A new user interface and 4K
smart monitors improve system performance, simplify operations and
enhance inflight entertainment
LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins
Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, announced the first
deliveries of its new Venue™ cabin management system (CMS). The
upgraded Venue is equipped with Collins' all new smart monitors and
upgraded graphical user interface (GUI), enhancing entertainment,
usability and simplicity for operators and passengers, alike.
With more than 1,700 installations on over 50 aircraft models,
Venue is not only the most fielded system of its kind but continues
its technological evolution with 4K-enabled resolutions, comprehensive cabin
controls and a redesigned user interface, providing a simplified,
consistent user experience across its advanced touchscreens, seat
controls and mobile application.
"The enhanced user interface and smart architecture not only
advance Venue's market-leading capabilities and dependability, but
also establish a firm foundation on which customers can seamlessly
build onto their system as future technology upgrades become
available," said Nathan Voight, vice
president and general manager, Business and Regional Avionics at
Collins Aerospace. "Collins' network of trusted dealer partners has
been instrumental in the integration and deployment of our upgraded
Venue system, evolving the inflight experience to what passengers
expect in ground applications."
The Venue smart monitor can integrate directly into a whole
cabin Venue system or function as a standalone inflight
entertainment (IFE) solution, allowing customers to experience
their favorite movies, shows, personal content or Collins' HD
Airshow in ultra-high definition.
Available in five sizes, the versatile smart monitor provides
flexible integration options and streamlined software upgrades for
everything from VVIP aircraft to very light jets. The new system is
compact, consolidating underfloor hardware directly into the
monitor's robust internal processor that not only reduces carry
weight but also conserves power consumption.
The elegantly upgraded GUI features a modernized menu structure
and consistent iconography across device interfaces, simplifying
cabin controls with intuitive features that require fewer
touchpoints to achieve desired results.
Demonstrations of the enhanced Venue system with smart monitor
and upgraded GUI are available at Collins Aerospace booth #2041
during the 2024 NBAA-BACE show in Las
Vegas, Nevada.
