10.4” CMS Touch Screen Monitor

The CMS Touch Screen has been designed
to allow the operator control of the many
different functions of the cabin through a
10.4” colour LCD screen with a touch panel
overlay. A series of menu pages allows the
operator to select the operation required
with a touch of the screen, paging through
the menu options.

The CMS screens have been purpose designed to offer a clear and simple method of
controlling the entertainment and cabin systems of the aircraft. The pages can be
redefined and modelled to suit particular aircraft requirements, additional functionality
or changes inthe aircraft systems can be added through software, without reworking
traditionally expensive switch panels and cabinetry.

The unit is available in two formats; an LCD touch screen assembly for bulkhead
mounting with a front bezel which can be finished to a customers requirements,
or an arm mounted version. The latter offers the ultimate in functionality and control,
and when used as a personal monitor enables the user to expand the picture to full
screen size by touching the video preview window twice.

Both versions work in conjunction with an underseat or remotely sited control unit
“CMS Processor”. Page Structure - A top menu page identifies the general grouped
functions that feature in the system.

For example: Entertainment source selection, Cabin speaker control, Cabin lighting,
Galley equipment. Lower menu pages enable the operator to make further detailed
selections i.e.a selected source, dependant on aircraft configuration, may be directed
to single or multiple cabin monitors or a speaker system. As with all the pages, this
can be configured to suit the particular aircraft or customers requirements. Operation
of other functions, such as cabin lighting, can be actioned in the same way.

The scope of operation is not limited to those functions listed above. A Cabin
Attendant Call screen can also be included for the bulkhead version. A graphic
of the cabin or aircraft layouts is displayed and when an attendant call request is
made the corresponding seat icon will flash in order of priority, moving to the next
seat icon when cleared.
