General Information
The do CAPSULE is a combination media server and moving map computer. The unit allows
up to eight users to simultaneously stream content to a carry-on personal electronics device –
such as iPads®, iPhones®, smart phones, laptop computers and tablets. Using the FDS do
Experience application or a friendly web browser interface from Google Chrome or Safari,
content can be streamed from both of the ejectable 1 TB solid-state drives (one included) and
the external USB thumb drives simultaneously. The amount of data able to be accessed via
the do Capsule is only limited to the size of the ejectable hard drives and the USB thumb
drives. The moving map can be displayed on the user’s carry-on personal device. Both the
moving map and multi-media content can be displayed on a bulkhead monitor by hard wiring
the HDMI or VGA video output.
The do Capsule has the ability to interface with FDS Smart Cabin CMS to control many cabin
functions. This includes cabin lights, video, audio, and more.
The unit can be connected to a test Wi-Fi router or a permanently installed, certified Wi-Fi
product such as the Satcom Direct WIFI Hub. For optimal streaming performance FDS
recommends an 802.11ac router, however an 802.11n router can be used but performance
may be limited. Users simply connect to the Wi-Fi network, launch the FDS do Experience
application or type in the web address of the do Capsule. Users are then ready to access the
media and map wirelessly from their own devices. The unit has (4) rear facing USB ports.
These can be used to playback content stored directly on a thumb drive or USB hard drive.

Installation Instructions
All cabin equipment, such as the do CAPSULE, should be installed on a non-essential bus and
have a dedicated circuit breaker. There are (8) #10 mounting locations on the unit: (4) on
the side flange and (4) on the bottom flange (Refer to the Technical Drawing on page 22). FDS
Avionics recommends using at least (4) #10 screws on the bottom flange or the side flange.
Mounting the unit with (2) #10 screws on each side is also an acceptable method of mounting
the unit. The unit requires adequate airflow to prevent overheating. The top and the side
ventilation holes must be unobstructed to allow the forced air cooling of the system to operate.
FDS Avionics recommends one inch of clearance to allow adequate intake and exhaust of air.
Video Wiring Suggestions
For balanced signals on twisted pair cable, all shields should be grounded to the connector at
the source, and floating at the display.
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:
AC wiring
Strobe wiring
DC motor supply cables
Inverter cabling
Or any other potential noise source.

VGA Wiring
Recommended cable for VGA purpose is Carlisle P/N 453005 (formerly ECS). This is a single
shielded cable containing 5 separate coaxial cables, color-coded to match the functions of the
wires.
We recommend coax cables be terminated using solder sleeve coaxial cable terminators such
as Raychem Part Number CWT-4174-W122-5/9.
Power and Ground Wiring
The rated current of the equipment and associated voltage drop should be taken into
consideration when selecting wire gauge. The following example is based on an install with a
28VDC power system, 1.5 amp equipment load and a total of 50 feet of wire between the
circuit breaker, monitor and ground.
Example: 22awg wire has 16.2 Ohms per 1000 feet, this equates to .81 Ohms for 50 feet. 1.5
Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop 1.22 Volts.

only and is reserved for the use of FDS Avionics Corp.
2. SSD Access Panel
Access to insert or remove the Solid State Drives is accomplished by turning the thumb screw
located in the lower left hand corner of the access panel. We recommend the SSD from
Samsung, P/N MZ-75E1T0B, 850 EVO2.5” 1TB SATA III. The use of a different brand may
impact performance. The SATA SSD is not hot-swappable and must be removed and
replaced when the system is in a powered off state. Failure to follow these guidelines
can prevent the system from recognizing the SSD and its contents. NTFS is the
recommended file system for both SSDs and USB thumb drives with the do CAPSULE.

Moving Map (Bulkhead Operation)
When the FDS do2D Moving Map starts, the application will start in an initialization mode until a valid
present position is obtained from aircraft’s avionics systems. During the initialization mode, three
screens will continuously cycle: do, do360, and do3D.
Once a valid position is obtained, the map will transition from the initialization mode to the preflight
mode. In this mode, there are three screens visible by default: a single map view (low zoom level),
the relative locator page, and the pre-flight splash page. The pre-flight splash page can be
customized for a fee. Contact the FDS sales department for more information.
Once the aircraft reaches the inflight startup speed (50 knots for fixed wing and 15 knots for rotary
aircraft), the moving map transitions to the inflight mode. This is the mode that is utilized for the
majority of the flight. In this mode the pages cycle through the default pages and map zoom levels.
There are nine available map zoom levels and four “feature pages” including the Instrument Panel,
Flight Data Page, Relative Location Indicator, and the World Clock view.
