System Architecture
The CIDS is designed in a modular way, that means the number of
installed components will be adapted to the cabin layout and functional
requirements. The general CIDS system architecture is based on a
controller, bus lines and network concept. Within this concept the CIDS
directors fulfill the role of the controllers.
Directors
For redundancy reasons, the CIDS has with 3 identical directors, wired
in parallel, which are the heart of the system. One director is active,
the two others are in hot standby. The active director controls, operates
and monitors passenger and cabin crew related functions as well as
the cabin support systems. For that, the active director exchanges data
with them through an onboard CIDS network or directly. Moreover
the 3 directors are connected to the cockpit controls and indicating
and to dedicated control panels (FAPs and optional MINI-FAPs) to
give interactivity to cockpit and cabin crew. They are also connected
to some A/C systems to make an automatic activation of some of the
CIDS functions.
FAP
The FAPs let the cabin and maintenance crew control and monitor in
the whole cabin; the various cabin support systems and, the passenger
and cabin crew related functions. In baseline configuration, there are
two independent touch-screen Flight Attendant Panels (FAPs)
installed: one in the Upper Deck and one in the Main Deck. However
the number of FAPs can be enlarged up to 10 FAPs.
MINI FAP (optional)
As an option it is possible to install some MINI-FAPs. Each mini FAP
lets the cabin crew control and monitor some cabin support systems
and the passenger related functions in a specific cabin zone.
DEU A
The interface between the active director and the passenger related
functions, is ensured via Decoder/Encoder Units type A (DEUs A).
The CIDS uses each DEU A to control the cabin lighting and all the
Passenger Service Units (PSUs) functions (PAX individual lighting,
PAX signs and calls and the loudspeakers). In baseline configuration,
there are 85 DEUs A installed in the whole cabin (a maximum of 192
can be installed).
DEU B
The interface between the active director and the cabin crew related
functions, is done via Decoder/Encoder Units type B (DEUs B).
The CIDS uses each DEU B to control the Area Call Panels (ACPs),
the Attendant Indication Panels (AIPs), the optional Additional
Attendant Panels (AAPs) and the handsets. In baseline configuration,
there are 21 DEUs B installed in the whole cabin (a maximum of 72
can be installed).
CIDS Cabin Crew Related Equipment
The ACPs are used as a remote call facility to inform cabin attendants
of a PAX or interphone call, of a lavatory smoke or of an EVAC
signaling. They are mainly located on the cabin ceiling above aisles.
The AIPs display dial and call information from Passenger Address
(PA), interphone and PAX. They display also additional cabin systems
information like the LAV smoke location.
The optional AAPs let the attendants control certain cabin support
systems and the passenger related functions in a specific cabin zone.
The optional AAPs and AIPs are mainly located near the attendant
stations. Each attendant station has a handset for passenger address
and interphone functions.

Communication Functions
The CIDS has several communication functions, which are:
- Passenger Address
- Cabin interphone
- Service interphone
- Crew signalling and alerting
PA
The Passenger Address (PA) is one of the main functions of the CIDS.
It supplies one way voice communication to do announcements from
the cockpit or from a cabin crew station to the passengers. These
announcements are initiated from the cockpit using either a handset
or acoustic devices and from the cabin using cabin crew stations
handset. They are then broadcasted to the passengers either through
passengers headset via In Flight entertainment (IFE) or through all
cabin loudspeakers. A PA announcement can be direct or prerecorded
voice information and it can also be used to supply prerecorded music.
Cabin Interphone
The cabin interphone system is used for the telephone communication
between all cabin crew stations or between the cockpit and the cabin
crew stations. From the cockpit the communication is established via
the cockpit handset or via any acoustic device. From the cabin the
communication is established via any cabin crew station handset.
Service Interphone
The service interphone system is used for the telephone
communications, on ground only, between the service interphone
jacks or between the service interphone jacks, the cockpit and the
cabin crew stations. The service interphone jacks are located within
the service areas.
Crew Signalling And Alerting
There are different kinds of cockpit and cabin crew signaling and
alerting functions depending on the situation.
The area ready function lets the cabin crew inform the purser that a
dedicated cabin area is ready for takeoff/landing. This function is
activated thanks to the FAPs and the optional MINI-FAPs.
The cabin ready signaling function lets the purser inform the cockpit
crew that all the cabin areas are ready for takeoff/landing. This function
is activated thanks to the FAPs.
The optional sterile cockpit lets the cockpit crew inform the purser
that they do not want to be disturbed. This function is activated through
a sterile cockpit P/B.
The optional Emergency Crew Alerting System (ECAS) is used to
indicate a possible violent incident against passengers, cabin or cockpit
crew members. This function is activated from the cabin thanks to a
cabin alert P/B and from the cockpit via a cockpit alert P/B.

