SDT  

Service Description Table: Provides information in the SI stream 

about the services in the system; for example, the name of the 

service, the service provider, etc. 

SDTI 

Serial Data Transport Interface. A mechanism that allows 

transmission of various types of data over an SDI signal. This may 

be one or more compressed video signals or other proprietary data 

types. The advantage of SDTI is that existing SDI transmission 

infrastructure can be used to transport other types of data. 

SELV 

Safety Extra Low Voltage (EN 60950). 

SFP 

Small Form-factor Pluggable module. A standardized mechanism to 

allow usage of various optical interfaces for Gigabit Ethernet. 

Several types of SFP modules exist: Single-mode fiber modules for 

long-distance transmission and multi-mode fiber modules for shorter 

distances. SFP is also known as "mini-GBIC". 

SIP 

Session Initiation Protocol. A common acronym for the ongoing 

effort to standardize signaling over IP networks, i.e. connection  

set-up and tear-down. SIP makes it possible to "dial" a remote 

receiver of data and set-up the connection in this way. 

STB 

Set-Top Box: A box that sits on top of a television set and is the 

interface between the home television and the cable TV company. 

New technologies evolving for set-top boxes are video-on-demand, 

video games, educational services, database searches, and home 

shopping. The cable equivalent of the IRD. 

SFN 

Single Frequency Network: The SFN technique allows large 

geographic areas to be served with a common transmission 

multiplex. All transmitters in the network are synchronously 

modulated with the same signal and they all radiate on the same 

frequency. Due to the multi-path capability of the multi-carrier 

transmission system (COFDM), signals from several transmitters 

arriving at a receiving antenna may contribute constructively to the 

total wanted signal. The SFN technique is not only frequency 

efficient but also power efficient because fades in the field strength 

of one transmitter may be filled by another transmitter. 

SI  

Service Information: Digital information describing the delivery 

system, content and scheduling (timing) of broadcast data streams. 

DVB-SI data provides information to enable the IRD to automatically 

demultiplex and decode the various streams of programmes within 

the multiplex. Specified in ISO/IEC 13818[1]. (DVB) 

Single Packet Burst 

Mode 

A burst of ASI bytes (either 188 or 204, depending on packet length) 

is contiguously grouped into an MPEG-2 transport stream packet. 

Stuffing data is added between the packets to increase the data rate 

to 270 Mbps. See DVB Document A010 rev. 1, Section B3.3, (ASI) 

Layer-2 Transport Protocol.
