Explanation of the technical terms “Terrestrial television” or DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestric)
With DVB-T, digital television signals are transmitted terrestrially (earthbound)
and can also be received via an aerial. DVB-T therefore offers mobile reception of
high quality without the need of a fixed aerial connection. DVB-T is therefore de-
scribed as “Terrestrial television
”
.
Advantages of DVB-T
In addition to a significant gain in quality, the transmitter capacity of a television
channel can be realised more effectively through digital transmitter technology
rather than analog signals. The greater data rate enables several programs of one
television channel to be transmitted bundled in one data flow (so called “Multi-
plex”). Part of the transmitter capacity can also be used for additional services, e.g.
electronic program guides or radio.
“Hybrid tuner” for analog and digital reception
The supply of DVB-T has up to now been restricted to densely populated regions,
so that an analog television receiver in the vehicle is still a prerequisite. It is for
this reason that a Hybrid tuner was developed for the unit, which consists of a
common analog TV receiver and a DVB-T receiver.
Display of analog and digital TV stations
The TV stations which can be received are indicated in the information display and
when switching over and calling up the TV menu on the display. Analogue and dig-
ital TV stations are displayed differently and are marked on the touch-screen with
“Analog.” or “DVB-T ”. ÐOverview Fig. 7 TV menu
The TV picture will only be displayed when the vehicle is stationary. The touch-
screen is switched off while driving, but the sound can still be heard.
