Decoder

Notice of Contract Action for a Sole Source Procurement SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR a decoder and clock stabilizer. DESC: INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT WITH ViaSat Inc. The Air Force, Edwards Air Force Base, CA intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to ViaSat, Inc. 1935 Cordell Ct., El Cajon, CA 92020-0911. The Sole Source purchase will be a decoder and clock stabilizer. 1. Decoder - SA-309379-01 DEC100005-00 Standard Features QTY: 1 Description: The decoder receives digitized video signals from the encoder via any type of digital communications link. The decoder accepts the digital video signal from the communications link devices in a digital data and digital clock format, and then coverts these signals back to the original standard NTSC color analog television picture. After performing the required decoding functions, the Model DEC1000R5 outputs a standard NTSC color video signal suitable for either recording or viewing on a color television monitor. The color video compression decoder has the capability of being connected into the system at any time from the beginning of the session. The system operating parameters are automatically derived from information contained within the compressed video data stream. No handshake with the encoder is required, because the decoder will output the first full picture received. The decoder is capable of achieving data synchronization upon presentation of the data and clock signals. The data demultiplexer or optional communications demultiplexer allows restoration of data from a similarly equipped encoder.
