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 as simple as turning the
volume knob. For added functionality, optional controller models are
available, all based on the same simple user interface.
Eliminate Multiple Remotes
The MediaLink controller eliminates the need for multiple handheld
IR remotes that can be lost or stolen. There are no batteries to
replace and no confusing menus to memorize. When PoleVault
Systems are installed in multiple classrooms, teachers will
confidently move from room to room when necessary, always
encountering the same familiar control panel, no matter which
projector is used.

a Web-based campus-wide resource management and control
software application that provides a powerful, flexible way to

Graphical User Interface Option
Technology enhanced classrooms provide instructors with new tools
to teach and interact within the presentation environment. Many
instructors prefer the flexibility of not only controlling the environment
via an in-room controller mounted on a wall or lectern, but also
from a control page on a computer monitor or wireless device. With
PoleVault Systems, an instructor can control the projector, DVD
player, VCR, screen, lights, and more from a colorful Web page
on a laptop or classroom computer equipped with a mouse or
touchscreen monitor.
Each PoleVault System includes a ready-to-use default Graphical
User Interface or GUI. In addition, there are two ways to create a
customized GUI. You can select one of our free templates to create
your own, or let Extron software developers do the work for you with
our economical GUI Customization Service.
Enhance the Classroom Audio
Attempting to run the presentation audio through the projector
might be seen as a money saving option, but it results in poor
quality sound and a low volume level. Projectors just don’t have the
speakers or amplification to produce quality sound and overcome
noise in the classroom.
Extron Patented Flat Field
®
Speakers
Many classrooms have acoustical tile ceilings that are suspended
from the roof or floor structure above the classroom. This forms
a space or “plenum” between the suspended ceiling and the
building. For voice and program material, standard PoleVault
Systems provide code required plenum rated wide dispersion
ceiling speakers that distribute the sound across the entire
classroom. Extron patented Flat Field FF 120 Speakers are
specially designed to work with PoleVault Systems and offer ease
of integration with standard ceiling tiles. The FF 120 utilizes Extron’s
unique Flat Field Technology for consistent sound levels across the
listening area, thus reducing the number of speakers required. As
an option, you could select wall mounted program speakers which
can be mounted near the projection screen.
