World VCR System and Voltage Guide!

  • PAL stands for phase alternation lines(625 lines) offers more picture detail and wider luminance (color signal) bandwidth. PAL has been adopted by almost all 50 HZ (50 cycles) countries in the world.

  • NTSC stands for national television standard committee which established american TV broadcast TV standard as a 525 line broadcast. NTSC system has higher frame rate which reduces visible flicker and picture noise.

  • SECAM stands for sequential couleur AVEC memoire designed by the french and was adopted in france and eastern europen countries. Secam system has higher number of scan lines (625 lines) which offers more picture detail and stable hues

    The difference between a Multisystem VCR and a Converter!
    A multisystem VCR allows you to play video tapes from overseas, but doesn't convert the video signals. So basically, using a multisystem VCR alone won't allow you to watch a PAL tape on your NTSC television. A converting multisystem VCR will convert its video ouput signal through a built-in video converter, so you can watch a PAL tape on an NTSC TV.

World Television Systems and Voltage Guide
  • PAL (Phase Alternation Line) offers 625 lines per second to produce a very detailed image on a wider luminance (color signal) bandwidth.The PAL system has been adopted by almost all of the world's countries using the 50 hz (cycles) voltage.
  • NTSC (National Television Standard Committee), the American broadcast frequency, offers 525 lines per second to produce an image with a faster frame rate, which reduces visible flickering and picture noise
