With an IP-enabled belowdecks hub and device-friendly
user interface, the four new antenna systems of the TracVision®
TV-series are designed for superior TV performance and ease of use
on yachts and merchant vessels worldwide
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) is introducing the TracVision
TV-series, a powerful family of fully stabilized marine satellite
television antenna systems designed to provide superior
performance, including HDTV, for worldwide satellite TV
entertainment at sea. TracVision TV1, TV3, TV5, and TV6 – the four
systems that make up the TracVision TV-series – will be unveiled
today at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in Palm Beach,
Florida, and will remain on view in the KVH booth (830-831) through
March 23rd. These systems represent the latest technology in marine
satellite television antenna systems, a market where KVH has had
award-winning TracVision products for more than 16 years.
Innovative features of the new TracVision TV-series include a
streamlined IP-enabled TV-Hub delivering easy setup and operation,
and a web-based user interface providing system access from any
smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or computer. Offering a complete
range of sizes, features, and options, the TracVision TV-series is
designed to support DIRECTV®, DISH Network® and DISH HD, Bell TV,
and nearly all Ku-band services around the globe so that everyone
onboard can enjoy hundreds of digital TV and movie channels.
"The TracVision TV-series brings satellite TV at sea to an
entirely new level, providing not only the great antenna
performance that TracVision is known for, but also the ease of use
that today's yacht owners and ship operators expect," says Martin
Kits van Heyningen, KVH's chief executive officer. "From your
smartphone, you can easily complete the setup of the system and
start enjoying TV entertainment. Plus, the single-cable design
means the TracVision TV-series is ideal for retrofits, no matter
what type of system a boat may have."
Whether a boat, yacht, or ship is cruising along the coast or
voyaging worldwide, there is a perfectly suited TracVision
TV-series antenna system. The ultra-compact TracVision TV1 (32 cm,
12.5-inch antenna) is ideal for use in coastal cruising or
traveling on inland waterways. The small yet powerful TracVision
TV3 (37 cm, 14.5-inch antenna) has single and dual linear LNB
options for multiple receiver installations, and is designed for
use when traveling within 100 nautical miles offshore. The
TracVision TV5 (45 cm, 18-inch antenna) combines big performance
with a compact size and provides access to worldwide regional
programming. The high performance TracVision TV6 (60 cm, 24-inch
antenna) provides the tracking, reception, and extended coverage
area needed when voyaging offshore for short or long passages.
All four systems of the TracVision TV-series feature advanced
functionality and performance:
- Single coaxial cable for power, data, and video enables easy
installations and retrofits
- High performance tracking ensures crystal-clear television
picture in heavy seas
- IP-enabled antenna control unit with Ethernet connection and
built-in Wi-Fi interface allows access to system information from
any Wi-Fi device
- Advanced inertial-based stabilized search enables fast
satellite acquisition
- Exclusive RingFireTM antenna technology provides stronger
signals, wider geographic coverage, and better reception
- Single Wire Multiswitch (SWM-8) integrated into belowdecks
TV-Hub supports up to eight DIRECTV receivers
- DVB-S2 technology ensures compatibility with current and future
Ku-band satellites
- IP AutoSwitch option for multiple receiver installations
delivers simple automatic satellite switching on DISH Pro and
DiSEqC-compatible services
TracVision has been well established in the marine market for
many years, with a current roster of more than a dozen TracVision
antenna choices for use on boats, yachts, and merchant vessels of
all sizes, types, and needs. For 16 consecutive years, TracVision

Electronics Association (NMEA), a trade group made up of 600
companies in the marine electronics and manufacturing field. KVH is
the satellite system supplier for industry-leading leisure marine
