The PAL colour system (either baseband or with any RF system, with the normal 4.43 MHz subcarrier unlike PAL-M) can also be applied to an NTSC-like 525-line picture to form what is often known as "PAL 60" (sometimes "PAL 60/525", "Quasi-PAL" or "Pseudo PAL"). PAL-M (a broadcast standard) however should not be confused with "PAL 60" (a video ...
For viewing native PAL or SECAM material (such as European television series and some European movies) on NTSC equipment, a standards conversion has to take place. There are basically two ways to accomplish this: The framerate can be slowed from 25 to 23.976 frames per second (a slowdown of about 4%) to subsequently apply 3:2 pulldown .
Analog television systems were standardized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 1961, [1] with each system designated by a letter (A-N) in combination with the color standard used (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) - for example PAL-B, NTSC-M, etc.). These analog systems for TV broadcasting dominated until the 2000s.
NTSC 4.43 is a pseudo-system that transmits a NTSC color subcarrier of 4.43 MHz instead of 3.58 MHz [49] The resulting output is only viewable by TVs that support the resulting pseudo-system (such as most PAL TVs). [50] Using a native NTSC TV to decode the signal yields no color, while using an incompatible PAL TV to decode the system yields ...
A video standards converter is a video device that converts NTSC to PAL and/or PAL to NTSC. [1] The PAL TV signals may be transcoded to or from SECAM. Video standards converters are primarily used so television shows can be viewed in nations with different video standards. With the use of high-definition television, new digital video standards ...
NTSC and PAL image sizes are smallest, with a width of 720 (or 704) and a height of 480 or 576 lines. The third size is HDTV images that have 720 scan lines in height and are 1280 pixels wide. The largest size has 1080 lines high and 1920 pixels wide. 1080-line video is actually encoded with 1920×1088 pixel frames, but the last eight lines are ...
PAL region, a common term regarding video games, meaning regions where the 625-lines PAL standard was traditionally used. PAL/SECAM DVD; PAL/SECAM Video CD; Rec. 601, a 1982 standard for encoding interlaced analog video signals in digital video form. D-1, a 1986 SMPTE component digital recording video standard.
In the USA proper, the ability for an American TV set, or DVD player to play back a PAL DVD became widespread throughout the 2000s. By 2009 about 80% of DVD and TV setups in the United States could play a PAL DVD. So now a PAL DVD can be sold in the United States, without the need about issues with the DVD, converted into NTSC.
