SECAM anyone?

[ceebee23]

I think all of us are familiar with NTSC and many of us are also familiar with PAL colour standards....but there is another major broadcast standard out there ....and it is rarely mentioned ....SECAM.

I know very little about it in practice ....although I have read technical articles I have never spoken with anyone with any practical experience of the system. It is as I understand it a form of line sequential colour system.

Given that it is in use in France and Russia and elsewhere there must be someone out there who has come across it in use!

Of course a quick study of DVDs coming from france is instructive ....they are all produced in PAL!
