SHORT TECHNICAL GUIDE

DVB MPEG-2

DVB is the abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the transmission method (C = cable). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group that formulates internationally applicable standards for the digital compression of video and audio. MPEG-2 has established itself as the standard for compression of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 works up to a data rate of 100 MB/s.

EB/NO RATIO

The Eb/No ratio is a measure of the signal to noise ratio of a digital signal. The value is not identical to the C/N value familiar from analogue reception technology. At Eb/No values below 5 dB no reception is normally possible.

OTR

One Touch Recording

PID

The PID (Packet IDentification) number is an identification number for video signals and audio signals in the digital data stream of DVB-MPEG-2 signals. The receiver uses the PID number to create a unique assignment for the video and audio data transmission. The PCR PID is the identification number for the synchronization signal. The PID PCR is normally identical to the video PID. For programmes broadcast in multiple languages, the audio PD can be entered manually to assign a different language to the TV programme. After the PID is entered, the digital receiver automatically selects the audio data identified by the PID number from the data stream and assigns it to the video signal.

PIP

Picture-in-Picture function

PROGRAMME PACKAGE

The channel package for a digital transponder normally includes several TV and radio programmes. Each channel package has a fixed assignment for the transponder transmission frequency, for polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the symbol rate and for the Viterbi rate or error rate.

SYMBOL RATE

The symbol rate describes the quantity of data that is transmitted per second. The symbol rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the number of symbols received per second.

VIDEO BIT RATE

The video bit rate describes the quantity of data from the digitised video signal that is transmitted per second.
