CRUISE CONTROL

BY SENSORY INTERNATIONAL & AMX

those unmissable live performances, plus there was a requirement for a permanent cinema system in addition to the standard LCD and plasma displays.

Pivotal to the brief was the need to bring together all these disparate technological elements as part of a central control system that was intuitively easy for the owner to operate. In meeting this comprehensive list of system requirements, Sensory International harnessed the power of AMX, and designed and installed an all-encompassing technological solution which would win it coveted industry recognition at the CEDIA Awards 2014 for Best Yacht Installation.

With its impressive entertainment provision, which includes a games room, external cinema and the ability to audio-visually accommodate live performances, this stunning marine application of AMX technology certainly puts the super in superyacht -even the grand piano has been factored into the system and can be broadcast around the vessel for collective listening pleasure! And, in order to ensure that its lucky occupants are not all at sea with the on-board technology, leading systems integrator Sensory International has equipped the yacht with what is now an award-winning AMX control solution, designed to ensure that technological operation is nothing short of plain sailing.

The impressively specified games room is unquestionably the star of the show and is one of the most frequently used areas of the boat. The room features dual screens with independent video and audio source selection, so that two different video sources can be watched independently, with the ability to select audio from either of those video sources or any other audio source users wish to choose. The external cinema features a drop-down screen and a special projector which allows it to be viewed during hot sunny days, or in the evening under the stars.

The second installation that Sensory has undertaken for this particular client and his captain, and the brief was comprehensive.

A fully integrated lighting control system; state-of-the-art audiovisual distribution in full HD; an IT and data network infrastructure, complete with a full security CCTV, VSAT & GSM communication systems; were all to be part of the impressive technical specification. An iPod and iPad-driven steward call system was also requested, as well as Global audio throughout for

consideration was given when designing the projector housing; a special air conditioned waterproof enclosure was designed to keep the projector and its bulb cool throughout the day and night.

VSAT & GSM communications have also been installed throughout and the capabilities of Microsoft Lync have been harnessed to allow waiting staff to be called using the on-board iPads, of which there are no fewer than 21, and iPods. These smart devices are also transformed into fully functional wireless touch panels for controlling the yacht’s central AMX system thanks to the AMX App. This innovative Application connects as a native AMX device to the yacht’s AMX NetLinx masters to provide real-time, touch control of automation functions including the distributed AV system, Lutron lighting system, blinds and room temperature.

Developed in conjunction with authorised product partner Touch Panel Control, the AMX App supports all of the G3/ G4 core command set directly, without the need to reprogram or adjust existing systems. And, unlike other solutions, the application interacts directly with the system controller to provide full MJPEG video support, control and feedback, as fast as a regular panel. Additional control capability is provided by 21 Mio Modero R-4 remotes which provide custom control features and include a 2.4-inch fullcolour, active-matrix TFT LCD touch panel, ZigBee wireless technology and two-way communication for unlimited control of on-board devices; all in an elegant handheld rechargeable unit.

The impressively specified games room is the technological star of the show.

This stunning boat puts the super in superyacht

No fewer than 12 NI-2100, 2 NI-900 and 2 NI-3100 NetLinx controllers provide the technological brains behind the yacht’s entire automation solution, allowing the vast array of disparate systems to become integrated as part of the central AMX control system.

So, with its award-winning, AMX-driven technology, this stunning marine installation by Sensory International certainly puts a new spin on the term cruise-control!
