Code rate
During a transmission data can be lost or changed. To recover this data redun-
dancy is added to the signal to be transmitted (forward error correction). The
factor of the quantity of redundancy contained in the bits transmitted is called
code rate.
Using the setting "
C7/8
" you can get the highest output data rate at lowest re-
dundancy.

Guard interval
In this menu item you set the relation of the duration of the user symbols to the
duration of the guard intervals to be transmitted. A high guard interval, e.g.
"
G1/4
" causes a low output data rate. For cable networks the setting "
G1/32
"
is adequate.

buttons ("
