General Information
The Becker Digital Player DP4100 is an audio playback system for passenger information, safety instructions or music to be used in aircraft cabin environments.
It can act like a standard CD-player (music entertainment) or an announcement system with a display based user guidance.
The audio tracks (music or announcements) are stored by using a special file and folder structure on standard PCMCIA flash memory cards which are inured for vibration or mechanical shocks. The MPEG2 Layer3 (MP3) file format is used to ensure an easy and up to date handling. By this, standard tools can be used for recording of new announcements or music.
The file and folder structure on the used memory card decides the kind of operation of the DP4100. There are 2 types of cards supported:
- “Music-Card” The DP4100 acts like a CD-player.
- “Announcement-Card” The DP4100 acts as an announcement system.
The “Music-Card” can be used to playback up to 999 music tracks from one memory card. The number of tracks which can be stored on a card depends to the available memory size and the used bitrate.
With an “Announcement-Cards”, the DP4100 supports up to 99 missions stored on a card.
The DP4100 supports ATA-Flash-Cards with a memory space up to 2GByte. The used standard for the cards is the PCMCIA PC-Card type. With an adapter available by third parties, Compact Flash Cards can be used as well.
The ATA-Norm ensures that the memory cards can be read and written with a standard personal computer. Please advise that the file naming must be in accordance to the DOS constraints which means up to 8 chars for the name and up to 3 chars for the file extension.
For preparation of cards to be used inside the DP4100 system, a special software tool running on standard personal computers is available. This tool is delivered on a CD-ROM which also contents the system and software manuals.
Operating Instructions
CAUTION
The DP4100 operates with ATA-flashcards only. SRAM cards or other memory card standards will not be accepted.
For retrofit reasons, the DP4100 is pin compatible with the TP3100 analog audio tape player provided by BECKER in the past.
The DP4100 supports several interfaces for flexible system integration in a wide range of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
