Users Guide and Regulatory Statement  RS-FA3221-01 Premium Seat Electronics Box  Revision NEW  Panasonic Avionics Corporation Page 6 of 7 2.0 EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 IFE Environment eX2 is an electronic control data and audio/video distribution system providing digital Video on Demand (VOD) and Audio on Demand (AOD) to the passenger seat. The system architecture is modular in design. eX2 uses Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) encoding techniques for audio/video data compression providing high-resolution digital video and compact disc (CD) quality audio to the seats without using excessive system bandwidth. eX2 uses dual fibre-channel links to provide high speed 2.125 Gbps MPEG video/audio data transfer between head-end equipment. eX2 also provides broadband Ethernet network connectivity between the passenger-computing device at the seat and the head-end network equipment. The system is used for Internet data application and streaming digital video/audio content distribution. eX2 provides a family of devices that allows the passenger to interact with the system.  Alternatively, a passenger may have a compatible Passenger Electronic Device (PED), which can be used to display and interact with the eX2 network to offer web browsing, e-mail, e-commerce, or viewing of a short entertainment program. 2.2 PSEB The Premium Seat Electronic Box (PSEB) is a component of the eX2 In-flight Entertainment System (IFES) developed by Panasonic Avionics Corporation.  The PSEB is mounted under the passenger seat in any orientation.  The PSEB is designed to provide video entertainment and peripheral interfaces for one premium class seat. The PSEB drawing is shown in Figure 1.   Figure 1.  PSEB (P/N RD-FA3221-01)
