8 Technical Terms

Antenna cable (co-axial cable):

The connecting cable used between antenna and receiver, to

transmit the signal received

Data compression/MPEG-1/MPEG-2:

Using the current television standards (625 lines, and 50 Hz

image repeat frequency) means that a data volume of 216

MBit/s. This would require bandwidths simply not available

with either satellite or terrestrial transmission. Therefore it

was decided to reduce the data volume by using a data com-

pression programme. In Europe, MPEG-2 has been agreed

upon as the international standard for data compression.

MPEG-2 is an expanded version of MPEG-1

DVB:

Digital Video Broadcasting: A universal digital broadcasting

technology used for pictures, graphic images, sound and text,

i.e. for data in any form, and always in every possible quality

suitable to the type of data

DVB-T Receiver:

The signals received by the antenna cannot be processed by

the television set. The signals are processed in the DVB-T

receiver in such a way that an audio-visual (AV) signal is pro-

vided at the receiver’s outputs in a form suitable for the tele-

vision set

Frequency:

A physical measurement indicating the number of waves or

oscillations per second. The unit of measurement is called

Hertz (Hz)

Channel:

Part of a frequency band which is apportioned according to a

specific allocation procedure. A TV channel consists of two

frequencies, one for the visual content and one for the sound

content. Each channel is designated by means of a numeric

abbreviation (except for those European television channels

in the frequency range 40 - 230 MHz, which have been given

letters of the alphabet as designations).

Modulator:

Switch in the receiver facilitating the connection to the TV set

by means of antenna cable
