Duncan Aviation modified a CMS for Gulfstream 550 by adding entertainment options

The team at Duncan resolved an issue with obsolete parts without the need to replace all the switch panels or provide major alterations to all of the drink rails.
This is an ideal solution for customers who aren’t ready to replace veneer/woodwork and drink rails but want access to high-definition entertainment content with the look and feel of a new CMS.

This modification gives the customer custom entertainment options such as streaming video, HDMI Ports, and touchscreens, as well as control of the cabin through iPad’s remote application.

14 July 2021: Duncan Aviation recently modified a Cabin Management System (CMS) for a Gulfstream G550, resolving an issue with obsolete parts without the need to replace all the switch panels or provide major alterations to all of the drink rails.

Senior Avionics Sales Rep Dennis Kruse said, “This modification gives the customer custom entertainment options such as streaming video, HDMI Ports, and touchscreens, as well as control of the cabin through iPad’s remote application. It’s an ideal solution for customers who aren’t ready to replace veneer/woodwork and drink rails but want access to high-definition entertainment content with the look and feel of a new CMS. Not only do customers get a customizable In-Flight Entertainment system, but they’ll also get new equipment that is fully supported and has a warranty.

Using a new distribution system for the entertainment portion of the CMS allowed the customer to upgrade to newer more advanced High-Definition (HD) monitors, High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) panels and touchscreen controllers.
