NEW: SkyView HDX - The Premier SkyView Experience

Announcing SkyView HDX - The Premier SkyView Experience

We're excited to announce SkyView HDX - The Premier SkyView Experience.

SkyView HDX is the new flagship SkyView system from Dynon. SkyView HDX features improved displays, beautiful design, unrivaled control ergonomics, and an upgraded touch interface. SkyView HDX displays are compatible with all existing SkyView components and feature identical mounting profiles and electrical connections.

Clear, Vibrant Displays: SkyView HDX features brighter, higher-resolution HD touchscreen displays with wider viewing angles and improved anti-reflective properties for the sharpest picture ever. 

Beautiful Design: SkyView HDX’s modern, elegant design features robust metal and glass construction that is worthy of being in your aircraft.

Unrivaled Control Ergonomics: SkyView HDX expands the SkyView philosophy of combining full physical controls with a touchscreen. SkyView HDX’s angled control panel allows for natural hand positioning, reducing fatigue. The wide, sculpted ledge allows you to anchor your hand for precise control in turbulence. New knobs have positive and crisp movement, and all controls are now fully-backlit for night flight.

Improved Touch Interface: SkyView HDX features icon-driven touch controls and simplified screen navigation for reduced workload. The new engine monitor instrument band along the bottom of the screen affords an ideal instrument scan. The expansive glass display features edge-to-edge touchability with no bezel in the way.

Capable and Compatible: SkyView HDX utilizes the same components and modules as existing SkyView systems. It also features the same mounting footprint and wiring as other SkyView displays, allowing drop-in upgrades for pilots already flying behind SkyView. SkyView HDX displays can also work side-by-side with SkyView Touch and SkyView Classic displays.

SkyView HDX will be available in both 7” and 10” touchscreen versions. The 10” SV-HDX1100 display will be priced at $4,490.00. The 7” SV-HDX800 will be priced at $3,190.00.

SkyView HDX is expected to be available Fall 2016.

Any discounts / trade backs for existing customers

 

[Dynon]

We don't have specifics to announce right this moment, but we always try to have a good upgrade path for our existing customers. More to come...

Pics of the new engine display setup with the 6pack presentation please!

Also can the engine screen be made clear vs black so one can see the synthetic background as it is with the AFS?

 

[preid]

Is the "The new engine monitor instrument band along the bottom of the screen affords an ideal instrument scan" a HDX exclusive or will it be part of v15 for the "classic" displays (aka no touchscreen)
Thx

 

[Dynon]

reidvaitor: v15 for non-HDX will get the features but the UI, including the bottom band, are currently going to be exclusive to HDX.

Will you be able to mix and match an HDX with a D700?

 

[Dynon]

Will you be able to mix and match an HDX with a D700?

Yep!

Will you be able to mix and match an HDX with a D700?

Yep!

IMO that will be a winner for those who want dual screens but are unable to have both as 10" units

 

[CGameProgrammer]

Well there is a 7" HDX as well.

 

[jakej]

;D

I'll buy this pretty fast when it's available assuming a trade in option.  The engine info display is the way it should have been all along....dumb to do it the way it's done now unless there was some kind of programming problem that I don't know about.

This upgrade will make the SV almost as good as the GARMIN...maybe better.

It will be very interesting to see what the trade in will be for our existing 10 Touch Screen systems......I won't buy without that.

You can always sell the SkyView yourself and may get more for it than the trade in program gives.

I'll be interested in your 10'' Touch once you decide to upgrade if the price is right..

The marketing material indicates that this new display is "brighter". Can you provide me the "nits" for this display?

 

[Dynon]

We don't have final numbers yet. But, there are number of factors beyond nits that can actually dominate the visual experience and perceived brightness. For example, the displays we showed at Oshkosh weren't throwing appreciably more nits that then non-HDX displays next to them. But, it wasn't uncommon to hear "Wow, that's so much brighter/clearer/crisper/etc"

 

[N439AT]

Dynon, can you say if the Fall release of HDX is on schedule?  I ask because I am about to begin a SV panel upgrade on D-180 RV-12 and have a fair amount of preparation to complete but don’t want to have the aircraft sitting for several months and would wait to begin if HDX is delayed.
I know, it's a loaded question  :-X

 

[Raymo]

Similar situation here. I have a SV 1000T already installed on the pilot side with a big square hole in the other that I want to fill soon - and anticipate flying in the next 3 months.

I had originally planned to go with a non-touch SV but having played with the touch SV, I want it on both sides. Might as well get the HD for my 52 yr old eyes.

 

[Dynon]

Too soon to say, unfortunately. There are always critical parts, processes, tests, etc that converge in the last couple of months of development. Until we're just about there, there's always a bit of uncertainty. It's why we only give rough guidelines. But so far it's still looking like fall.

 

[Raymo]

A sign? It is on my wish list now
