The AirWorks In Flight Entertainment System per aircraft will include 6 retractable LCD screens, a Digital Video File Server and Audio Server. The new AirWorks LCD provides over 450 NITs with a resolution of 800 RGB X 480, the Video Server supplies over 60 hours of Long Playing Movies, while the Audio server provides 16 channels of Stereo music to the passenger. With a total weight of only 79 pounds the system generates substantial fuel savings for the aircraft operator.

Full press release. More information on the Fokker 100 aircraft on this airliners.net page. Standard domestic Fokker 100's have about 100 seats; with only 6 LCD screens per airplane, this is a very light commercial IFE installation.
