PAL
Analogue TV standard
Pan & Scan format
With the Pan & Scan format it is possible
to adapt 4:3 format content on 16:9 format
TV sets.
Pay TV
Television channels available on
subscription (e.g. Sky). Encrypted channels
which can be decrypted only by using the
appropriate Smartcard. As a rule these
services are subscription-only.
PCM sound
A procedure to convert an analogue audio
signal into a digital audio signal to be able to
output this at the SPDIF output.
PID
The PID (Packet Identifi cation) number is an
identifi cation number for video signals and
audio signals in the digital data stream of
DVB-MPEG-2 signals.
The receiver uses the PID number to create
a unique assignment for the video and audio
data transmission. The PID PCR is the
identifi cation number for the synchronisation
signal. The PID PCR is normally identical to
the video PID. For programmes broadcast
in multiple languages, the audio PID can
be entered manually to assign a different
language to the TV programme. After
the PID is entered, the digital receiver
automatically selects the audio data
identifi ed by the PID number from the data
stream and assigns it to the video signal.
Pillarbox
Service to adapt broadcasts to the TV set.
PIN
Personal Identifi cation Number. For this unit
the PIN is a four-digit numeric code which
must be entered to unlock the unit to allow
access to certain functions and channels.
Polarisation
The individual transponders on satellites
transmit on two different (polarisation)
planes (horizontal and vertical). The capacity
of the transponder is increased as a result.
QPSK – Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
Digital modulation process that is used for
satellite transmission (8PSK is also used in
connection with HDTV).

RGB
Video signal made up of three individual
colour signals (red, green, blue).
SAT ZF signal
Receiver input signal, satellite intermediate
frequency
Scart cable
21-pin connecting cable (e.g. receiver/
TV set)
SCR single cable system - Satellite
Channel Router
The one cable system is used to distribute
digital Sat IF signals (including HDTV) and
terrestrial signals over a single cable to up
to eight receivers. There is no limit on the
variety of channels, i.e. the complete range
of channels from one or two satellites is
transmitted. Switching and the transponder
selection are undertaken in the feed
system or in the matrix and are controlled
by the receiver using a special DiSEqC™
command to EN 50494. Each receiver
