FDAIP-CVH Aux Input Panel - Composite, VGA, HDMI

The FDAIP-CVH is an auxiliary input panel which allows the connection of auxiliary input for carry-on devices (specifically: Composite Video, VGA, HDMI and L/R audio input signals) to the cabins entertainment system. Users can plug in laptops, gaming systems, high-definition equipment, audio devices and more. The signals can be carried to individual monitors and headsets as well as audio and video switching equipment such as the FDACS, FDHDVCS, FDVCS, and DAPS products.

For applications when the FDAIP-CVH is used in conjunction with a cabin management system, switches can be used to hide or show the input icons on the Flight Display Cabin Control Modules.

For example, the FDAIP-CVH is connected to one of the inputs on the FDVCS. The user may not want the icon on the Cabin Control Module to display unless an input device is actually plugged in. The user plugs in a laptop to the VGA connector on the FDAIP-CVH and moves the switch from the hide position to the show position. The icon for the auxiliary input device will now show up on the cabin control modules installed on Cabin Management System.

The HDMI audio is similarly controlled by a switch on the front of the FDAIP-CVH. When using an HDMI source, audio input can be switched between either RCA component connections using analog audio, or HDMI cable connections using digital audio. These changes are only needed when using the FDAIP-CVH with a Cabin Management System.
