    13. SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms 22 kHz pulse: This pulse, generated by the receiver, is used to control switches or to switch Universal LNBs to the digital range. Analogue programmes: In comparison with digital signals, analogue signals require a considerably greater quantity of information. With the constantly increasing range of programmes, the bandwidths available would no longer suffice in the long term.
  • Page 39 13. SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms Transfer switch: Transfer switches (sometimes integrated into multi-switches) are required to fan-in SAT and terrestrial signals. These must be separated again by “reversed” transfer switches or SAT connection boxes. Reception frequency: As with VHF reception, each satellite programme has a reception frequency. In contrast to tuning a radio transmitter, further settings are necessary (polarisation, DiSEqC/22kHz/LO frequency)! If e.g.
  • Page 40 13. SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms Multi-switches: Multi-switches are used in SAT distribution systems (from 3 subscribers/receivers). Multi-switches have at least 2 LNB connections for 1 double LNB (horizontal 18 V and vertical 13 V, possibly terr. input). In digitally compatible or Multifeed systems, at least 4 LNB inputs are required: horizontal 18 V, vertical 13 V, horizontal 18 V + 22 kHz and vertical 13 V + 22 kHz.

Switching voltages and data can also be transmitted. 10-pin scart cables are sufficient for a satellite receiver or VHS video recorder. If a decoder or Super-VHS video recorder is used, 21-pin scart cables must be used! There are 3 common standards, which must be set on the video recorder or television so that the picture signal of the SAT receiver can be transmitted faultlessly: FBAS (setting on TV/video e.g.
