NAME
Video::Frequencies - Many, many frequency constants and lists.SYNOPSIS
use Video::Frequencies;
while (my($name,$list) = each %CHANLIST) {
print "$name\n";
while (my($channel,$freq) = each %$list) {
printf " %-4s %9d\n", $channel, $freq;
}
print "\n";
}
DESCRIPTION
This module exports (yes, exports!) frequency constants as well as hashes with channel => frequency relations for digital and analog video and audio broadcast. Another, shorter way to put it is ``worldwide channel/frequency list''. All frequencies are given in kHz.It's a good idea to use "perldoc -m Video::Frequencies" to get an idea on how the various constants and lists look like.

728 32-kHz, 14-bit digital stereo audio is transmitted in 1ms frames
containing 8 bits frame sync, 5 bits control, 11 bits additional data,
and 704 bits audio data. The bit rate is reduced by transmitting only
10 bits plus parity of each 14 bit sample, the largest sample in a frame
determines which 10 bits are transmitted. The parity bits for audio
samples also specify the scaling factor used for that channel during that
frame. The companeded audio data is interleaved to reduce the influence
of dropouts and the whole frame except for sync bits is scrambled for
spectrum shaping. Data is modulated using QPSK
, at below following

Channel->Frequency Relations
The Channel->Frequency relations are stored in the following hashes. The keys are the Channel names, the values are the corresponding frequency in kHz. For example, ``arte'' is channel ``SE6
'' in the town in Germany I live
in, so, consequently, $PAL_EUROPE{SE6
} equals 140250, the frequency I have
to tune my receiver.
