playout from TV 2’s Harmonic/Omneon playout servers without transcoding.
The cameras
should act as “connected cameras” i.e. should be possible to download assignment
metadata to the camera and it should be possible to upload media and metadata
from the camera to the production and planning systems. Finally, TV 2 wishes to
live stream directly from the connected cameras.

framework agreement will have a duration of three (3) years. TV 2 is entitled
to extend the framework agreement for one (1) year, which means that the framework
agreement can have a maximum duration of four (4) years.
