General Information
The do CAPSULE is a combination media server and moving map computer. The unit allows
up to eight users to simultaneously stream content to a carry-on personal electronics device –
such as iPads®, iPhones®, smart phones, laptop computers and tablets. Using the FDS do
Experience application or a friendly web browser interface from Google Chrome or Safari,
content can be streamed from both of the ejectable 1 TB solid-state drives (one included) and
the external USB thumb drives simultaneously. The amount of data able to be accessed via
the do Capsule is only limited to the size of the ejectable hard drives and the USB thumb
drives. The moving map can be displayed on the user’s carry-on personal device. Both the
moving map and multi-media content can be displayed on a bulkhead monitor by hard wiring
the HDMI or VGA video output.
The do Capsule has the ability to interface with FDS Smart Cabin CMS to control many cabin
functions. This includes cabin lights, video, audio, and more.
The unit can be connected to a test Wi-Fi router or a permanently installed, certified Wi-Fi
product such as the Satcom Direct WIFI Hub. For optimal streaming performance FDS
recommends an 802.11ac router, however an 802.11n router can be used but performance
may be limited. Users simply connect to the Wi-Fi network, launch the FDS do Experience
application or type in the web address of the do Capsule. Users are then ready to access the
media and map wirelessly from their own devices. The unit has (4) rear facing USB ports.
These can be used to playback content stored directly on a thumb drive or USB hard drive.
