- Live Wall Media Video Processor. Extended to 9/24/2021 Corrected original closing date from 9/21/2021 to 9/22/2021 The new closing date is 9/24/2021(extension)�(Questions due 9/23/2021). Questions & Response (9/23/2021) Question 1-5 80NSSC21777222Q-R1 Questions & Answers Please see the below response to Questions: The Solicitation Synopsis and RFQ/SOW state: �This is a Brand Name or Equal to requirement.�� But neither document identifies the specific models of Live Wall Media products that are to be matched. Per the FAR: 11.107 Solicitation provision. (a) Insert the provision at 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal, when brand name or equal purchase descriptions are included in a solicitation. Question 1: Why is 52.211-6 not included in this solicitation?� Answer to Questions 1: The clause has been added to the RFQ. 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal. (a) If an item in this solicitation is identified as �brand name or equal,� the purchase description reflects the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the Government�s needs. The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that �equal� products must meet are specified in the solicitation. (d) Unless the offeror clearly indicates in its offer that the product being offered is an �equal� product, the offeror shall provide the brand name product referenced in the solicitation. There is no Live Wall Media product referenced in the solicitation.� There is a mention of the existing Live Wall Media product, a VP40M Video Wall Processor that was procured in 2014.� But there is no mention of the currently desired Live Wall Media product by model number so that an offerer can ensure they are offering an equal product. Question 2: What is the source of the requirements in SOW 5.2 and 5.3?� If they are from the Brand Name product, please provide the Manufacture and Model number that is referenced. Answer to Questions 2: There is no single Manufacture and Model number for these requirements. The requirements are a result of market research into reasonable features that the ATOL needs according to present technology. Question 3: What are the Manufacturer and Model Number of the Brand Name products for each of the following deliverables in SOW 7.1: Video Wall Processor Video Output Cards 4K/60 Video Input Cards 4K/60 Streaming Video Inputs 4K/30� Answer to Questions 3: There is no single Manufacture and Model number for these requirements. The requirements are a result of market research into reasonable features that the ATOL needs according to present technology. The Solicitation Synopsis and RFQ/SOW state: �This is a Brand Name or Equal to requirement.�� But neither Question 4: Why does 7.1 require 12x 4K outputs when the displays to be connected (no more than 12) are only HD (1920x1090)?� 12x HD outputs are sufficient to drive either the 3x3 Wall B or the 4x3 Wall B at full native resolution.� A 4K output driving an HD panel will just scale its output to HD.� The 4K output gives no additional benefit over an HD output.� When connected to a 2x2 or larger display, both will render the 4K input at the same full native 4K display. Thus a 4K output card is excess to the requirement by a factor of four.� See below info for background. Each 4K output is 3840x2160, or 8.3M pixels.� Thus the 12 4K outputs together can drive a wall of 99.5M pixels (4x3 of UHD/4k panels). But the existing video wall B for the requested processor is on a 3x3 of 1080 panels which is 5760x3240 which is only 18.6M pixels. (ref 2.1.2) and Wall A is 7680x3240pixels, or 24.9M pixels. The highest existing pixel demand is Wall A at 24.9M pixels.� This would be exactly met by 12 HD Outputs (12x1920x1080=24.9M).� The 12 4K outputs with 99.5M pixels exceed this by a factor of four. Even if the video wall is upgraded, any new panels would not exceed the current 1920x1080 resolution.� Thus there doesn�t appear to be any current or future need for a 99.5M pixel output. Answer to Questions 4: The 4K requirement is to allow for the planned upgrade of the video wall displays to individual 4K displays in the future for flexibility. Question 5: What system need is driving the requirement for 12 4K output cards? Answer to Questions 5: The processor needs to be able to provide 4K video to displays located elsewhere in the ATOL beyond the 3x3 (9 display) video wall. The processor�s twelve (12) 4K output cards allows the processor to also be used on a 4x3 (12 display) video wall when the need arises. End of questions/answers.
