Description of Requirements:
This procurement allows for brand name or equal products.

This requirement is to procure three (3) Wellav DMP900 encoding chassis and associated modules (OR EQUAL), each with the ability to encode up to twelve (12) HD video signals; ten (10) Wellav DMP900 transcoding chassis and associated modules with the ability transcode up to eight (8) HD video channels back to SD and two hundred (200) HD decoders.

Each encoding/transcoding equipment chassis will support redundant power supplies. This will allow the Network Control Center (NCC) staff to fulfill its role in the upcoming migration of Voice of America (VOA) video content to High Definition (HD) and to accomplish its program distribution mission. The encoding equipment will be used in NCC to originate the HD transport streams for distribution worldwide. The transcoding equipment will be used at the gateway facilities in Prague, Germany, Kuwait and Tinang (Philippines) for subsequent uplinking to the Eutelsat Hotbird, NSS-12 and Asiasat seven (7) satellites.

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is manufactured by Wellav Technologies and the new items/services must coordinate, connect or interface with the existing system in order to maintain high efficiency and standardization.
