Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an Internet protocol (IP) based remote control type offshore structure and a marine broadcasting system having an emergency and distress announcement broadcasting function, and more particularly, Based broadcasting system capable of converting an IP-based broadcasting system into digital communication.

All ships are equipped with a broadcasting system so that crew members can respond promptly in case of emergency or distress. These broadcast broadcasting systems for marine broadcasting are connected with the important devices or monitoring systems of vessels, and in case of emergency and distress situations, important matters related to important ship safety navigation in the central broadcasting room or specific restricted places are sent in various forms such as directives, To passengers and crews so that they can respond promptly. In the case of ship distress accidents occurring at home and abroad in the recent years, emergency distress broadcasting can be used in the residence area of the crew, and if there is a safety related technical solution, the damage can be greatly reduced. However, It is not provided.

Although shipbuilding equipment is a system that performs important functions, there are the following problems due to the technical conservativeness of the ship or the manufacturer. First, there is limited expansion of the number of devices for installing loudspeakers, microphones, alarm devices, and remote control broadcasting equipment that are capable of responding positively to ship emergency distress situations related to ship safety navigation and life safety. Second, shipbuilding equipment centered on analog system has many limitations in application of technologies and solutions that can automatically respond to ship emergency distress. Third, it is difficult to reduce the manufacturing cost in case of the above reasons, and in case of the shipyard, since the cable is long and the number of the cable is long, it is difficult to reduce the installation and operation cost.

Vessels have entered the stage of transition to next generation ship technology, but only the broadcast equipment, which is very important for the emergency response, is undergoing a very slow change. Therefore, in order to secure global competitiveness for marine broadcasting equipment through strategic response, And supply of products is urgently required. Accordingly, in order to cope with the above-mentioned problem, it is necessary to digitize a broadcasting system supplied to a conventional market and to develop a remote control broadcasting system based on an Internet protocol.
