1.1 TracVision 6 System Overview

A complete satellite TV system includes the TracVision 6 antenna

connected to the switchplate, an IRD (satellite TV receiver), and a

television set. The optional TV/SAT Switch allows you to select a

satellite at the press of a button. A desktop or laptop computer is

used to configure the system and conduct diagnostics. The

complete system is illustrated in Figure 1-1. System specifications

are provided in Appendix A on page 71.

System Compatibility

The TracVision 6 satellite antenna is fully compatible with Digital

Video Broadcasting (DVB®) satellites, as well as DIRECTV®‘s

Digital Satellite Service (DSS) satellites. The system is also fully

compatible with KVH’s TracNet™2.0 Mobile High-speed Internet

System (for more information about TracNet 2.0, please visit our

web site at www.kvh.com).

In-motion Tracking

The TracVision 6 uses a state-of-the-art actively stabilized antenna

system. Once the satellite is acquired, the antenna gyro

continuously measures the heading, pitch, and roll of your vessel

and sends commands to the antenna motors to keep the antenna

pointed at the satellite at all times.

TracVision 6 Technical Manual

Satellite Library

Your TracVision 6 includes a pre-programmed satellite library of

North American, European, and Latin American satellite

services. When configuring the TracVision 6, you may choose a

pair of satellites from the library to be active in the system and

with your IRD.

For the antenna to track and receive signals from two satellites,

they must be within 10º longitude of each other in orbit. As a

result, certain satellites can be paired only with certain other

satellites. Tables 1-1 and 1-2 list the possible satellite pairs that

may be selected in North America and Europe. In Latin America,

the system can track Galaxy3CN, Galaxy3CS, or PAS_9 (Latin

American LNB required). If the satellite service you wish to receive is

not listed in the satellite library, you may add two additional satellites

of your choice to the library.

TracVision 6’s default satellite pairs

are:

N. America (US DIRECTV):

DSS_101 & DSS_119

Europe: ASTRA1 & HOTBIRD

L. America (DIRECTV LA):

GALAXY3CN & NONE

1.2 TracVision 6 Components

Your TracVision 6 system includes the following components:

Antenna Unit

The antenna unit houses the antenna positioning mechanism, low

noise block (LNB), power supply, and control elements within a

molded ABS radome. Weathertight connectors on the bottom of

the baseplate join the power, signal, and control cabling from

belowdecks units.

Switchplate

The switchplate controls power to the antenna via the On/Off

switch. It also provides a DB9 maintenance port for connecting a

computer or TV/SAT Switch for changing satellites and

configuring the system.

Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD)

(Satellite TV Receiver)

The IRD (purchased separately) receives satellite signals from the

antenna unit for signal processing and channel selection, and

sends the signals to the TV set for viewing. Please refer to the

user’s manual provided with your selected IRD for complete

operating instructions.

Introduction

54-0166 5

Before you can start watching

satellite TV using your TracVision

antenna, you will need to activate

your IRD. Refer to

Section 2.6,

“Activating/Programming the IRD”

on page 27

for details.
