Onboard Entertainment Systems Overview

Best Installation Techniques for Onboard Entertainment Systems


Onboard Entertainment Overview

Clients have a wealth of entertainment at their fingertips in their workplaces and their homes and, in most cases, they expect the same conveniences onboard their yacht. Many manufacturers offer readily available products to provide that entertainment so what could be simpler?

Nothing more daunting than a mobile platform that produces it’s own power spends the majority of it’s life in the most hostile environment on the planet!

Electronics & water do not play well together.


Onboard Entertainment Overview Important Elements of a Successful Installation

• System Design

• Product Selection

• Installation Planning

• Installation Execution

#1 = Setting REALISTIC Client Expectations!!!


System Design What features does the client wish to have?

• Simple local area audio only (AM/FM/CD)

Now not so simple…

• iPod connectivity?

• Satellite radio audio?

• NMEA2000 integration?


System Design

What features does the client wish to have?

• Simple distributed audio and video?

• How many zones? What quality of signal?

Now not so simple (AGAIN)… • Streaming video from a shared source? • WiFi connectivity? • iPad connectivity & control?

You can only install a system properly if you understand what the client wants and how to give it to

them!


Product Selection

What equipment provides the features the client expects for the budget he has agreed to?

What vessel power is available? (12VDC?, 110VAC?, 220VAC?)

Which approach will you take to achieve the design? Stereo Heads Ends? Component Based Systems?

Will you incorporate peripherals? Satellite Entertainment? Control Systems?

What Display Technology will you use? Plasma? LCD/LED? DVI? HDMI?


Product Selection

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the products that you are considering selling?

How many inputs and outputs will the product accommodate? Scalability is an important consideration to clients

What is YOUR experience with product longevity? NO CONSUMER ELECTRONICS ARE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE POWER, TEMPERATURE, AND VIBRATION PROFILES ONBOARD A YACHT!!!

What is the return policy of the distributor? (Most consumer electronics companies offer 30days DOA replacement only, after that send the defective for repair!)


Product Selection

Common Video Format Primer (Analog)

• Composite Video (Analog, limited to 480i, High Definition not possible)

The lowest quality of video signal, but also one of the most common, found in everything from video games to VHS machines and DVD players. Composite is limited to 480i (standard definition) resolution. Once you’ve seen a higher end high definition signal (720p, 1080i, 1080p), chances are you’ll abandon all sources using composite video


Product Selection


• S-Video Video (Analog, limited to 480i, High Definition not possible)

One step above a composite video signal but still limited to 480i (standard definition) signals. S-Video signal is about 25% better in picture detail than a composite video signal, so wherever possible, use an S-Video feed to send to the projector over a composite video signal. Due to the black and white and chroma (color) signal being run separately within an S-video cable, the general recommended length of an S-video cable is limited to 30 feet or less.


Product Selection


• Component/YPbPr Video (Analog, 480i to 1080p resolutions supported)

High definition signals usually come in 1080i or 720p outputs from a high definition cable/satellite box and 1080i, 720p, or 1080p from HD-DVD/Blu-Ray players. Note: A component signal is NOT the same as an RGB signal even through the color coding is the same. The signals in component cables are broken up differently than those carried in an RGBHV cable so you cannot switch between the two using simple cables.


Product Selection


• RGBHV Video (Analog, 480i to 1080p resolutions supported)

RGBHV signals also come in varying resolutions and can support from a basic 480i video signal all the way up to 1080p and beyond. Some devices use each color and one for both the H and V sync signals. This is referred to as 'RGBs' or RGB with composite sync.

An older format will sometimes only use 3 cables by running the sync signals along with the green video signal. This is referred to as RGsB or RGB with sync on green.


Product Selection

Common Video Format Primer (Digital)

• DVI Video (Digital, 480i to 1080p and beyond resolutions supported)

DVI and HDMI are the highest quality signals available. The video signals of a DVI and an HDMI cable are very similar. The HDMI cable is a later version that also adds digital audio (a DVI connector only carries digital video). Adapters to convert the video signal between DVI and HDMI connectors can be found at any good audio video store or online for very cheap.


