Even though this usage is common, it is misleading as that is not the original meaning of the terms PAL / SECAM / NTSC.

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.

This digital signature code is not present in PAL 7800s, which use various heuristics to detect 2600 cartridges, due to export restrictions.

In the PAL system, the color subcarrier is 4. 43 MHz above the video carrier, while in the NTSC system it is 3. 58 MHz above the video carrier.

In NTSC and PAL, hue is represented by a phase shift of the chrominance signal relative to the color burst, while saturation is determined by the amplitude of the subcarrier.

Chrominance is represented by the U-V color plane in PAL and SECAM video signals, and by the I-Q color plane in NTSC.

For 4: 3 aspect-ratio broadcasts, the 640 × 480 format is used in NTSC countries, while 720 × 576 is used in PAL countries.

For 16: 9 broadcasts, the 720 × 480 format is used in NTSC countries, while 720 × 576 is used in PAL countries.

Without using overscan, the Amiga's graphics display is 320 or 640 pixels wide by 200 ( NTSC ) or 256 ( PAL ) pixels tall.

Vertical resolution, without overscan, is 200 pixels for an 60 Hz NTSC Amiga or 256 for a 50 Hz PAL Amiga.

On a regular NTSC or PAL display, DMA audio playback is limited to a maximum output rate of 28867 values per channel ( PAL: 28837 ) per second totaling 57674 ( PAL: 57734 ) values per second on each stereo output.

However, in other parts of the world that used the PAL or SECAM analog standards, standard-definition television is now usually shown with a 16: 9 aspect ratio, with the transition occurring between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s.

Due to its NTSC-only design it did not find a market in countries that used the PAL standard, such as in Europe.

CRTs used for television operate with horizontal scanning frequencies of 15, 734 Hz ( for NTSC systems ) or 15, 625 Hz ( for PAL systems ).

The NTSC and PAL standards are the most commonly used, although there are other video standards that employ different subcarrier frequencies.

These can be possessed with an ordinary PAL, and are the only class of firearms which can be used for hunting, due to the ATT ( Authorization to Transport ) requirement for Restricted and Prohibited weapons, as well as provincial regulations.

* A third theory suggests that Nepal came from compounding the words NE, which means wool, and PAL, which means a tented house ; a long time ago, Nepal used to produce a lot of wool and the houses were used to store the wool — hence the word NE-PAL.

The support of overscan, interlacing and genlocking capabilities, and the fact that the display timing was very close to broadcast standards ( NTSC or PAL ), made the Amiga the first ideal computer for video purposes, and indeed, it was used in many studios for digitizing video data ( sometimes called frame-grabbing ), subtitling and interactive video news.

Though most of the pattern is removed from PAL and NTSC-encoded signals with a comb filter ( designed to segregate the two signals where the luma spectrum may overlap into the spectral space used by the chroma ) by modern displays, some can still be left in certain parts of the picture.

According to this explanation, East German political authorities were well aware of West German television's popularity and adopted SECAM rather than the PAL encoding used in West Germany.

However, PAL and SECAM are just standards for the color sub carrier, used in conjunction with older standards for the base monochrome signals.

In most cases all processing within the TV-station is PAL and on the output line a PAL to SECAM transcoder is used before feeding the transmitter.

In the case of modern television receivers, no other technique was able to produce the precise bandpass characteristic needed for vestigial sideband reception, similar to that used in the NTSC system approved by the U. S. Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) in 1953, and the PAL system approved by the BBC in 1957.

) The 4. 433619 MHz and 17. 734475 MHz values are used in PAL color television equipment and devices intended to produce PAL signals.

SES launched the Astra 1A satellite to provide services to homes across Europe receivable on dishes of just 60 cm-80 cm and, although these mostly used PAL video format and FSS frequencies with linear polarization, the DBS name slowly came to applied to all Astra satellites and services too.

* IEC 169-2 connector, also called Belling Lee connector or PAL, used throughout Europe and some other countries for domestic television installations and as FM connector for radio.

In 1988 the release of the Amiga A2024 fixed-frequency monochrome monitor with built-in framebuffer and flicker fixer hardware provided the Amiga with a choice of high-resolution graphic modes ( 1024 × 800 for NTSC and 1024 × 1024 for PAL ).

Atari 7800 System ( PAL system with Joypad controller )

Several other therapies are currently under investigation, including gene therapy, large neutral amino acids, and enzyme substitution therapy with phenylalanine ammonia lyase ( PAL ).

In Europe, where the PAL TV format offers more resolution to begin with, " pan-and-scan " broadcasts and " pan-and-scan " DVDs of movies originally shown in widescreen are relatively rare.

The two common SDTV signal types are 576i, with 576 interlaced lines of resolution, derived from the European-developed PAL and SECAM systems ; and 480i based on the American National Television System Committee NTSC system.

Spectrum of a system G ( bands IV and V ) television channel with PAL color subcarrier.

However, with the fall of communism, and following a period when multi-standard TV sets became a commodity, many Eastern European countries decided to switch to PAL.

Other countries, notably the United Kingdom and Italy, briefly experimented with SECAM before opting for PAL.

The luminance signal is recorded in its original form ( albeit with some reduction of bandwidth ) but the PAL chrominance signal of about 4. 4 MHz is too sensitive to small changes in frequency caused by inevitable small variations in tape speed to be recorded directly ( NTSC suffers from the same problem ).

Most PAL VHS recorders, with MESECAM, has been analog tuner modified in western-Switzerland ( Suisse Romande ).

Because it uses frequency modulation, SECAM is not linear with respect to the input image ( this is also what protects it against signal distortion ), so electrically mixing two ( synchronized ) SECAM signals does not yield a valid SECAM signal, unlike with analog PAL or NTSC.

Hence, post-production is often done in PAL, or in component formats, with the result encoded or transcoded into SECAM at the point of transmission.

For obscure reasons a mere handful of copies of these games are known to be in circulation — with T-Mek being so scarce that until a copy surfaced on eBay in late 2005, it was widely held that the PAL release was only a rumor.
