The Rockwell Collins' Airshow 4200 offers a whole new dimension of in-flight information with dynamic media that keeps pace with air travelers wherever they fly. Real-time flight information and moving maps are displayed in a rich, multimedia environment. And a simple, yet powerful, interface offers unprecedented clarity and control.

The Airshow 4200 includes native full motion video and audio capability, allowing the airline to use non-encrypted video and sound clips as part of the entertainment configuration. This eliminates the need for the Airshow Random Access Digital Video Reproducer (RADVR).

Compatible with virtually any legacy IFE system, the Airshow 4200 makes it easier than ever for passengers in the sky to remain connected to the world below.

The Airshow 4200 is capable of supporting various multimedia applications, video, audio, text and graphics for display on the aircraft's cabin monitors. In the cabin, real-time flight information is obtained from the aircraft's long range navigation and air data systems. This information is then processed, enabling the appropriate maps, points-of-interest and flight information pages to be displayed during flight. New maps, such as underwater ocean terrain and Hi-focus city views, have also been added. The systems placename database is richer and more complete than ever.

The Airshow 4200 was designed to replace previous 4 MCU Airshow units (210 and 420) to minimize installation issues. It is the same size and shape as the system it replaces, only requiring installation of a new tray and connector. No additional wiring is needed.

New hardware incorporated into the Airshow 4200 includes an 80GB ruggedized hard drive, a 1.0 GHz Pentium processor and dual ATI Radeon graphics processors, which provide the rich, multimedia graphics. In addition, a host of new input ports are available on the Airshow 4200, making it easy to run diagnostics and system checks or load new software.

The Airshow 4200 can be controlled by the IFE system or by using an Airshow Control Unit (ACU).
