Introduction
This manual covers the installation, operation, and configuration of the Extron PVS 405D
PoleVault Switcher. Throughout the manual, this switcher is interchangeably referred to as
the PVS 405D or the PoleVault switcher or just the switcher.
PVS 405D Description
The Extron PVS 405D is part of the PoleVault System and is used in conjunction with the
Extron PVT series of transmitters and Extron speakers. It has four video and audio twisted
pair inputs with one HDMI output, and has a built‑in audio amplifier. The switcher accepts
a combination of up to four HDMI digital signals and computer video signals with stereo
audio.
A fifth input is a switchable analog audio only input for line‑level audio such as iPods or
MP3 players. The dedicated Aux mixed input on rear panel is always active, and it is
independent of the switchable audio inputs (1‑5).
As part of the Extron PoleVault system, the PVS 405D can be installed above a
suspended ceiling in the Extron PVM 220, a plenum rated enclosure, or installed at
ceiling level within the Extron PMK 560, a Pole Mount Kit. Alternatively it can be mounted
in either the Extron WMK 160 or USFM 100 wall mount installed on a wall close to a
projector or display device.
The PVS 405D switcher is used conjunction with the Extron digital PVT wall plates, (such
as the PVT SW HDMI RGB D), and the VoiceLift microphone system. It is equipped with
an integrated 50 watt rms stereo amplifier capable of driving 4 or 8 ohm speakers.
The switcher supports all standard single link HDMI 1.4 signals at resolutions up to
1920x1200 @ 60 Hz and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p @ 60 Hz, with 12‑bit color. The
switcher and the PVT wall plates feature EDID Minder technology, which automatically
manages the EDID information between the display device and each HDMI and RGB
input source.
The switcher has a DSP audio features incorporated that provides advanced control of
filtering, ducking and so forth.
The PVS 405D is ENERGY STAR® qualified. The switcher is an energy efficient product
that conserves energy and reduces running costs.
Inputs
The PoleVault switcher receives the video and audio signals sent from PVT Wallplates,
which can be located up to 150 feet away. The signals are sent over shielded twisted pair
(STP) cable.
It has a separate analog audio input that can be switched with the other four 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 aux audio device.
PVS 405D Switcher • Introduction 1
Outputs
The PVS 405D 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 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 and display. In addition an IR pass‑through port is available
for routing IR transport control signals from a controller to the source device.
In addition, the PVS 405D 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. This mini Type‑B female USB
connector located on the front panel can also be used for configuring the switcher
settings and flash upgrading the firmware.
Three 10/100 Base‑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
(Standard 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 the Power Save Modes section on page 11 for full details and page 24 of the SIS
Communication and Control section for SIS commands. Page 43 of the Extron Product
Configuration Software describes how to set the auto power save using PCS.

Labeling the AV Inputs
A sheet of corresponding labels is supplied for the installer to label the cables as an aid to
easy identification of the input signal type running from the PVT Wallplates to the switcher.
Once the labels are attached to the cables, the signal type transmitted on any cable can
clearly be identified, enabling correct cable connection during installation.
To label the cables,
1. Peel off the label corresponding to the cable signal type (HDMI or RGB) and affix it
close to one end of the cable.
NOTE: Align and press the colored section of the label to the cable first, then
wrap the clear section around the cable, allowing the signal type name to be
easily read.

2. Repeat step 1 for the other end of the cable,
using the same label type.
3. Using the correct label type, repeat steps 1 and
2 as necessary for all signal cables that are to be
connected to the PVS 405D.
4. Connect the designated input cable to the corresponding input.
Labeling the PVT Decora face plates
To help identify the input number and type of signal that any PVT Decora wallplate sends
to the PVS switcher when the wallplate is installed, a series of small labels are supplied.
A label identifying the transmitted signal type should be affixed to each Decora face plate
(top or bottom) where it can easily be seen after installation. This aids the user to connect
a device corresponding to the plate transmission signal type, allowing correct input
switching (for example input 1, input 3 and so on)
at the PVS 405D.

Configuration
The PVS 405D switcher can be controlled by a 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 to the rear panel RS‑232 remote port of the switcher.
The control device (host) can use either the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
commands, the Global Configurator (GC) program for Windows, or the Product
Configuration Software (PCS), available at www.extron.com.
Firmware updates can be made via the front panel USB port via Firmware Loader or PCS.
NOTE: See the “SIS Communication and Control” section, starting on page 16,
for a full list of the relevant SIS commands..

Resetting the Switcher
INPUTS
Press and hold

Executive mode has been enabled or disabled.
The switcher can be reset to the factory defaults via the front panel, USB, or RS‑232.
The reset button on the front panel is a small recessed switch that allows the user to put
the switcher into two different reset modes. The PVS 405D switcher reset modes are:
• Mode 1: If the Reset Button is held down while the switcher is being powered up, the
switcher reloads its base factory firmware instead of any newer code that was loaded
after it shipped.
• Mode 2: If the user holds the reset button down for 10 seconds and the power LED
blinks once, the switcher will reset its settings back to factory default condition (Zxxx
reset). Firmware will send out unsolicited response via RS‑232/USB
Executive Mode (Front Panel Security Lockout)
To prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to settings, the PVS switcher has a front
panel security lockout (executive mode) that limits access to front panel controls.
When executive mode is active, all front panel functions are locked except the reset
button. This mode can also be turned on or off via a Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
command.
All the input LED indicators should light up for one second to indicate that executive mode
has been enabled or disabled.
To turn executive mode on or off via the front panel:
1. Press and hold input selection button until all input LEDs blink (approx. 10 seconds).
2. Release the button. The LEDs extinguish except for the currently selected input. The
switcher has enabled or disabled the executive mode.

Setting Up and Optimizing the Audio
The following steps ensure optimal sound is achieved by configuring the switcher. For
each step, refer to the sections indicated for more information.
Steps for Optimizing the Audio
1. Ensure all the settings are at default. These are the settings the PVS has upon initial
power up. The default settings are as shown below.
• Volume is set at 80%.
• Bass and treble are set at 0.
NOTE: Output volume can be adjusted via USB, RS‑232, or configuration software.
2. Ensure that the PVT transmitters are connected to the PVS and that there is an audio
input source present at each of the transmitters. Refer to the transmitters’ user’s
manual for installation/connection information.
3. Ensure a set of speakers are connected to the PVS 405D.
4. Adjust the input sensitivity for one input through the front panel or by configuration
software to a level just below where audio input is peaking. See the sections
“Individual channel input sensitivity control” and “Front panel input sensitivity control”,
later in this chapter, for details. Repeat for all five inputs.
NOTE: Adjusting input sensitivity for all inputs ensures that all inputs are at the
same level, and at the highest level possible before peaking occurs. Step 4
ensures that when the volume is at 100% the audio signal will not be distorted
(clipped).
5. Fine tune the audio by making adjustments to the bass and treble until the desired
settings are reached. See “Bass, treble” later in this chapter.
6. The aux input is selectable for configuration only. To do this press and hold the Select
button for 3 seconds until the Aux LED lights. Then turn the Input encoder to the
level desired. See Front panel input sensitivity adjustment section on page 13 for
details. Aux input can be adjusted via SIS or PCS.
7. Press the Select button to exit the Aux configuration mode.
