Q3.
What is NTSC and PAL?
NTSC (National Television System Committee)
is the first color TV broadcast system that
was implemented in the United States in
1953. This was based on the NTSC - National
Television System Committee standard. NTSC
is used by many countries on the American
continent as well as many Asian countries
including Japan. NTSC runs on 525 lines/frame.
PAL (Phase Alternating Line ) was introduced
in the early 1960's and implemented in most
European countries except for France. The
PAL standard utilizes a wider channel bandwidth
than NTSC which allows for better picture
quality. PAL runs on 625 lines/frame.
