Venue™ Receptacle – Plug & Play Solutions
The Problem
The Collins Venue system is an immersive cabin management system designed for various business aircraft
that are looking for increased functionality and the replacement of existing obsolete equipment. In the past The Collins Venue came with individual plug-in passenger monitors, which deployed from the Venue Cabin Receptacles.
Today, however, these monitors and mechanisms are becoming more and more obsolete in the changing
world of audio-video sources and distribution on aircraft. Today’s passengers bring their own media via their
Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) such as mobile phones, Apple iPads and Android Tablets. Modern cabin
management systems can even stream media to these devices via the audio-video system or streaming
products such as GoGo Avance, Moment’s Flymingo Box, JetPack’s Vision IFE and others. In most cases,
leaving these monitors inoperative, and quite costly to service and/or replace.
The INGENIO Aerospace Solution
INGENIO Aerospace has designed ‘loose equipment’ product solutions that add value to the Venue
Receptacle. It offers aircraft owners and operators a personalized way of using these Receptacles tailored to
specific passenger needs. These products not only fit directly into the Collins Venue Receptacle, but can also
integrate with the Collins Cabin Management System. This results in not having to remove the installed
Collins Receptacle, which saves engineering cost. Both product solutions breathe new life into aircraft cabins,
by transforming the Venue Receptacles into highly useful passenger amenities and giving them a new
purpose, without any downtime required!
Venue™ Cabin Tablet-Arms
INGENIO offers a direct Plug & Play replacement of the video monitors installed in the Venue Receptacle, which is the INGENIO Venue Cabin Tablet Arm and INGENIO Tablet Holder. This assembly provides USB Power Delivery (PD) functionality, and allows passengers to use their own devices on board of the aircraft. This simultaneously reducing the need to have multiple devices that serve the same purpose.
Venue™ Drop-In USB PD Chargers
This ‘loose equipment’ PD USB Charger is specifically designed to fit directly into the Collins Venue Receptacle. By inserting this plug & play USB Charger in the existing Receptacle it will instantly transform the electro-mechanical socket to an optimized USB Power Delivery port, for today’s ever growing list of Portable Electronic Devices (PED’s). Allowing passengers to ‘fast charge’ their carry-on devices.
