Collins Aerospace has announced that its Venue smart monitor will enter service on a Dassault Falcon 7X in November. The smart monitor, integrated with Airshow HD, is an all-in-one entertainment solution for business aviation, providing 4K resolution, flight information and streaming entertainment. Dassault Falcon Jet’s service centre in Little Rock, Arkansas will install two smart monitors with Airshow HD into the cabin bulkhead.
The Venue smart monitor streamlines Airshow HD cabin entertainment into one consolidated unit, providing customers with an elegant in-flight entertainment (IFE) entry point. The system is designed to eliminate excess hardware, reducing aircraft power consumption and simplifying on-going maintenance.
“The activation of the first Venue smart monitor with Airshow HD marks a significant shift in business aviation in-flight entertainment, bringing pristine resolution, streaming content and an enhanced user interface,” said Craig Bries, vice president and general manager of Commercial Avionics at Collins Aerospace. “The standalone system is flexible and simple to install, enabling phased upgrade paths to meet a variety of entertainment needs, cabin layouts and budgets.”
The solution includes the Airshow HD mobile application, which can be downloaded onto user mobile devices. The Venue smart monitor with Airshow HD is available in five sizes with touchscreen and ultra-high-definition options available.
