Satellite Compatibility
The TracVision G8 is fully compatible with Digital Video
Broadcasting (DVB
®
) satellites, as well as DIRECTV
Satellite Service (DSS) satellites.
In-motion Tracking
The TracVision G8 uses a state-of-the-art actively stabilized
antenna system. The antenna's built-in global positioning system
(GPS) allows the system to calculate the precise direction to the
satellite from your vessel's current location, ensuring the shortest
possible satellite acquisition time. Once the satellite is acquired,
the antenna gyros continuously measure the motion of your
vessel and send commands to the antenna motors to keep the
antenna pointed at the satellite at all times.
