1.2 TracVision G4 Components
Your TracVision G4 system includes the following components:
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit houses the antenna positioning mechanism, low
noise block (LNB), power supply, and control elements within a
molded ABS radome. Weathertight connectors on the bottom of
the baseplate join the power, signal, and control cabling from
belowdecks units.
GyroTrac
TracVision G4 includes KVH’s GyroTrac digital gyrocompass for
three-axis attitude/heading reference, ensuring superior open
water performance in any sea conditions. GyroTrac can also
operate as a fully functional, stand-alone heading sensor.
GyroTrac includes the following two components:
Sensor Module
The sensor module houses the system’s compass/yaw sensor,
inclinometer, rate gyros, and processing electronics and is
waterproof to a depth of one meter.
Advanced Digital Control Unit (ADCU)
The ADCU is the user interface, providing access to the system
and its functions through an LCD and three soft keys. The ADCU
also serves as the system’s junction box, allowing the system to
use ship’s power, interface with the sensor module, supply and
receive data to/from the TracVision G4 system, and supply and
receive data to/from other shipboard systems.
Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD)
The IRD (purchased separately) receives satellite signals from the
antenna unit for signal processing and channel selection, and
sends the signals to the TV set for viewing. Please refer to the
user’s manual provided with your selected IRD for complete
operating instructions.

Before you can start watching
satellite TV using your TracVision
antenna, you will need to activate
your IRD. Refer to
Section 2.8,
“Activating/Programming the IRD”
on page 42
for details.
