Question: 16 I have another question concerning the AV service panels. It asks for "two digital audio and video inputs from camera". Please confirm that this for roving cameras in addition to the installed PTZ cameras? We need to size the switcher accordingly.

Answer: 16 Correct, the "two digital audio and one video input" is for roving cameras

Follow-up - During the site survey it was discussed that the audio inputs were to be balanced analog and not digital. Please confirm. If they are to be digital, is the requirement for balanced AES, unbalanced AES, or SPDIF?

HD-SDI video inputs from camera"

"Question: 20. Do you require stereo in the rooms (the spec says hi fidelity sound)?

Answer: 20. Yes."

Page 3 of the service description: "-One (1) Sound reinforcement system configured into four (4) zones, one zone per room, with ceiling mounted speakers tuned to deliver clear voice from microphone and high fidelity sound from A/V playback devices. Speakers to resemble standard 2' x 2' dropped ceiling tiles (white)."

Follow-up - During the Site survey, we asked if stereo programming speakers were required and the response was no. Also, per the service description, each room is only to have one mono speaker zone and not stereo.

Is there a requirement for stereo program speakers per room?

Is the requirement for one or two zones of ceiling speakers per room?

Answer: #4. No stereo, one zone per room.
