"With the TracVision HD7, you enjoy complete, uninterrupted access to all of the great TV entertainment offered by DIRECTV's satellites thanks to our revolutionary TriAD((TM)) technology, which simultaneously delivers programming from DIRECTV's three primary Ka- and Ku-band satellites," explained Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH's chief executive officer. "In addition, boaters will be able to enjoy full support for DVRs because no satellite switching will be required, along with our best-ever in-motion tracking. What does this mean? HDTV at sea with no compromises, now and in the future. You, your family, and your friends can watch whatever you want, when you want, on whatever TV you want, because TracVision HD7 tracks all three satellites at once, just like home!"
The 24-inch diameter TracVision HD7 is the world's most advanced maritime satellite television system, incorporating patent pending technology and features that provide a unique entertainment experience and unmatched simplicity in operation and installation, including:
-- KVH's Tri-Rod Antenna Design (TriAD) technology - this patent pending
new design simultaneously receives broadcasts from three separate
DIRECTV satellites. These signals are concentrated by the tuned
subreflector before reaching the unique tri-rod dielectric feed.
Multi-axis dynamic tracking then allows the system to stay locked on
even in the roughest seas.
-- IP-enabled Antenna Control Unit (ACU) - KVH's new Internet Protocol
(IP)-enabled antenna control unit, with its Ethernet connection, and
built-in WiFi interface, makes system setup as easy as opening a web
browser.
-- The TracVision iPhone((R)) application - For the most convenient
connection to the TracVision HD7 satellite TV, simply download KVH's
free TracVision iPhone app from Apple's iTunes App Store for your iPhone
or iPod((R)) touch. Then use it to check signal strength, switch to
secondary satellites, download and automatically install antenna
software updates, and send information directly to KVH technical
support. It doesn't get any easier!
-- Single Wire Multiswitch (SWM) - TracVision HD7 includes a built-in
single wire multiswitch that supports up to eight high-definition tuners
with just a single cable and allows boat owners to run just a single
wire to a dual-tuner DVR, making installation simpler than ever.
-- USB Flash Port - If the boat owner or dealer does not have Internet
access or the TracVision iPhone app, updating antenna information is as
simple as inserting a USB flash drive loaded with the latest KVH
software into the ACU's USB Flash Port to update the system.
-- New optional Tri-Americas((TM)) Ka/Ku-band LNB - The TracVision HD7
offers an optional configuration that includes KVH's new Ka/Ku-band
Tri-Americas LNB that eliminates the need to change antenna hardware
when switching between DIRECTV HD and Galaxy/DIRECTV Latin America as
the boat travels from the U.S. to the Caribbean, Central America, and
South America.
-- Easy installation - Installation is simple with only one dome and the
same cabling and mounting design as KVH's popular TracVision 6/G6 and M7
models so upgrading is a breeze.
-- Rock-solid in-motion tracking - The TracVision HD7 offers the best
tracking ever available in a KVH satellite TV product thanks to enhanced
tracking algorithms and a stainless steel bearing construction to ensure
outstanding performance and uninterrupted entertainment even on
sportfishers and tuna towers.
The TracVision HD7 is designed to overcome the challenge raised when DIRECTV moved its HDTV programming to new Ka-band satellites incompatible with existing maritime satellite TV systems. Adding to the complexity, HDTV programming is broadcast on the 99 degrees W and 103 degrees W Ka-band satellites while the program guide and all non-HD channels are broadcast by DIRECTV's original 101 degrees W Ku-band satellite.
"We wanted to offer boat owners an experience just like home, which requires the ability to watch all three satellites at once, a challenge overcome by our TriAD technology," commented Brent C. Bruun, KVH's vice president of sales and business development. "Other solutions, like the use of multiple antennas or a home dish inside a 4-foot diameter dome, are impractical for most boat owners due to cost, size, and installation space.
"Antennas that only view one satellite at a time and rely on the antenna or LNB to switch among the Ka- and Ku-band satellites raise a host of other problems for boaters, including receiver lockups, reboots, or lengthy satellite searches due to expired program guides or receivers looking for the wrong satellite. And do you really want to run the risk of missing the big game because ESPN HD is broadcast on the 99 degrees W satellite and your kids want to watch Animal Planet HD broadcast on 103 degrees W? The TracVision HD7 eliminates all of these issues and allows you all to watch DIRECTV's programming, whether live or on the DVR, exactly like you do at home."
