Raymarine's 45STV HD Reels in High Definition Capabilities

Raymarine's 45STV HD Reels in High Definition Capabilities 2/15/2007

Company Brings Vivid HD Technology to its High Performance Satellite TV System

Merrimack, N.H. and Miami International Boat Show, Miami, Fla. - February 15, 2007 - Raymarine, Inc., a world leader in marine electronics, today announced the availability of the 45STV HD Satellite TV Antenna System, a High Definition (HD) system for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) compatible satellite television receivers. The fully automatic, marine stabilized antenna allows users to enjoy High Definition programming, exclusively from DirecTV, beamed to their vessel while at the dock or on the high seas.

Composed of the 45STV High Definition Antenna and the HD Antenna Control Unit, the system delivers exceptional functionality and entertainment with its razor sharp HD digital programming. Expanding on the 45STV system introduced in February 2006, the new 45STV HD features a Dual Low Noise Block (LNB) design that supports multiple receivers, allowing the captain to monitor the weather on the helm display while others enjoy the game on a monitor below deck. The 45STV HD includes technologies, such as DBT (Dynamic Beam Tilting) and WRS (Wide Range Search), to provide uninterrupted HD satellite television reception in almost any weather condition. With a footprint of 19.2 inches in diameter and a weight of only 31 pounds, the 45STV HD makes crystal-clear HD satellite television reception a reality for vessels of all sizes. The HD Antenna Control Unit (ACU) also features a LCD display and keypad for manual programming.

"The coveted High Definition experience is finally available to boaters with the 45STV HD, bringing an entirely new dimension to enjoyment on the water," said Terry Carlson, president of Raymarine. "We initially incorporated the popular HD technology into our HD Digital fishfinders in 2003, representing a huge leap forward from analog technology. We're thrilled to be expanding our HD capabilities by now offering consumers access to this in-demand technology via their onboard TVs."

To complete installation of the 45STV HD, customers will need to purchase and activate a DVB compatible satellite TV receiver and install a television monitor or other suitable video display. Systems with more than two televisions will require the use of an active antenna multi-switch, which is sold separately.
