PoleVault System Benefits
Complete System
PoleVault Systems, whether standard or customized, streamline the design
and procurement process, saving both time and money. Each system
includes nearly 20 separate products, yet the entire system is ordered using
a single part number. PoleVault 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.
Simplifies Installation While Saving on Space
In typical classroom A/V systems, audio and video switching and amplification
devices are mounted in a lectern or on a shelf or desktop. Too often, the
equipment is unsecured, unsightly cables are visible, and valuable floor
space is used. PoleVault Systems place the key products at the projector,
so no equipment rack or tabletop space is required and cables are hidden
away. Installation is simplified through the use of CAT 5 twisted pair
cable, wall-mounted source signal transmitters, and easy-to-use projector
mounting hardware.

Economical, Easy-to-Install Cables
All PoleVault System video and audio input source signals between
the wallplate input and switcher are routed along proven, reliable, and
cost- effective CAT 5 twisted pair cable. In most cases, power and high
resolution A/V signals are sent over the same CAT 5 cables.
Twisted pair cable is lighter, smaller, and more flexible than coaxial cable, so
it is easier to route through walls and pull through small conduit, making it
ideal for use in retrofitting existing classrooms and for new construction. The
connectors used with CAT 5 cable are also easier to attach to the cable and
don’t require highly skilled and costly technicians for installation. All these
features add up to make PoleVault Systems more economical to purchase
and install than those using standard coaxial cable for audio and video.
Easy To Control
The MLC 104 IP Plus MediaLink Controller included in standard PoleVault
Systems is designed to simplify operation of the classroom A/V system.
With large, backlit buttons and a basic volume control knob, the controller
is almost as easy to use as a light switch. Teachers with little or no training
can learn to operate the system in a few minutes.
The standard controller employs only six buttons; two for ON/OFF control
of the projector, and four source control buttons for selecting between a
computer, VCR, DVD Player, or any other source connected to the system.
Removable button caps make it easy to label each button to clearly indicate
its function; labels can be quickly changed and don’t require programming
or engraving. Controlling the volume of the presentation is a simple as
turning the volume knob. For added functionality, optional controller models
are available; all based on the same simple user interface.
