- Description
- The US Army Research Development and Engineering Command Simulation and Training Technology Center (RDECOM-STTC) is conducting a market survey/sources sought to determine the availability and the technical capability of vendors to meet the needs outlined below. This market survey/sources sought is not a request for proposals, and the Government is not committed to award a contract pursuant to this announcement. We currently have a system in place that is 8 yrs old. Several of the key components have broken down and are no longer state of the art. Due to advancement in the areas of video switching, digital video capture, video over IP and possibly other advancements in the areas of audio visual processing, the Government feels that this market survey is needed. The information from this market research is for planning purposes only and will assist the Government in planning its acquisition strategy. CURRENT SYSTEM capabilities include multiple sources of audio and visual information (ie, 20+ sources) and 20+ output locations. Current system could take audio and video from any source and play at any output, simultaneously (Some parts no longer functional). The current system is capable of Standard Definition TV (SDTV) only. UPGRADES we are seeking include: more sources, more outputs, and the ability to do it all in High Definition TV (HDTV) resolution. Vendors may reuse any of the existing components/cabling. In order that the vendors may have some information on the current system and to ascertain what existing parts might be useful, following is a list/short description of our existing system. Our A/V consist of a main control system located in High Bay 1 and two sub systems (Directors office and Soldiers Conference room) Main control system does the following: "Switches 4 composite video sources oDVD oDSS oVCR oAUX "It can send composite video w/stereo audio and RGB video w/stereo audio to 13 destinations including the two other subsystems. These destinations are the lab areas throughout High Bay 1 & 2. "It can receive RGB video w/stereo audio from the 13 destinations mentioned above. "It controls a Sharp XG-V10XU projector and a 12 x 12 drop down screen located in the SIM Theater in High Bay 1. "This main system is controlled by a Panja Viewpoint. The subsystem in the Soldiers Conference room does the following: "Switches 8 composite video sources oInstructor Camera oDocument Camera oDVD oDSS oVCR oVTC oTable AUX oHigh Bay Video "Has 5 RGB(VGA) video sources oPC1 oPC2 oFront Aux Laptop oTable Aux Laptop oHigh Bay VGA "It controls two 50 Pioneer Plasma Screens and a Mitsubishi DLP Projector "VTC is accomplished with a Polycom Viewstation with 384K ISDN "This subsystem is controlled by AMX AXT-CV 10.4 Color Video Table Top Touch Panel The subsystem in the Directors office does the following: "Switches 5 composite video sources oDVD oDSS oVCR oVTC oHigh Bay Video "Has 2 RGB(VGA) video sources oDirectors PC oHigh Bay VGA "VTC is accomplished with a Polycom Viewstation with 128K ISDN "It controls one 42 Fujitsu Plasma Screen "The controller of this system also operates the video switching in the Cafeteria which has the following: o50 Pioneer Plasma oDVD oVCR oDSS oAUX VGA "This main system is controlled by a Panja Viewpoint List of some of the equipment used in these systems: Main System High Bay "Axcent Pro Integrated Access ContolFrame "AXB-Vol3 "Telex FMR-450 "Knox RS 16X16 HB Routing switch "Extron Matrix 6400 Audio switcher "Extron Matrix 6400 Video switcher "Two Extron Matrix 3200 Sync "Crown CP660 six channel professional poweramp "Extron RGB 158xi "Panja Viewpoint wireless touch panel Soldiers Conference room "Axcent3 Integrated access controller "Extron Crosspoint Switcher "Knox RS 8X8 HB Routing switcher "AMX AXT-CV10 Table top Touch Panel Directors Office "Axcent3 Integrated access controller The vendors response shall include any other specific and relevant information related to the requirements of this project that will enable the Government to determine the capabilities of the company to perform the specialized requirement described in this synopsis. Interested organizations must demonstrate and document in any response submitted to this market survey extensive experience with the ability to perform all specialized requirements elsewhere described. This notice is a market survey and is for information and planning purposes only and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The Government will not award a purchase order or contract based upon vendor responses to this survey. The Government shall not assume any costs for preparing or responding to this market survey.
