1.0 Purpose

This SOO describes the goals that USCG ALC expects regarding the audio/video installation in all five

(5) training/conference rooms in HMF. The primary goal is to have two (2) Crestron systems; one (1)

Model PRO2 and one (1) Model PRO3; removed and replaced with upgraded systems that will satisfy the technical objectives shown in 5.1 through 5.1.8.
