Collins Aerospace has recently begun deliveries of its new Venue cabin management system. The upgraded Venue is equipped with Collins’ all-new smart monitors and upgraded graphical user interface (GUI), enhancing entertainment, usability, and simplicity for both operators and passengers.
Venue features 4K-enabled resolutions, comprehensive cabin controls, and a redesigned user interface. Its advanced touchscreens, seat controls, and mobile application provide a simplified, consistent user experience. Collins has planned over 1,700 installations of Venue on over 50 aircraft models.
“The enhanced user interface and smart architecture not only advance Venue’s market-leading capabilities and dependability but also establish a firm foundation on which customers can seamlessly build onto their system as future technology upgrades become available,” said Nathan Voight, vice president and general manager, Business and Regional Avionics at Collins Aerospace.
Collins Aerospace claims that its network of trusted dealer partners has been instrumental in the integration and deployment of our upgraded Venue system, evolving the inflight experience to what passengers expect in-ground applications.
The Venue smart monitor can integrate directly into a whole cabin Venue system or function as a standalone inflight entertainment (IFE) solution, allowing customers to experience their favourite movies, shows, personal content, or Collins’ HD Airshow in ultra-high definition.
Available in five sizes, the versatile smart monitor provides flexible integration options and streamlined software upgrades for everything from VVIP aircraft to very light jets. The new system is compact, consolidating underfloor hardware directly into the monitor’s robust internal processor that not only reduces carry weight but also conserves power consumption.
The elegantly upgraded GUI features a modernized menu structure and consistent iconography across device interfaces, simplifying cabin controls with intuitive features that require fewer touchpoints to achieve desired results.
