Emirates selects Rockwell Collins Airshow 4200D for Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s
DUBAI (November 12, 2007) - Emirates Airline has selected Rockwell Collins to provide its Airshow 4200D Moving Map and Flight Information System for the
airline's Boeing 777 and A380 fleet.
"For nearly two decades, Emirates Airlines has led the way in offering their passengers the latest in Airshow moving map systems,"
said Tommy Dodson, Vice President and General Manager of Cabin Systems for Rockwell Collins. "The selection of our newest
moving map product for Emirates' 777 fleet, and for the 55 A380s it has ordered, will give passengers the ability to track
their flight on high definition maps in digital widescreen formats."
The Airshow 4200D is the most recent addition to the Rockwell Collins Airshow Moving Map family, incorporating a new digital
video interface, designed specifically to take advantage of the latest generation of inflight entertainment (IFE) systems.
The new interface provides a true, all-digital display, omitting the limitations common with analog video signals and real-time
analog-to-digital encoders.
In addition to the new digital video output, Airshow 4200D now offers the choice to display in a native widescreen format.
Passengers enjoy a truly widescreen experience of their flight's progress, along with all the popular Airshow 4200 features.
