New cabin management and in-flight entertainment solution
enhances cabin experience, provides incremental growth
paths
DALLAS, March 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE:
RTX) business, unveiled its Venue™ smart monitor at the Aircraft
Electronics Association Convention & Trade Show's new product
introduction showcase in Dallas,
Texas.
The new smart monitor can function as a standalone in-flight
entertainment (IFE) solution or fully within the Venue cabin
management system (CMS). Embedded smart technology and a robust
processing platform simplifies future software updates and enables
seamless integration of Collins' suite of IFE products, including
Airshow® moving maps and Stage™ on demand entertainment.
The smart monitor enables installation flexibility, giving
customers options to upgrade their CMS and IFE solutions in a
cost-effective, phased approach.
"The Venue smart monitor provides operators and their passengers
with a single access point to completely control cabin
functionality, individual comfort and entertainment options," said
Marc Ayala, senior director of
sales, Business & Regional Aviation for Collins Aerospace. "The
smart monitor enables simple software updates, third party add-ons
and the flexibility for owners to incrementally grow their IFE and
CMS capabilities at a pace that fits their individual needs."
Five different monitor sizes and 4K ultra high-definition options provide pristine
resolution and viewing enjoyment to fit a variety of cabin
configurations and aircraft of all sizes. The intuitive graphical
user interface offers a consistent user experience across
touchscreen monitors, mobile applications and cabin touch
panels.
The all-inclusive smart monitor also reduces redundancies,
replacing legacy Airshow moving maps bulkhead displays and
consolidating hardware on board the aircraft. This technology and
hardware integration optimizes power usage and reduces overall
carry weight, which in turn decreases fuel burn and associated
carbon emissions.
