IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
The In-Flight Entertainment System provides the passengers with real-
time flight information through the Airshow system and video/audio
entertainment through a DVD player, a VHS video cassette player and
a CD changer.
An In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) control switch on the IFE Panel,
installed in the Cockpit Overhead Panel, controls the In-Flight
Entertainment System.
The DVD Player and the Video Cassette Player are independent units
and both are connected to the Video System Control Unit. These two
units are controlled by basic commands such as: play, rewind, forward
and stop. A controller selects and controls the Airshow system
exhibition mode.
The Video signal is exhibited on 10” monitors and on 6.4” monitors
distributed in the passenger cabin. The Video System Control Unit
(VSCU) selects the signal, and allows image viewing on the Preview
Unit before the selected video signal is distributed to the monitors. The
video and audio outputs will be determined by an operator command,
from a switch located on the VSCU front panel.
The flight attendant defines the selection, composition and sequence
of the video pictures and audio briefing at the time the Air Show is
ordered. These can include:
Geographic Maps of flight routes that show in real time the airplane
position, previous flight path and planned route;
Multi-language location names and interest points on the map;
Multi-language flight information (e.g., ground speed, altitude,
temperature, distance and times);
Customized graphics, including customized logos and
announcements;
Audio briefings for safety and/or personal announcements.
A discrete signal from the Passenger Address mutes the Airshow
Audio during announcements. A discrete signal from the No Smoking
and Fasten Seat belts switches in the cockpit causes the Airshow to
display an appropriate message.
