Basic Definitions
If you are new to Digital Television Broadcasts there are a few terms you
should know:
High Definition (HDTV). A picture on the TV screen is formed by
a large number of small dots called pixels. The higher the
number of pixels, the better the picture quality will be. The
pictures of conventional analogue TV broadcasting provide a
maximum of 720 (horizontal) x 576 (vertical) pixels. Typically
HDTV broadcasts contain at least 1024 horizontal pixels and
720 vertical pixels, providing superior picture quality over
analogue TV broadcasts. The HDMI and Component video
outputs of Magic TV™ are capable of carrying an HDTV signal.
Standard Definition (SDTV). A picture with only 576 or 480 vertical
pixels is referred to as Standard Definition. The S-Video and Composite
video outputs of Magic TV™ are Standard Definition only.
Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). Digital TV is a far more efficient
and flexible transmission system than the current analogue system. It
allows broadcasters (TVB and ATV) to offer viewers a range of new and
different services – all through your existing aerial/antenna.
The possible benefits include:
• 'Ghost free' reception
• Widescreen 16:9 pictures
• Standard definition television (SDTV) and HDTV programmes
• High quality audio and surround sound
• Multi-channel programming
• Closed captioning of programmes for the hearing impaired
• Electronic Programme Guides (EPGs) with 'now & next' programme
information for some channels
• On-screen programme guide channel with today's
programme information
• Multi-camera views and enhancements during
selected programmes
More information can be found at http://www.digitaltv.gov.hk.
Interactive Services. Digital TV has the potential to include interactive
programmes, alternative camera angles, selected Internet services, home
shopping, computer games and more. Some services may require an
Internet connection (see section 8.1). When available, you can access
these features by pressing
and navigate them using .
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). HDMI is an
uncompressed, all-digital video and audio connection for electronic
devices capable of transmitting High Definition signals. These signals are
usually encrypted using HDCP to prevent unauthorized duplication of
copyrighted material. HDMI is the highest quality video output from
Magic TV™.
Live TV. If you’re watching a program while it’s being broadcast, you’re
watching Live TV. Pressing the button on your remote control will
immediately jump to Live TV from any menu.
Video Output Format. DTT broadcasts can come in a variety of shapes
and sizes. Magic TV™ can cleanly scale the broadcasts to suit your TV.
See section 7.2 for further information.
Multi-channel audio. A surround sound system supporting six discrete
audio channels. These are Left, Center, Right, Rear Left, Rear Right, and
Subwoofer. DTT broadcasters may choose to broadcast some
channels/programmes in multi-channel audio. Use a digital audio
connection (optical, coaxial or HDMI) to an AV receiver in order to hear
all six channels.
