Description and Operation, Section 2 Page 2-1 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 2.0 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 2.1. Introduction and Overview The Gogo Video Processing Unit (GVPU) enables the Gogo Universal Cabin System (UCS) to distribute and control both standard and High Definition video as well as stereo and high definition audio to typical business aviation cabin monitors and speakers. This functionality enables UCS Vision (movies, moving maps, news clips, weather updates) to be displayed on a permanently mounted cabin monitor. The UCS content server must be able to connect to the Internet externally for Digital Rights Management (DRM) when playing movies or TV shows. An installation comprises of the GVPU (P24486) LRU as seen in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1. GVPU Figure 2.2 displays a diagram of the GVPU with an example of possible aircraft IFE configurations. The GVPU receives power from the 28 volt aircraft bus via a dedicated circuit breaker or the cabin monitor circuit breaker if this simplifies installation. The GVPU outputs audio in S/PDIF format or analog format to the aircraft audio distribution system or direct to the fixed cabin monitor depending on the aircraft configuration. The video content is streamed from the UCS content server to the GVPU via a wired Ethernet port. The GVPU outputs a composite video signal and/or an HDMI signal containing video data to the cabin monitor based on user selection. The composite video signal exits via a D-sub connector. The HDMI link uses a DVI-style connector which can be secured using the fixed jackscrews for use in a vibrating environment.
Description and Operation, Section 2 Page 2-2 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 Figure 2.2. Sample GVPU Installation The GVPU is mounted via holes in flanges at both ends of the enclosure. The dimensions of the GVPU including mounting flanges are 3.23” W × 9.25” L × 1.33” H.
Description and Operation, Section 2 Page 2-3 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 2.2. GVPU Indicators The GVPU contains several internal LED indicators for power and general status. These are labeled on the exterior of the GVPU and the location and function are shown on the Interface Control Drawing (ICD) in Section 10 of this document. 2.3. GVPU Power The GVPU must be installed within the aircraft pressure vessel. For an installation where the GVPU is powered through a dedicated circuit breaker, a 1 Amp circuit breaker is recommended. As the GVPU consumes very little power, installation may be simplified if the GVPU is powered by the same circuit as the cabin monitor to which it will be connected. In this case, review the cabin monitor power requirements and adjust the monitor circuit breaker size accordingly to accommodate the incremental power draw of the GVPU. 2.4. Component Part Numbers Description Manufacturer Part Number Quantity ApplicabilityGVPU Gogo Business Aviation P24486 1 All Table 2.1. GVPU Equipment Installed 2.5. General Purpose Input/Output The GVPU contains a number of definable General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) connections. At present, only one GPIO1 N is used for a remote Wi-Fi disable capability when connected to a switch in the cockpit or to the Wi-Fi disable function on the Gogo UCS system. The remaining ports are reserved for future function expansion. The GPIO ports are active low and each can handle 28 VDC at 50 mA. 2.6. Physical Characteristics The GVPU has a mounted footprint 9.25” x 3.23”. The height is 1.33” from the mounting surface to the top of the enclosure. Refer to the GVPU interface drawing D171130, in Section 6.0 for details. The GVPU chassis is made of wrought aluminum alloy. An anodized finish is applied to all external surfaces, providing the chassis with excellent corrosion resistance, while also making it electrically nonconductive. All of the electrical connections to the GVPU are on one side of the box which offers convenient access for maintenance purposes. The GVPU must be installed in the pressurized cabin area or avionics bay. Keep in mind the cable lengths and routing requirements. Depending on the placement of the unit, it may be necessary and/or desirable to use right-angle connectors. Ensure that connectors do not interfere with each other in the final selected configuration.

Considerations Regarding Current System Following is a list of questions to keep in mind when determining the optimal configuration for a specific installation. They may be used as is or adapted to any particular situation based on the level of complexity of the system. Is there an A/V distribution System?  What type of Audio/Video Input does it have  Is there an available (unused) Audio/Video input. Will the GVPU be connected directly to a monitor in the aircraft?  Is there more than one cabin monitor?  Is there an available HDMI or Composite input to the monitor?  How will audio from the monitor be distributed throughout the aircraft? 3.3.2. Sample Configurations Following are some examples of possible installation configurations. These should only serve as guidelines for actual installations as the final configuration will depend on numerous factors as described above. 3.3.2.1. Single Digital Video Source For an aircraft installation with no A/V distribution system, the GVPU will be installed directly to a cabin monitor. Figure 3.1 shows a block diagram of this installation.
Installation Procedures, Section 3 Page 3-3 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 Figure 3.1. Single Digital Video Source 3.3.2.2. GVPU as an Input Source to the CMS/A/V Distribution System Many aircraft will have an existing CMS or A/V distribution system with a variety of audio and video sources. In this case, the GVPU can be integrated to serve as an additional input to the existing system. Figure 3.2 shows some examples of this configuration. Some aspects to consider when the GVPU is integrated as in input source to the CMS or A/V distribution system:  If an aircraft is equipped with more than one cabin monitor and each is intended to display individually controlled video, then more than one GVPU will need to be installed as input to the CMS or A/V distribution system. In this case (more than one GVPU installed), each GVPU will require a uniquely configured Internet Protocol (IP) address  If more than one GVPU is installed, each GVPU will need to be configured with a unique IP address. See section 2.5 – General Purpose Input/Output for setting the IP address.
