Latest Satellite Television Antenna System

37STV Packs Maximum Entertainment Performance into Compact Design


MERRIMACK, N.H., Oct. 25 - Raymarine, a world leader in
marine electronics, today introduced the 37STV, the newest member of its
family of satellite television antenna systems. Joining Raymarine's popular
45STV and 60STV, the new system expands the company's offerings for on
board entertainment.
"The new 37STV is the latest addition to Raymarine's line of satellite
television antenna systems. It's a compact system that delivers
uninterrupted satellite reception, making it a great choice for
entertainment when you are on the water," said Terry Carlson, president of
Raymarine, Inc.
The 37STV's dome design makes the system ideal for vessels 25' and
larger. As with all of Raymarine's antenna systems, it is compatible with a
wide range of Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) satellite television service
providers and utilizes Raymarine's proprietary Wide Range Search (WRS)
algorithm to quickly identify and acquire satellite signals. The 37STV also
features a NMEA 0183 GPS interface to ensure rapid satellite acquisition
times.
Once a satellite is identified, the 37STV achieves highly accurate
satellite tracking at sea by using Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology,
which continuously measures the vessel's heading, pitch and roll to keep
the antenna locked on a satellite - ensuring a clear picture even in
extreme weather and rough sea conditions. In addition, stabilization of the
system is enhanced by conical scanning, which detects and maintains the
strongest signal at all times.
High Definition (HD) ready, the 37STV features a dual LNB design that
allows the captain to monitor the weather and news at the helm while others
enjoy watching television or listening to music down below. To enhance the
viewing and listening experience, Raymarine has integrated a unique,
rotating sub-reflector that redirects the signal and minimizes the need for
constant dish movement, making for much quieter operation. The 37STV offers
a remotely mounted Antenna Control Unit (ACU) featuring a digital display
and keypad for easy installation, manual satellite selection and
diagnostics. The system also has fewer cables, which minimizes installation
time and lowers the overall cost of the system.
