Cathay Pacific selects the Rockwell Collins Airshow 4200D
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (November 02, 2006) - Cathay Pacific Airlines will be installing the Rockwell Collins Airshow 4200D moving map and in-flight information system
on five Airbus A330 and 18 Boeing 777 aircraft, with an option for an additional 20 line fit aircraft. In addition, Cathay
Pacific has the option of upgrading current Airshow 420 equipped aircraft. The Airshow 4200D will be installed at Boeing and
Airbus as line fits begin in July 2007.
"Cathay Pacific is setting a new trend in the Asian market by offering their passengers news and information about their flight
path, with the highest quality 16:9 digital displays and 3-D graphics," said Tommy Dodson, vice president and general manager
of Rockwell Collins Cabin Systems.
The Airshow 4200D is the most recent addition to the Rockwell Collins Airshow Moving Map family, incorporating a new digital
video interface, designed specifically to take advantage of the latest generation of in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems.
The new interface provides a true, all-digital display, omitting the limitations common with analog video signals and real-time
analog-to-digital encoders.
