FEC
FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correc-
tion. A technique for reducing the error rate of data
transmission. Additional bits are inserted into the
data stream so that error-correction algorithms
can be used on reception. The FEC error rate cor-
responds to the Viterbi rate.
FTP - File Transfer Protocol
File transfer method. FTP is a network protocol for
the transmission of
fi
les via IP(Internet Protocol)

MPEG-2
MPEG is the abbreviation for “Moving Picture
Experts Group”, a working group that formulates
internationally applicable standards for the digi-
tal compression of video and audio. MPEG-2 has
become established as the standard for compres-
sion of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 works up to a
data rate of 100 Mbit/s.
MPEG-4
A further development of MPEG-2 with even
higher data compression, intended for HDTV
transmissions.
NIT
The channel identi
fi
cation number is also referred
to as the Network ID or NIT.
NTFS
File system for storage media
Network
Connection of several PCs that as a result can
communicate and exchange data
