Extron WallVault^® Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive AV switching and control packages, making them ideal for single-display K-12 classrooms. These systems were specifically developed for classrooms with a wall mounted short-throw projector or flat panel display. WallVault Systems use economical twisted pair cable for transmitting signals and include network connectivity for Web-based asset management, monitoring, and control. Extron WallVault Systems take their name from the unique USFM 100 and WMK 150 enclosures that securely mount and conceal the system switching and audio amplification components on the wall.

Power Saving Features

At the heart of each WallVault System is the PVS 305SA IP Five Input IP-Enabled PoleVault Switcher with Integrated 50 Watt 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 IP 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 AV inputs of the PVS 305SA IP 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 WallVault 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 IP over 60%.
