PAL Stands for Phase Alternating Line Terminology | Dictionary | Explanation PAL is the television and video standard in Europa, South America, Australia, South Asia, and Africa. PAL produces interlaced 625-line 25 frame/second picture. PAL is one of the two major standards in the world. The other major one is NTSC. In the 1950s, when the Western European countries were planning to establish colour television, they were faced with the problem that the already existing American NTSC standard wouldn't fit the 50 Hz AC frequency of the European power grids. In addition to that NTSC demonstrated several weaknesses, including colour tone shifting under less-than-ideal transmission conditions, for these reasons the development of the SECAM and PAL standards began. The goal was to provide a colour TV standard with a picture frequency of 50 fields per second (50 Hertz), and sporting a better colour picture than NTSC. |
