COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JULY 5,1995 PSA#138142d Contracting Squadron/LGC, 50 LeMay Plaza South, Bldg 804, Maxwell
AFB AL 36112-6334 Attn:/Gail Bumgardner 58 -- AUDIO/VIDEO ROUTING SYSTEM EQUIPMENT POC Gail Bumgardner tel:
334/953-2772/2Lt Rengel, (334) 953-7212 CNT F01600-95-R0040 Air
University Television Cable Network has a requirement to purchase
equipment for a video and audio routing system. The system shall have
64 inputs and 64 outputs. System shall have central control performed
on an IBM compatible personal computer with a color VGA monitor. Router
commands will be controlled through a standard IBM parallel or RS-422
interface using either single user or multi user software. System must
contain a graphical routing system software that will show color icons
of video and audio sources and destinations. Icons will be capable of
having at least two lines of eight character text describing the device
name and a graphic of the device. The source shall be indicated by a
white arrow in the upper right corner. The destination(s) devices in
that same path must be indicated with similar coloring of the icon(s).
System must have a software breakaway feature for left and right
channel audio and video breakaway. Breakaway must be performed by
clicking on a color icon on the screen labeled ''Breakaway.'' System
must contain a patch or insert mode feature that allows the output of
a source device to be sent to the input of a destination device. The
destination device then sends its output to another destination device.
Multiple destinations must be capable of being set up and switched in
the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of the signal. The entire cross
point array must be capable of switching in the VBI. System must
contain an append mode, allowing a non-technical person to add
additional destinations or output devices to existing jobs by clicking
icons on the screen. System must contain easy to use smart switches.
This allows for custom system configurations so that by touching a
''master setup switch'', an operator can set up the entire facility.
The software will allow creation of Smart Switches (macros) via the
color monitor. The system must have ''time of day control''
capabilities which will allow, among other things, channel sharing. By
entering a specific time of day, the system will perform a control
function at the specific time. System shall have a master reset that
will allow all switches to be initialized by clicking on an icon on the
color screen. System must have a default software setting that allows
the operator to assign any input on the system to a logo channel. When
a destination is not in use, the default input channel will be sent to
that destination. The video and audio control system must have a simple
command language for RS-232 interface, allowing control for routing,
smart switches, reconfiguration and the ability to launch smart
switches. The system must have ''machine control'' for the 16 VCRs
currently in use. This requires a menu to set start time, stop time,
stop and/or rewind. Supporting equipment such as equipment racks, blank
filler panels, audio/video patch panels, and patch cords will also be
required. All components must work as a system, and match the existing
racks and patch panels, and jack fields. This office wants to
determine if there are any interested and capable vendors to fulfill
this requirement. Interested firms are invited to submit detailed
information describing their equipment. Acknowledgment of receipt will
not be made; however, sources deemed qualified will be considered for
future solicitations. This is not a request for proposal and should
not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Prospective sources
should submit the required data within 15 days after this publication.
