Raymarine 45STV - 45cm Satellite Antenna System for Europe, Brazil & Mexico

Raymarine 45STV - 45cm Satellite Antenna System for Europe, Brazil & Mexico

Raymarine 45STV - 45cm Satellite Antenna System for Europe, Brazil & Mexico are a high-performance, in-motion marine satellite television system designed to provide reliable access to hundreds of digital and high-definition channels for vessels typically between 10.7 to 15 metres (35 to 50 feet) in length.

Raymarine 45STV - 45cm Satellite Antenna System for Europe, Brazil & Mexico Key Features

• Automatic Signal Tracking: Housed in a compact, white plastic dome, the system automatically tracks and receives satellite TV signals, even in tough marine conditions.
• Advanced Technology:
  • Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT): Continuously measures and compensates for the vessel's heading, pitch, and roll to maintain a stable, clear picture while underway.
  • Wide Range Search (WRS): A unique algorithm that allows the antenna to identify and acquire satellite signals as quickly as possible.
• Regional Compatibility: This specific system is configured for use in Europe, Brazil, and Mexico, compatible with various DVB and DSS satellites like "Hotbird", "Astra 1G/1H", "Astra 2A South", "Hispasat", "Thor", and "Sirius".
• Multiple Receiver Support: Features a Quad LNB (Low Noise Block) design, allowing connection of up to four television receivers, so different channels can be watched on each TV.
• HD Compatible: The system is compatible with both DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) and High Definition (HD) signals.
• Integrated GPS: Includes a built-in GPS for faster signal acquisition and higher accuracy of operation, regardless of the vessel's location.
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU): A standard part of the system, the ACU provides power, status display, diagnostics, manual satellite selection, and a PC connection for easy upgrades. It also has built-in Wi-Fi for wireless connection to a PC or smartphone via the Aptus mobile app for monitoring and control.

Raymarine 45STV - 45cm Satellite Antenna System for Europe, Brazil & Mexico FAQs

• Which satellites can the system track? The system can track DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) compatible and DSS (DirecTV) satellites. For the Europe, Brazil, and Mexico regions, it is configured to work with linear polarization services.
• Do I need a subscription to a TV service? Yes, the antenna receives the signals, but you will need to subscribe to a service from the relevant satellite service provider to actually watch television.
• Is it High Definition (HD) compatible?  Yes, the Raymarine 45STV is compatible with HD channels in the Ku-band, with the HD module built into the Antenna Control Unit (ACU).
• Can I use multiple TVs? Yes, the Raymarine 45STV features a Quad LNB (low-noise block downconverter) design, allowing connection of up to four television receivers, so different channels can be watched on each TV.
• What size vessel is it suitable for? The system is recommended for vessels between 10.7 and 15 metres (35 to 50 feet).
• Is installation complicated? Installation is designed to be simple, with a single coaxial cable connecting the antenna to the ACU. The ACU requires minimum setup.
• Does it have built-in GPS? Yes, the 45STV includes a built-in GPS for faster and more accurate signal acquisition.
• How does it handle boat movement? It uses Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology, which continuously measures and compensates for the vessel's heading, pitch, and roll 50 times per second to maintain a clear picture.
• What is the power requirement? The unit operates on a 12 V or 24 V DC power supply
