Abstract

An in-flight passenger entertainment system having a first digital network for communication among components of a headend system including a data server, media controller, one or more media servers, system interface unit, system manager unit and attendant control panel; the in-flight entertainment system being coupled to an aircraft^s existing systems through the system interface unit and the system manager unit; the components of the headend system being all coupled to a network switch for routing data within the first network; the network switch being also coupled to one or more zone bridge units, each of which being coupled to multiple seat electronics units; the zone bridge units and the seat electronics units together forming a second digital network; the first digital network being preferably an ATM network with fiber optic cables used to carry the data; the second digital network being preferably an IEEE 1394 serial bus network.
