58 -- AUDIO-VISUAL DATA INTEGRATION SYSTEM SOL DAHA1798R2003 DUE 060498 POC Annette Bergeron, 207/990-7353 Engineering, design and system installation of Audio-Visual Data Integration System which provides interoperability and exchange of audio, data and video information between three new control centers in new SQ OPS/AGU facility. System should be initially designed to provide connectivity for the following equipment: Five (5) computerPCs per control, one (1) 37" high resolution color monitor per control center, and one (1) 10" color touch screen panel per control center. The system will initially integrate data and video inputs for fifteen (15) PCs with potential to eventually accommodate twenty (20) PCs. The system must be capable of selecting inputs from the other centers as well as their own by way of an integrated control system using color touch screen controlling matrix switch devices. Each center will have computers and NTSC video devices that will need to be displayed on large screen high resolution monitors and projectors. Inputs from various computers will require interface devices with specifications that match the bandwidth requirements of the computer inputs. The interfacing devices must convert the computer video signal to a four (4) component video signal without changing the scan rate of the incoming signal. Inputs from NTSC video devices must be scan doubles and converted to four (4) component video with routing through the system switches to the display devices. Video inputs will be routed to a main matrix switcher capable of taking sixteen (16) inputs and eight (8) outputs; initially, the switch should be expandable to thirty-two (32) inputs/outputs. The switcher must be capable of being controlled via front panel switches, control system and software, in case of single point failures. The switch must be capable of driving output signals 500 feet and still be intact. They must be capable of 400 Mhz bandwidth. All video outputs will be displayed on 42"-37" high resolution monitors and data grade video projectors. System must be compatible with a Sony VPH-1272QCRT type already installed. System should be designed and configured to handle one additional data/graphics projector as well as one additional 120" projection screen. Provided monitors shall be capable of displaying video signals in the 15.75 Khz horizontal scan rate to the 85 Khz horizontal scan rate range. The system will include a master processor that will be controlled by one 10" color touch screen panel in each control center. Touch screens will be connected by a token ring network and operate from the master processor. All power conversion, cabling and connectors should be provided as part of the system/installation. System should be security (password) protected. Installation of system shall also include an on-site operator, maintenance and system administration training.
