- Description
- The United States Capitol Police (USCP) Command Center has an audio and visual (AV) switching and control system with RGBHV and composite video switching on two (2) separate switching planes. Thirty-two (32) CCTV video DVI inputs need to be added to the AV system. As part of the lifecycle upgrade of the AV control and video switching system, USCP would like to have RGBHV video, composite video, Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video, and internet protocol (IP) video streams switched on one switching plane. At a high level, the USCP has the following goals: • The system should provide one (1) switching plane by which RGBHV video, composite video, DVI video, and IP video streams can be switched. • Commercially available products that require minimal development to meet all of the requirements are preferred. • Platforms that have been deployed in a large scale production environment are preferred. • Throughout the transition to a new system, the USCP Command Center must maintain a functioning AV system. Vendors are encouraged to provide a "best practice" solution for the implementation of their solution. Core Elements Desired for Upgrades of the Command Center AV System 1. General Requirements 1.1. Software based solution 1.2. Hardware neutral solution for major system components such as servers 1.3. Modular solution that allows for expansion of input/output capabilities and independent component hardware/firmware upgrades 1.4..Net based solutions preferred 1.5. Software was developed using one or more secure coding standards (i.e. CERT Secure Coding Standard or comparable) 2. Operational Requirements 2.1. System may be controlled from one location using a graphical user interface (GUI) on two touch screen monitors - one monitor is dedicated for television and satellite feed controls 2.2. Control GUI shall graphically represent the physical layout of the Command Center 2.3. Control GUI will display outputs with the input currently being displayed 2.4. Controls shall allow for selected inputs to display to designated outputs in sequence 2.5. Controls shall allow administrators to change naming or add new inputs or outputs 3. Output Requirements 3.1. Converts and scales analog and digital inputs to DVI and RGBHV video outputs so that any input can be displayed on any output 3.2. Twenty-one (21) DVI outputs to existing West wall monitors or twenty-one (21) video outputs to an optional West video wall 3.3. Ten (10) DVI outputs to existing East wall monitors or ten (10) video outputs to an optional East video wall 3.4. Ten (10) DVI outputs to monitors 3.5. Ten (10) RGBHV outputs to remote rooms 3.6. One (1) RGBHV output to VTC Codec 4. Input Requirements 4.1. Thirty-two (32) DVI inputs from CCTV system video server 4.2. Twenty (20) DVI inputs from satellite receivers 4.3. Forty-nine (49) RGBHV inputs from Command Center floor 4.4. Seven (7) RGBHV inputs from remote rooms 4.5. One (1) RGBHV input from VTC Codec 4.6. Eight (8) Composite inputs from CCTV system 4.7. Ten (10) Composite inputs from Command Center floor 4.8. Twelve (12) Composite inputs from remote rooms 4.9. Four (4) Composite inputs from VCR/DVD players 4.10. Two (2) Composite inputs from VTC Codec 4.11. Will directly accept UDP/IP or TCP/IP video streams via either multicast or unicast 5. Network Requirements 5.1. Supports SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 for network management 5.2. Supports multicast transmissions 5.3. Integrates into Active Directory 5.4. Software solutions will operate on Windows 2008R2 and/or Windows 7 Professional or higher 6. Management Requirements 6.1. Extensive logging features that report to a central management interface 6.2. Access to logging, programming, administrative features is permissions based (ADS) 6.3. Web based management interface 7. Control Requirements 7.1. IR to four (4) Satellite Tuners for control of channel selection 7.2. RS232 to two (2) VTC Codecs for control of the VTC video display 7.3. IR Control to two (2) VHS Players for control of play, pause, rewind, and fast forward 7.4. RS232 to two (2) DVD Players for control of play, pause, rewind, and fast forward 7.5. RS232 to thirteen (13) monitors for control of input and channel selection 7.6. IR Control to twenty (20) monitors for control of input and channel selection 7.7. Contact Closure to Pit Audio Mixer that mirrors existing control programming 7.8. Control of Autopatch Audio Mic/Line Mixer that mirrors existing control programming 7.9. Control of Optional Video Wall 8. Training 8.1. Operator training for approximately forty (40) user will be provided 8.2. Administrator training for approximately fifteen (15) administrators and engineers will be provided 8.3. SDK training will be provided for two (2) administrators 9. Optional Video Wall Requirements 9.1. Replace existing four (4) overhead projectors and seventeen (17) Monitors on West wall with an approximately 36'x7' video wall. 9.2. Replace existing two (2) overhead projectors and eight (8) monitors on East wall with an approximately 26'x7' video wall. 9.3. Replace existing six (6) overhead projectors on North and South walls with six (6) 70"-76" wall mounted monitors. Submission Requirements Responding vendors should provide all responses to this RFI in the form of a matrix which includes: • An individual listing of each requirement; • The vendor's compliance with each requirement; and, • A supporting explanation or a reference to documentation that can be attached as an addendum. Respondents should also provide a separate document which includes: • A description of their architecture; • Their willingness to provide a live demonstration: • Local references and whether they would allow the USCP visit and view their system; • Their willingness to provide a demo license (minimum 90 days) for review and testing by the USCP; and, • Potential pricing information.
