Block diagram

Overview

Interconnect/distribution box systems provide in-flight experiences to commercial airline passengers worldwide. Our reference designs and integrated circuits enable innovation on performance and size, weight and power (SWaP) reduction in IFE monitors and other peripherals.

Design requirements

Modern interconnect/distribution box systems require:

  • Support for various sizes of high definition (HD) displays.
  • Highly integrated components for SWaP optimization.
  • Graphics processor supporting high-efficiency video coding.
