Cabin electronics specialist Flight Display Systems (FDS) of Alpharetta, Ga. is introducing nine new products here, anchored by its “do” suite of clean-sheet cabin entertainment solutions. “This is not about products and part numbers, it’s about the “do” experience,” said Bill Cathcart, vice president of sales and marketing.

The four products at the core of the experience are the do Capsule, which provides the control interface for operating streaming media and other features wirelessly; do 3D, providing 2-D and 3-D in-flight maps; the Edge series of monitors, at one-inch the thinnest onboard monitor available, according to FDS; and do 360, providing access to an extensive collection of in-flight movies and other entertainment, including DRM content of the latest Hollywood offerings.

FDS (Booth C7824) has partnered with Global Eagle Entertainment, the primary provider of digital rights management (DRM) content to the world’s airlines, for its do 360 option.

The do products don’t use the Internet. FDS president and CEO Reed Macdonald said even upcoming NextGen satellite connectivity services won’t have the bandwidth to serve a business jet cabin full of passengers adequately, and even if they were capable, the data costs would be high. The do suite includes dual removable servers that can be quickly loaded with content.

Moreover, do 360’s DRM content is offered in a flat rate subscription service, with no additional per-view charges. MacDonald said the company will announce subscription prices soon, and do 360 will be available in the first quarter of next year.
