BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

CHECK FACILITIES PREPAREDNESS

For a proper installation, please read this guide thoroughly and follow the instructions. Star Trac’s goal is to help you have

a successful and reliable installation, for this reason we have come up with some helpful tips and check list to accomplish

this goal.

EQUIPMENT LAYOUT

Check to see that the equipment you will be adding the PVS are placed where they will be used. It is recommended that

you follow your installation guides for each one of your Star Trac pieces of equipment in making sure that there is ample

space around them to insure a safe and enjoyable experience.

INPUT SIGNAL

In the world of entertainment today you have many choices. Star Trac recommends you know what type of video signal

(cable, analogue, digital, satellite, antenna) is in the club facility and if it has a good signal. Don’t forget every installation

is different. Check to see that you have ample video coaxial cable connections to the locations where the PVS will be

installed.

CABLING

When Radio Frequency signals travel through cabling the signal will degrade over distance. Connectors may degrade the

signal as well. Check each output before connecting to your PVS and make sure you have a clean strong signal to insure

an enjoyable experience. The Star Trac PVS requires a minimum signal strength of 45dBmV for analogue channels, and

40% for digital channels. Your club may require signal amplifiers to achieve a good strong signal. Star Trac recommends

you use a qualified installer for your Audio Visual needs.

ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLES

The Personal Viewing Screen requires a plug-in 60 watt power supply to operate (included). Check with your club facility

to ensure ample electrical receptacles are placed next to the equipment for a safe and proper install. Check with your

contractor to make sure you have enough power.
