All this plus a sophisticated automated controllerthat lets you bring the TV shows you want on board
fast – and easy – from anywhere on the ship.
All of Sea Tel’s new-generation systems come with a tracking antenna controller designed for efficiency and speed. Sea Tel’s proprietary PCDAC
RAM Software package allows the controller to be operated from any Windows
® compatible PC. Sea Tel has made selecting the right satellite very easy. Simply “point and click” on the satellite name and the controller, with the help of the
built-in GPS, immediately takes over to point the antenna right at the
satellite and start tracking. If the satellite isn’t acquired immediately, the controller automaticallyruns a programmed sweep of the sky until the signal is found and
acquired.When it comes to actually watching the TV, it’s even easier. TV users select their favorite shows – just like at home. Because it’s a Sea Tel, whatever TV programming they’ve chosen stays locked-in no matter what the weather is doing outside.
A total new level of reliabilitymeans our systems are better able
to cope with the hazards of life at
sea than any other on the market... Sea Tel’s Series 97 three-axis satellite tracking system gives you...
360°of uninterrupted coverage. Faster response. Our new generation systems arefast on their feet...to make sure that TV picture
stays on the screen no matter what! The antenna’s
response to ship motion can be as fast as 90°/sec. Series 97 TV-at-Seasystems let you say “goodbye” to cable-unwrap
interruption. You get unlimited azimuth turning for undisturbed TV from horizon to horizon. Fewer parts means less to go wrong. Our Series 97 antenna systems are more accurate, faster and
reliable that anything else on the market today for
a very simple reason: they incorporate the latest in modern solid state electronics. Reception that compares with shore-basedinstallations More reliable TV reception even in stormconditions . With signal loss due to antennamovement reduced to nearly zero,
the performance of a Series 97 TV-at-Sea stabilized antenna is
comparable to that of a fixed
antenna on shore! As a result,
satellite TV reception is surprisingly
reliable even in the fringe areas of the signal. Our systems are designed and built to pass the U.S. Navy’s tests for vibration, shock and
protection against RFI and EMI emissions. Life atsea can be rough. Every model of our TV-at-Sea
Series 97 systems meets Navy MIL-STD-901D GRADE
A shock standards and MIL-STD-461 EMI & RFI
standards (including 200V/M). And, when it comes
to the ever-present vibration issue, they actually
exceed Navy MIL-STD-167-1 standards! . Bad weather? Extreme ship motion?Stabilization and tracking accuracy is better than
0.2°even when the ship is pitching 15°or rolling 25°. It is a difference that lets you enjoy
uninterrupted TV reception whatever the elements
are throwing at you. >
