Skyview ADS-B weather and traffic on IFD540

[kurtfly]

Last year when I was at Oshkosh the Avidyne booth had ADS-B weather and traffic displayed on both the IFD and the Skyview. How is this done? Is it possible to use my Skview ADS-B receiver to supply weather and traffic to the IFD? Can the data move via ethernet or connect to IFD serial port?

Our Advanced Flight Systems AF-5000 systems can send traffic to the Avidyne IFDs via serial port. SkyView has a different serial port architecture which makes this a bit harder, so you'd need both a SkyView SV-ADSB-472 to feed SkyView and a separate device to feed the IFD, currently.

Any plans to add this capability? Sure would be a great feature. Also both have ethernet. Why not use that?
