PHASE I - RESEARCH AND DESIGN
Phase I starts with a needs analysis and a conceptual diagram. An initial system block design, equipment research, development of standards and specification that support the conceptual design is identified. The overall system costs, generic or specific items of equipment with quantities, performance specifications and basic floor plans if appropriate. The completion of Phase I is critical in determining the total system performance specifications ensure compatibility with all the components that will be refined and identified in Phase II Design.
PHASE II - FINALIZE CONFIGURATION
Phase II refines the research and design findings from Phase I. Phase II develops an executable plan for the single line system wiring and mechanical work necessary in the project. Budgets are prepared inclusive of specific line item equipment lists. Purchasing is set in place and the project timelines and installation schedules are finalized. Rack elevations and floor plans are completed and with the completion of Phase II. A cable database is developed, produced, and prepared for installation.
PHASE III - INSTALLATION
Phase III is the installation phase, and ordering equipment has started. TVM will maintain supervisory authority and responsibility for installation. TVM will select and procure all installation materials, including cable, connectors, temporary and final labels, pins, hoods, and other installation requirements. TVM will abide by all local, state, and federal rules and regulations, as well as, the standards and practices as set forth by the various broadcast rules organizations and governing bodies. TVM will adhere to good engineering practices in the end-to-end design and installation of the facility.
PHASE IV - SYSTEM TESTING
Phase IV consists of system configuration, testing, proof-of-performance, and system alignment after all equipment has been installed and aligned to achieve the performance specifications defined in Phase I and finalized in Phase II. When Phase IV is complete, the facility is fully operational.
PHASE V - TRAINING AND DELIVERY
Phase V consists of the delivery of the completed, fully operational systems to the client.
