Raymarine Unveils New Satellite TV System

Company Expands Entertainment Product Offerings with the 60 STV with High Definition Capability

MERRIMACK, N.H., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Raymarine, a world leader in marine electronics, today announced a new satellite television system that will provide boaters with even greater access to high-quality satellite television while at sea. A perfect complement for larger boats, the 60 STV Satellite TV System showcases the groundbreaking technology introduced earlier this year with Raymarine's 45 STV. Encased in an attractive, all-white 60cm (24") dome, the 60 STV allows boaters already equipped with Raymarine technology one consistent look while delivering strikingly crisp picture and sound.

The Raymarine 60 STV brings all the shows, movies and sporting events normally only viewable from home, onboard in rich, digital quality media. On the open seas or at the dock, the 60 STV automatically identifies, acquires and tracks compatible signals from all digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites and is capable of incorporating position data from an external GPS, which improves acquisition speed and minimizes search time. Equipped with innovative technologies such as Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) and Wide Range Search (WRS), the system is now capable of conducting a wider range of instantaneous searches for nearby satellites and can track the desired satellite signal while in motion. Raymarine has extended its software library to allow compatibility with even more satellite service providers around the globe, and the enhanced signal reception allows for better performance in poor weather conditions.

"The 60 STV satellite delivers increased range and great signal quality in any condition. The 60 STV is perfect for rounding out a Raymarine networked system. Now you not only have great navigation technology but also the most consistent and reliable entertainment experience on board your boat," noted president of Raymarine, Terry Carlson.

The Raymarine 60 STV Satellite TV System will be available in North America and Europe in January 2007. The system is compatible with all DVB satellite TV subscription services, allowing the consumer flexibility and convenience in the selection of a service provider. Also in January 2007, Raymarine will introduce High Definition (HD) compatibility with DirecTV's HD programming packages for both the 45 STV and 60 STV, allowing boaters to watch their favorite shows in brilliant HD quality.
