PVS 405D Switcher • Contentsvi
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 • Introduction1
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.

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.
PVS 405D Switcher • Operation12
Gain Control
Level set too high,
Individual channel input sensitivity control
Individual channel input gain control adjustments are made by rotating the adjustment
encoder 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 that all inputs are at the same
level and at the highest level possible before clipping occurs.
Front panel input sensitivity adjustment
To make sure the right input sensitivity is attained, do the following:
For the active input (with the LED lit), rotate the level adjustment encoder until the Normal
LED is lit and the Peak LED only lights occasionally.
NOTE: Having the audio level beyond the point at which the peak LED flashes results
in a distorted output signal (clipping).

Individual gain adjustment can also be made by configuration software or SIS commands
(see “SIS Communication and Control” for details on SIS commands).
Repeat the steps for the other inputs as desired.
NOTE: The Peak/Normal/Signal LEDs function as the Aux Input level indicator only
when the switcher is in the “AUX Adjust” mode.
PVS 405D Switcher • Operation13
Bass and treble control
For optimum audio quality, the audio input levels and the bass and treble controls must all
be set up properly. Input audio levels may need to be adjusted depending on the variation
of the output levels from different source devices.
NOTE: By default these levels are set for the consumer product level of ‑10 dBV.
Bass and treble should be adjusted once the input and output levels have been adjusted.
These are adjusted by configuration software or SIS commands only, with a range from
‑24 dB to +12 dB. By default the bass and treble have been set at 0 dB. See the
SIS Communication and Control” section for details on SIS commands.
VoiceLift level adjustment
To adjust VoiceLift microphone levels, rotate the MIC adjustment encoder through 43
positions (in 1 dB steps) from ‑18 dB to +24 dB, default is ‑3 dB.
While speaking into the microphone, increase the gain until the Normal LED is lit and the
Peak LED only lights occasionally.

Figure 9. Front panel VoiceLift Mic Min/Max LED and adjustment encoder
The VoiceLift Microphone Receiver input signal is not affected by the volume adjustment
and tone control via SIS or an MLC controller attached to the switcher. The VoiceLift audio
channel is always active, and it is independent of the selectable audio inputs (1 ‑ 5).
The VoiceLift Receiver Microphone input audio can be heard throughout a presentation,
whether or not another input is selected.
NOTE: If audio output is muted via the “1Z” SIS command, all audio will not be heard.
The VoiceLift Microphone input can be muted via a separate SIS command. See the “SIS
Communication and Control” section, for details.
PVS 405D Switcher • Operation14
Paging sensitivity adjustment
When the Priority Page Sensor, or the PPS 35 microphone interface, or the Priority Page
Sensor kit is connected to the Priority sensor input on the rear panel, the HDMI output
audio, amplified and line out audio outputs are muted during a system announcement.
The yellow LED indicator lights up as an announcement or page is made over the facility
PA system.
The Priority Page Sensor kit works with 25V/70V and 4/8 ohms paging systems.
The PPS 35 works with any public address system speakers.
To adjust Paging sensitivity, rotate the Paging Sensor adjustment encoder clockwise to
increase sensitivity and counter‑clockwise to decrease sensitivity.

SIS Communication
and Control
The PVS 405D can be configured and controlled via a host computer or other device
(such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS‑232 connector or a LAN port
or the front panel USB port (recommended). Control is made using the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS) of commands, or the Product Configuration Software (PCS) program.
Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer,
available at www.extron.com. See the DataViewer Help file for use.
This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics that are covered include:
• Host to Switcher Communications
• Commands and Responses
The switcher uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no
flow control and the rear panel RS‑232 captive screw connector has the pin
assignments as shown at right.
Host to Switcher Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the PVS 405D determines that a
command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).
REMOTE
RS-232
Tx Rx G
Switcher-initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the
PVS 405D responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the
host. Example switcher‑initiated messages are listed here.
The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to an PVS product via RS‑232.
Vx.xx is the firmware version number. The current date and time are displayed.
PVS 405D • SIS Communication and Control16
Error Responses
When the PVS 405D receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a
response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the
command contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.
Error Numbers
E01 — Invalid input channelE14 — Not valid for this configuration
E10 — Invalid commandE22 — Busy
E12 — Invalid port numberE25 — Device not present
E13 — Invalid parameter

Commands and Responses
Using the Command and Response Tables
The SIS Command and Response tables from page 22 onwards lists the commands the
PVS 405D recognizes as valid. The tables show the responses that are returned to the
host with a description of the command function or command execution results.
NOTE: Upper and lower case text can be used interchangeably.

WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power
supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply supplied and or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product. Unless otherwise stated, the
AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities.
The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.
• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage
the power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord (see figure 32)
identify the power cord negative lead.
• To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load
and check the output with a voltmeter.
• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important.
The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.
Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
NOTE: Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the direct insertion
connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
