1.1 TracVision G4 System Overview

A complete satellite TV system, illustrated in Figure 1-1, includes

the TracVision G4 antenna unit connected to the GyroTrac digital

gyro-stabilized sensor, Advanced Digital Control Unit (ADCU),

an IRD (satellite TV receiver), and a television set. A desktop or

laptop computer is used to conduct diagnostics. System

specifications are provided in Appendix A on page 123.

System Compatibility

The TracVision G4 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 G4 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.

Satellite Library

Your TracVision G4 includes a pre-programmed satellite library

of North American and European satellite services. When

configuring the TracVision G4, 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. 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 G4’s default satellite

pairs are:

N. America (US DIRECTV):

DSS_101 & DSS_119

Europe: Astra 1 & Hotbird
