Re: Video Monitor

Jeffrey,

As discussed, we continue to work the audio / video sy=tem.

As mentioned in our conversation yesterday, this is NO= a stand alone system like the GIL

Although the system may not seem to be sophisticated e=ploying many car audio components, it is in fact sophisticated as it ties =nto the aircraft and existing cabin management and existing audio componen=s.

I have attached the engineering wiring diagram to i=lustrate.

It is my strongest recommendation that you spend some =ime with us tomorrow at Islip PRIOR to your flight so that you can influen=e and be part of the solution with regard to the sound of the audio system= in the same manner that you did with regard to the seat upholstery - this=way we can tune the system to your ear - not mine, Jay's, Dan's or Lar=y's.

By coming out to Long Island, we will have access to e=erything that we need to open up and work the internals of the system.

I recognize that this may be a slight inconvenience fo= you, but in the spirit of trying to satisfy your desires, I believe this =tep is required.

We did it with the seating and had success, we would l=ke to do it with the audio / video system.

Good morning Jeffrey,

Attached is detailed information on the monitor.

the absolute cheapest monitor one can buy http://www.directron.com/5047hc2.htm= has specs that are more than twice as good. the ones co=ting 1500 have contrast ratios in the 10k-30k :1range. this six=year old goodrich, with modified inputs has only 500 contra=t„ its unacceptable.
