Multiplexed analogue components (MAC) was a satellite television transmission standard, originally proposed for use on a Europe-wide terrestrial HDTV system, although it was never used terrestrially.

Technical overview[edit]

MAC transmits luminance and chrominance data separately in time rather than separately in frequency (as other analog television formats do, such as composite video).

Audio and scrambling (selective access)[edit]

  • Audio, in a format similar to NICAM was transmitted digitally rather than as an FM sub-carrier.
  • The MAC standard included a standard scrambling system, EuroCrypt, a precursor to the standard DVB-CSA encryption system

History[edit]

MAC was originally developed by the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) (dates unknown) in the UK for delivering high quality pictures via direct broadcast satellites that would be independent of European countries' choice of terrestrial colour-coding standard.[1]

Variants[edit]

A number of broadcasting variants of the MAC standard exist.

  • A-MAC designed as a test-bed for the MAC concept. A-MAC was never deployed by any broadcaster. S-MAC is design descendant A-MAC.
  • B-MAC used in South Africa by Multichoice, Australia by Optus and also used in parts of Asia until 2005 when digital compression finally replaced B-MAC.
  • C-MAC has a wide-screen backwardly compatible variant called E-MAC.
  • D-MAC (used by British Satellite Broadcasting) but not used on cable systems. This is a satellite only MAC format. Also used by NRK. This because D-MAC has 4 audio channels (D2-MAC just has 2 audio channels). Then it was possible to transmit 3 radio channels and 1 TV channel at one D-MAC channel.
  • D2-MAC used until July 2006 in Scandinavia and until the mid-1990s for German and French satellite television. Some cable systems may still be using D2-MAC in Europe and Asia.
  • HD-MAC, an early high-definition television standard allowing for 2048x1152 resolution.

Studio (non-broadcast) MAC variants[edit]

S-MAC (Studio MAC): Used mostly in North America.

  • Processing NTSC component signals yields better results (a higher quality image) than manipulating NTSC directly – thus the need to create S-MAC.
  • It is not possible to mix standard MAC signals in the studio environment because the (R-Y) and (B-Y) components are carried on alternate lines.
  • S-MAC's SECAM like approach to bandwidth reduction is technical annoyance, but most studio users are not affected by it.
  • In S-MAC the luminance is compressed by 2:1 and the two chrominance signals by 4:1 so that all three may occupy the same line.
  • S-MAC's vision bandwidth is 11 MHz, only ~2.8x that of NTSC's vision bandwidth of 4.2 MHz.
  • S-MAC can be carried on a single circuit and converted losslessly to and from C-MAC at any stage.
  • S-MAC is well suited for SNG applications (AKA: news gathering trucks).

MAC system innovations[edit]

Mathematical

  • A-MAC proved the mathematical principle that separating vision from colour for TV transmission was technologically viable.

Broadcast engineering

  • The MAC audio subsystem is very similar to NICAM, so much so that identical chip-sets are used.

Broadcast engineering

  • D-MAC satellite broadcasts provided the first broadcast sourced wide-screen television in Europe, and HD-MAC provided the first HDTV broadcasts, in 1992.

Technical challenges[edit]

Although the MAC technique is capable of superior video quality, (similar to the improvement of component video over composite in a DVD player), its major drawback was that this quality was only ever realized when the video signals being transmitted remained in component form from source to transmitter. If at any stage the video had to be handled in composite form, the necessary encoding/decoding processes would severely degrade the picture quality.

  • Terrestrial TV broadcasters were never able to take full advantage of MAC image quality due to multiple interactions between their composite and component signal paths.
  • Direct to Home and TVRO broadcasters were able to take advantage of MAC's improved image quality because their studios and routing facilities were far less complex.
  • The success of NICAM audio for terrestrial television can be traced to the success of MAC technology. The MAC audio subsystem is nearly identical in design and function to NICAM.

Technological obsolescence[edit]

Since the vast majority of TV stations and similar installations were only wired for composite video, the fitting of a MAC transmitter at the end of the chain had the effect of degrading the transmitted image quality, rather than improving it.

For this and other technical reasons, MAC systems never really caught on with broadcasters. MAC transmission technology was made obsolete by the radically new digital systems (like DVB-T and ATSC) in the late 1990s.

Although MAC transmission systems are still used, the technology is obsolete. Where can i download sims 4 for free mac. It is expected that MAC will cease to be used for TV transmission by 2012.

How to remove TechSignalSearch from Mac computers

What is TechSignalSearch?

TechSignalSearch is the name of malicious software that causes a number of problems. Research shows that most people who have systems and/or browsers infected with TechSignalSearch do not know exactly how this malicious software was downloaded and installed. This software prevents apps from functioning, forces browsers to open various websites, causes problems with internet connections, and so on. It might also monitor web browsing activity. If there is reason to believe that TechSignalSearch is installed on the operating system and/or browser, remove it immediately.

Signal For Windows

People with TechSignalSearch installed on their systems experience problems with internet connections and cannot properly use some applications. For instance, this malicious software stops Safari and Mail apps from responding, does not allow email and other clients/browsers to establish a connection to the server, reduces internet speed, and so on. Some users are also forced to search using the Yahoo search engine, although their default search engine is set to Google. TechSignalSearch is likely to gather various browsing data. For example, IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, and so on. It might also record private, sensitive information. If this is the case, developers might misuse the information to generate revenue and/or sell it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). To avoid problems caused by TechSignalSearch, remove it immediately.

People download and install software such as TechSignalSearch intentionally - they often believe that it is legitimate and useful (developers advertise it as such). They are generally tricked into installing it. These apps deliver no real value and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Furthermore, they often cause problems relating to browsing safety and privacy, and users sometimes experience more serious problems such as identity theft, monetary loss, etc.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

In most cases, malware and other unwanted software is distributed through Trojans, spam campaigns, fake software updaters, software 'cracking' tools and dubious software download sources. Trojans are malicious programs that often cause chain infections. In summary, when a Trojan is installed, it starts proliferating other malicious programs. To distribute unwanted software through spam campaigns, cyber criminals send emails with malicious files attached (or web links that download malicious files). Operating systems become infected when people open the files. Typically, attached files are Microsoft Office or PDF documents, archive files (ZIP, RAR), executable files (.exe and other files), JavaScript files, so on. Fake software updating tools install malicious software by exploiting bugs/flaws of outdated software that is installed on the computer, or by installing unwanted software rather than updates, fixes, etc. Software 'cracking' tools infect systems in a similar manner. People who use these tools expect them to bypass activation of licensed, paid software, however, they often install malware or other unwanted programs instead. Untrustworthy, unofficial websites, free file hosting, freeware download websites, third party downloaders, Peer-to-Peer networks and other similar software download channels are used to proliferate malicious programs. Cyber criminals upload malicious files that they disguise as legitimate and harmless, and hope that someone will download and open them. When executed, the files download unwanted software, including malware.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not open attachments or web links that are included in irrelevant emails, especially if they are received from unknown, suspicious addresses. Installed software should be updated through implemented tools and/or functions that are designed by official developers. Files and software should be downloaded from official, trustworthy websites. None of the tools mentioned above should be trusted. If installed software is not free, it should not be activated using unofficial, third party activation ('cracking') tools. It is illegal to activate licensed programs in this way, and these tools can infect systems with malicious programs. Scan the operating system with reputable antivirus or anti-spyware software regularly and keep it up to date. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
