enrollment workstation. Once an image has been captured, it shall be treated as part of the user database
and may be called up for visual ID confirmation at any other workstation equipped with a video imaging
module, or used for badge production and printing.

2.7.2 Badge Making Software

By this software, it shall be possible for direct acquisition of images through video camera or from passport
size photographs through colour scanners. Brightness and contrast shall be adjustable on stored
photographs.

The system shall allow company logos, tenets photographs & signatures, and text in English and Arabic to be
printed in different formats and different overlays.

System shall use image compression techniques to minimize space usage and shall produce images at 24
bit and at 16.7 million colours.

The system shall support the temporary storage of up to four sample shots which shall be displayed on the
enrolment station simultaneously. From these four sample shots, the most acceptable will be printed and then
stored in the database. The system shall support storage of up to two of these views and a signature image.

The badge maker software shall provide full badge design capabilities at the enrollment station. The badge
shall be designed in a fully interactive mode, with a real-time display of its current form during the process. It

Page 14 of 20

shall also be drawn using the high-resolution mode of the video display module, for maximum accuracy and
faithful reproduction of finished badges. Each new badge template will be stored for rapid retrieval and
application, during user badge production. The completed badges shall be available for high-resolution
viewing at any time. The system shall support multiple templates and provide for linking each specific template
to a cardholder type.

The design of the badge shall be fully flexible. A comprehensive set of design tools shall be provided which
are feature rich and easy to use. They shall also include:

a) Fully mouse driven

b) Pull-down menus
c) User controlled picture sizes, front view, side view, and signature
d) Fully integrated to card access database
e) Fully integrated to user-defined database fields
f) Several font styles to choose from
g) Photographic logos
h) Digitized symbols
i) Each object can have conditional attributes
j) User controlled stacking of objects
k) Standard drawing objects (lines, circles, squares)
l) Multiple colours for lines and fill patterns
m) Ability to drag and resize objects

Because all the information required, including the video image, is stored in the user database, it shall be
possible to provide replacement badges without needing new photo-images or additional data entry.

The system shall be capable of importing graphics (e.g., objects, pictures, etc. in bmp format) for use in the
photo-badge design.

The system shall support the import of .JPG images (digital photographs) of cardholders.

All badges shall be printed on a high quality video printer system, direct-to-PVC technology for safe, high-
resolution image reproduction. Single or batch mode printing of badges shall be provided, limited only by the
capacity of the video printer utilized. The cards shall be printed at a minimum resolution of 300 DPI.

2.7.3 Printer

Printer shall be of the latest state of the art technology and shall be ideal for applications requiring production
of full color dual sided plastic identification cards and shall be able to print sharp, readable bar codes, ID
photos, graphics and text etc. edge to edge in seconds.

It shall be based on color dye sublimation method, UL listed and shall have the following minimum features:
(Refer Section 2.4)
