• Is there a TAA requirement for this request?
Items should be TAA compliant as it is a federal law.
• Will there be an opportunity to offer an expanded system beyond the base equipment noted in the Salient Characteristics document? Before or after the award? We would offer a system in line with others we have installed at other locations that might offer more functionality.
Yes, we offer the opportunity in the event the system being offered is more capable and meets the requirements we are seeking.

• Power supply unit for Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G: 1 - Is this request for the Power Supply Only, or is a new device required? Reusing existing equipment?
This is a 5v usb c power converter needed for the SDI video extender. The power supply should be included along with the sdi converter
• Power Conditioner with Sequencing, Safe Voltage, Coax and Ethernet Protection | 12 Outlets: 1 - Is this a rack mount unit or a power strip?
This unit is rack mounted. It is critical that the unit have “safe voltage” which provides both undervoltage and over voltage protection
• 8 Channel Mic/Line Mixer: 1 - Does this mixer require front panel control knobs or can a digital solution be offered?
Analog front panel controls are preferable.
• Power supply unit for Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G: 1 - Is this request for the Power Supply Only, or is a new device required? Reusing existing equipment?
The power supply unit is needed to power the sdi converters. There is no existing equipment that will be reused.
• Does the image on the projector and the smart board need to be shared? Are these separate and independent systems?
These are separate systems and do not need to share video sources.
• Does the audio from the projector system and the smart board system need to be passed to the speaker system?
The audio from the projection system needs to be transmitted through the speaker system.
The audio from the smart board does not.
• Are both the projector and the smart board system in the same room?
Yes, they will both be in the same room.
• The SOW asks for 6 surface mount speakers. We assume the room has a drop tile ceiling, would speakers in the drop tile ceiling work for this application instead of wall mount?
Yes, drop tile ceiling can work as well.
