Extron PoleVault® Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all inclusive packages, making them ideal for schools, universities, and corporate environments. PoleVault Systems use economical twisted pair cable for transmitting signals and include network connectivity for Web-based A/V resource management, monitoring, and control.
Power Saving Features
At the heart of each PoleVault System is the PVS 305SA Five Input Twisted Pair PoleVault Switcher with Integrated Stereo Audio Amplifier that offers two Extron-exclusive power saving modes designed to lower energy usage and reduce operating costs.
- Auto Power Save Mode: This mode automatically shuts off the audio amplifier inside the PVS 305SA after 30 minutes if no audio is present. This provides a close to 50% reduction in energy usage compared to normal, idle operation.
- Standby Mode: This mode shuts off both the audio amplifier and the A/V inputs of the PVS 305SA which power the input wallplates. Standby Mode is activated by the MLC 104 IP Plus or MLC 226 IP MediaLink Controller included in a complete PoleVault System. Standby Mode can be scheduled at specific times when the system is not in use or can be set to activate by monitoring when the projector is shut down. Standby Mode reduces power consumption of the PVS 305SA over 60%.
Standard PoleVault Systems
PoleVault Systems have been designed in three standard systems to streamline the design and procurement process. These two-, three-, and four-input systems include all the necessary audio and video switching, audio amplification, system control, source connectivity, speakers, mounting hardware, and cabling for a complete classroom A/V solution. All that remains is to add the video projector, projection screen, and video sources.
The three standard PoleVault System packages are each ordered using a single part number
PVS 202 Two Input PoleVault System: Accommodates one VGA computer-video and one composite video source
PVS 302 Three Input PoleVault System: Accommodates two VGA computer-video and one composite video source

System Customization
PoleVault Systems must always include the PVS 204SA Twisted Pair Switcher - which is available only in a PoleVault System - a PMK 350 Projector Mounting Kit, System Integrator® speakers, and two to four A/V inputs. PoleVault Systems can be customized to meet classroom requirements. System pricing is based on the components and quantities selected.
Exclusive Twisted Pair Technology
PoleVault Systems utilize an exclusive twisted pair technology for signal distribution, providing exceptional signal quality over economical UTP – Unshielded Twisted Pair cable. The twisted pair transmitters used in PoleVault Systems convert composite and VGA computer-video signals along with their accompanying stereo audio signals for distribution over CAT 5 type UTP cable. UTP cable is less expensive to use for A/V integration versus coaxial cable and is also easier to pull through walls, ceilings and conduit. Using UTP cable for transmission of video signals results in a significant savings in material and labor costs.
