Inputs
The PoleVault switcher receives the video and audio signals sent from PVT Wallplates,
which can be located up to 130 feet away for 4K/30 Hz rate (see Note below), or 150 feet
for 2K rates. The signals are sent over shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
NOTE:
PVS 407D must have firmware version 2.00 or greater for 4K support on all
HDMI inputs.
In addition there are two HDMI inputs (inputs 5 and 6) for HDMI source inputs, such as
Apple TV
®
or Extron ShareLink devices. DVI inputs can also be connected to these two
HDMI connectors when using the appropriate DVI-to-HDMI adapter. The PVS 407D
switcher has a separate analog audio input (input 7) that can be switched with the other
six inputs. In addition, there is a dedicated port for connecting the optional VoiceLift
microphone system, and another port for connecting an optional Priority Page Sensor. A
third dedicated port allows the user to connect an auxiliary audio device.
Outputs
The PVS 407D has one HDMI output, an amplified audio output, and a line out audio
output for assistive listening or recording devices.
Control and Configuration
The PoleVault switcher can be controlled from either the front panel buttons, or software
via the front panel USB, rear panel LAN ports, or RS-232 control via a MediaLink
controller.
The switcher has an RS-232 port which can be connected to a MediaLink Controller for
remote control of the switcher. An IR pass-through port is available for routing IR transport
control signals from a controller to the source device.
In addition, the PVS 407D can be configured and controlled using the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS) of commands or through the Extron Product Configuration Software
(PCS) program connected via the front panel USB port and TCP/IP connection. The
female USB mini B connector located on the front panel can also be used for configuring
the switcher settings and flash upgrading the firmware. Firmware upgrades can also be
made remotely over the network by connecting to one of the four rear panel LAN ports.
Four 10/100Base-T network switch ports are also provided allowing network connectivity
for multiple other devices, such as MLC controller, TouchLink panel and Ethernet
controlled products, using a single LAN drop within the installation location.
Three front panel controls allow the user to adjust the independent input gains, the
VoiceLift microphone input level, and the Page Sensor sensitivity.
Power Save
This product is an ENERGY STAR
®
qualified product. It has two Power Save modes
(Standby and Auto) that can be enabled or disabled by SIS commands, or through the
Product Configuration Software (PCS). When either of these modes are enabled and
the product is in a low power state, it can be taken out of that state by a front panel
operation.
See
on page 14 for full details and the SIS command
See the
PVS 407D Help File
for details on how to set the auto power feature using PCS.
