16:9,4:3<br />
The aspect ratio of your TV display is normally 16:9 (also described as 1,78:1) or 4:3<br />
(1,33:1). 16:9-televisions show movies without disruptive blacked out.<br />
3 D-TV<br />
Three-dimensional entertainment for each home. To play such contents 3-D-suitable<br />
television or video projectors are necessary, suitable media players as e.g. BluRay-Player<br />
for movies or 3D-suitable Set Top Boxes for TV programs.<br />
5.1-tone<br />
A 5.1-Box Set comes with six loudspeakers: The Center is located near the television, the<br />
Stereo-loudspeakers to the left and right, two effect-loudspeakers were placed left and<br />
right behind the die listening position. „1“ means the subwoofer.<br />
480i/p, 576 i/p, 720p 1080i/p<br />
Thess data inform you about how many lines composes a television picture (HDTV) and if<br />
half pictures („i-“-- interlaced) or full pictures („p“ progressive) are used.<br />
Astra<br />
The best known satellite-family in Germany disposes of seven satellites on the orbit position<br />
19,2° east and is run by the Société Européenne des Satellites (SES) from Luxembourg.<br />
The most digital television and radio programs in Germany will transmit over the Astra<br />
satellites and a huge number of foreign television stations.<br />
Picture-in-picture function<br />
For watching two programs on one display.<br />
CI (Common Interface)<br />
Many satellite-receiver have a special slot, the Common Interface. There are a position for<br />
a decryption module for the protected programmes from Pay TV channels. You can paste<br />
the smartcard from your Pay TV provider in this decryption module.<br />
CI+<br />
This is a further development of the Common Interface (CI, s.o.). This CI+ Modul is provided<br />
e.g. to put in a smartcard for high definition program services oft he new platform<br />
HD+. The CI+ interface is backward compatible and can be optional operated with modules<br />
for CI or CI+.<br />
Cinch (as well as RCA-plug)<br />
Cinch-connector are used for cable which transmit picture and tone signals.<br />
Digital Audio Output<br />
In home theater systems tone signals will transmit digitally (without loss) via optical or<br />
coaxial outputs.<br />
DiSEqC<br />
DiSEqC is an operation to control satellites. It is possible to align a satellite dish (controled<br />
by an engine) automatically on your favorite satellite.<br />
DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-H<br />
DVB is described as digital transmitted television (Digital Video Broadcasting). DVB-S is<br />
receivable via satellite, DVB-C via cable, DVB-T via antenna and for the future DVB-H via<br />
mobile. DVB-S2 transmits HDTV via satellite.<br />
Electronic Program Guide (EPG)<br />
EPG is described as an electronic program guide – a kind of TV magazin in some digital<br />
receivers (Satellite, DVB-C and DVB-T) as well as DVD–recorders.<br />
Ethernet (LAN)<br />
The Ethernet / LAN-technology makes it possible to transfer data within a local computer<br />
network in which e.g. computer, printers or other products can be integrated. The connection<br />
of these devices will be transfered via LAN / Ethernet-interface.<br />
eSATA<br />
HDD<br />
Free To Air (= FTA)<br />
A Set Top Box, only for uncoded and free receivable programs konzipiert, then it is called<br />
a FTA-receiver.<br />
FBAS–Video<br />
FBAS–Video (Composite) means a video connection for a transmission of picture through<br />
only one line.<br />
Gigabyte (GB)<br />
This unit for the storage space, e.g. on a hard disk, corresponds to about one milliard<br />
bytes or 1000 megabytes (mb). If you take up a one and a half-hour movie in best quality, it<br />
needs about 6.5 gigabytes of storage space (subject to the image contents).<br />
H.264<br />
H.264 is a highly efficient compression procedure for video formats. The actual ISO IEC<br />
correspondent name of the standard is MPEG-4 / AVC and has a three times higher efficiency<br />
in comparison to older MPEG-4 / ASP standard, which appears to high resolution<br />
data, as for example HDTV. This H.264 process reduces the data rate by only a half, what<br />
accelerates the image format considerably, with the same quality of the videos.<br />
Hbb TV<br />
Hbb-Tv as well as „HD text“, concerns a significant extension of the current teletext.<br />
Extended background information should be offered in future for the current TV program<br />
by text, picture and video. In addition, it is intended to take direct personal orders with the<br />
remote control.<br />
HD+<br />
A new sending platform of the satellite operator ASTRA for high resolution contents. The<br />
reception of these program offers is currently only with special devices possible (status:<br />
3/31/<strong>2010</strong>). These receivers has a card reader to insert a smartcard for encoded programs.<br />
HDCP<br />
HDCP is a copy protection which will transmit over every HDMI connection (partly also via<br />
DVI).<br />
Hard Disk<br />
HDD<br />
HDD<br />
Hard Disc Drive‘s (HDD) are hard disks which are already inserted in a device or can be<br />
also connected externally. These can be used to take up or watch time-shifted programs. It<br />
exists different hard disk standards as for example SATA or IDE. External hard disks can be<br />
run by USB or via special eSATA interfaces.<br />
HDMI<br />
HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) is a connection for digital saved picture and<br />
tone signals which can display this information without loss. The transmitted signals<br />
contain a copy protection.<br />
HD Ready<br />
HDTV<br />
HDTV<br />
High definition television (HDTV) is a worldwide TV standard for high resolution television<br />
and it offers a much better image quality than the former PAL operation. Beside a higher<br />
picture resolution the widescreen format 16:9 is also given. There are different HDTV standards<br />
with different resolutions, picture frequencies and picture presentations.<br />
Minimal requirements for „HD Ready“-display: - HDTV standard 720p 720p (p = „progressives“<br />
full picure): 720 x 1.280; 50/60 Hz = 921.600 pixels - HDTV standard 1080i 1.080i (i<br />
= „interlaced“ half picure): 1.080 x 1.920; 50/60 Hz = more than 2 million pixels - HDTV<br />
standard 1080p 1.080p (p = „progressives“ full picture): 1.080 x 1920; 50/60 Hz = more than<br />
2 million pixels<br />
Hotbird / Eutelsat<br />
The „Hotbird“-Satellites of the European satellite operator Eutelsat are the important<br />
satelites for Germany. They are aviable on the position 13° east and transmit huge number<br />
of foreign radio and television pragrams. This includes free receivable programs and a lot<br />
of encoded programs.<br />
IDE<br />
HDD<br />
JPEG<br />
The jpeg procedure (Joint Photographic Experts Group) can reduce the need of storage<br />
place for pictures of digital cameras without a loss of their high quality.
