PAL SECAM


Standards Converter

Standards converter boxes modify an input signal in one format (e.g. SECAM) to another (e.g PAL) as an output. They range in price from about £70 up to £300+. One manufacturer is letropaks . Note: Most converters when linked between a VCR and TV, will lose any On Screen Menu or Teletext information generated from a VCR.

Why would you need a SECAM compatible VCR ?

If you play a SECAM tape (pre-recorded or recorded off French TV) on a PAL only VCR the output signal will lose it's colour information, and therefore will play in B&W on a Multistandard TV. Top end Thomson VCRs sold in the UK used to be PAL/SECAM compatible, but recent models seem to be PAL / NTSC only. If they are SECAM compatible it will be displayed on the unit. Sony and LG Hard Disk recorders are generally SECAM compatible but please check for yourself. (part 1)
