Grass Valley Karerra K-Frame Switch

Added: Sep 08, 2016 3:07 pm This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

Solicitation number NNK16595561Q is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ).
The existing production switch at the KSC Press Site is a model from Grass Valley, therefore, this Brand Name upgrade is for Grass Valley components. Familiarity and compatibility with system menus, configuration and control surface layout is very similar between the current and proposed switcher, significantly expediting the amount of time required to become proficient at using the new switcher. The configuration of a production switch is very involved and detailed. Use of another brand switcher may result in extensive interface issues matching the switch to the control menus and control surface layouts.
