01

Camera Network

Multi-angle capture

A distributed camera array covering deck, cockpit, helm, mast, and underwater positions — all networked to a central production hub for live switching and recording.

  • Fixed-mount 4K cameras at key deck positions
  • Gyro-stabilised gimbal units for underway footage
  • Underwater hull and keel cameras
  • Mast-head wide-angle for sail and horizon coverage
  • PTZ cameras in saloon and cockpit for social content
02

Connectivity

Always-on bandwidth

Redundant satellite and cellular uplinks ensure continuous high-bandwidth connectivity for live streaming, cloud backup, and remote production collaboration regardless of location.

  • VSAT primary uplink — up to 100 Mbps symmetric
  • Starlink maritime as secondary / failover
  • 4G/5G coastal bonding via multi-SIM router
  • SD-WAN load balancing across all uplinks
  • Dedicated VLAN for production traffic
03

Production Hub

Onboard edit suite

A compact but professional production suite below decks handles live switching, colour grading, graphics overlay, and multi-platform simultaneous streaming.

  • Hardware video switcher with 8+ inputs
  • Real-time colour correction and LUT application
  • Lower-third and motion graphics engine
  • Simultaneous stream to Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
  • NAS-based local recording at full resolution
04

Audio System

Broadcast-grade audio

Wireless lavalier and boom microphone systems, deck-mounted ambient arrays, and a digital mixing console deliver clean audio for both live and post-produced content.

  • UHF wireless lavalier system — 8 channels
  • Deck-mounted boundary microphones for ambient capture
  • Digital mixing console with remote tablet control
  • Noise-gating and wind-rejection DSP processing
  • Dante audio-over-IP distribution to all record points
05

Network Infrastructure

Marine-grade networking

A fully managed onboard LAN with PoE switches, fibre backbone between decks, and a dedicated production VLAN keeps camera feeds, storage, and streaming traffic isolated and reliable.

  • Managed PoE switches at each camera cluster
  • Fibre backbone between engine room, saloon, and helm
  • Dedicated production VLAN isolated from guest Wi-Fi
  • UPS battery backup for all production equipment
  • Remote monitoring and management via cloud dashboard
06

Mobile & Social

Creator-ready workflow

Crew and guests can contribute content directly from mobile devices via a secure onboard media ingest portal, with automatic formatting for Stories, Reels, and short-form platforms.

  • Secure onboard media ingest portal (iOS + Android)
  • Automatic vertical crop and reformat for Reels / TikTok
  • Scheduled post queue with caption and hashtag templates
  • Brand watermark and colour-grade presets applied on ingest
  • Direct API publish to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
07

Distribution

Multi-platform reach

Content is distributed simultaneously across owned channels and syndicated to partner networks, with analytics fed back to the production hub for real-time performance monitoring.

  • Simultaneous live stream to 4+ platforms
  • Automated clip extraction and highlight reel generation
  • CDN-backed VOD hosting for long-form content
  • Analytics dashboard aggregating cross-platform metrics
  • Press and media partner RSS / API feed
08

Power & Resilience

Uninterrupted operation

Dedicated shore-power and generator circuits, UPS units at every production node, and a hot-swap battery system ensure the production platform stays live through any sea state.

  • Dedicated 32A shore-power circuit for production systems
  • Online UPS at production hub — 30-minute runtime
  • Automatic generator start on shore-power loss
  • Surge and transient protection on all inputs
  • Remote power cycling via IP PDU
