What is Digital Television?

Digital Television offers a far wider choice of TV viewing, free from the interference that you may experience on analogue TV. It promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. There is a greater selection of widescreen programming . Many of your favourite programmes are in widescreen on the digital channels - something the analogue TV cannot do properly.

There is new whole experience of interactivity on digital TV. By using your remote control, you can access all kinds of information like the digital text which is much clearer than the old teletext system. It gives you the added enjoyment of related information running alongside the programme you are watching. You can also access an Electronic Programme Guide that provides you with a quick and easy way to view a complete list of digital programmes as you would in a newspaper or TV magazine.

Glossary

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) : A digital interface

standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital monitors.

RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these signals improves picture quality.

S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.

NICAM sound : Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.

16:9 : Refers to the ratio between the length and height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ratio of 4/3.

MHEG (Multimedia and Hypermedia information coding Expert Group) : provides standards for the coded representation of multimedia hypermedia information objects that are interchanged among applications and services using a variety of media. The objects deﬁne the structure of a multimedia hypermedia presentation.

HDMI (High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) :

Provides an uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as set-top box, DVD player and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced or high-deﬁnition video plus two-channel digital audio.

System : Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are different standards: BG, DK, I, and LL’. The System setting (page 24) is used to select these different standards. This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. PAL is used in most countries in Europe, SECAM in France, Russia and most African countries. The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital-Content Protection): HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content between the video source or transmitter such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box and the digital display or receiver such as a monitor, television or projector.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a common method of storing and transmitting uncompressed digital audio. Since it is a generic format, it can be read by most audio applications—similar to the way a plain text ﬁle

can be read by any word-processing program. PCM is used by Audio CDs and digital audio tapes (DATs).

AC3

(Audio Coding 3) also known as Dolby Digital is supported as optional audio standard by Digital Video Broadcast. Dolby Digtial signal adapts to the viewer’s playback system, delivering the best posible sound to all viewers regardless of their equipment.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is the nickname given to a family of International Standards used for coding audio-visual information in a digital compressed format.
