These relatively smaller environments provide grand accommodations for owners and their guests, delivering independent entertainment and lighting needs in different areas through the seamless innovations of AMX control and automation. For example, strategically placed AMX Touch Panels enhance the travel experience, blending luxury and simplicity with flawless one-touch control, in the smallest of quarters — on the road, in the air, and especially over water. Welcome aboard the London Lady luxury yacht, proudly owned by a retired CEO of a foreign exchange and money market brokerage firm on Wall Street. This 118-foot vessel docks in the sunshine and blue waters of Stuart, Fla., a city located about 100 miles north of Miami in the heart of what is called the Treasure Coast. With temperatures ranging from winter lows in the 60s to summer highs in the 80s, Stuart is the perfect place to relax, especially after a successful 40-year career. And why not do it in style? First, you order a custom-built private yacht. Then, you fully integrate it with one-touch AMX control for the ultimate in convenience, comfort and luxury. In many of today's electronic homes, AMX Control Systems and Touch Panels are the products of choice to automate home theaters, kitchens, bedrooms, great rooms and dining rooms. The London Lady settles for nothing less, bringing the salon, master stateroom, guest staterooms, crew quarters, lazarette (a small locker at the stern of a boat or a storeroom between decks of a ship), galley and dining room to life using AMX technology. The AMX Landmark Control System and AMX Touch Panels offer end-user simplicity and a cost-effective solution for total control and full-fledged audio/video distribution. According to Tony Belz of Fox Audio-Video, a local AMX Dealer based in Stuart, this kind of technology gives the owner exactly what he desires: Big bang for the buck. Resting on tables and mounted to walls throughout the ship, two wireless AMX ViewPoint Touch Panels and 10 DMS (Direct Menu Select) Keypads, both sleek and unobtrusive in overall design, fit in nicely with the yacht's French-English interior décor. The London Lady boasts a a broad 23-foot beam and spacious interior layout, equipped with numerous televisions, stereos, satellite receivers and home theater components. The ship has 14 rooms with 14 separate zones capable of displaying video and/or audio entertainment, including independent satellite signals in every room. The satellite antenna is mounted to a gyroscopic-tracking device to keep the signal strong as the yacht travels along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Gyroscopic tracking allows the antenna to aim at the proper satellite point in the sky, at all times, as the ship continues to navigate in any direction. As with any yacht, storage space is at a premium. Speakers and electronic video devices are installed in the ceiling and tucked out-of-sight into cabinets. Wiring is concealed in the headliner. The heart of the system, the equipment rack, sits out-of-view in a small closet. The Landmark system is engineered to communicate with thousands of different consumer electronics. Specialized third-party equipment that could be controlled from an AMX Touch Panel include: 9 Sony televisions 10 Sony satellite tuners 2 Integra DVD players 18 Sonance in-ceiling speakers 1 Sony VCR player 1 Sony CD mega changer 2 Integra DVD player