Installation Procedures, Section 3 Page 3-4 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 Figure 3.2. Multiple Video Sources, GVPU Before CMS 3.3.2.3. Multiple Video Sources; GVPU after CMS An alternative is to integrate the GVPU downstream or after the existing/upgraded CMS. This configuration may be desirable if an HD capable cabin monitor is to be added solely to accommodate digital video from the Gogo UCS system or other digital video content server. An additional application provides the addition of HD video without changing the composite video source configuration and connection to the CMS. Figure 3.3 shows some examples of this configuration. Some aspects to consider when the GVPU is integrated after the CMS are:  Audio associated with HD video will only be available on cabin speakers unless the audio is routed back into the CMS.  Audio volume control will be necessary at the amplifier unless audio is routed back into the CMS.

When building the system wire harness, observe the following:
Installation Procedures, Section 3 Page 3-7 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 1. Plan the GVPU cable routing so that it does not interfere with flight control cables or follow heavy current-carrying cables, hydraulic lines, or fuel lines. 2. It is essential to use military specification connectors or connectors approved for use on aircraft. 3. This document, attached ICD and attached wiring instructions only show a suggested circuit breaker size, wire size & type for a typical installation:  It is the responsibility of the installation agency to ensure proper wire type and size and the use of a properly rated circuit protection device (circuit breaker). In addition, ensure that the 28 VDC equipment bus is connected so it can handle the additional electrical load.  Install circuit protection (circuit breaker) of the proper amperage to handle the power requirements and protect the wiring.  Refer to aircraft manufacturing guidelines and/or refer to FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, Section 11 (Aircraft Electrical Systems) for the proper wire types and circuit protection recommendations. All wiring and coax cabling shall conform to the flammability requirements of FAR 25.869.  Single wire conductors shall conform to aircraft manufacturing guidelines and/or the specification for Wire, Electrical, Fluoropolymer-Insulated, and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)-AS22759, also known as Military (MIL)-W-22759.  Shielded wire conductors shall conform to Aircraft manufacturing guidelines and/or the Standard for Aerospace and Industrial Electrical Cable, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) WC 27500, also known as MIL-DTL-27500.  Size power wires and circuit protection to handle an operational voltage range 18.0 - 33.2 VDC with a nominal power draw of 7.6 watts @ 28 VDC and a maximum power draw of 14.0 watts @ 28 VDC. The Wiring Diagrams in Section 10.0 provide manufacturing instructions for the wire harnesses. Notes on the wiring diagrams provide essential instructions that will save you needless rework during installation. NOTES Component Bonding As with any communication equipment, bonding the equipment to the airframe ground is essential for optimum performance, compliance, and lightning protection. Ensure that the equipment mounting provisions (tray or bulkhead mounting rails) are bonded to the shelf, and the shelf is bonded to airframe ground. Properly bonded, there should be 2.5 milliohms or less between the mounting tray and airframe ground. Care in bonding has been shown to eliminate erratic or poor system performance. Additional Shield Drain Information As an option, up to four 22 American Wire Gauge (AWG) 7” drains may be combined on a single grounding strap and then routed to airframe chassis. The ground strap should be as short as possible, but may be realized with a maximum of 24” of insulated (18 AWG or larger). 4. To reduce EMI/RFI to an acceptable level, signal lines may require shielded cables. Refer to the wiring instructions in Section 10.0.
Installation Procedures, Section 3 Page 3-8 Gogo Business Aviation confidential and proprietary D18340-A, May 2015 3.6. Antenna Mounting The Wi-Fi antenna, used when the connection between the content server (UCS or other) is Wi-Fi instead of hardwired Ethernet, must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and the users under normal circumstances. For optimal Wi-Fi performance, the Wi-Fi antenna should be mounted on a non-metallic surface and/or secured with cable ties. The Wi-Fi antenna can be mounted to a metallic surface, but should have direct line of sight (LOS) to the cabin in such a situation. The Wi-Fi antenna is omni-directional but it is recommended to be mounted with the radome facing the target area. 3.7. Remote Ground Maintenance Ethernet Normally, the GVPU will be utilized in conjunction with the Gogo UCS system to display video content on a cabin monitor or monitors. In this case, Ethernet access to the GVPU for configuration purposes can be made through the aircraft network used by all the UCS system components. The UCS may be connected through a Wi-Fi connection or the physical Ethernet jack on the GVPU. Instances where the GVPU is installed in a location that is not easily accessible, and the Ethernet jack is not used for connecting to the UCS system or other content server, it is recommended that the Ethernet port be wired to an easily accessible bulkhead-mounted or panel-mounted RJ-45 connector. This will provide a hardwired Ethernet connection to the GVPU for configuration and diagnostic purposes regardless of the status of the Wi-Fi connection.
