WORLD TELEVISION SIGNAL GUIDE

The table below lists broadcast standards by country.

There are three main television standards used throughout the world.

NTSC - National Television Standards Committee

Developed in the US and first used in 1954, NTSC is the oldest existing broadcast standard. It

consists of 525 horizontal lines of display and 60 vertical lines. Only one type exists, known as

NTSC M. It is sometimes irreverently referred to as "Never Twice the Same Color."

SECAM - Systme lectronique pour Couleur avec Mmoire.

Developed in France and first used in 1967. It uses a 625-line vertical, 50-line horizontal display.

Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specifications. Types B and D


2/7

are usually used for VHF. Types G, H, and K are used for UHF. Types I, N, M, K1 and L areused for both VHF and UHF. These different types are generally not compatible with one

another. SECAM is sometimes irreverently referred to as "Something Essentially Contrary to theAmerican Method" or "SEcond Color Always Magenta."

P

AL -P

hase Alternating Line

Developed in Germany and first used in 1967. A variant of NTSC, PAL uses a 625/50-line

display. Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specifications. Commontypes are B, G, and H. Less common types include D, I, K, N, and M. These different types are

generally not compatible with one another. Proponents of PAL irreverently call it "Perfection AtLast," while critics of its enormous circuit complexity call it "Pay A Lot" or "Picture Always

Lousy."
