3. In order to improve picture quality of TV signals so called line doublers or quadruplers were used at first Basically all they did was modify the interlaced signal in such a way that it could also be displayed on non interlaced devices To achieve this the existing half frames were combined and the display mode was changed to progressive meaning each frame was built up from the upper left to the lower right corner of the screen These initial modifying devices had rather limited capabilities and frequently caused dis torted images In most cases it was also only possible to provide a picture in 4 3 aspect ratio which in turn made the whole solu tion pretty useless if a 16 3 TV set was con nected The next and most recent stage in solving this problem is video scaling For the first time the signal is not modified according to a strict and predefined scheme as with line doubler or quadruplers but rather created from 18 TELE satellite International www TELE salellite com scratch with the help of extremely complex algorithms and powerful signal processors This allows creating a signal that can per fectly be adapted to any desired resolution or refresh rate and which is absolutely independ ent from the actual input signal A scaler thus has a number of self evident advantages e scalers can output the signal with any desired refresh rate which effectively solves the problem that many beamers do not sup port a 6

Astral pays a price The general rule has always been to align the weaker satellite to the centrally located LNB Sometimes this helps but this more or less just covers up the problem And if you happen to live near the outer edges of Europe you might say it s your geographical location that s at fault when the real reason is still being overlooked lt gt BAOTONG High Definition DVB T Mini TV Tuner BT 3563 Monoblock LNB But this The Real Cause As it turns out the design of the monoblock does not take the Earth s physical character istics into account Monoblocks have a fixed LNB offset of 6 Unfortunately there is a problem with this amount the actual separa tion between the two satellites as seen from the ground is more than 6 So what s going on The satellite belt is measured geocentrically they orbit the center of the Earth at a distance of 42156 km altitude plus the Earth s radius Every loca tion on Earth with the exception of the poles is closer to the satellites So the satellites are actually more than 6 apart as seen from where you are standing If you are on the equator you are actually Make your computer a high definition TV and brings you four times better enjoyable quality than SD picture quality Fujian Baotong Electronics Co Ltd Donghai Yungu Industrial Zone Fengze District Quanzhou Fujian China TEL 86 595 22158635 22158607 FAX 86 595 22158636 E mail baoton

35. The reason for this com plexity is the fact that a mere resolution increase alone does not do the trick Illustra tion 1 highlights one of the main problems of video scaling the so called motion compen sation If a video scaler would simply add the lines of two interlaced half frames the bird s wings would appear blurry or frayed because a standard PAL or NTSC signal is made up of two half frames which are not identical It is only the quick succession of half frames that creates a moving picture for human eyes A scaler that combines both half frames at the very same time would create an unnatural picture that would appear blurred Special software is required for the scaler to detect this image movement and create a non inter laced signal that creates a natural image sequence Not too long ago video scalers were quite expensive and therefore out of reach for most private individuals but new chip technology now allows manufacturing these devices at an affordable price Korean company Eycos is one of the pioneers in this field and they are the first to offer a PVR receiver with integrated scaler To learn more about this new box please have a look at the test report about the Eycos 55 12 PVRH in this issue of TELE satellite N DVB CI Modules Irdeto Cryptoworks Viaccess Conax DVN Novel Tongfang Compunicate Professional Modules Irdeto Cryptoworks DVN ChinaCrypt Novel Tongfang Wel
