How it Works

Industrial Strength Underpinnings

AirPlay is a replacement for the in-seat software that comes with IFE vendors’ hardware systems. It works with vendors’ features like audio/video on-demand, while adding fantastic new capabilities, unprecedented stability, speed and graphic sophistication.

AirPlay is based on NewGoo, CoKinetic’s industrial strength, patent-pending xml technology for creating cloud computing applications.

NewGoo comes in both Java and platform-native versions. It’s used to create highly-sophisticated, web-delivered distributed applications and really dazzling user interfaces in embedded systems, such as in-flight entertainment. This technology enables embedded systems to go beyond their previous limitations by delivering complex applications efficiently, dynamically and flexibly, without requiring extensive memory.
AirPlay Technical Architecture
CoKinetic’s technology is uniquely well-suited to IFE embedded systems. Airplay provides unprecedented flexibility for deploying almost unlimited advanced IFE features, such as shopping, interactive maps, advertising, email, instant messaging, chat, food ordering, gaming, and much more.

The AirPlay product suite consists of three main platform elements:
AirPlay: A runtime engine that allows you to display complex distributed applications that combines on-demand audio and video to deliver a robust user experience. The AirPlay engine is flexible and based on open standards (XML, JS and HTML).

AirPlay: Creator A GUI development environment that allows you to build your integrated application in a WYSIWYG style editor and preview how it will display at run-time.

AirPlay: Updater Developers use the AirPlay: Updater tool to manage all aspects of modifying their distributed applications including:

‣ Assigning role-based permissions
‣ Deploying updates
‣ Managing the update cycle to fleets of aircraft or individual aircraft
‣ Checking the status of updates within the development cycle
‣ Creating packages of updates and rotations
‣ Managing workflow
