9 Technical Terms

Antenna cable:

Connecting cable from 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

Coaxial cable:

Connecting cable between LNB and satellite receiver, used to

transmit the signal received, as well as to supply the LNB with

power

Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:

To transmit the current television standard (625 lines repeated

50 times per second) results in a digital data volume of 216

MBit/s. This would require bandwidths that cannot be

provided by either terrestrial or satellite sources. The volume

of data is thus compressed by electronic means to reduce the

volume. In Europe, the MPEG-2 standard has been laid down

as the international standard for data compression. MPEG2 is

a further development of MPEG1

Deemphasis:

Adaptation of the audio frequency profile to the broadcast

signa, this is defined by the broadcast parameters of the

satellite

DiSEqC:

Digital Satellite Equipment Control: a digital switching system

used to control DiSEqC-compatible components of the

extenbal installation via the antenna cable.

DVB:

Digital Video Broadcasting: a universal digital broadcast

standard used for all possible types of data, such as pictures,

graphics, sound and text, in an appropriate form providing

appropriate quality

External unit:

Description used for the complete system mounted outdoors,

consisting of parabolic dish antenna, as well as one or more

LNBs, used to receive signals from one or more satellites

Frequency:

Physical measurement, indicated the number of wave-cycles

per second, expressed as Hertz (Hz)

Frequency range:

a) Satellite resp. LNB:

11 GHz range from 10,70 GHz to 11,70 GHz, 12 GHz range

from 11,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz
