What is pal tv?

PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is a television transmission system used in many countries around the world. It was developed in Germany in the 1960s and replaced the older black and white system. Unlike earlier systems that used different amplitude modulation methods to transmit color information, the PAL system uses a phase modulation method that is more efficient and provides better image quality.

PAL broadcasts use 625 lines per frame instead of the 525 lines used in the NTSC system used in North America. PAL TV also features a different frame rate of 25 frames per second, which results in smoother motion on the screen. PAL broadcasts are also sharper, with more accurate colors and fewer visual artifacts than other systems.

Today, PAL is used in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Spain. However, with the advent of digital television and the move towards high-definition broadcasting, many countries are transitioning to newer transmission systems like DVB-T and ATSC.
