Turn on, turn in - to any station anywhere


A computer-scientist friend of mine once noted his computer’s sound system being the best he had ever owned. He spends much time working on computer. Still, some audio functions started crying out for a stand-alone device. Internet radio is a great example. Radio, whether coming from your hometown or from the other side of the world, is something you listen to while doing something else – like shaving, eating, or riding a bike. Get yourself a SoundBridge Radio Wi-Fi music system from Ruku, a company founded five years ago by Anthony Wood. He is known for being the inventor of the digital video recorder. The radio is elegant and compact black form packs excellent speakers, including a subwoofer and it turns into local stations in the AM and FM bands as well as to Internet stations, whose signals are conveyed wirelessly over your local area network. You quickly get used to switching from the BBC to Radio Helsinki to Minnesota Public Radio – a one-handed operation, thanks to the remote control. You aren’t limited to the Internet’s offerings, because any audio available on your network will register. Your computer’s music library will therefore be at your disposal. Roku’s packing so many functions into a small number of button combinations helps to master the control quickly. There are some limitations. You can’t take the radio to the beach, because it hasn’t got battery power. The system buffers streaming audio – which means interrupting the sound by the excessive lag in the Internet.

None of the drawbacks matter in the long run. After setting up the system it is a breeze to get it to do whatever you want.


а stand-alone device – независимое, автономное устройство

to cry out – настоятельно требовать, нуждаться

a subwoofer – динамик низких частот

to buffer – изолировать

a breeze – пустяк, легкая задача


XIII. Read the text. Express the main idea of the text. Translate it.


Analogue television basics


Television is the transmission and reception of pictures and sound by very high frequency (VHF) radio waves. In the television studio, or during outdoor broadcasts, one or more television cameras produce electrical signals of a moving visible scene. A video amplifier amplifies these signals and sends them along a line to the transmitting station. At the same time, sounds associated with the scene are converted into electrical signals by a microphone and these, too, are amplified along with the video signal. At the television transmitting station, two carrier waves are modulated, one with the video information and one with the sound information. The transmitting aerial picks up this wave and amplifies it before demodulating the vision and sound components. Two signals are separated out. The demodulated sound signal passes to an AF amplifier before being passed to a loudspeaker that recreates the original sound as accurately as possible. A video amplifier amplifiers the demodulated video signal before being passed to a cathode ray tube in the TV receiver to recreate an image of the original scene. A black-and-white television camera combines optics and electronics to produce electronic signals. The basis of this camera is the vidicon tube. It produces a narrow beam of electrons aimed at a photosensitive material on which a lens system focuses an optical image. I front of the target is a transparent aluminium film. The variation in brightness of the image is “read” using an electron beam that is made to move back and forth over the target. During this scanning process, the electron current varies in the circuit comprising the electron beam, the target, resistor, the power supply and the electron gun. The strength of the electron current thus follows the brightness of the image, and resistor turns these current variations into voltage variations comprising video signal. In the vidicon tube, the electron beam is made to scan the target by suitable signals passing through the scanning coils wound round the tube. The spot of electrons is first positioned at the top of the target and rapidly moved horizontally. At the end of the line, the spot is moved rapidly back to the left side of the target. This very rapid return of the spot is called flyback. A second line is now traced and the process repeated until the spot has reached the bottom right-hand corner of the target. The spot is then returned to the top left-hand corner of the screen and a second picture traced out. Thus scanning produces a picture made up of a set of parallel lines called a raster. The system that deflects the spot horizontally is called the field scan, and that which moves the spot downwards at a much slower rate is called line scan. The deflection is produced by magnetic fields generated by currents having a sawtooth shape. Scanning is a common way of building up pictures and is used in the cameras on weather satellites, and on interplanetary spacecraft that send us detailed pictures of planets during their exploration of the Solar System. In a TV receiver the picture is displayed on the screen of a cathode ray tube (CRT). The tube is an airless glass envelope, narrow and cylindrical at one end and flared out at the other end to form a viewing screen. By heating a filament at the narrow end, electrons are produced and these are accelerated and focused into a narrow beam by an electron gun before being “fired” along the axis of the tube towards the positive anodes. The horizontal and vertical deflection coils clamped round the neck of the tube move the beam back and forth across the screen to build up a picture as a set of lines on the screen. Where the electrons strike the phosphor, light is produced, the brightness of which is determined by the energy of the electrons. External controls on the receiver enable the intensity of the electron beam and therefore the overall brightness of the screen to be adjusted. Because a TV picture contains a lot of information, TV needs a bandwidth of about 11 MHz. In order to save “radio space”, this rather large bandwidth is halved to 5.5 MHz by a technique called interlaces scanning. Each complete picture is divided into two frames that are scanned and transmitted one after the other and then reassembled at the TV receiver. Thus, after the beam has scanned half the picture comprising 312.5 lines in 1/50s, it returns to scan the intervening lines. Therefore, although 50 frames are transmitted per second, only 25 complete pictures are transmitted per second.
