1 Introduction

1.1 Digital Satellite Television

The DIRECTV®and DI H™Network systems transmit digital

audio and video data from land-based transmitters to a satellite

“parked” above the equator. Each satellite relays the signals in

spot beams covering the continental United tates and

contiguous waters. TracVision A automatically identifies, locks

on to and receives signals from the appropriate satellite when

your vehicle is stationary.

1.2 TracVision SA System Overview

A complete satellite TV system includes the TracVision A

connected to an Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD), aka a

“satellite receiver,” and a television set. A desktop or laptop

computer is used to conduct diagnostics. The interrelationship of

units is illustrated in Figure 1-1. ystem specifications and a

functional block diagram are provided in Appendices A and B,

respectively.

TracVision SA System

Configuration

TracVision SA is equipped with a

single-port Low Noise Block (LNB)

that can provide signals to a single

IRD. Should you wish to equip your

vehicle with multiple TVs and IRDs,

a dual-port LNB is available as an

option (KVH Part Number 19-0056).

TracVision SA is a self-acquiring

satellite TV antenna for use when

your vehicle is stationary. The

system is not designed to track the

TV satellite when the vehicle is

moving.

1.2.1 TracVision SA Components

The Antenna Unit includes the antenna positioning mechanism,

signal front end, power supply and control elements. These

include antenna drive controls and mechanisms, the cable wrap

subassembly, power conditioning and regulating circuits, and the

RF detector. The antenna is a parabolic dish mounting a single-

port low noise block (LNB) converter with built-in preamplifier.

A molded AB radome encloses the baseplate and is secured in

place with standard fasteners. Liquid-tight (watertight) fittings

located on the back of the baseplate join the power, signal, and

control cabling from below-decks units.

1.2.2 Integrated Receiver Decoder

The IRD receives satellite signals from the Antenna Unit for

signal decoding, processing and channel selection, and sends the

signals to the TV set for viewing. Messages are sent from the IRD

to the Antenna Unit and messages are received from the Antenna

Unit for display on the television screen. The IRD also provides

the interface for the user to activate authorization for reception.

Please refer to the User’s Manual provided with your selected

IRD for complete operating instructions.

1.3.1 Additional Materials Required for

TracVision SA Use

To make full use of your new TracVision A and receive satellite

TV on the road, you will need to provide/purchase the

following:

•Television

•Appropriate IRD for your selected satellite

TV service (if using the DI H Network, a

Model 4000 or 5000 IRD will be required)

•ealing materials to weatherproof cable holes and

seal mounting plate

•Optional KVH Echo tar Adapter (for use with the

DI H Network service and IRD)

Introduction

54-0149 Rev. B

Operation of the DISH Network

requires the purchase of an

EchoStar IRD Adapter. To purchase

an EchoStar Adapter, contact KVH

or your local KVH dealer and ask

for KVH Part Number 02-0899.
