4. System Description
A. Description of the Installed Systems
(1) Overhead Video
The overhead video is shown on the Hatrack Mounted Display-Units (HMDU) and on the Wall Mounted Display Units (WMDU). The HMDUs are installed in the overhead stowage compartments. The HMDUs have LCD displays that extend and retract. The HMDUs and the WDMUs can show safety information or video entertainment. The cabin crew control the operation of the HMDUs and WDMUs.
(2) In-Seat Audio
The seat sub-system is made up of Wall Disconnect Boxes (WDB), Seat Electronic Boxes (SEB) and digital Passenger Control Units (PCU). Two series of WDB provide the interface, power and communication between the Main Multiplexer (MUX) and the SEB throughout the aircraft. An SEB decodes digitized audio data from the MUX and supplies the resulting analog audio to one, two, or three connected audio jacks.
(3) IFE System Control
The system control unit, Crew/Control Panel (CP) controls the media server. The CP sends analog video from the media server to the Tapping Units (TU), which in turn supplies the signals to the monitors. The CP can support two columns of TUs. The CP also sends the video's analog audio component to the audio system.
(4) Maintenance Functions
The maintenance mode is used to enter or download the aircraft and video system configuration and route structure information into the IFE system. This mode is also used to run a IFE system self test.
(5) Overhead Video
The overhead video is shown on the Hatrack Mounted Display-Units (HMDUs) and on the Wall Mounted Display-Unit (WMDUs). The HMDUs are installed in the overhead stowage compartments and they have LCD displays that extend and retract.
The Wall Mounted Display-Unit (WMDUs) are installed on the monuments in front of the Business Class (B/C) seat passengers and on the partitions in front of the Economy Class (E/C) passenger seats.
All the DUs can show safety information or video entertainment. The cabin crew control the operation of all DUs.
(6) In-Seat Audio
The seat sub-system is made up of Wall Disconnect Boxes (WDBs), Seat Electronic Boxes (SEBs) and digital Passenger Control Units (PCUs). Two series of WDB provide the interface, power and communication between the Main Multiplexer (MUX) and the SEBs throughout the aircraft. A SEB decodes digitized audio data from the MUX and supplies the resulting analog audio to one, two, or three connected audio jacks.
(7) IFE System Control
The Control Panel (CP) controls the digital server. The CP sends analog video from the digital server to the Tapping Units (TUs), which in turn supplies the signals to the monitors. The CP can support two columns of TUs. The CP also sends the video's analog audio component to the audio system.
(8) Maintenance Functions
The maintenance mode is used to enter or download the aircraft and video system configuration and route structure information into the IFE system. This mode is also used to run a IFE system self test.
(9) General
The functions of the Passenger Entertainment System (PES) are controlled and supplied from the Video Control Center (VCC). Video, audio and system control signals are sent from the VCC through the Local Area Network (LAN) and then through supply units to the overhead speakers and seat components.
The PES is a software-based system. The system controller and the supply components store their own instructions (application software). The upgrade of the system software of these components do not need a hardware change.
(10) IFE System Control
The cabin attendants control the operation of the IFE system from the Video Control Center (VCC) 10MH. A removable display unit 11MH, installed in the VCC, lets the cabin attendants move through different menus on-screen. All selections are made through the touch sensitive crew panel (CP) screen.
