NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan.
It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution. PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a
standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution.
SECAM (Sequential Color Memory) is used sparingly around the world and can be found in France, parts
of Greece, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa and a few other parts of the world. However, any SECAM
country can display PAL tapes in full color, but not all PAL countries can display all SECAM tapes in
color. Only if they are true SECAM and not MESECAM can those VCR's display SECAM.
Are DVD discs PAL or NTSC?
DVD discs are still either PAL or NTSC standard. Also, similar to multisystem VCRs, most DVD players
will not convert video standards. When you're playing an NTSC-standard DVD, it will output an NTSC
signal. When you're playing a PAL-standard DVD, it will output a PAL signal.
There are two ways to watch both PAL and NTSC DVDs. You can either view your DVDs on a multisystem TV, or purchase
a NTSC/PAL or PAL/NTSC DVD Player. Click here to view our current NTSC/PAL & PAL/NTSC DVD Players.
What is a multisystem DVD?
Different areas of the world use different video standards. North America uses NTSC, Europe uses PAL
and SECAM, South America uses PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL and NTSC. Almost every area of the world has a
mixture of video standards. Unfortunately, none of these standards are compatible with each other.
A multisystem DVD has the ability to play dvd movies of different video standards. Click here to view our current NTSC/PAL & PAL/NTSC DVD Players.
What video standard does my country use?
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC.
Most other areas of the world use PAL or SECAM. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses
PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL. If you're
unsure what your video standard is, contact your local cable or broadcast company. Also, on the
back of most video tapes is indicate what video standard the tape is. This is a good representation
of what your video standard is.
