10.7 Glossary

• DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)

A DiSEqC compatible receiver relies on a switching box which detects the 22kHz tone pulsing rapidly

on and o . In this way, a specially designed receiver can control numerous LNBs through a DiSEqC
switching box.

• Dolby Digital

An encoding system that digitally compresses up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio (left front, centre,

right front, left surround, right surround) into a single Bitstream. A low frequency e ect (LFE) channel
is included providing the sound needed for special e ects.

• EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)

An electronic equivalent to a printed television listings magazine; it is an application used with

digital set-top boxes and digital television sets to list current and scheduled programs that are or
will be available on each channel, including a short summary or commentary for each program. The
information supplied in the EPG is sent and updated by the channel broadcaster.

• FEC (Forward Error Correction)

A technique for error control of data transmission.

• Frequency

The property of a signal measured in cycles per second (=Hz).

• FTA (Free- To-Air)

An unscrambled broadcaster allowing customers to view channels or services without paying any

subscription.

• Hi-Fi (High Fidelity)

The characteristics of audio devices that can play back all the audio frequencies a person can detect,

which is the range of 16Hz~20KHz. Sometimes it is used to indicate good quality of audio devices such
as stereo tape recorders.

• LNB (Low Noise Block)

A device that is mounted on an arm facing your satellite dish, focusing on satellite signals. A LNB

converts signals received from satellite to a lower frequency and sends them to a satellite receiver via
coaxial cable.

• OSD (On

OSD displays the basic information necessary for the users to con gure monitor or TV settings. OSD

information may include brightness, contrast, tuning, RGB adjustment, and screen size and position.

• OTA (Over the Air)

A standard for the transmission of software for equipment, through a broadcast system. Manufacturers

reserve the right for deciding the release of the software for their products.

• Polarization

The direction of the electrical and magnetic  elds of a signal. Satellites use both vertical and horizontal

polarisation. Means that a frequency can be used twice.

• RF (Radio Frequenc y)

Television signals are modulated onto RF signals and are then demodulated by your television’s or

STB’s tuner.

• RS-232C

A connection to allow you to connect to a PC to update receiver’s software.

• SCART

A 21-pin connector standard to connect two pieces of Audio-Visual equipment such as a TV and a VCR.

Each device will have a 21-pin female connection; a cable with male connection at both ends is used
for connecting the devices.

• Smartcard

A credit card sized card that contains updateable chip memory. It is used for accessing Pay TV

(encrypted) channel or services when inserted into an appropriate receiver.

• S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface format)

A standard format for the transfer of digital audio signals. It allows the transfer of digital audio

between two devices without any conversion to and from analogue, which could degrade the signal
quality.

• Transponder

A satellite is divided up in parts called transponders. A transponder is one distribution section of the

satellite. Each transponder can be used for distribution of several channels or services.
