Booster powered or use external power supply - Power for the Accessory Decoders comes from either the track power or an external DC power supply.
However, a dedicated booster is recommended so that turnouts can be thrown even if the main track power is shut down due to a derailment.
Supports Operation Mode and Service Mode programming - Configuration of all the decoder features are done via the Command Station’s programming track or with “OPS” mode mainline programming.
A simple jumper interlock prevents accidental reprogramming from either the mainline or the programming track.
Programmable activation - AD4 outputs can be set to flash, pulse or continuous on.
The outputs can be connected to via a terminal strip, edge-card socket or direct soldering.
Easy Hookup - The AD4 slips into the 44 pin edge card connector to allow easy connection to all of the AD4’s functions.
The connector features easy-to-use gold plated card fingers for reliable connections.
The terminals are gold plated for easy soldering.
