Performance Work Statement (PWS)

1. Title of Project: AVID MEDIA COMPOSER UPGRADES

2. Background: The VHA Institute of Learning, Education, and Development (ILEAD) Production and Delivery Division maintains an Avid Media Central non-linear video editing system located at the video facility in St. Louis, Missouri. The Avid system includes six Media Composer workstations, Production Management, Media Asset Management, and Nexis shared storage.

ILEAD intends to purchase and install four new HP Z8 G5 Avid Media Composer edit workstations to replace four existing Avid workstations. All Media Composer workstation hardware and software configurations must be vetted and approved by Avid for use with the VA-owned Media Central system. The VA will transfer the Media Composer software licenses from the existing workstations to these new workstations.
