Raymarine 60STV - 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System for Europe, Middle East, Brazil & Mexico

Raymarine 60STV - 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System for Europe, Middle East, Brazil & Mexico

Raymarine 60STV - 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System for Europe, Middle East, Brazil & Mexico are 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System provides high-performance, automatic satellite TV tracking for vessels over 15.2 meters (50 feet), with region-specific LNBs for areas including Europe, the Middle East, Brazil, and Mexico. It delivers stable, clear access to hundreds of digital and high-definition channels while underway.

Raymarine 60STV - 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System for Europe, Middle East, Brazil & Mexico Key Features

• Automated Tracking: The system uses unique Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithms and Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology to identify and acquire satellite signals quickly and maintain a steady lock on the signal, compensating for the vessel's heading, pitch, and roll.
• High Performance: With a 60 cm (23.6 in) dish diameter and 36 dBi antenna gain, the 60STV offers enhanced signal acquisition, extending coverage in regions with weaker signals.
• Quiet Operation: A unique rotating sub-reflector minimizes the need for constant dish movement, resulting in quieter operation compared to competitive units.
• Multiple Receiver Support: The European/Middle East version features a quad LNB design, allowing connection to up to four television receivers, with each able to tune into different channels (subscriptions required).
• Automated Skew Control: This feature ensures maximum signal strength while underway by automatically optimizing the LNB skew position.
• Built-in GPS: An integrated NMEA 0183 GPS interface helps reduce satellite acquisition time by providing the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) with the vessel's precise position.
• DVB and HD Compatible: The system is compatible with Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) and High Definition (HD) programming.

Raymarine 60STV - 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System for Europe, Middle East, Brazil & Mexico FAQs

• Which regions and satellites does the  60STV  support? The specific model of the Raymarine 60STV - 60cm Satellite TV Antenna System is designed for Europe, the Middle East, Brazil, and Mexico. It has a pre-programmed global satellite library allowing users to select the required satellite when traveling.
• Is it compatible with HD programming? Yes, the system is High Definition (HD) compatible and supports DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) signals, including the newer DVB-S2 technology used for many HD services.
• Can I use multiple TV receivers with one system? Yes, the Europe and Middle East version features a quad LNB (Low Noise Block) design, which supports up to four television receivers, allowing different channels to be watched on each TV.
• Does it require a separate satellite TV receiver? Yes, the system includes the antenna and an Antenna Control Unit (ACU), but a satellite TV receiver and a programming subscription are required and are not included.
• How does the system maintain a signal while the boat is moving? It uses Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology to continuously measure and compensate for the vessel's heading, pitch, and roll. It also features conical scanning to detect the strongest signal and a unique rotating sub-reflector for quieter operation and minimal dish movement.
• How can I configure the system for a specific country or region? You can set the region using the Antenna Control Unit (ACU). In the setup menu of the ACU, navigate to "LOAD REGION INFO", select "EUROPE" (or the relevant continent), and then select your specific region/country to automatically load the correct satellite information.
• Do I need to manually adjust the LNB skew angle? The Raymarine 60STV system for Europe and the Middle East features Automated Skew Control, which automatically optimizes the LNB skew position to ensure maximum signal strength. Manual adjustment is typically for older systems or those in specific regions with linear polarization that lack this feature.
• Is a GPS input necessary? While not strictly necessary for operation, the system has a standard NMEA 0183 GPS interface input capability. Connecting it to your boat's GPS system reduces satellite acquisition time because the ACU knows the boat's precise location relative to the satellite.
