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 descri- bed 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 tech- nology 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)
