1. Display Unit
The Display Unit (DU) will be located in the area just forward of the throttles
and the Autobrake Control Panel, between both FMS MCDUs. The DU will
be mounted in a sunken position in a new plate at an angle of 20 degrees
(parallel to the MCDUs). The DU consists of a 6.4 inch LCD with a
150-degree viewing angel. On the DU itself are no controls.

It will be located directly aft the F/O’s Audio Control Panel. The panel will
be equipped with a Power Switch (POWER), a 4-position camera selector
(VIEW) , a Back-light standby button (STBY) and a Display back light
selector (DIM).
3. Camera
The CEVS utilises black and white, near infrared video cameras with a
90-degree field of view. The camera assembly is built into a reading light
housing. The cameras are adjusted in such a way that as much as possible of
the intended area is visible on the DU.

• Camera 1, in the ceiling panel directly aft of the cockpit door. This
camera faces aft and covers the area aft of door 11 and 21.
• Camera 2, above and aft door 11. This camera faces inboard/forward and
covers the area from door 11 to the coatroom.
