Specifically, the server must pass all metadata and other data in the VANC and HANC including line 21, 508, 608, and 708 data. The system shall ignore these fields or present them when appropriate during ingesting or playback. The system shall move the content to the appropriate field during ups and down converting for SD and HD playback. 4.The server shall have input/output channels hot swappable without the need for a system shutdown or re-boot. 5.The server shall have input/output channels that are bi-directional. 6.The servers output channels must support DV-25, DVCPRO 25, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, MPEG-2 I-frame only, MPEG-2 Long GOP, and IMX codecs, all of which can be played back-to-back without transcoding. 7.The server shall support simultaneous creation of H.264 proxy files. 8.The server output channels must support both high definition and standard definition video. 9.The servers output channels must be available with up, down, and cross conversion (HD to SD, SD to HD) with appropriate aspect ratio signaling to downstream equipment. 10.The automation/server interface shall support both serial (VDCP, BVW and AVC) over RS-422 and TCP/IP (through native API) protocols. This will enable advanced server media management and play-to-air control features. 11.The server system shall support Harris ADC automation using VDCP control protocol. 12.The timing of each output channel shall be individually set with respect to the reference signal. 13.The server shall have the ability to record, store, and play back multiple formats of media simultaneously including but not limited to: DV 25 DVCPRO 25 DVCPRO 50 MPEG-2 I-Frame Only IMX 30/40/50 MPEG-2 Long GOP HDCAM XDCAM-HD HDV720p XDCAM-EX AVC-I 50/100 14.The server shall support QuickTime self-contained and reference format files as well as MXF MXF Op1a eVTR/AS-02/RDD9/Low Latency and MXF Op1b wrappers natively. 15.The server shall provide VBI and VANC support including the storage and retransmission of relevant metadata. 16.The server shall support closed captioning track extraction from files for metadata availability in browsing, QC, and multi-format file export. Server Operating System and Networking 1.The OS shall be optimized for real-time operations specific to the servers unique functions. 2.The server shall be able to support up to 400 Mbps of video I/O bandwidth. 3.The server shall have a fault tolerant configuration with no single point of failure. 4.The server shall be monitored by system management software and alarm in the event of failure. 5.The server system shall include multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections for asynchronous file system access and file transfers. 6.The server system shall support standard network protocols including SFTP, FTP, SMB, and AFP natively without the use of a gateway. 7.The server system shall enable network-based control via Gigabit Ethernet. 8.The server system must be IPv6 compatible. 9.The server OS must be compatible with and supported by Trend Micro Deep Security Anti Malware. 10.The server OS must be compatible with and supported by Symantec NetBackup. 11.Operating System preferences are Redhat Enterprise Linux 64 bit version 6.X or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. 12.The integrated video solution shall be designed so that it can be support video I/O request latencies less than 3ms located at least 2000 meters separate from the video ingest appliances and other input / output equipment. 13.Network switch components included in the system shall be Cisco branded.
