Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2: The current television standard (625 lines and 50 Hz picture repeat frequency) provides a digital data volume of 216 MBit/s. This would require bandwidths simply not available either ter- restrially or via satellite. The data volume is thus reduced by means of a data reduction system.
the High range Modulator: Switch in the satellite receiver or video recorder used to con- nect the television set via antenna cable Parabolic dish: Dish, made of metal or coated synthetics, with parabolic shape, used to focus the electro-magnetic waves transmitted by the satellite at a focal point.
LNCs are supplied with power by means of the coaxial cable, to achieve this the receiver supples either 14 or 18 volt power Interim frequency: The frequency range broadcast by the satellite cannot be transmitted via a cable. Therefore the LNC converts the sig- nal to the interim frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz.
