Burrana unveils next generation 4K overhead inflight entertainment


Burrana has launched their next generation ultra-high definition 4K overhead solution.
Burrana's 13" next generation displays are the largest and highest resolution overhead screens. Each display will have the latest in high brightness and high dynamic range LCD technology, which will allow passengers to enjoy wide viewing angles and a crisp picture, regardless of where they're sitting in the cabin. Also, the displays will have an anti-glare coating, which will help reduce reflections and the impact of sunlight.

A new server has been developed, which will support 4K entertainment streams for the new overhead displays as well as wireless streaming entertainment to passenger devices. The server will provide 4TB of solid-state storage. This significant enhancement in storage capacity, combined with high compression video streams, will efficiently support larger 4K media files. The system will also utilise USB 3.0 technology, allowing airlines to load content at up to 4.8Gbps - 10x faster than previous generations.

"With over 8.2 million pixels each with over 16 million lifelike colors, the latest generation overhead displays from Burrana will deliver an immersive and unforgettable passenger experience," said David Withers, Burrana CEO. "Leveraging 30 years of reliable, proven technology from previous generation overhead systems, we're delighted to offer our airline partners the latest in 4K overhead technology."
