  • Crestron 3.6” colour touch panel in the Pilothouse for monitoring equipment rack temperatures and controlling Pilothouse audio as well as selecting the correct satellite decoders for the various regions of the world.

  • The Crestron system controls all switching of the navigation sources via Liquid Automation’s glass bridge switching solution for video, trackballs, mouse and keyboards.

Audio/Video Server

  • Kaleidescape – 8 zones with high definition movie/music players and 3 zones with music players.

Audio

Marantz home theatre systems combined with SpeakerCraft in-ceiling speakers and Velodyne subs are used in the Owner and Saloon areas. Deck areas have the selection of distributed audio via Crestron amps and SpeakerCraft speakers.

Each crew member has access to the ships navigation and entertainment systems via an overhead dropdown type DVD/CD player at each bunk location. Audio is via headphones.

Video

  • 20 video zones with a variety of 15”-57” LCD TVs.

  • Dual screens in both the Owner’s Cabin and Cockpit allows multiple sources to be shown simultaneously.

Lighting

Lutron lighting control has been used extensively throughout the yacht. This provides simple scene selections and mood settings throughout the main common areas. Control has also been integrated with the wireless remotes.

CCTV

  • FLIR Gyro-stabilized thermal and colour camera mounted on the second spreader.

  • Masthead camera is a military grade PTZ type day & night camera with a built in window wiper.

Features

  • Crestron system monitors and records the equipment rack temperatures and will shut down any area that goes over a pre-defined temperature.

  • Dual monitors in the Owner’s Cabin and Cockpit areas allow the user to watch two different sources at once. For example, a movie on one and the chart plotter on the other.

  • The Crestron system will email Liquid Automation and the yacht’s engineers of events, as well as any faults to the Crestron system.

  • Crestron program changes can be downloaded to the yacht anywhere in the world with access via satellite.

  • Satellite decoders have three options of video outputs from standard definition to digital high definition.

  • Preloaded IR codes for worldwide satellite decoders. This allows for simple switching between different decoders around the world.
