New generation audio visual experience for Burkut
August 11th, 2015
Veritais Ltd has completed a substantial audio visual upgrade on the 54m motor yacht Burkut. Veritais, a leading consultancy and supplier of audio visual systems for luxury yachts, surveyed the existing systems on the yacht and made detailed recommendations before embarking on a project to bring all systems up to date
The result of the extensive overhaul is that Burkut has a superior audio visual and remote control system which uses the very latest technology and is extremely easy and convenient to operate from anywhere on board. Wi fi function was also been optimised.
Burkut (formerly Baraka) is a 54m motor yacht, custom built in 2009 by Baglietto and designed by Francesco Paszkowski.
Replacements and upgrades have included fitted iPod and iPad docks in the gym, main saloon and sky lounge, along with Apple TV with Optical Audio converter in all three areas, as well as upgrades to the main Creston System, which gives full access and control to the onboard systems.
In addition the master cabin has benefitted from a full check of the Crestron system and all lower guest cabins have been supplied with new processors and cabling to improve functionality. The guest cabins have also each benefited from a new remote control handset with dock. As in the rest of the yacht the handsets control remote functions to TV and audio.
All the yacht’s audio visual functions have been fully integrated using two VLAN network connections to allow the AV to be operated much more simply, and the wifi to be fully efficient and optimised.
A central laptop controls remote access to the Creston and LAN management which will be controlled by the ship’s engineer.
Veritais is based in the UK but the company’s engineering teams operate on a global basis. The Burkut upgrade was carried out pre-season in Genoa.
“As with many of our projects, it was not just a case of providing equipment,” comments David Milner of Veritais. “Burkut’s original system needed extensive review and diagnosis to consider what improvements and replacements were needed. Following on from that we designed a new package of solutions and considered the best products for easy and reliable functionality.”
