QUESTION 1: Are we providing the codec as well?

ANSWER: Yes, the vendor is to provide and install the codec with all necessary equipment, including the cameras. The best codec will be a Cisco SX80 or equivalent.

QUESTION 2: Are we to provide wired or wireless touch panels, how many and where are they to be located?

ANSWER: Yes, vendors are to provide wireless touch panel (1) and it should be located at the podium.

QUESTION 3: We will supply a video switcher with HDMI capabilities?

ANSWER: Yes, the vendor will provide the required video/audio switching with HDMI capabilities.

QUESTION 4: Is there a coax feed cable TV being provided at the equipment rack or at the podium?

ANSWER: The coax feed cable for TV will be located on the equipment rack.

QUESTION 5: Do we provide the codec and cameras but not install them?

ANSWER: Vendors are to provide and install codec and cameras.

QUESTION 6: Are we providing a podium and, if so, is the equipment to be located in the podium or in a new equipment rack in the back of room?

ANSWER: Vendor provides the podium. Split system - Codec/control system, Audio Amps, TV Tuner, Wireless Mic Receivers, etc. in the back closet rack. All pushbutton access to front panels of rack mounted equipment shall be protected with tamper resistant rack covers.

(Example: Audio levels for all audio input/output will be with be controlled via a touch screen audio mixer screen. Similar touch screen access will be provided for all other user adjustable settings, I/O, TV Tuner, etc.). The Podium will contain the Blu-ray/DVD player, Local IT Department supplied computer, keyboard, mouse, laptop connections (video, audio/AC power), a goose-neck podium mic and the Touch Screen control panel. The user should have no reason to access the rear closet equipment rack. All access will be at the podium. Wireless mics, handheld and lapel, will be stored in a lockable drawer in the podium.

QUESTION 7: The scope of work indicates that “there will be no remote computer access to the system, all necessary maintenance and/or updates will need to be provided on site.” The new codec requires an ethernet link to the internet to function unless the system is to be used on a closed government LAN. If this is the case, it will only be able to connect to other video conferencing equipment on that private LAN. Will the IT department clarify the connection Ethernet connection of the video conferencing equipment and will this be provided by them?

ANSWER: The codec will be on the VA network. It is completely managed by us. We have avenues to dial outside the VA network if needed. But it will primarily be used for VA network video conferencing, on our network, managed by us.
