9 Technical terms
Antenna cable: Cable used to connect the modulator of the satellite receiver to the antenna input socket of the television set. Used as an alternative where no SCART socket is available AV: see SCART Channel: Part of a frequency band, divided and allocated by an agreed system. A TV channel consists of two frequencies, one for the audio and one for the visual content. Each channel is described in terms of a numeric description (with the exception of European television channels broadcast in the frequency band 40-230 MHz, these are denoted by letters). Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2: The transmission of the current television standard (625 lines, and a picture frequency of 50 Hz) results in a digital data volume of 216 MBit/s. This would require enormous bandwidths which are simply not available, whether via satellite of via terrestrial reception. Therefore the data is compressed in order to achieve a reduction in the data volume. For Europe,MPEG-2 has been laid down as the world-wide standard for data compression. MPEG2 is an expanded version of MPEG1 Coaxial cable: Cable used to connect the LNC to the satellite receiver, used to transmit the signal received as well as to provide power to the LNC. DVB: Digital Video Broadcasting: A digital universal broadcast technology used to transmit pictures, graphics, sound and text, i.e. data in any form imaginable form, in appropriate quality. Frequency: A physical term, indicates the number of vibrations per second, expressed in terms of the unit Hertz (Hz) 46
DVB-T receiver: The signals received by the antenna cannot be processed by the television set. The DVB-T receiver processes them in such a way that audio and video signals (AV) are available at its outputs, which can then be passed on to the television set. OSD: On Screen Display - data shown on screen PID: Packet Identifier, Packet-ID Receiver: The signals received from the antenna cannot be processed by the television set. The signals are processed by the receiver so that audio and video (AV) signals are generated at its outputs that can be handled by the television set. SCART: Type of connector used on television sets, video recorders, satellite receivers and other home electronics components to transmit audio and video signals (AV). Software Update: Digital television is a new medium that provides improved sound and picture quality as well as the facility to provide interactive services. These new services are constantly being developed and improved by the providers. To utilize the services, it may occasionally be necessary to update the software of the digital receiver. Signal: General description for data, for information, sound or pictures, the content of which is modulated electrically to broadcast the data over a distance, or to connect various suitable reception and viewing units with each other.
