- Description
- Sources Sought Notice: •The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards Air Force Base, CA is seeking potential sources capable of providing an Enerdyne Color Video Compression Encoder with Part Number ENC1000A94. •Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 3663, FSC code is 5820 •Manufacturer: Enerdyne Technologies •The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards AFB, CA has a requirement for five (5) each SA-309913-01, ENC1000A94-00, Video Compression Encoder, Standard Features to support the Test Pilot School (TPS) to conduct flight testing. This equipment must be completely compatible with the Enerdyne units that are already installed and in the TPS aircraft and other flight test aircraft at AFFTC. The encoders will be used to compress the video signal received from the Merlin Units in order to be able to record two hours using a HI-8mm tri-deck airborne video recorder. Also, this signal may be transmitted to a ground station where the telemetry system will provide a real-time video picture of the pilot’s Head-Up-Display (HUD), the Multi-Function Display (MFD) and/or safety of flight test data during a mission. Flight test engineers will be able to monitor aircraft performance in the control room as they observe an image of the pilot’s HUD and/or MFD. •Interested parties who believe they can meet all the requirements for the five (5) each SA-309913-01, ENC1000A94-00, Video Compression Encoder, are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the required equipment. •The encoder digitizes and compresses a standard analog NTSC color video signal and outputs a single, continuous, serial digital output signal representing the input picture clocked at any fixed rate up to 10Mbps. Up to three separate video sources can be connected to the encoder. The encoder receives EIA-232 encoder control signal data as required, allowing for remote encoder setup using any DOS-based PC with terminal emulation. Setup has user selectable adjustments for three levels of horizontal resolution (pixels/line), quantization level, crop mode, output bit rate, color, tint, system defaults, test patterns, and system status information. 3-wire EIA-232 control port supports serial data baud rates of 300 to 9600; all external EIA-232 programming is held in EEPROM, and as such is retained upon power down. ADVS causes no blurring of the compressed picture upon the encoding and decoding of any type of moving objects within a given picture. Thus, each and every video frame is digitized separately and completely. A multiplexer provides inputs for asynchronous serial data, PCM data and clock, and an audio signal to be interspersed into the digitized video data stream. ENC1000A94 features Adaptive Digital Video Standard Compression Algorithm (ADVS); Real-Time Digital Compression of Full-Motion Video; Small Size-94 Cubic Inches; Low Power-8 Watts Typical at 28 VDC; Three Selectable Video Inputs; No Blurred Motion-Each Frame Separately Encoded; User Programmable Video Parameters via EIA-232 Port; Composite NTSC Color and PAL, Y/C Capabilities; Transmits at Rates Up to 10 Mbps Over any Digital Medium. •FOB: Destination Delivery: 90 DARO The salient functional characteristics are as follows: Standard Functions: Video Inputs: One of three inputs: NTSC or PAL, Composite or Y/C, 1 Vp-p, 75 ohms Digital Data Outputs: NRZL clock and data, EIA-422A levels Communications Port: EIA-232C at 9600,4800,2400,1200 or 300 baud Data Multiplexer PCM Input: TTL, CMOS or EIA-422A selectable input levels, maximum data rate is 49% of total link frequency Audio Input: 300Hz to 3000 Hz, 600 ohms, 1 Vp-p EIA-232 multiplex input: EIA-232C at 9600,4800,2400,1200 or 300 baud Resolution: 560,280 or 140 pixels per line Quantization: 240 steps Cropping: 4 steps Compression Standard: ADVS Internal Data Clock Output: 19 KHz to 13.3 Mbps in 38 steps External Data Clock Input: Any rate up to 10 Mbps Interface Connector: TNC for each video input, 22-pin circular for power and control Input Power: 28 VDC+or-20% Power Consumption: 350 mA maximum at 28 VDC Dimensions: 94 cubic inches, 7 in. x4.5 in x3 in Weight: 50 ounces Operating Temperature Range: -40 to+85degrees Celsius MIL-STD-810 Testing MIL-STD-461 •The information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Air Force not to open the requirement to open competition, based on response to this sources sought synopsis, is solely within the discretion of the Air Force. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this sources sought synopsis. •Please note this Sources Sought Notice is for market research and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for competitive bids/proposals and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the SA-309913-01-ENC100A94-00 ENCODERS •All interested parties responding to this Sources Sought must identify their company’s capabilities to provide the requirements described herein, reference the Sources Sought number and indicate whether or not that they are a small or small disadvantaged business concern as defined in FAR 52.219-1. The NAICS code is 334200. The size standard is 750.
