REVOLUTIONARY INTEGRATED ENTERTAINMENT AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR YACHT OWNERS

C A Clase, one of the UK's leading distributors of marine electronics for leisure and commercial users, is launching the revolutionary System Orca, a bespoke fully integrated onboard multimedia entertainment system. Designed specifically for the marine market, System Orca is a highly cost effective yet simple solution for yacht owners to access all media including satellite TV, radio, CDs, DVDs, MP3 Jukebox, PVR, photos, and CCTV.

UK designed and engineered System Orca has been developed for ease of use, integrating all of the entertainment systems onboard into one seamless system benefiting from one controller, which alleviates the need for third party control systems. Available as a stand alone unit, the system can easily be expanded to incorporate more areas on the vessel either as stand alone or integrated systems. There are several upgrade options available including StoreSO, which provides network storage for CDs, DVDs and photos, StreamSO, a streamline solution for decoders, CCTV and navigation displays or ConnectSO, a cost effective server for easy integration of all onboard communications.

System Orca boasts a host of sophisticated features including satellite and terrestrial TV options, an electronic programme guide, the facility to pause or record live TV viewings, record future programmes and set reminders for the system to change channels, offering owners access to popular entertainment whilst onboard. The system can play DVDs and CDs locally as well as satellite radio. Music and films can be accessed from the onboard library if users have opted for the StoreSO version. A jukebox facility is also available, allowing users to play their favourite albums, select specific tracks or to create play lists from stored content.

In addition, owners can check out any digital images they have taken whilst onboard by using the photo viewer function. Images can be displayed via the local CD / DVD drive, USB port or StoreSO if installed; owners also have the option to enjoy listening to music, DVD or TV audio whilst viewing their pictures.

At the hub of System Orca is the 370mm x 65mm x 330mm TuchSO processor; one unit is needed for each area where access to all or part of the system is required. TuchSO is available with a terrestrial or satellite receiver and is exceptionally easy to install. The cabin displays do not need to be TV tuners, saving space and cost by enabling owners to fit simple, neat monitors.

The system is controlled via touch screens common throughout the vessel; with one screen enabling users to control more than a single processor. Owners can choose from wired touch screens 8", 12" or 15" or the 8" wireless option.

System Orca is available in customised or standard system configurations designed to suit the discerning yacht owner. Prices start at £4999.00 Inc VAT. C A Clase is the sole distributor of System Orca within the UK.
