FRAME COUNT:NTSC - 30 frames / second - 60HzPAL - 25 frames / second - 50Hz SECAM - 25 frames / second - 50Hz PAL-M - 30 frames / second - 60Hz |
TIME CODE:Whereas with NTSC you have a choice between non-drop and drop frame time code, PAL and SECAM have only one kind of time code. It is similar to non-drop frame as it does not skip any numbers, but like drop frame it runs in real time.One other major difference between each of the standards is in the way color information is encoded from its primary Red, Green and Blue (RGB) component. | |
WHERE ARE THEY USED:NTSC is primarily used in North and Central America, The Philippines, South Korea and Japan. PAL is more widely used, covering most of Western Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, parts of the Middle East, Algeria, Eastern and Southern Africa. SECAM is used in France, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union (C.I.S.), parts of the Middle East, Central and Western Africa..World television standards tend to reflect the former colonial divisions of the world, so former French colonies in the Middle East and West Africa are SECAM, whereas Eastern and Southern Africa are PAL due to the British and Dutch influence. |
