Introduction

About the PVT Transmitters

The Extron PVTSeries (PoleVaultTwisted Pair Transmitters) are a series of cost effective twisted pair transmitters that work exclusively with the PVS 204SA, a four-input twisted pair switcher with a built in power amplifier.

PVT transmitters can transmit composite video and stereo audio or high resolution video (RGB) and stereo audio to the

PVS 204SA switcher over CAT 5 twisted pair cable, up to a distance of 100 feet. All transmitters are remotely powered via the twisted pair cable when connected to the PVS 204SA switcher.

NThis manual covers the rack mount models only.

For Decora® and AAP models, refer to the manual (part number 68-1259-01) for those devices.

NPVT series of transmitters are compatible ONLY with the PVS 204SA switcher.

NFor PVS 204SA installation and operation information, refer to the manual supplied with the device.

The PVT transmitter rack mount models can be mounted on 1U 19" or standard rack shelves, or mounted under or on desks. The PVT series rack mount models are as follows:

PVT CV — Transmits composite video and stereo audio.

PVT RGB, PVT SW RGB — Transmits computer (RGB) video and stereo audio.

PVT RGB CV — Transmits composite video, computer video and two stereo audio signals.

See the "About the PVT xx" sections in this chapter for details.

The PVT transmitters are part of a system for distribution of composite or computer video and audio, over Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP Cable, or any CAT 5, 5e, or 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.

Transmission distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. However, all PVT models can transmit signals to the PVS 204SA switcher if it is located not more than 100 feet away. The optimum

distance is between 50 and 75 feet.
