Lighting
Lutron lighting control system.
Features:
- Liquid Automation customised Google Earth interface: A 3D model of the yacht follows the position of the vessel in real-time. Using a touch panel, the user can virtually fly from the yacht to the surrounding area.
- Navigation instrumentation is relayed on the touch panels so the guests can see yacht information e.g. boat speed, wind speed, wind direction, water temp.
- Navigation sources are distributed over fibre via a 16 x 16 high definition Digital Media Matrix to the Pilothouse and Flybridge screens. Using fibre gives the matrix complete optical isolation from the DC powered screens.
- The stereo image of the Owner’s Cabin follows the left and right orientation of the rotating TV.
- The Crestron system will email Liquid Automation if a range of faults occur. For example, Crestron amps will tell us if any speaker has failed or if racks reach preset temperatures they will automatically shutdown and notify us.
- Global system mute on general alarm.
