audio signals to the PoleVault switcher. This model incorporates
EDID Minder®, which allows the transmitter to communicate the appropriate
EDID information to the source, ensuring correct video output resolution.
See reverse side for EDID Minder operation.

NOTE: The 5-pole EDID Minder settings switch is located on the rear of the wallplate. After

installation, these switch settings are only accessible by removing the device from its installed
location. The factory EDID setting (default) is 1024x768@60 Hz (preset 2).

Installation

1. Using the mud ring or a junction box as a guide, mark the edges and cut out

the material within the marked area.

NOTE: If installing a junction box, allow enough depth for the wallplate and

cables. The box should be at least 2.0 inches (5.1 cm) deep for the
connectors and cables.

2. Either:

Insert the mud ring into the opening, rotate the locking arms, and secure
with the supplied screws,

Or, Insert the wall box and secure with nails or screws.

3. Run the CAT 5 cables from the PoleVault switcher location, going behind the

wall and to the PVT location, then thread the cables through the mud ring or
wall box.

NOTE: Two cables (A and B) are needed for RGB signals.

NOTE: The CAT 5 cables supplied are terminated to the TIA 568A standard.

4. Connect the cables to connectors on the rear of the wallplate (cable labeled

A to port A, cable B to port B).

5. If available, connect the switcher line out port to the rear panel 3-pole captive

screw connector, using a line out audio cable: L = left (tip), R = right (ring),
G = ground (sleeve). See inset, step 5.

6. Connect an IR cable from the MediaLink

by inserting the signal wire into the hole marked “S” and the ground wire into
the hole marked “G” (see inset, step 6).

7. If the display refresh rate and resolution is known, set the EDID Minder

5-pole DIP switches according to the EDID table (see reverse side for details).
Alternatively, if the EDID Minder is used in the learn mode, set all the DIP switches to off.

8. Mount the device into the mud ring or wall box and attach the supplied Decora faceplate.

9. Connect a source device to “Computer In” and a local display device to “Monitor Out.”

10. Connect the IR emitter to the front panel 2-pole captive screw connector with the signal

wire in the hole marked “S” and the ground wire in the hole marked “G.”
Place the IR emitter near or in front of the IR pickup sensor on the device.

11. To complete system installation refer to the PoleVault System Installation Guide,

available at www.extron.com.

Other CAT 5 cables can be used if they are TIA 568A or TIA 568B
standards and terminated to the same standard at both ends.

PVT RGB D Plus (EDID) • Setup Guide, cont’d

EDID Minder

The EDID Minder has two modes; a preset mode and a learn mode.

Preset mode allows selection of pre-programed EDID rates, as shown in the table below.

Learn mode enables the displays specific EDID information to be recorded and emulated
by the input wallplate.

To use the EDID Minder mode in preset or learn Mode, follow the instructions below.

Using Preset mode

1. If already installed, disconnect any sources and displays from the front panel and

remove the wallplate from the wall.

2. On the rear panel, set DIP switch 1 to the 50 or 60 kHz setting as desired.

Set DIP switches 2 to 5 accordingly, to match the desired EDID rate (see table below).

3. Connect the video source to the “Computer In” VGA connector and a local display

device to the “Monitor Out” port.

4. Restart the video source and display devices. Verify the image, making any

changes to the EDID settings as needed.

5. When the image is correct, re-install the wallplate. Re-connect and restart the source and display devices.
