Extron PLS 240D (part number 42-371-03) — a 2+2 input PlenumVault Digital classroom system with the MLC Plus 400 touchscreen controller and ceiling projector mounting hardware.

Same room concept as the button-panel PlenumVault systems, different user interface. Instead of backlit buttons and a volume knob, the wall carries a 4.17 inch capacitive touchscreen running a 540 by 540 IPS panel, which gives source selection, volume and display power on a single screen and leaves room for labels an instructor can actually read. Behind the ceiling tile, the PVS 407D switcher, amplifier, speakers and PVM 220 enclosure work exactly as they do in the rest of the line.

Key Capabilities

MLC Plus 400 touchscreen: 4.17 in IPS panel, 540 x 540, 400 nits, 1200:1 contrast
Two local HDMI inputs plus two twisted pair wallplate inputs, up to six sources
Video to 4096x2160 at 30 Hz, or 4K/UHD at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling
Class D amplifier rated 25 watts rms per channel into 4 or 8 ohms, 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Touch panel runs on Power over Ethernet, 802.3af class 3, drawing 3.5 watts
PCM 340 pole mount carries 50 lbs (22.7 kg) and drops 1.5 in to 23.0 in
PVM 220 enclosure is UL 2043 listed for mounting inside plenum airspace

Where It Is Used

Teaching and training rooms where a graphical panel is preferred to fixed buttons — flagship classrooms, executive briefing rooms, simulation suites and medical education spaces — all with suspended ceilings and projector-based display.