Product Selection

Common Video Format Primer (Digital) • DVI Video (cont’d) DVI-A: Analog only. Content is found on the four pin group that's separate from the main pin group. DVI-D: Digital only. The four pin group is usually not even present. If it is present, there is no content being carried on it. DVI-I: Both analog and digital. Both groups are active.

DVI you can think of as basically digital RGB, it sends digital

8-bit RGB format signals and supports high resolutions.


Product Selection

Common Video Format Primer (Digital) • HDMI Video

HDMI is the newer, more capable version of DVI which adds audio capabilities, and also makes high definition copy protection (HDCP) mandatory whereas in DVI it was optional. HDMI is backwards compatible, so you can use HDMI-to-DVI adapters or cables and the devices will just revert to basic DVI capabilities which is 8-bit RGB without audio.

If you use HDMI to HDMI, then you're not limited to standard DVI capabilities, and also have digital audio capabilities such as: Dolby Digital, DTS, high-resolution PCM, etc. The newest version of HDMI (HDMI 1.3 and higher) allows un-decoded high res and high res lossless versions of Dolby Digital (True HD) and DTS (DTS-HD Master Audio) for HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc.

A Problematic Term

Scope Creep – Refers to uncontrolled changes or continuous growth in a project's scope. This phenomenon can occur when the scope of a project is not properly defined, documented, or controlled. Typically, the scope increase consists of either new products or new features of already approved product designs, without corresponding increases in resources, schedule, or budget. As the scope of a project grows, more tasks must be completed within the budget and schedule originally designed for a smaller set of tasks. If you do not set client expectations properly or if you are unfamiliar with the products you are integrating into your system, you will DEFINITELY learn what Scope Creep is!

Terminology


Some Common Causes of Scope Creep

A disingenuous customer with a determined "value for free" policy;

Poor change control;

Lack of proper initial identification of what is required to bring about the project objectives;

A weak project manager or executive sponsor;

Poor communication between parties;

Terminology

Assuming a 25% GPM how much scope creep can you absorb before the project will fail to produce a profit?



Entertainment Installation Planning

DC Based Systems

• Current consumption concerns & planning Refer to NMEA V0400 Installation Standards for proper wire sizing when connecting components.

An Class D amplifier that is 90% efficient, is being sourced from 12VDC (11V for the math), and is outputting 130W to the mains and 330W to the Subwoofer is drawing 49A.

#8AWG power connection is only good up to 5ft!

Over that you need to increase to #4AWG until you get to 15feet, THEN you need #2AWG.

How hot is TOO hot?

Here is some interesting reading regarding the effect of thermal environments on electronic components…

The Case for Thermal Planning “Reliability Through Thermal Management”

“…from the quality assurance department's point of view, if we can lower the temperature by 10 degrees, we'll double the reliability.” – Steve Somers, Extron

“85ºF is the maximum recommended constant operating temperature for most equipment; it will help provide a long service life for the equipment inside an enclosure. Why 85ºF? Most studies have shown that for every 10ºF rise over 85ºF, digital equipment life is reduced by approximately 40%!” - Bob Schluter, Middle Atlantic Products

Waste Heat Calculation

Practical Application “Reliability Through Thermal Management”

Most equipment converts almost all of the power drawn into waste heat. In calculating BTU/Hr, output for most equipment is simple: the more current it draws, the more BTU/Hr. will be produced. One Watt of current equates to 3.413BTU/hr At 117 volts, each ampere of current drawn produces exactly 400 BTU/Hr. of heat output.

Waste Heat Calculation


Consider a black box processor running a 25kW radar which consumes 249W: 3.413BTU/hr x 249W = 850 BTU/hr of waste heat. This amount of waste heat needs to be considered and addressed when planning the layout of your installation. Furthermore, you need to consider ALL generation of waste heat in the spaces where you will be placing electronics components.

Airflow Considerations


There are three airflows involved in a thermal system: How the heat is produced by the equipment How the air moves throughout the space How space heat is removed. The interactions between these airflows are important, and must be considered when taking a systems approach.

Design Considerations


How is the equipment designed to dissipate waste heat?

