Quick Start — PVS 204SA
Installation
This Quick Start section deals specifically with 
quick connectivity and installation of the 
PVS 204SA PoleVault
™
 switcher. At this stage, 
it is assumed that all of the necessary cable 
routing has been completed, and that projector 
ceiling hardware (e.g. ceiling mounts, projector 
poles, projector mounting kits) and output 
devices have been installed. Also, any PVT 
transmitters should already be installed (but not 
yet connected) following the relevant supplied 
instruction manuals.
Step 1
Remove power from the switcher and any input, 
output, and control devices that are to be used in 
this installation.
Step 2
Using the supplied colored labels, label both ends 
of all audio/video input cables. Ensure that the 
labels used match the input signal type that the 
cable will carry. See chapter 2, “Installation”, 
“Labeling and connecting the A/V input cables” 
section, for wiring diagrams and input color 
coding table.
N  In some installations it may be prudent to 
label the cables before routing them.
Step 3
Connect input devices via PVT transmitters to 
the RJ-45 inputs on the rear of the PVS switcher. 
See chapter 2, “Installation”, “A/V input 
connections” section, for details and wiring 
diagrams. 
N  Labeling the cables correctly using the 
color code will make this step easier.
Inputs 1 and 2: RGB video and audio.
N  Two cables (A and B) are needed for each 
RGB input. Do not cross connect them.
