8 Technical Terms

Antenna cable:

Connecting cable between the modulator of the satellite receiver and the antenna input socket of the TV set; used as an alternative if no SCART socket is available

AV: see SCART

Coaxial cable:

Cable connecting the LNB to the satellite receiver, used to carry the signals received as well as to provide power to the LNB.

Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:

In order to transmit the current TV standard (625 lines and an image repeating frequency of 50 Hz), one arrives at a digital data volume of 216 MBit/s. This would require enormous bandwidths not available either with terrestrial nor with satellite broadcast technology. A data compression system is thus employed to reduce the amount of data transmitted. In Europe, MPEG-2 has been defined as the worldwide standard for data compression. MPEG-2 is an expansion of the original MPEG-1 standard.

External unit:

Term used for the complete system installed out of doors, consisting of the parabolic/offest dish antenna as well as one or more LNBs, used to receive signals from one or more satelli- tes.

Deemphasis:

Adjustment of the audio frequency band to the broadcast signal, this is determined by the broadcast parameters of the satellite

DiSEqC:

Digital Satellite Equipment Control: a digital switching signal used to control DiSEqC-compa- tible components of the external unit via the antenna cable.

DVB:

Digital Video Broadcasting: a universal digital broadcast standard used for images, graphics, sound and text, i.e. for data in any form, and in any quality, appropriate to the type of data.

Frequency:

Physical dimension, indicates the waves or oscillations per second, the unit of measurement is Hertz (Hz)
