PVS 305SA
Five Input Twisted Pair PoleVault Switcher with Integrated Stereo Audio Amplifier

At the heart of each PoleVault System is the PVS 305SA PoleVault Switcher. With four video inputs, a switched audio input, and an integrated stereo audio amplifier, the PoleVault Switcher meets the needs of most single projector A/V environments.

The PVS 305SA switcher offers two high resolution VGA computer-video signals with stereo audio and two configurable inputs with stereo audio that support either VGA or composite video. Switching and volume are controlled via IR or RS-232 using the MediaLink Controller included with PoleVault Systems.

The PVS 305SA also features an integrated 50 watt rms stereo audio amplifier capable of driving up to four Extron speakers and filling the room with full, rich sound. The integrated audio amplifier features software-based bass, treble, and loudness control for set-and-forget operation. The VoiceLift™ Receiver input simplifies Voicelift Microphone installation and an auxiliary line-level input supports audio only sources such as an iPod or MP3 player.

Power Saving Features
The PVS 305SA is an energy efficient 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%.
