Otonomy Aviation's new in-flight entertainment (IFE) connector box will provide a simple, low-cost solution for bringing video and audio from personal devices to legacy cabin IFE systems lacking PED input capability, the French company said. Expected to be available in the first quarter, Easi Connect VCB (video control box) converts inputs from USB-C sources—including iPads, cellphones, tablets, and PCs—to HDSDI/PAL/NTSC and audio analog/digital outputs, to present on installed IFEs. An Easi Connect HCB (HDMI control box) for converting PED inputs to HDMI outputs will also be available.
