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.
