SkyView Oshkosh 2014 Announcements

[Dynon]

We've got quite a few things to tell you guys about. At Oshkosh we'll be debuting an 8.33 kHz COM radio, video input, and version 11 software for its SkyView glass panel system. Also, Advanced Flight Systems – part of the Dynon family since July 2013 – announces its new Quick Panel System. Available in both VFR and IFR versions with either Dynon or AFS displays, an AFS Quick Panel allows builders to install a turnkey avionics solution in their aircraft, saving thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of build time.

If you'll be at AirVenture this week, make sure you pull a rivet on the One Week Wonder Zenith CH 750 which will be built built during the fly-in! The One Week Wonder will feature a complete SkyView Touch system.

8.33 kHz COM Radio
Dynon’s SV-COM-C25 COM radio reinvented the pilot interface for radios. With dedicated buttons for tuning tower, ground, weather, and ATC frequencies, it saves time and reduces pilot workload. The SV-COM-X83 brings the same capability to Europe with 8.33 kHz frequency spacing. The 8.33 kHz transceiver module is TSO’d. The SV-COM-X83 comes in horizontal and vertical versions and will be available in August for a list price of $2195.

Video Input
With SkyView 11 Software, all SkyView Touch and new SkyView screens can display video in both full-screen and split-screen formats when equipped with a Video Input Adapter. Video sources connect via s-video or composite input. Both NTSC and PAL formats are supported for worldwide compatibility. The Video Input Adapter for SkyView will be available in August for $195.

[*]A pilot-selectable wide field of view mode for synthetic vision.
[*]Color-coded airport weather icons on the map when equipped with an SV-ADSB-470 module.
[*]The ability to synchronize the altimeter setting to the nearest station’s METAR report (requires SV-ADSB-470).
[*]Support for third-party 8.33 kHz COM radios. Supported radios include the f.u.n.k.e. ATR833, Garmin GTR 225 & GNC 255, and Trig TY91/92.

Quick Panel Systems by Advanced Flight Systems

Advanced Flight Systems announces its Quick Panel System, a line of complete pre-built avionics panels. Starting with VFR and IFR-equipped panels for the RV-7/9, installing an aircraft’s modern avionics and electrical system is no longer a time consuming, complicated and frustrating experience. Each system includes a well-engineered instrument panel that is professionally wired, configured, tested and ready to install.  All avionics, including the aircraft’s autopilot servos, trim servos and lights are all cleanly wired to the new Advanced Control Module.
The first Advanced Quick Panels are available for purchase at Oshkosh for only $19,995. Learn more about the Quick Panel System at the AFS website.

with the "wide" view, is that basically unzooming the synvis? my concern is now the synvis is pretty darn close to showing the distance and actual size of the hills, with wide, although I really like this, it appears everything will be further away than what it looks like outside. aka be over a mountain and the synvis shows I have not reached it yet.
The last bullet about Decluttering of airspaces is an excellent addition, one I can see being a great benefit for cross countries.
nice job with the continued upgrades!

The announcement reads that only *new* SkyView screens will support video. Does that mean that existing installations are not supported for video?

Thanks, Vern

reidviator: Yes, that's basically what it means. They're basically like camera lenses. The original field of view was the best balance of realism, industry standardish consistency, etc that we determined when SkyView was new. But since then we've definitely learned more about what our customers are after (a little bit more of a side view for a bit more terrain situation awareness without looking at the map). The wide view increases the field of view by about 70%.

vlittle: All SkyView Touches support video in, as do all currently shipping SkyView displays. Also, SkyView displays that were manufactured in about the last year or so have the internal hardware revision that supports the video input adapter (SV-D1000 displays s/n >= 6000 and SV-D700 displays s/n >= 4000) . A SkyView Touch upgrade (that we'll be offering soon) also enables video on SV-D1000 displays older than that.

Hurrah! A European spec 8.33 com appears.

Brilliant, thank you, fine folk of Dynon....

 

[DonFromTX]

Wow, that is awesome for sure. At last I won't have to apologize to my passengers for not furnishing inflight movies. Great job Dynon! ;D

That com looks suspiciously like the Trig com that Trig would not yet talk to me about   Time to sell the Becker.
.
Oops, forgot to ask; does the Dynon/Trig com have an intercom capability or is the Dynon intercom required as well?

 

[dynonsupport]

The Dynon Avionics SV-COM-X83 does not have a built-in Intercom, thus we recommend the SV-INTERCOM-2S.
