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.
