PoleVault Digital Classroom AV Systems
Complete AV Switching and Control Systems for Projectors and Displays
Extron PoleVault® Digital Classroom AV Systems are easy-to-use AV switching and control systems that
seamlessly integrate digital and analog video sources. These standard systems include all the necessary
audio and video switching, audio amplification, system control, source connectivity, speakers, mounting
hardware, and cabling for a complete classroom AV solution. All that remains is to add the display device
and sources.
High Resolution 4K Video Switching
Two local HDMI inputs and two PVT twisted pair inputs provide support for common classroom AV sources
at resolutions up to 4K. Local inputs are ideal for sources that do not need direct user access such as Extron
ShareLink, Apple® TV, CATV tuners, and streaming decoders. PVT wallplates can be placed by the teacher’s
desk or other locations in the classroom for instructor and student sources including laptop, tablet, Blu-ray
player, document camera and more.
Twisted Pair Transmission
PVT input wallplates use Extron twisted pair technology to reliably transmit high resolution digital audio and
video signals to the switcher over a single CATx shielded twisted pair cable. CATx cable offers lower cost,
easier routing, and easier termination than standard video cable, reducing installation time and expense.
Easy-to-use Room Control
Extron classroom systems include a centralized control panel that is intuitive and easy to operate. It
replaces traditional handheld IR remotes that are so easily lost or stolen, and eliminates the need for
battery replacement.
Network Connectivity
Extron systems allow administrators and support personnel to configure, manage, monitor, schedule,
troubleshoot, and control systems over the network. The IP enabled switcher features a four port Ethernet
switch that allows up to three devices within the classroom to share a single network drop.
Energy Efficiency
As an ENERGY STAR® qualified AV product, the switcher includes Extron-exclusive power saving modes. It
is designed to shut off automatically, or go into standby mode when not in use, reducing operating costs and
extending the life of system components.
Classroom AV Mounting Options
Secure Component and Projector Mounting for any Environment
PlenumVault Systems
Digital PlenumVault systems use the PVM 220 PlenumVault
Mounting Kit that securely mounts and conceals system
components in the plenum area above a suspended ceiling.
Ceiling Mount, CM, versions include a projector drop ceiling
mount with adjustable pole and universal projector bracket.
No Mount, NM, versions do not include projector mounting.

developed for classrooms with an ultra short-throw projector.
The unique USFM 100 ultra short-throw projector mount and
equipment enclosure securely mounts the projector to a wall,
and conceals system switching and amplification components.
PoleVault Systems
Digital PoleVault systems are ideal for classrooms with a
ceiling mounted projector. The unique PMK 560 Pole Mount
Kit securely mounts and conceals system components above
the projector. A projector drop ceiling mount is included with
adjustable pole and universal projector bracket.
WallVault Wall Mounted Systems

Extron VoiceLift® Pro Microphone employs state of the art wireless
technology for classroom voice amplification. VoiceLift Pro utilizes
digital transmission and pairing in a dedicated spectrum to provide
superior performance over traditional systems. Benefits include higher
sound quality, increased reliability, and greater transmission distance,
with reduced interference. VoiceLift Pro integrates seamlessly with any
PlenumVault, WallVault or PoleVault installation, providing a complete
classroom AV and voice amplification solution. Studies have shown that
evenly distributing the teacher’s voice throughout the room results in
significant gains in student achievement.
VoiceLift Pro Microphone
High Performance Wireless Microphone
Advanced Wireless Technology
The VoiceLift Pro Microphone is based on an industry standard radio frequency technology operating
in a spectrum reserved exclusively for voice communications. This technology is not susceptible to
environmental factors, such as windows, sunlight, and florescent lighting, that create problems for infrared
systems. It also does not suffer from the licensing restrictions and proximity issues of traditional RF
microphones.
Sophisticated Signal Processing
VoiceLift Pro uses advanced digital signal processing to optimize voice intelligibility and audio quality as well
as eliminate feedback.
Plug-and-play Integration
The VoiceLift Pro Receiver includes a convenient RJ45 connection for quick and easy integration of audio,
power, and control with a PoleVault switcher. In addition, the compact receiver is designed to be mounted in
close proximity to the switcher, within a secure Extron PVM, USFM, or WMK enclosure.
Instant Alert and Function Relays
Instant Alert provides instructors a quick and discreet way to signal for assistance in the event of an
emergency. Holding both volume buttons on the pendant microphone closes a relay that can instruct an
Ethernet-enabled MediaLink® controller to notify school officials and authorities via e-mail or text message.
An independent function button on the pendant provides access to the receiver’s second relay. This allows
triggering additional capabilities such as lecture capture, podcast recording, and more.
Collaboration Systems
TeamWork and ShareLink
Instruction pedagogy is shifting away from lecture and towards collaborative or cooperative
learning. These changes can have a dramatic impact on everything from technology used to
the actual design of the classroom. Flipped classrooms as well as BYOD and 1:1 deployments
require methods for students to work together with a wide array of computing and display
devices. Extron offers a number of AV integration products to facilitate collaboration in a
variety of different classroom environments.
The Extron TeamWork System is a simple, intuitive digital collaboration system for
groups of four to six users. Packages typically include HDMI and VGA Show Me cables, a
switcher, a system controller, a Cable Cubby® Series/2 enclosure, and other necessary system
cables. Students simply connect their laptop or tablet to a TeamWork Show Me cable to start the
system, and then press the Share button to display their content on the presentation display. When
students disconnect their devices and walk away, the system automatically powers down.
Extron ShareLink is a wireless collaboration gateway for sharing content from computers, smartphones
and tablets. It can be used to create a stand-alone wireless collaboration and presentation system or to add
wireless presentation capabilities to an existing classroom AV
system. ShareLink technology supports simultaneous display of
slides, documents, graphs, and photos from up to four devices.
It is compatible with Windows® and OS X® computers as well as
Apple® and Android® smartphones and tablets. ShareLink also
includes a moderator mode allowing the instructor to ensure only
approved content is displayed.
