  PCTV Sat (CI) 

Binary Digit. Smallest information unit in a computer. One bit can take on 
two states: “0” and “1”, two bits can take on 22=4 states and three bits 
23=8, etc. In a computer those states are realized by “0 V” (no current = 0) 
and “5 V” (current = 1). To display a character (letter, number etc.), 8 bits = 
1   byte are required. 

 

This term literally means that something is transmitted simultaneously in all 
directions for public reception, i.e. to all receivers. 
(  Multicast,   Unicast) 

 

In a computer, the bus provides for the communication between the   
processor and the installed hardware (hard disk, graphics board, etc.). 
Depending on the bus width, the bus transfers a different amount of 
information. An 8-bit bus can transfer 8   bits (=   byte = one character) 
at a time. 
 

One byte consists of eight   bits. One byte represents exactly one 
character (letter, number etc.). The characters are binary-coded with “zero” 
(0) and “one” (1). The character “E” has the   ASCII code “01000101” or 
“45h” (hexadecimal). 
 

Common designation for Conditional Access Module, also referred to as 
CAM. These modules undertake part of the decoding of the required   
Pay-TV program and are plugged into the slot provided for the purpose (  
Common Interface, CI). 
As individual stations use different encryption codes, a dedicated CA 
Module is required for each code. 
In addition to the appropriate CA Module, the user also requires a so-called 
personal authorisation card (  smart card) in order to enable the required 
program. 

 

CD-ROMs are mass storage media for digital data, such as   digital video. 
CD-ROMs can only be read. 
 

Color Graphics Adapter (IBM). Graphics board which displays four colors 
in the graphics mode. 
 

Rate at which individual commands are processed in a processor. The 
higher the   clock frequency, the quicker the commands are processed. 
 

Color Look Up Table. Color table which contains all indexed color values. 

 

Acronym for Compressor/Decompressor, compresses (packs) and 
decompresses (unpacks) image data.
