Glossary
The following acronyms and terms are used in this Manual.
AMM –
Audio and Multimedia
ASI -
Asynchronous Serial Interface – Interface used with asynchronous transmission.
asynchronous
- type of data communications in which there is no synchronizing clock between the
transmitter and the receiver; each transmission is a self-contained unit with its own start signal and
stop signal
baseband
- relating to a communications system in which the medium of transmission carries a
single message at a time in digital form. Baseband data is found in LANs, Ethernet, and Token Ring.
BNC -
bayonet Neill-Concelman coaxial connector
broadband –
relating to a communications system in which the medium of transmission carries
multiple data at the same time requiring a wide bandwidth
CCA –
Card cage assembly
channel -
electromagnetic path connecting the transmitter and the receiver
chassis -
equipment housing
CW -
continuous wave
D/A –
Digital-to-Analog
data rate -
The speed at which a circuit or communications line can transfer information. Usually
measured in bps.
dB -
decibel; ratio of two amounts of power, P1 and P2, existing at two points;
dBm -
decibels relative to one milliwatt
DSP -
digital signal processing
DVB
- Digital Video Broadcast. Standard that covers how MPEG-2 signals are transmitted via
satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcast channels along with how such items as system information
and the program guide are transmitted along with the scrambling system used to protect the signal.
With the exception of the United States of America, Mexico, Canada, South Korea and Taiwan, DVB
has been adopted by just about every country in the world for digital TV & radio. DVB-S is the
satellite format of DVB, DVB-C is the specification for DVB/MPEG-2 over cable, and DVB-T is
DVB/MPEG-2 over terrestrial transmitters. (See also MPEG-2).
DVB-ASI -
Digital Video Broadcasting - Asynchronous Serial Interface
DVB-SPI -
Digital Video Broadcasting – Synchronous Parallel Interface
EIA
- Electronics Industry Association recommended standard; a standard that defines a way to
move data over a communication link, e.g., EIA-232, EIA-485 (formerly, RS-232, RS-485)
EIA-232 -
(Formerly RS-232) Recommended Standard Number 232 as defined by the Electronics
Industry Association (EIA); a standard that defines a way to move data over a communication link.
