Hi Guys & Girls,

Perhaps I can shed some light on the subject.

The difference between PAL, NTSC and SECAM is the way the colour is 'encoded' in
the signal.
The difference between N, M, BG and I is the space (in MHz) between the picture
and sound signal (it varies (if memory serves) between  4 and 5.5 MHz).

Some small remarks:
- All standards can be broadcasted in 50 and 60 Hz, but NTSC is typically
broadcasted in 60 Hz, while PAL and SECAM are typically broadcasted in 50 Hz.
- As far as I know ALL TV's that can handle SECAM can also handle PAL
- RGB (or YUV) are not (colour) coded, so if your monitor/TV can't handle the
CVBS (or YC) signal, using RGB (or YUV) is the best solution.
