Introduction This section gives an overview of the PVS 407D and its features. Topics include: • Product Description • Application Diagram Product Description NOTE: Where used, the generic term “12 VDC power supply”, refers to either the 12 VDC, 48 watt, 4 amp power supply, or the 12 VDC, 50 watt, 4.2 amp power supply only, as supplied by Extron.
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, or 150 feet for 2K rates. The signals are sent over shielded twisted pair (STP) cables.
Application Diagram The following diagrams shows a typical application for a PVS 407D. Extron FF 120 Flat Field Speakers - 1 Pair TCP/IP Network Extron SPK 18 - 35' Cable Ethernet Extron PCM 340 Projector Drop Ceiling Mount with Adjustable Pole Extron VLR 302...

Labeling Input Cables Labeling the input cable, using the sheet of labels supplied with the device, helps with identifying the input signal type routing from the PVT wallplates to the switcher during installation. To label the cables: 1. Peel off the label corresponding to the cable signal type (HDMI or RGB). 2.
Final Setup The PVS 407D switcher complete setup should look similar to figure 6, with an MLC Plus 100 as a standard MLC controller in the PoleVault system package. NOTE: See the Classroom AV System Installation Guide and MLC Plus 50/100/200 Series Setup Guide for full MLC installation, configuration, and operating details.
Connection Details For connectors that require additional wiring details or recommendations, see the following sections pertaining to the type or connection. TP Cable Recommendations for TP Communication Use the following configuration for twisted pair cables used for DTP communication. Pins: TIA/EIA T 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 568 B...
Power Supply Wiring A 12 VDC, 4 A power supply is provided with the PVS 407D. Follow the instructions and figure 9 on page 11 to wire the provided 2-pole captive screw connector to your power supply. WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
To wire the power supply: 1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed. 2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inches (5 mm) of the conductors. 3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pole captive screw plug, and use a small screwdriver to secure them. 4.

Input 7 Wiring Input 7 is a dedicated audio-only input for an auxiliary, stereo, line-level analog audio signal from an output source such as an iPod device or an MP3 player. Connect the cable from the source to this 5-pole captive screw connector.
NOTE: By default, the amplifier is set for dual mono output. Set the audio output mode to stereo via SIS (see Set audio output mode on page 48) or PCS (see the PVS 407D PCS Help file). LockIt Lacing Bracket Installation HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length.

Input 1 to 7 status LEDs (see figure 19 on page 16) — The applicable input LED lights green when that input is selected and active. • Inputs 1 to 4 — Inputs 1 through 4 are HDMI with embedded audio, or high resolution RGB signals input via the PVT wallplates.
Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode) Front panel lockout mode disables all front panel controls, except the reset button, locking out users from those functions. Putting the switcher in lock mode enhances security by protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. The front panel lockout mode can be enabled or disabled via SIS [see Front panel lockout (executive mode) on page 41], PCS (see the PVS 407D Help File for details), or the front panel.

Power Save Modes The PVS 407D is an ENERGY STAR qualified product designed to automatically shut off, enter standby mode when not in use, reduce operating costs, and extend the life of system components. Four power save modes are available (see the table below for more information on each mode). Mode Type Activation Device and...
Configuration MediaLink Controller (MLC) or by an RS-232 device acting through the MLC. Alternatively, the switcher can be set up and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the front panel USB connector or direct connection to the Ethernet, or to the rear panel RS-232 remote port of the switcher.
Gain Control Individual channel input sensitivity control Individual channel input gain control adjustments are made by pressing the adjustment buttons for the selected input button. The adjustment range is -18 dB to +24 dB, with the default set at 0 dB. NOTE: Adjusting input sensitivity for all inputs ensures consistent signal to noise ratios across all inputs.
VoiceLift Level Adjustment To adjust the VoiceLift microphone levels, press the VOICELIFT adjustment buttons (see figure 22). The VoiceLift input gain is adjusted in 1 dB steps from -18 dB to +24 dB. Default is 0 dB. While speaking into the microphone, increase the gain until the NORMAL LED is lit and the PEAK LED only lights occasionally.
Product Configuration Software The PVS 407D can be easily configured using Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS). This section describes the software installation and communication (see the PVS 407D Help File for detailed control information). Topics include: • Software/Firmware Installation • PCS Overview •...
