PlenumVault®, and WallVault® Digital Systems, and
is used in conjunction with the Extron PVT digital
series of transmitters and Extron speakers. The PVS 405D accepts HDMI and high resolution (RGB) video and audio signals. The
RGB input is digitized at the PVT input wallplate. In addition, it has dedicated ports for connecting the optional VoiceLift
and a Page Sensor unit for facility communications.

NOTE: For full installation, configuration, connector wiring, and operation details, see the PVS 405D User Guide, available at

www.extron.com.

Installing and Cabling the PVS 405D Switcher

The PVS 405D may come already pre-mounted in the Extron PMK 560 (Projector Mount Kit) and the PVM 220 (PlenumVault
Mount Kit).

However, if it is not pre-mounted, to mount the PVS 405D, follow the steps in the system installation guide, supplied with the
complete PoleVault, PlenumVault, or WallVault System. Alternatively follow the steps in the relevant Setup Guide for the mounting
kit (PMK 560, PVM 220, WMK 160, or USFM 100). Connect the cables to the switcher as shown below.

ATTENTION: The PoleVault signal transmission method is specic for PVS 405D switchers working with PVT digital wallplates.

DO NOT connect the input ports to an MTP system or to an Ethernet/LAN or data transmission system.

NOTES:

• The PVS 405D is capable of receiving signals from PVT wallplates located up to 150 feet (45 m) away.

• RJ-45 termination must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or 568B wiring standards for all connectors. The same standard

MUST be used at both ends of all cables. Refer to the PoleVault System Installation Manual for details. The cables
supplied with the PoleVault system are terminated to the TIA 568A standard.

• The use of shielded cable, such as Extron STP201 or Extron XTP DTP 24 cable, is strongly recommended.

PVS 405D • Setup Guide (Continued)

Step 1 — Connect A/V inputs

a HDMI and RGB video and audio inputs — Using recommended TP cables (see the Notes re cables on page 1), connect

up to four HDMI or RGB input sources via the PVT SW HDMI RGB D or PVT SW HDMI D input wallplates to these two RJ-45
female connectors. These inputs can be four HDMI with embedded audio, or two HDMI and two high resolution computer
video and audio sources, or a combination. The front panel input selection button toggles the inputs 1 through 4 as required.

NOTE: Each PVT input wallplate supports two input sources. A maximum of two PVT input wallplates can be connected

to the PVS 405D.

Audio input — Input 5 is a dedicated-audio only input for an auxiliary, stereo, line-level analog audio signal from an

b

output source such as an iPod device or an MP3 player. Connect the cable from the source to this 5-pole captive screw
connector. The connector can be wired as balanced or unbalanced (see the PVS 405D User Guide for method).

NOTE: Input 5 is audio only. No video signals are supported on this input.

Aux input — Connect an auxiliary audio device to this 3-pole captive screw connector. It can be wired for balanced or

c

unbalanced mono audio. Aux audio can be congured to duck program audio or to be mixed with program audio (inputs 1-5).

VoiceLift receiver connection — Connect an optional Extron VoiceLift receiver to this RJ-45 connector for the

d

integration of a VoiceLift Microphone system.

NOTE: The Extron VoiceLift Microphone Kit is an optional accessory and must be purchased separately.

Paging sensor input — Connect the optional Extron Priority Page Sensor Kit to this port, to enable program audio

e

interruptions during paging system broadcasts.

NOTE: Priority Page Sensor Kits (part numbers 70-1064-01 or 70-619-01) are optional accessories, purchased separately.

Step 2 — Connect A/V Outputs

HDMI output — Connect an HDMI capable display or the projector to this female HDMI connector.

f

Audio Out (line level) — This port is used for connecting an external Extron audio amplier, a recording podcasting

g

device, or an assistive listening system. It can be congured via RS-232 or USB for xed or variable audio output (default is
variable). It can be wired for balanced or unbalanced signals (see the PVS 405D User Guide for method)..

Amplified Audio Out — Connect speakers to each channel marked “L” and “R” (left and right) using the supplied black

h

4-pin, 5 mm connector. Wire red to positive, black to negative. Each channel is rated for 25 W at 4 or 8 ohm loads.
If using more than one speaker per channel, connect them in parallel.

ATTENTION: DO NOT tie L and R outputs to each other and/or to ground as it will short the outputs and damage the amplifier.

Step 3 — Connect Remote Control, IR, and LAN Connectors

Remote (RS-232/MLC) control port — The PVS switcher can be controlled via an RS -232 connection directly from a

i

host computer, a control system, or a MediaLink® Controller (MLC). The MLC provides remote control of input switching and
volume. Connect a cable between this port and the MLC MediaLink Controller (see gure 2). The RS-232 protocol is 9600
baud, 8-bit, 1-stop bit, no parity, and no ow control. See the MLC 104 IP Plus User Manual for full details.

NOTE: To power the MLC 104 IP Plus wire it directly into the same power supply the switcher uses (see gures 2 and 3).
