  2. NTSC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC

    The color-under format of VHS uses a 629 kHz subcarrier while U-Matic & Betamax use a 688 kHz subcarrier to carry an amplitude modulated chroma signal for both NTSC and PAL formats. Since the VCR was ready to play the color portion of the NTSC recording using PAL color mode, the PAL scanner and capstan speeds had to be adjusted from PAL's 50 Hz ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

    However, an "NTSC", "PAL" or "SECAM" DVD player that has one or more analog composite video output (baseband or modulated) will only produce NTSC, PAL or SECAM signals, respectively, from those outputs, and may only play DVDs identified with the corresponding format. NTSC is the analog TV format historically associated with the United States ...

  4. Television standards conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_standards...

    NTSC uses 525 lines at 59.94 fields/s (60000/1001) or 30 frames/s The NTSC standard is temporally and spatially incompatible with both PAL and SÉCAM. Aside from the line count being different, converting to a format that requires 60 fields every second from a format that has only 50 fields poses difficulty.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_broadcast_video_formats

    Below is a list of broadcast video formats. 24p is a progressive scan format and is now widely adopted by those planning on transferring a video signal to film. Film and video makers use 24p even if they are not going to transfer their productions to film, simply because of the on-screen "look" of the (low) frame rate, which matches native film.

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/480i

    There are several conventions for written shorthands for the combination of resolution and rate: 480i60, 480i/30 (EBU/SMPTE always use frame rate to specify interlaced formats) and 480/60i. 480i is usually used in countries that conventionally use NTSC (most of the Americas and Japan), because the 525 transmitted lines at 60 hertz of analogue ...

  8. Analog television - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_television

    The same basic format (with minor differences mainly related to timing and the encoding of color) is used for PAL, NTSC, and SECAM television systems. A monochrome signal is identical to a color one, with the exception that the elements shown in color in the diagram (the colorburst , and the chrominance signal) are not present.

    ATSC includes two primary high definition video formats, 1080i and 720p. It also includes standard-definition formats, although initially only HDTV services were launched in the digital format. ATSC can carry multiple channels of information on a single stream, and it is common for there to be a single high-definition signal and several ...
