Videoworks, the AV and IT ecosystem on board Amor à Vida
Videoworks has curated the design, integration, and implementation of a complete platform of audio-video, IT, and communication systems on board Amor à Vida, a 67-meter Superyacht from the CRN shipyard.
The system simplifies maintenance operations through a centralized implementation, ensuring maximum flexibility; all AV and network devices are installed in dedicated technical racks, easily accessible and manageable.
“With Amor à Vida, our goal was to create a single fully integrated digital ecosystem capable of combining entertainment, communications, automation, and cybersecurity while maintaining ease of use and management,” says Maurizio Minossi, CEO of Videoworks. “Thanks to the centralization of the infrastructure and the adoption of AV-over-IP technologies, we have developed a platform that offers high flexibility, reliability, and future scalability, meeting the needs of both the owner and the charter business.”
The Videoworks system consists of an IP network that allows high-definition audio-video distribution in all onboard environments and can easily integrate any updates, the entire system is managed by the Crestron platform, which allows the crew to control lighting, entertainment, and onboard systems via a tablet or smartphone. A dedicated application for the Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) enables centralized monitoring of all connected equipment, with remote diagnostics and device reboots simplifying technical interventions.
Amor à Vida integrates low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite services, traditional satellite communications, and 5G connectivity, achieving connection speeds close to 1 Gbit/s under the most favorable conditions. A luxury standard typically designed for high-end residences.
Videoworks, support and services
The platform also supports the yacht’s operational activities through professional crew communication systems, announcements from the bridge, video surveillance (CCTV), and secure Wi-Fi coverage in all areas of the vessel, including technical spaces.
“Our responsibility does not end with the delivery of the yacht,” adds Minossi. “We are committed to ensuring guests have a seamless and uninterrupted entertainment experience. Thanks to the integration of AV and IT systems, airtime services, and continuous monitoring from our 24/7 active NOC, we can support the vessel anywhere in the world.”
Performance, flexibility, and resilience worthy of one of the most technologically advanced superyachts, ensuring the owner, guests, and crew a high-quality onboard experience, connected and supported by continuous assistance. Videoworks is a global leader in the design and integration of AV/IT systems, security, automation, and entertainment for luxury yachting. The company combines cutting-edge engineering with user-centered design, creating smart and seamless onboard experiences.
