The system architecture is modular in design, allowing for additional components to be integrated without aircraft-side wiring changes. NEXT System employs MPEG encoding techniques for audio/video data compression providing high-
resolution digital video and quality audio to the seats without using excessive system bandwidth. NEXT System 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 audio/video content distribution. 2.2 WSCU Wireless Seat control Unit and Cradle The Wireless Seat Control Unit (WSCU) and the cradle are components of the NEXT series In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system designed to provide wireless remote control to passengers in premium class seats. It supplies the passenger with a display for video and interactive entertainment, including a front-
facing camera. The WSCU and cradle are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
