1. INTRODUCTION
The RosenView® MX provides passengers with a feature-rich moving map and cabin briefing
system. A combination of satellite imagery, roadway data, current flight information, destination
summary, and a simulated aircraft instrument gauge view allows travelers to view the present
location of their flight from departure to arrival. The cabin-briefing system can store up to 16
personalized cabin briefings for flight announcements and landing preparations to enhance the
overall flight experience.
This manual describes how to install the RosenView® MX moving map and cabin briefing system
onto your aircraft. It contains everything you need to know to wire the unit and confirm that the
system is functioning correctly.

3. DATA SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
There are several ways to connect RosenView MX to the aircraft’s data systems. There are two
ARINC 429 inputs, and the unit can receive flight data from one or both inputs. There is also one
RS-232 (GPS) input.
The unit shall look first at the ARINC 429 data inputs for flight data, followed by the GPS (RS-232)
input for data not available on the ARINC 429 data inputs.
The 429 buses can be either low or high-speed buses (the bus speed is auto-detected).
The RS-232 bus speed is auto-detected as well, 1200 to 9600 baud.

* Rockwell Collins Proline 21 only
To achieve at least basic operation, labels 125 or 150, 204, 260, 310, 311, and 312 are
necessary. Additional labels will provide more information, such as Destination Airport, Outside
Air temperature, etcetera, but they will not be shown unless they are supplied.
