Later, someone decided that the US should have a
letter too. Let's make it
M! Yes! NTSC-M works! (I have no clue whose idea this was, but it makes a
mess of the whole NTSC nomenclature)
Beleive-it-or-not, PAL-M exists. It's PAL using 525 lines/60Hz vertical,
and a colour subcarrier around 3.58MHz (but not indentical to the NTSC
carrier for techncial reasons). There is also PAL-N (625/50Hz PAL, but
with a subcarrier around 3.58, not 4.43 MHz). I have a PAL-N encoder and
decoder somewhere...
Would I get flamed too much if I talked about NTSC-B (or NTSC-G, NTSC-I)
to refer to a 625 line colour signal with NTSC-like colour encoding?
