e.Digital's proprietary enhanced eVU features rapid wireless content loading simultaneously to multiple devices, wireless credit card transactions, arcade-style video games enabled by Montreal-based DTI Software, an industry-leading 12+ hours of high resolution video playback on a single battery charge, advanced battery safety and other next generation features. eVU also features razor-sharp images on a 7" high resolution LCD screen, superb audio fidelity, dual stereo headphone jacks, embedded credit card reader/processor, touch screen capabilities, bright full featured graphical user interface and Hollywood studio-approved software/hardware security based on e.Digital's patent pending technology.
"We launched our eVU mobile entertainment system earlier this year through customer trials and initial product deliveries to very favorable response," said Will Blakeley, president and chief technical officer of e.Digital. "Our enhanced eVU makes it very easy to rapidly download and update content utilizing our industry-proven proprietary download application, and our battery life is hours more than other portable IFE devices."
Addressing the issue of battery safety, Blakeley commented, "We have worked with our battery supplier to provide IFE customers with advanced battery safety. Our battery supplier performs incoming and outgoing inspection of battery cells through OCV, impedance and cycling tests to reject potentially defective cells prior to battery assembly."
"In addition to eVU's ability to monitor the internal battery status, it also has the capability of shutting down in the event of excessive current, charging, temperature, and discharging functions, e.Digital also enables advanced battery safety through fusing, charge limiting, and current detection and control circuitry. eVU also monitors and displays 26 battery health parameters."
Blakeley concluded, "We believe eVU is the only next generation portable IFE system ready for delivery with advanced battery safety and other enhancements which we expect will prove valuable to airlines, their logistics providers, and their passengers."
WAEA's Annual Conference & Exhibition is the premier event for the IFE industry. The week long conference is the industry's largest tradeshow, featuring more than 150 exhibits with the latest in-flight products, systems and services.
