Not in this release, although we actually demoed that feature at SnF, with some really unique and amazing tweaks. The issue is that we need to develop a calibration routine for cameras that allows them to line up well with SynVis, since every installation is different.

One question also out there, is what kind of camera and environment do people want to use the feature in? FLIR at night, FLIR in IMC, standard visual during the day? FLIR cameras are still pretty pricey so we're not sure how much interest there is. It sounds awesome until it comes time to write the $3,000 check for a night camera or $10,000 for an IMC camera.

I would be interested in being able to view VGA or HDMI video out from a laptop. This way on a long cross country flight my non-pilot wife can watch a movies on the screen in front of her without having to hold her laptop the entire time. She can listen to the audio via wired or Bluetooth headsets so no interference with ATC.

Actually, I'd like to go the other direction.... I'd really like to push the Skyview screen display to the iPad in case my non pilot wife needs to see what's going on up front.

Concerning the use of the camera input, I'm thinking a permanently mounted bullet camera for use as a taxi aid, and to ensure the prop is really clear before cranking up. Bullet cams are so cheap and light, you could have a few of them all around the airplane. Should really help with SA.

Is the video input selectable on the Skyview display, or is it limited to one input and we'd need a separate selector?

The current implementation is great for taxi or watching movies. You can see it full or split screen, just not behind the PFD.

It doesn't take VGA or HDMI in (those a huge bandwidth sources), but you can get HDMI or VGA to NTSC converters if you really want to watch movies.

Default Australian Maps etc..

Hi Guys,

Great news about the improved components. Maybe in a couple of years for me.

In the meantime, I have AFS equip (i.e. dual 5500s) which of course you now manage, and I know Dynon is working to get the Australian DAPS, ERCs, Sectionals etc completed. Can you give us some idea on the availability time frame.

Especially as the US has had these for years. I know you currently have/are working on some software versions that will manage it.

I am now in flight test phase and would like to know when Australia will be included in this default functionality especially as I have been waiting and following up for nearly 1.5 years.

Sorry for putting you on the spot, however, I am starting to get a little frustrated. :-)

Can you advise?

Keep up the good work.

The panel systems are AFS products, so they are better able to answer that question than Dynon. Here is their thread:

http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d.php?t=115653

However, I will mention that the installation of a GTN in an RV-12 is going to require a second alternator on the engine. The GTN draws over 3A at idle and a lot more at peak, and a well designed electrical system in an RV-12 is already at the 16A limit with just the two EFIS screens.

Andrew,
While Dynon and AFS are very much partners, we do not manage the AFS business nor control when they get various features. You will need to ask AFS when they will have Australian data.

On the Dynon side, we have made no statements about Australian plates. We do always hope to expand our offerings, but we are reliant on other data providers to get data at affordable prices, and then need to get support for those data formats in our software. So, someday, but we tend to be very reserved about announcing anything before we actually have it implemented as things can change and we don't want customers to be frustrated by our estimate of a timeframe made far in advance. SkyView actually only got USA plates 10 months ago, and Europe plates 7 months ago, so all of this is actually very new.

Cool . That's exactly for what I have been longing for.
