wireless transmission Explanation: First we had radio (wireless) and then TV (also over the air, i.e by radio frequencies or wireless). Your problem comes up from time to time. It's not exactly an error, but a translator should aim for style. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs 20 mins (2003-11-03 20:28:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just occurred to me: we don\'t know whether your video signals are TV or sth else. That could lead to \"delicacies\" of translation. |

Yes, it's perfectlt correct technical English Explanation: Transmission of video signals via the use of radio waves --- perfectly good technical English, nothing to pick holes in! 'Radio' in a technical sense does not mean 'sound-only radio' as in the laymans;' context (as distinct from TV = with pictures); it means 'electromagnetic waves for transmission purposes (etc.)' 'wireless (telegraphy/telephony)' or 'WT' is a rather old-fashioned term now, the modern version of 'cordless' of course has many different connotations.... |