Radiation (from the device) Conduction (utilizes heat sinks) Convection (utilizes fans)

In general heat sinks are used to increase the heat dissipation from hot devices because the heat dissipation between the heat sink and the surrounding air is more efficient than between the device and the surrounding air. The thermal energy transfer efficiency of heat sinks is due to the small thermal resistance between the heat sink and the air



How does air move throughout the space?



How is waste heat removed?

ACTIVE (forced air)

PASSIVE (convected air)



Whether you will be using a forced air or convection system to manage your waste heat for your installation, there is one important rule to keep in mind:

DO NOT ALLOW HOT SPOTS TO OCCUR!

Improper thermal planning can actually create heat build up that would not have existed if you had done nothing.

NMEA 2000 and Fusion Marine Entertainment

Todd Crocker Fusion Marine

• Develop a product line that integrates with other NMEA 2000 Products

• Provide a whole new level of UI for the customer • Develop partnerships with key category

providers to allow the end-user and boat builders significant choices

• Provide a superior wireless interface at the same time

The Opportunity

FUSION-Link

• FUSION-Link is a network software protocol. A defined list of commands for controlling Fusion head units.

• It gives manufacturers of display units (chart plotter manufacturers, etc.) the ability to control our head units.

• They can design a fully featured user interface, running on their devices, as comprehensive as the FUSION head unit UI itself

• Over 100 commands, controlling every aspect of the Fusion device are defined in the FUSION-Link specification.

• FUSION-Link is network agnostic. Commands are sent as small data packets that can be sent over a wide range of network types, Ethernet, NMEA2000, WiFi, etc.

In the above example FUSION-Link runs over the vessel Ethernet network. The NMEA2000 network is used to connect remotes to head units.

Ethernet and WiFi • Many major marine electronics companies incorporate Ethernet as a means of

networking devices.

• To be compatible with these systems the 700 series provides Ethernet networking.

• Ethernet provides a fast transport method of running FUSION-Link

• Ethernet is fast enough to allow FUSION-Link graphics, such as album art, to be sent over the network.

• Ethernet provides a simple means of connection to Wi-Fi routers and hence iPhones and iPads.

• Our Ethernet implementation does NOT provide a method for connecting to the WWW. We don’t provide a means of browsing the web or connecting to external IP addresses.

Ethernet and WiFi Connection Instructions

• Wireless IP router required, most domestic routers should work ok. • The 700 head unit utilises dynamic IP address assignment. • DHCP must be enabled on the router. The router needs to be

configured before connecting the 700 head unit. • Fully automatic connection to Ethernet networks. • No user setup screens

Network Connection: 1. Connect Ethernet port to existing network or wireless router. 2. Power up 700 head unit. It will go through a network discovery

process as part of the power up process. 3. Display the ‘About’ screen to confirm an IP address has been

allocated Note: if the 700 head unit fails to connect to the network. Power off the head unit, check cable connections and power on again to repeat the network discovery process.

iPod and iPhone Compatibility MS-IP700 (sleeve)

MS-AV700 (cable) MS-DKIPUSB (sleeve)

For the iPod nano (6th gen), the iPod must be placed inside the adaptor sleeve, and then placed inside Dock sleeve combination A + B

MS-AV700 - Connect your iPod or iPhone via the standard Apple sync cable at the rear of the unit for connectivity. MS-DKIPUSB Portable Media Device Dock will connect to the MS-AV700 stereo and provide iPod or iPhone integration

(MS-IP700 and MS-DKIPUSB) A different set of sleeves is used for each iPod or iPhone model. The sleeve combinations are outlined in the chart below: Top Sleeve Bottom Sleeve iPhone 4S A D iPhone 4 A D iPhone 3GS F F iPhone 3G F F iPod touch 2nd gen D D iPod touch 3rd gen D A iPod touch 4th gen D D iPod nano 4th gen E E iPod nano 5th gen G G iPod nano 6th gen A B + Adaptor iPod classic, 80GB B A iPod classic, 160GB (2007) B B iPod classic, 120GB B A iPod classic, 160GB (2009) B A
