TracVision M3/M2 System Overview
Your TracVision M3/M2 system is a state-of-the-art, actively
stabilized antenna system that delivers live satellite TV to your
vessel’s audio/video entertainment system. A basic system is
illustrated below. A receiver wiring diagram is provided in
Appendix A on page 59.

The antenna uses integrated DVB technology to
quickly acquire and track the correct satellite,
switch between satellites, and send TV signals to
the interface box. The TracVision M2 acquires and
tracks the satellite while the vessel is moored,
either at the dock or at anchor. The TracVision M3
adds the capability to track the satellite while the
vessel is underway – its gyros keep the antenna
pointed at the satellite at all times.
The interface box allows you to set up and
control the system using its four
pushbuttons and LCD display. It also
supplies power to the antenna and delivers
satellite TV signals to your satellite TV receiver.
