CoKinetic’s award-winning AirPlay software powers the In-Flight Entertainment systems of some of the world’s most innovative airlines. AirPlay gives airlines an unparalleled ability to envision and rapidly deploy industry-leading IFE capabilities consistently across the entire range of their existing IFE hardware platforms.
A key feature of the AirPlay platform is the ability to deploy most changes to the interactive design in the form of media content, rather than via traditional changes to actual software code. This capability greatly reduces the lead time required for design changes and results in superior system reliability.
Another advantage of the AirPlay system is the ability to deploy a common design and functional set across multiple IFE hardware platforms. This means that airlines can frequently review and update any aspect of their interactive design across the entire fleet of planes, regardless of the make or model of IFE equipment, all the while maintaining a consistent branding identity and functional set for all passengers.
While it’s true that using AirPlay dramatically improves the passenger experience, it also creates limitless opportunities for airlines to develop new partnerships and business models. The AirPlay technology enables airlines to run multiple applications simultaneously, to develop new features easily (either in house or by a third party), and to upload changes to the aircraft at any time. All with simple XML and JavaScript authoring tools.
AirPlay raises the bar in:
Performance:
AirPlay provides unprecedented performance in graphics, animations and text. AirPlay leverages the full potential of each platform, ensuring the new X Series hardware can perform at its peak while also enabling existing assets to stay competitive for years to come.
Real Time Updates:
Airplay allows you to incrementally refresh interactives as often as your airline wants – even daily. Authorized users of varying skill levels can enhance screens, text and images as well as load and unload data such as survey results, credit card numbers, manifests and more.
Enhanced Reliability:
AirPlay also includes Airplay: SafetyNet, a technology that keeps the interactive running and available to passengers, dramatically reducing seat reboots and the need for crew involvement if problems arise.
Product Control:
AirPlay enables airlines to realize their own vision for IFE by allowing them to easily create and integrate custom applications such as chat, mail, food ordering, and shopping. AirPlay development uses open standards like XML, JavaScript, images, and rich-text to create highly robust, multi-threaded interactives that set a new standard for quality, speed and flexibility.
