In the world of luxury yachts, seamless entertainment delivery is paramount. Our recent collaboration with a system integration partner in the Netherlands exemplifies how SC&T AV over IP technology revolutionized TV distribution systems aboard multiple yachts.

Given that yachts often venture far from land, traditional cable and wireless TV options are impractical. Satellite TV systems become the best option as they offer global coverage, allowing passengers and crew to access a wide range of channels and programming.
Satellite TV systems are essential for obtaining real-time information, such as weather forecasts, navigation data, and news updates, ensuring safe and informed navigation.
AV over IP leverages wired network connections, ensuring stable signal transmission with minimal interference from other wireless devices. It offers low latency and minimal buffering, providing uninterrupted viewing experiences.
AV over IP, transmitted over physical network cables, mitigates the risks of signal tampering and unauthorized access, significantly improving security compared to wireless transmission methods.
AV over IP systems support remote control functionality, allowing users to switch channels seamlessly using their remote controls. This user-friendly feature requires minimal setup, preserving the convenience of remote control use.
When integrating AVoIP systems, you can house equipment in cabinet drawers, with each layer of drawers clearly labeled with signal numbers. Users can easily recognize each unit with this design, which also simplifies configuration adjustments.
The yacht's satellite TV boxes are connected to an AV over IP transmitter, extending signals up to 100 meters via network cables to network switches. Similarly, all AV over IP receivers in the rooms are connected to network switches via network cables; this will be the fundamental AVoIP system setup.
SC&T AV over IP supports remote control operation; users can switch channels with a remote control or panel buttons on each unit. In emergencies, RS232 control signals can be sent from the control room to the receiver to control a specific channel displayed.
In the yacht's control room, electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) are often set as a single channel. SC&T's AV over IP transmitters feature near-end output capabilities, which can send source signals to the control room's screen directly, eliminating the use of a splitter.
There are a lot of products like this around, but this product gives the best value for the money it costs.
Because we have a big system where transmitters and receivers are a small part of it, we don't use the manuals. We put them on a tray and set the transmitter to the same channel ID as the tray number, this way it is easy for everyone to understand. To change this, we have our own system manager where you can manage your trays and choose which area watches which tray.
Not really, the device gets used where it is made for.
