OVERVIEW
The Rockwell Collins digital audio/video cabin management solution,
part of our Airshow 21 system, applies proven technology and advanced connectivity
capabilities to provide customers with a robust standard in information, entertainment
and environmental control systems. Today’s passengers have greater expectations than
ever, requiring the level of capability they have in their home and office
environment aboard the aircraft. These requirements are driving new levels
of system integration and reliability into the business aircraft cabin environment. Highlights of the Collins digital audio/video cabin management system
include:
Proven Technology
The Rockwell Collins digital audio/video cabin management system is
an enhancement of the CMS cabin system components and technologies currently
operating onboard business aircraft worldwide. While offering the flexibility
and capacity to handle growing high-bandwidth requirements, many of the components
are derived from products that have proven operational reliability.
Open Architecture and Growth Capacity
The digital CMS is fully compatible and utilizes the CMS components
(switch panels, controllers, remote control) along with Rockwell Collins displays
and source equipment. In addition, a broad range of industry-standard interfaces
provide maximum flexibility for expanding functionality through the integration
of third-party components.
Integrated Design
With audio, video and cabin control integrated into a digital backbone,
the Rockwell Collins digital audio/video cabin management system offers a
level of integration not previously available in the cabin. The benefits
are numerous, including reduced weight, volume, wiring, centralized maintenance
and diagnostics, and system configuration flexibility.
Ease of Installation
The systems backbone loop architecture ensures ease of installation
and simplifies system modifications, either during the completion process
or in the field. It also improves aircraft completion flow times by reducing
the effort required to reconfigure interiors when adding or removing monitors
or source equipment. Satellite television and satellite radio features can
be added with little impact on the interior installation.
System Reliability
As users become more dependent on cabin functionality, the demand for
system reliability is increasing. The new Collins digital audio/video cabin
management system sets the standard. The system takes advantage of proven
technology to ensure system availability and outstanding aircraft dispatch
rates. Furthermore, the system features advanced, self-healing capabilities
and a centralized maintenance and diagnostics system, further increasing overall
availability and expediting maintenance and support.
DESCRIPTION
The backbone of the Rockwell Collins digital audio/video cabin management
system is a high-speed, IEEE 1394a, data network operating at 400 Mbps. Since
the audio and video signals need guaranteed delivery without interruption,
they are carried over the IEEE 1394a isochronous channels. The system is
configured in a simple ring topology that eases installation and reduces system
weight (i.e., long, bulky cable runs). In addition, the ring topology uses
common wiring and digital interface box (DIB) bypass connectors that enable
the backbone wiring to be installed in production aircraft independent of
the specific aircraft configuration. Each DIB is designed with separate power
feeds within the cabling for the IEEE 1394a link layer power and LRU power.
This allows data to continue to be passed through the DIB in the unlikely
event of a DIB power supply failure. Following are brief descriptions of system components:
Area Distribution Box
The area distribution box (ADB) distributes broadcast audio and broadcast
video through the high performance IEEE 1394a network and provides DIB network
power and connectivity to the CMS components.
Decoder Digital Interface Box
The decoder digital interface box (DDIB) provides real time decoding
of the digital isochronous IEEE 1394a channels and analog outputs. A DDIB
connects directly to the IEEE 1394a bus and provides up to three daughter
cards with real time decoders. Each daughter card has an analog video output
and two analog stereo pair outputs. A DDIB can provide a great variety of
outputs in a variety of configurations. For example, all of these are possible:
Three video with three independent audio (for surfing audio
and video independently) Two video with two independent audio and two audio-only outputs One video with one independent audio and four audio-only outputs No video and six audio-only outputs Three video with associated audio (no surfing A/V independently)
plus three independent audio Two video with associated audio (no surfing A/V independently)
plus four independent audio One video with associated audio (no surfing A/V independently)
plus five independent audio
Encoder Digital Interface Box
The encoder digital interface box (EDIB) performs real-time analog conversion.
An EDIB can contain up to three encoders. Each encoder is a separate daughter
card installed in the DIB. Each encoder card can accept a variety of analog
video signals and an associated analog stereo pair. The output of each encoder
is a digital signal carried on one of the IEEE 1394a isochronous data channels.
Typical EDIB Inputs: Wing or belly cameras Carry-on audio sources such as MP-3 players Carry-on video sources such as movie cameras DVD players, VCRs and CD players Satellite Radio and TV Virtually any third-party audio/video source equipment
