2.6 h tPs t h e m o d u l e wo r ks After decoding QPSK- or 8PSK-modulated signals, the demodulated data stream can be accessed via the integrated TPS module. This data stream, also called transport stream, contains several stations in all their components (video, audio, data and service information), which can be changed using the TPS module.
Page 11
2.7 e " " x P l a n at i o n t h e t e r m s ym b o l r at e Modulation schemes such as QPSK and QAM transmit multiple bits simultane- ously. These are referred to as symbols. In addition to the user data flow which transmits video and audio information, error correction bits are transferred.
