Standardized interface for in-flight entertainment system management -- Standard interface (ARINC 628 Part 3) cabin services management system kits standardize across 777 and 747 models, the Boeing portion of the in-flight entertainment system interface -- the cabin management system -- to airplane systems with the same interface.
A protocol for conveniently managing information. The kit establishes protocol for type of information transferred, in what format, at what rate, and where. It also establishes a protocol for electrical requirements and timing, BITE, and maintenance and control logic standards. Once installed, the kit provides a standard interface to install an ARINC 628 Part 3-compliant buyer-furnished IFE system for audio functionality, passenger services functions, video, and games.
Benefits and savings you can count on:
- Increased IFE system reliability and weight savings.
- Reduced line and shop maintenance, initial spares provisioning, and spares holding costs.
- Reduced number of line replaceable units.
- Provides IFE commonality for your fleet.
- Isolates the core interface from the technology advance for IFE.
- Reduced impact of retrofitting new IFE systems and easier IFE system upgrades.
Complete, easy-to-follow instructions for interface installation -- The kit includes a service bulletin and kit of parts containing cabin management services systems software and revisions to the airplane weight and balance, flight, and maintenance manuals; airplane wiring diagrams; and electrical loads analysis. No additional line replaceable units are necessary for installation.
