Motor yacht 'A' stylish tenders by Philippe Starck
March 2010
Superyachts.com: Motor Yacht 'A' is deemed to be one of the most iconic superyachts ever designed. Her designer, Philippe Starck, also created some of the most stylish tenders to compliment the superyacht to ferry her guests ashore.
Liquid Automation’s CEDIA award winning entertainment systems provide one simple, intuitive way to select and use any number of entertainment devices, including radio, iPOD, Apple TV, DVD, audio video server, satellite TV, digital terrestrial TV and IPTV.
Audio video is distributed around the yacht in true 1920x1080 high definition over a custom fibre optic or ethernet based media matrix.
Our controllers give feedback directly to the wireless remote. This allows fast and easy searching for music from the media server or iPod docks without looking at your TV. Our remote controls mimic the intuitive iPod-like user interface. Importantly, our remote controls give a quick description of current activity with no danger of getting lost.
Our custom system has an extensive range of preloaded controls for satellite, terrestrial and digital decoders from around the world.At the touch of a button, the ship’s engineer can select the country the yacht is in, thereby selecting the correct control for that region’s decoder. In addition, the radio frequency steps will change, allowing for a true worldwide capable entertainment system.
The health of your system is monitored constantly. Should an amplifier, speaker or other device fail, the system will notify the failure locally to the ship’s engineer, as well as contact Liquid Automation.
All equipment rack temperatures are constantly monitored, ensuring the system controller will notify all crew touch panels of the rising temperature. The system controller will also shutdown and protect the equipment from excessive temperature.
Liquid Automation can design and integrate many automated devices including custom LCD/art work lifts to waterproof marine projection screens.
The freedom to work seamlessly on board can extend the available time to enjoy your investment. What better place to do work than in your own office at sea? Just because you are away from work does not mean you cannot check in from time to time. Dialling is a breeze; just a simple press of the preset contact from your touch screen and you are in business.
We have the ability to adapt to specific vessel limitations and provide a seamless result for you, the end user.
If there are not enough decoders for every cabin there will be a priority order. For example, if there was a yacht with 12 TV’s and only three decoders, the priority would be:
When the saloon selects Sat TV first, it takes Sat decoder #2 and will have full control. If any other area selects Sat TV on the remote, Sat TV #2 will show as “IN USE” by the saloon, A and a banner will appear on the screen over the Sat TV page, showing that the saloon has control. Local control will not be available until the saloon either switches off or selects a different source. If a crew area selects Sat TV, no “IN USE” indication will appear on any guest remotes. So if a guest selects the same decoder they will take over the control and the crew area will get the “IN USE” indication.
