Extron PVT series of transmitters and Extron speakers. It has four video and audio twisted

amplifier. The switcher accepts a combination of up to six HDMI digital signals, four of
which can be computer video signals with stereo audio, and supports up to two analog
VGA signals on the wallplates.

the Extron WMK 160 or USFM 100 wall mount kits that can be installed on a wall close to
a projector or display device.
The PVS 407D switcher is used in conjunction with the Extron digital PVT wallplates,
(such as the PVT HD RGB), and the VoiceLift microphone system. It is equipped with an
