GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA

ON
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-
-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free

it to your programs, too.


D
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
OA
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software
or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the software, or if you modify it.
NL

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives
you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there
is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
W

recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or
not licensed at all.
DO

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION


0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to
any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim
or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Vu User Manual

LY
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside
its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only
if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the
Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

ON
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of
any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:

date of any change.


D
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from
OA
the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
NL

announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for
other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
W

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based
on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work
based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work
DO

under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no
more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of
the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,

83
+
Vu User Manual

LY
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an
executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any

ON
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under
D
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
OA
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically
NL

receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
W

cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
DO

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance
of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.

ON
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program
does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.

D
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
OA
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
No warranty

11. Because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for the program, to the extent
permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other
parties provide the program "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but
not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as
to the quality and performance of the program is with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume
NL

the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

12. In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing will any copyright holder, or any other
party who may modify and/or redistribute the program as permitted above, be liable to you for damages,
including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use
the program (including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained
by you or third parties or a failure of the program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or
W

other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

LY
8-PSK is usually the highest order PSK constellation deployed. With more than
8 phases, the error-rate becomes too high and there are better, though more
complex, modulations available such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
8PSK
Although any number of phases may be used, the fact that the constellation must

ON
usually deal with binary data means that the number of symbols is usually a power
of 2 — this allows an equal number of bits-per-symbol.

Conditional Access Module is an electronic device, usually incorporating a slot


for a smart card, which equips an Integrated Digital Television or set-top box with
CAM the appropriate hardware facility to view conditional access content that has been
encrypted using a conditional access system. They are normally used with direct
broadcast satellite (DBS) services.

Composite video is the format of an analog television (picture only) signal before
D it is combined with a sound signal and modulated onto an RF carrier. Composite
video is often designated by the CVBS acronym, meaning "Color, Video, Blank
and Sync". In German (with PAL being a German invention by Telefunken's Walter
Bruch) the abbreviation FBAS (Farbe-Bild-Austastung-Synchron) means the same.
OA
It is usually in standard formats such as NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. It is a composite
of three source signals called Y, U and V (together referred to as YUV) with sync
Composite Video
pulses. Y represents the brightness or luminance of the picture and includes
synchronizing pulses, so that by itself it could be displayed as a monochrome
picture. U and V represent hue and saturation or chrominance; between them they
carry the color information. They are first modulated on two orthogonal phases of
a color carrier signal to form a signal called the chrominance. Y and UV are then
combined. Since Y is a baseband signal and UV has been mixed with a carrier,
NL

this addition is equivalent to frequency-division multiplexing.

Several companies provide competing Conditional Access Systems; Irdeto

commonly used CAS systems.

Stands for Digital Satellite Equipment Control. It is a special communication


protocol for use between a satellite receiver and a device such as a multi-dish
W

DiSEqC
switch or a small dish antenna rotor. DiSEqC was developed by European satellite
provider Eutelsat, which now acts as the standards agency for the protocol.

Electronic Program Guide is a digital guide to scheduled broadcast television or


radio programs, typically displayed on-screen with functions allowing a viewer to
DO

navigate, select, and discover content by time, title, channel, genre, etc. by use of
their remote control, a keyboard, or other input devices such as a phone keypad.
EPG
Content can also be scheduled for future recording by a personal video recorder
(PVR). The on-screen information may be delivered by a dedicated channel or
assembled by the receiving equipment from information sent by each program
channel.

A variant of SATA meant for external connectivity with the following characteristics:
* Minimum transmit potential: Range is 500–600 mV. * Minimum receive potential:
eSATA Range is 240–600 mV. * Identical protocol and logical signaling (link/transport-
layer and above), allowing native SATA devices to be deployed in external

ON
enclosures with minimal modification.

Stands for Forward Error Correction. This is a system of error control for data
transmission, whereby the sender adds redundant data to its messages, also
known as an error-correction code. This allows the receiver to detect and correct
FEC errors (within some bound) without the need to ask the sender for additional data.
The advantages of forward error correction are that a back-channel is not required
and retransmission of data can often be avoided (at the cost of higher bandwidth
requirements, on average).

D
Stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a compact audio/video
interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. HDMI connects digital audio/
video sources—such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc players, personal computers
(PCs), video game consoles (such as the PlayStation 3 and some models of Xbox
360), and AV receivers—to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors,
OA
HDMI
and digital televisions. As an uncompressed connection, HDMI is independent of
the various digital television standards used by individual devices, such as ATSC
and DVB, as these are encapsulations of compressed MPEG video streams (which
can be decoded and output as an uncompressed video stream on HDMI).

Stands for Low-Noise Block converter. This is the (receiving, or downlink) antenna
of what is commonly called the parabolic satellite dish commonly used for satellite
NL

TV reception. The LNB is usually fixed on or in the satellite dish. The purpose of
the LNB is to take a wide block (or band) of relatively high frequencies, amplify
and convert them to similar signals carried at a much lower frequency (called
LNB
intermediate frequency or IF). These lower frequencies travel through cables
with much less attenuation of the signal, so there is much more signal left on the
satellite receiver end of the cable. It is also much easier and cheaper to design
electronic circuits to operate at these lower frequencies, rather than the very high
frequencies of satellite transmission.
W

Stands for Packet Identifier. This is a set of numbers identifying stream packets

mainly vertical and horizontal polarization.

Stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format. A common use for the S/PDIF
interface is to carry compressed digital audio as defined by the standard IEC
61937. This mode is used to connect the output of a DVD player to a home theater
S/PDIF
Another common use is to carry uncompressed digital audio from a CD player to
a receiver. This specification also allows for the coupling of personal computer
digital sound (if equipped) via optical or coax to receivers.

A French-originated standard and associated 21-pin connector for connecting
audio-visual (AV) equipment together. SCART is one of the most common method
of connecting audio-visual equipment together. However, transferring analogue
SCART
standard-definition content, SCART is becoming obsolete with the introduction of
new digital standards such as HDMI, which can also carry high-definition content

embed a hologram to avoid counterfeiting. It is used for accessing encrypted TV
channels or services.

A television information retrieval service developed in the United Kingdom in the


early 1970s. It offers a range of text-based information, typically including national,
Teletext international and sporting news, weather and TV schedules. Subtitle (or closed

Xcrypt
D captioning) information is also transmitted in the teletext signal, typically on page

One of the Conditional Access Systems by Xcrypt.


OA
A color space used in video electronics, in particular in reference to component
video cables. YPbPr is the analog version of the YCBCR color space; the two are
numerically equivalent, but YPBPR is designed for use in analog systems whereas
YCBCR is intended for digital video.YPbPr is commonly called "component video",
but this is a misnomer, as there are many other types of component video (mostly
RGB with sync either on green or one or two separate signals).
NL

YPbPr YPbPr is converted from the RGB video signal, which is split into three
components, Y, PB, and PR.

* Y carries luma (brightness) and sync information.


* PB carries the difference between blue and luma (B - Y).
* PR carries the difference between red and luma (R - Y).
Sending a green signal would be redundant, as it can be derived using the blue,
W

red and luma information.
