Abstract:
A consolidated in-flight entertainment system is provided that comprises a server in communication with a controller switch that manages and distributes in-flight entertainment data to a plurality of components on a mobile platform, e.g. passenger seats on a commercial aircraft. The server receives, transmits, and stores in-flight entertainment data and further executes fonctional elements such as providing audio and video data, storing data, web caching and storage, and component mapping, among others, through software. Additionally, the controller switch performs certain data functions such as satellite data interfacing, multiplexing, mapping, and multimedia routing, also through software, for the efficient transfer of in-flight entertainment data to and from the server and passenger seats.
