EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
IFE System architecture and function
The NEXT System is an electronic control data and audio/video distribution
system providing digital video and audio on demand to the passenger seat. The
system architecture is modular in design, allowing for additional components
to be integrated without aircraft-side wiring changes.
NEXT System employs MPEG encoding techniques for audio/video data compression
providing high-resolution digital video and quality audio to the seats without
using excessive system bandwidth.
NEXT System also provides broadband Ethernet network connectivity between the
passenger-computing device at the seat and the head-end network equipment. The
system is used for internet data application and streaming digital audio/video
content distribution.
