on the market

M2 Presswire
SPRINGVILLE, Utah - Wencor is launching the digEsystem, a lightweight,
state of the art in-seat In-flight Entertainment (IFE) system at the
Interiors Show in Hamburg, Germany on April 5. The new system gives
passengers a wide spectrum of cabin entertainment options, including
Audio/Video On Demand (AVOD). Airlines save over half the fuel costs as
the digEsystem weighs one third of traditional IFE systems. It only
consumes one third of the power.
The digEsystem is modular and can standalone in an embedded IFE
environment. Airlines now have the option to provide entertainment to
any cabin, zone, seat or passenger on any flight, on any aircraft.
The system is flexible, scalable, and configurable with a 60 GB hard
drive, and 802.11a wireless technology network, making it easy to change
content. An USB 2.0 port is provided for optional passenger control
devices for games, keyboards, and memory sticks (future).
``We think the digEsystem is going to make a significant mark on the IFE
industry,`` said Brent Wood, CEO of Wencor. ``The cutting edge design,
ease of use and wide variety of entertainment choices on the digEsystem
will make passenger`s flying experience better than ever. No other
system on the market has so much to offer.``
A credit card reader allows the capture of funds, easing flight
attendants involvement. Once a plane lands for the day, credit card
transactions can be transferred via an encrypted wireless network. The
unit comes with an eight inch Liquid Crystal Display with a touchscreen
that gives passengers easy access to all content options.
The system is typically programmed with movies, television shows,
cartoons, videos, music, as well as airline destination information,
promotions and advertising that can provide another avenue for
generating revenue for airlines
Content can be refreshed often, giving even the most frequent flyers
enough programming variety to meet their needs. Films are usually
available three months ahead of store rentals. Many films are available
in multiple languages.
