22. Auto Patch Distribution Matrix
23. AMX PS4.2
24. AMX cards and multiple card slots still open
25. AMX AXP EL+ (this is mounted in the lectern, but customer wants this to go away and be replaced by a wireless touch panel)
26. AMX 64 button wireless control (customer wants this to go away. Customer says they have the existing AMX programming).
27. EV-500AF (Visual Presenter)
4. What standard of VTC do you wish to use as you primary connectivity? (H.323,H.320, H.321) ANS: H.323
5. Are you anticipating using a Gateway? ANS: Not at this time.
6. Clarify what you mean by mixed network? (Are you referring to multiple types of VTC endpoints?) ANS: Current project utilizes ISDN. Growth later may include the multiple types listed in SOW.
7. Do you want each endpoint to have direct/physical access to the IP LAN and ISDN lines? ANS: No IP LAN. VTC calls will be placed with ISDN lines.
8. Is there already a VTC solution in place? (If so, will it remain? & What type is it?) ANS: No
9. Is the network already in place to support the VTC solution you are requesting? (i.e. leased lines & network equipment) ANS: Leased Lines
10. Are you requesting to implement Voice Conferencing into a VTC call? ANS: Yes
11. Are you anticipating more than the 5 sites listed for VTC Endpoints? ANS: We anticipate a minimum of 5 sites.
12. Are you anticipating an appliance MCU (i.e. Accord MGC) or to use a CODEC based MCU? ANS: No
13. Any VTC encryption required? No
14. Is this a classified network? ANS: We are not utilizing our existing newtwork.
15. Where is the SOW referenced in the Provisions? ANS: Statement of Work
16. Is the 90 days delivery, to begin the actual work or to have it all completed? ANS: Completed
17. Will the Test acceptance scenarios be performed on the current live network? ANS: Yes on the VTC system.
18. Will other room dynamics information be made available, other than pictures? ANS: After viewing pictures, they may be available on request.
(i.e. measurements & wall materials)
Ft. Worth Site
1. How do you intend to use the single CODEC for two rooms? (One room in a VTC at a time, both rooms in the same VTC, or one room in a VTC with the other being
used with other A/V equipment?) ANS: One of the two will utilize the VTC system at one time. The existing equipment will not be shared.
Regional Sites
1. Clarify when you say the CODEC âshall connect to an ISDN, Ethernet/LAN, V.35,T1, and ATM systemâ. Are you referring to physically or logically? ANS: ISDN is the communication in place. The other types of connections are possibly for future deployments.
2. Is the statement made âmaximum data rate H.323 or 768kbpsâ accurate? ANS: H.323, 768 kpbs
3. No camera specs were given. ANS: A compact solution of VTC is needed for Regional Sites.
4. No touch panel integration required for regional sites? ANS: No
5. No encryption for audio required for regional sites? ANS: No
