OTV-S DIGITAL VIDEO ROUTNG SWITCHER This acquisition is for one (1) digital video vertical interval switching system capable of providing X-Y non-blocking routing of any 384 video inputs to any and all 640 video outputs. The switching system shall provide a single level 96 input by 96 output analog audio matrix. Module frames and wiring shall be provided for video matrix expansion to 384 inputs by 768 outputs and audio matrix expansion to two full levels of 128 inputs by 128 outputs. No single point failure of thesystem shall result in the loss of more than 64 video input or 64 video output paths. The video input and output formats shall be Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) Standard 259M (C&D). A switch control system shall be provided. The switcher video and audio output control panels shall be configurable as single output control panels, dual output panels, five output control panels and full function X-Y control panels. The X-Y control panel shall support full in and out configuration control of the switching matrix. The control system shall provide four full function X-Y panels. All control panels shall be operational for distances up to 1000 feet away from the switching system. Control bus design shall allow independent user panel operation where no single failure point will affect more than 64 outputs. The switching system shall provide an industry standard external interface that will allow full switcher control and status functionality via a Government Control System. The external interface should be Ethernet 100 base-T. The switching system should include the ability to accomplish sequencing, salvos, evoke system diagnostics, and display and store switcher status data. Factory acceptance test(s) shall be at the Contractor facility and a final on-site acceptance test shall be at the Kennedy Space Center, FL. The acceptance test procedure shall be submitted with the proposal for review and approval by the Government. (0120)
