Delivered to her American owner in November 2020, the 49m long full-custom M/Y EIV superyacht combines the experience of Rossinavi and Venetian design studio Team for Design, in charge of exterior and interior design, with technologies and mechanical components from the United States. The result is a unique superyacht with lines of timeless elegance enclosing impressive interior spaces, accommodating four spacious double cabins and a master suite on the forward part of the main deck, and a private terrace to starboard, all equipped with the latest technology in the service of comfort.

Entertainment systems add to the possibilities for relaxing on board of this elegant 49m long yacht, as demonstrated by the sophisticated Party Mode system. The lighting system engineered by Videoworks and blinds are entirely based on Lutron hardware, one of the leading manufacturers of lighting control systems. Videoworks designed the AV/IT, CCTV, telephone, and lighting systems as well as the system engineering (liaising with electricians and lighting suppliers) and supplied the materials for the electrical panels and the control keypads, complete with silk-screen printing, to make time on board even more pleasant and comfortable. The AV/IT system is based on the philosophy of a centralised system with all the main electronics installed in three 42-unit rack cabinets (about 2m high). All the hardware for the IT infrastructure (cabled and Wi-Fi) is made by CISCO, known for its worldwide reliability and performance. The telephone system includes both fxed telephones in the technical areas and cordless telephones, and is connected to the GSM and satellite lines on board.

Federico Rossi, COO of Rossinavi, shares, “Superyachts are the perfect way to travel the world, so it’s important not only to install topquality technological components, but to create a group able to provide assistance and support anywhere in the world. A synergy we can offer, thanks to Videoworks and its partners.”

Latest systems integrations now include being able to watch a soccer match on a big ultrahigh resolution screen, listen to music with >>

speakers faithfully reproducing pure sounds, host a party on board, easily manage lights, blinds, air- conditioning and multi-media content, and enjoy a safe, reliable internet connection. The Rossinavi M/Y EIV is the perfect example of this. The M/Y EIV’s upper deck cinema lounge is equipped with a SONY 4K projector and an impressive 100-inch screen. Both projector and screen feature electrical movement allowing them to ‘disappear’ into the ceiling when not in use.

Owners and guests can enjoy a complete audiovisual experience thanks to the many sources available, including: • Kaleidescape 4K video on demand • Apple TV and associated services • Kartina IP TV • Satellite TV (EU - USA) • BD/DVD player • Airplay audio-video streaming • Auxiliary HDMI sockets

The Party Mode system allows the same music source to be played in shared spaces and in the guests’ and owners’ cabins. The owners’ cabin also features a 4K screen, hidden behind a special mirror to conceal it from view when not in use. The crew cabins, laundry, and galley areas are equipped with a simple but comprehensive audiovisual system including TV and Apple TV. The CCTV system, made up entirely of Panasonic, Canon, and Axis professional products, includes eight high-resolution IP cameras, two control stations with Milestone software, and a network recorder for recording video fows and archiving them in encrypted form. The CCTV system is also equipped with a motion alarm connected to the vessel’s monitoring system. Two wall-mounted touchscreens, located in the crew area and in the pantry, allow the control of the audio of the common areas (Party Mode included) and the tracking of the Satellite TV dishes. In addition, they even show a comprehensive view of the racks temperature, with an over-temperature audible alarm to prevent any warming issues.

Following the delivery of the Rossinavi M/Y EIV last November, a handover took place between Videoworks Med and Videoworks USA, with the participation of the onboard ETO. This solution made it possible to take stock of some of the yacht’s needs (such as installation of TV SAT software for the USA) prior to its departure for the United States, thus optimising the entire after-sales service.