System Architecture Overview
The IFE system architecture is based on a modular concept, which gives
a platform for various entertainment systems from different vendors in
an add-on principle. It offers flexibility and adaptability for customized
configuration. This system is basically composed of three main parts: the
IFE Center (IFEC), an IFE control panel and a cabin network.
IFEC
The IFEC is located in the Emergency Electronic Bay. It is made of
one or two racks (IFEC rack two is optional) which contains the IFE
system head end equipment. It is composed of computers, video/audio
sources, files servers and third party equipment. The IFEC controls
and monitors the whole IFE system and gives an interface with the
cabin network, the A/C systems and the optional cabin workstation.
IFE control panel, cabin workstation and RCC
The IFE control panel supplies a centralized control and monitoring
of the whole IFE system for the cabin attendants. It is an application,
which may run either as one of the FAP application or hosted in an
optional and specific device called remote control console. Note that
the FAP may be located within an optional cabin workstation while
the remote control console is located either within the optional cabin
workstation or within an optional Remote Control Center (RCC).
The IFE control panel controls other optional equipment such as
additional audio/video sources (except in RCC), fax unit, data loader,
credit card reader, etc...
The cabin workstation when installed is the main working area of the
purser and offers the centralized operation for IFE, CIDS, logbook,
email, PAX profile and electronic documentation. In addition to or
instead of the cabin workstation, the RCC when installed offers
additional IFE control through a remote control console.
Cabin Network
The cabin network supplies audio, video, data, telephone and down
loadable software to and from the passenger seats. It supplies also
video data to the overhead or wall mounted video equipment.
It comprises:
- The cabin distribution network, which is composed of Area
Distribution Boxes (ADBs) (a maximum of 12 can be installed). They
facilitate the distribution of the cabin network data to and from the
passengers seats via the seat network and to the overhead video
equipment via the overhead network. Moreover the ADBs give the
connection of RCC to the cabin distribution enabling the cabin staff
to control the IFE system from locations other than the cabin
workstation :
- The overhead network, which is composed of Tapping Units (TUs).
Each one is able to supply 3 overheads or wall mounted DUs
- The seat network, which is composed of Floor Disconnect Boxes
(FDBs) and Seat Electronic Boxes (SEBs). It sends the data received
from the cabin distribution network to the seat equipment.

Audio / Optional Video
Audio
The audio part of the IFE system is made of the broadcast audio
including the boarding music and the audio from safety demos. It
includes also the optional Audio On Demand (AOD) programs, which
allow individual passenger selection and control. The broadcast audio
and the AOD programs are stored in the IFEC.
Note that broadcast audio can also be stored in the optional cabin
workstation audio/video reproducers. Broadcast audio programs and
AOD programs are selectable at the PCU and/or at a touch screen
Seat Display Unit (SDU) while the boarding music and the safety
demos are controlled from the optional cabin workstation or at the
optional RCC. They are all sent through the cabin distribution network
and the seat network to the PAX headset. However the boarding music
and the safety demos are also sent in parallel to the CIDS to be
broadcasted through the cabin loudspeakers.
PA messages from the CIDS are also broadcasted to the passengers
through the headset. These announcements have priority over music
entertainment channels.
Overhead Video
The overhead video function supplies visual entertainment from the
broadcast video, the Passenger Video Information System (PVIS),
the camera systems and optional broadband system (for live TV).
Note that the broadcast video reproducers are located either in the
IFEC or in the optional cabin workstation.
The overhead video is sent via the cabin distribution and overhead
network either to overhead Display Units (DU) in the cabin and/or
wall-mounted DUs. The related audio is sent either via the CIDS to
the cabin and room loudspeakers, or via the cabin distribution network
and the seat network to the passenger headsets.
The video program is selected on the IFE control panel.
In Seat Video
The In-Seat Video function supplies visual and aural entertainment
from broadcast video, PVIS, camera systems and optional broadband
system (for live TV). In addition, an interactive function offers Video
On Demand (VOD) from the IFEC and supplies individual passenger
selection and control of video programs.
The in seat video is sent via the cabin distribution and the seat
networks to each passenger seat. The program images are displayed
on SDUs and the related audio is delivered to the passenger headsets.
In all cases channel selection and volume controls are selected on the
PCUs and/or through a touch screen SDU.

CABIN MONITORING SYSTEM PRESENTATION
General
The cabin monitoring system is composed of the optional Cockpit Door
Surveillance System (CDSS) and of the optional Cabin Video Monitoring
System (CVMS).
The CDSS is designed to help the cockpit crew to identify a person
requesting entrance to the cockpit and to survey the doors 1 hidden cross
section via video camera observation.
The CVMS is mainly designed to help the cabin and cockpit crew in
video surveillance of the whole cabin (main and upper deck) and of some
other areas like the staircases, the crew rest areas and the lower deck
facilities. The CVMS is installed to detect unruly passengers, suspicious
behaviors or other potential threats occurring in these areas.

Cockpit Door Surveillance System (CDSS) (Option)
The CDSS is composed of:
- 3 video cameras located in the cockpit entrance area (a maximum of 6
can be installed),
- 1 CDSS controller
The CDSS controller manages video signals from the CDSS cameras. It
shows, upon selection on the ECAM Control Panel (ECP), the CDSS
videos through the Control and Display System (CDS) via the
Concentrator and Multiplexer for Video (CMV).
These images are shown on the System Display (SD) in split or single
screen configuration. The videos are also sent to the optional CVMS and
to a dedicated optional Video Recorder Capability (VRC).
As an option, in case of hi jacking the cockpit CDSS display can be
inhibited either via the Ground Service Panel (GSP) or via the Aircraft
Environment Surveillance System (AESS).

Cabin Video Monitoring System (CVMS) (Option)
System architecture
The optional CVMS is composed of :
-Cameras (up to 15 cameras can be installed) located in the cabin area,
-Area Distribution Units (ADUs) (up to 10 ADUs can be installed),
-1 Data Acquisition Unit (DAU).
Each ADU receives video signals from its related cameras and sends
these signals to the DAU. Then the DAU, which is the CVMS video
controller, sends upon request the images to the following systems:
-The Control and Display System (CDS) via the CMV for the cockpit
crew display (after video selection on the ECP),
-The Flight Attendant Panels (FAPs) for the cabin crew display,
-The In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system for passengers display,
-The CVMS GSP for ground staff display.
The CVMS also interfaces with the CDSS to broadcast upon request
the CDSS video images to the previous systems except for CDS, which
has a direct connection to the CDSS.
