　FUJITSU TEN LIMITED (head office: Kobe, Hyogo, president: Takamitsu Tsuchimoto, capital: 5,300,000,000 yen) has developed the AV5101 AV center control system (see attached photo) to respond to the growing need for rear-seat entertainment products in America's automotive AV product market. The AV5101 allows central control of a multiple number of monitors installed in a vehicle. FUJITSU TEN displays the AV5101 in the CES 2001, an exhibition of consumer electronic products (place: Las Vegas, U.S.A., period: January 6 to 9, 2001).
 

【 AV5101 System configuration 】

< Monitor unit >
1-DIN-size in-dash center control unit with 5.8-inch wide-screen monitor

< Hideaway unit >
AV selector unit with built-in radio tuner (equipped with two sets of AV input terminals and two sets of AV output terminals)
 

【 Main features 】

■Matrix AV selector for flexible display of three different images on three in-car monitors
Equipped with two sets of external AV input terminals and two sets of external AV output terminals, the AV5101 can display three different images including a car navigation screen on the AV5101's 5.8-inch monitor and up to two other monitors (optional) installed for rear-seat passengers. The AV5101 allows the change of the image displayed on each monitor. (Note) Sources of images displayable by rear-seat monitors are limited.

■ECLIPSE COMMANDER voice control system (E-COM) for display of car navigation information on 5.8-inch monitor
The E-COM allows the use of voice for the control of a car navigation system, a mobile phone and audio equipment as well as electric devices such as room lamps (ON/OFF operation).

Connection of the E-COM also enables the display of car navigation information, such as turning direction, distance to turning location, distance to destination, and names of roads, on the AV5101's 5.8-inch wide-screen monitor.

Car navigation information, which is conventionally displayed on a 1-DIN-size CD-player-integrated unit, becomes much easier to see on the larger screen of the AV5101.

■Audio input

The audio input terminals (1 set) allows connection of a portable audio product such as an MP3 player.
 

【 Example of applications 】

When the AV5101 is connected with a portable DVD player at AV input (1), with a game machine at AV input (2), and also with the E-COM, the front-seat monitor can display (1) car navigation information or radio information, (2) DVD video, or (3) game. Each rear-seat monitor can display (1) DVD video or (2) game.

(The following shows examples of combinations of displayed images.)
