This acquisition is unrestricted; the standard industrial classification code is 3663. The acquisition is for the following items (part numbers are Merlin Engineering Works): Line Item 0001, Video data encoder, P/N: ME-981. Line Item 0002, Interface card, P/N: 981-PCMB/PCMB. The part numbers provided above are meant to show the Government's minimum requirements. Offerors can quote on equals. The offered units shall meet the following performance requirements: Line Item 0001, Video encoder: The Video Data encoder shall convert digital data, Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) and/or MIL-STD-1553 signal into video signal to be recorded on a HI-8mm VCR. Data received directly from the system under test is routed to the encoder's compatible data interface cards (PCM or 1553) and then is written into memory where error correction code is performed. After the D/A conversion, the data is conformed to video timing and output in standard video format for recording. INPUT: Depends in the interface cards being used.
