Video entertainment is provided via a large video screen at the front of a cabin section, as well as via smaller
monitors situated every few rows above the aisles. Sound is supplied via the same headphones as those distributed for
audio entertainment.
Personal televisions (PTVs) for every passenger provide passengers with channels broadcasting new and classic films, as
well as comedies, news, sports programming, documentaries, children's shows, and drama series. Some airlines also
present news and current affairs programming, which are often pre-recorded and delivered in the early morning before
flights commence.
PTVs are operated via an In flight Management System which stores pre-recorded channels on a central server and streams
them to PTV equipped seats during flight. VOD (Video On Demand) systems store individual programs separately, allowing
a passenger to have a specific program streamed to them privately, and be able to control the playback.
