2.6 TV cards

The TV function in the PC is gaining in importance. If your PC is already fitted with a TV card or if you would like to fit one in it, we would like to inform you of a few basic details at this point.

The TV cards required for TV reception via a PC can be divided into two groups – in analog and digital signal-processing modules. Both modules are designed on the basis of the MPEG standard, but differ in the signal processing. TV cards are also available as combined versions.

MPEG is the abbreviation for "Motion Pictures Experts Group". File formats and processes for compressing and saving video and multimedia data (video, picture and audio data) in high quality were and are being established by this organisation.
