His inventions include the Analog high definition television system French 819 line .28755i.29 system 819 line French standard and the SECAM color system. He was also apparently behind the HD MAC high definition standard. On December 6, 1931, De France founded the Compagnie G n rale de T l vision in Le Havre , making television sets with a vertical definition of 60 lines. In February 1932, De France made several transmissions over a distance of 7 km from the Radio Normandie station in F camp . These signals were received by a few people located over 100 km away. In October 1932, he achieved a definition of 120 lines. In 1956, he patented the SECAM color television system. On October 1, 1967 at 2 15pm Central European Time CET , France 2 la deuxi me cha ne switched from black and white to color using SECAM.

Multi standard television sets were made for use in the television industry, so that one TV set or monitor could show video content from other television systems. Phillips produced a Vacuum tube valve TV set that could receive most 625 line and 819 line television systems. In England, there were quite a number of TV sets produced that were capable of receiving both monochrome 405 line and 625 line PAL I broadcasts. These sets usually had a large relay or relays that would switch the circuits, through manual control. The USSR and PAL in SECAM countries In the mid 1980 s The Soviet Union implemented a program, where it would be mandatory for new colour TV sets sold could have PAL also, in view to migrating to PAL . ref Stories told in Regency Park TAFE in 1986, by people who had connections in Eastern Europe ref That is why an Australian video tape will play in colour on a Russian TV set. ref Story from a DSP member who spent the 1990s in Russia ref Eventually it became the done thing for all SECAM TV sets made, to also accept PAL.

Newer TV sets would automatically accommodate the 60 Hertz vertical scan rate, and older TV sets needed a manual adjustment of the vertical hold. DVD players give the option of converting the whole signal to PAL standards complete with 50 Hertz scan rate.

Video standards converter is a video device that converts NTSC to PAL and or PAL to NTSC. The PAL TV signals may be transcoded to or from SECAM . Video standards converter is used so TV shows can be viewed in nations with different video standards.

Both the Camera and the monitor could be switched to either NTSC or PAL, to convert both ways.

Unreferenced date August 2010 The Moscow Programme was a television channel in the Soviet Union . It had a political focus and discussed events in Moscow . Now it is a television station broadcast by the Moscow City Government named TV Center . History The Moscow Programme was established in 1955. It broadcast from the Shabolovka television building in Moscow . As part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution in 1967, the new television headquarters was established at Ostankino in Moscow . At this point, all central television programmes in the USSR emanated from there. The Moscow Programme transmitted its channel over the SECAM D K band. In the 1980s it also expanded via the Gorizont satellite across much of Europe and Asia. In connection with the dissolution of the USSR, the Moscow Programme ceased its transmission by Soviet Central Television in October 1991. In Moscow the Moscow Programme continued to broadcast on the same frequency under the management of the Moscow Television Company. It aired programmes from 2x2 TV channel 2x2 in the evening.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Transform coding is a type of data compression for natural data like Sound recording audio Signal information theory signals or photographic image s. The transformation is typically Lossy compression lossy , resulting in a lower quality copy of the original input. In transform coding, knowledge of the application is used to choose information to discard, thereby lowering its Bandwidth computing bandwidth . The remaining information can then be compressed via a variety of methods. When the output is decoded, the result may not be identical to the original input, but is expected to be close enough for the purpose of the application. Colour Television Details YIQ NTSC One of the most successful transform encoding system is typically not referred to as such the example being NTSC color television . After an extensive series of studies in the 1950s, Alda Bedford showed that the human eye has high resolution only for black and white, somewhat less for mid range colors like yellows and greens, and much less for colors on the end of the spectrum, reds and blues. Using this knowledge allowed RCA to develop a system in which they discarded most of the blue signal after it comes from the camera, keeping most of the green and only some of the red this is chroma subsampling in the YIQ color space . The result is a signal with considerably less content, one that would fit within existing 6 MHz black and white signals as a phase modulated differential signal. The average TV displays the equivalent of 350 pixels on a line, but the TV signal contains enough information for only about 50 pixels of blue and perhaps 150 of red. This is not apparent to the viewer in most cases, as the eye has sophisticated systems for re building a sharp image based on clues from contrast and edges.

MAC encoding was designed in the mid 80s for use with Direct Broadcast Satellite systems. Other analog video encoding systems include NTSC , PAL and SECAM . Unlike the Frequency division multiplexing FDM method used in those, MAC encoding uses a Time division multiplexing TDM method. B MAC was a proprietary MAC encoding used by Scientific Atlanta for encrypting broadcast video services the full name was Multiple Analogue Component, Type B . ref http www.mlesat.com encryption.html Satellite Signal Encryption ref B MAC uses teletext style non return to zero NRZ signaling with a capacity of 1.625 Mbit s. The video and audio data signals are therefore combined at baseband. Both PAL 626 50 and NTSC 525 60 versions of B MAC were developed and used. User base PAL NTSC zones This system was used in Australia for TVRO until 2004. B MAC has not been used for DTH applications since Primestar switched to an all digital delivery system in the mid 1990s.

In digital applications it is usually referred to as 576i , in analogue contexts it is often quoted as 625 lines . ref http www.afterdawn.com glossary terms 576i.cfm afterdawn.com 576i ref The 576 identifies a vertical resolution of 576 lines, and the i identifies it as an interlacing interlaced resolution. The field rate , which is 50 Hertz Hz , is sometimes included when identifying the video mode, i.e. 576i50 another notation, endorsed by EBU SMPTE, includes the frame rate , as in 576i 25 . Its basic parameters common to both analogue and digital implementations are 576 scan lines of picture content, 25 frames giving 50 fields per second. Also in analogue, 49 additional blank lines for the sync pulse are added, resulting in 625 lines. Analogue television signals have no pixels they are rastered in scan lines, but along each line the signal is continuous. In digital television digital applications, the number of pixels per line is an arbitrary choice as long as it fulfils the sampling theorem .

RTL T l L tzebuerg is the main television channel in Luxembourg , broadcasting in Luxembourgish language Luxembourgish . The small television market in Luxembourg led to a unique system in Europe Luxembourg remains the only country in the world to run television stations in both the PAL and SECAM formats. Originally, both channels carried the same signal Tele Luxembourg. Later, the signals were split in the two independent stations RTL TVI PAL, system G, on channel 27, the i stand for independent , targeting the French speaking part of Belgium and RTL T l vision SECAM, system L, on channel 21 , targeting France . Both stations initially continued to carry a lot of the same programming, with regards to foreign series and movies, but produced news and game shows for their target audience. As restrictions on operating commercial television stations in Europe were relaxed in the mid 80s, RTL TVI moved entirely to Brussels , while the popularity of RTL T l vision was somewhat diminished by the success of M tropole 6 M6 . RTL T l vision was renamed RTL 9 and, even though its original terrestrial frequency in Luxembourg remains, it is now primarily a cable station for France. In 1984, German language RTL Plus now RTL Television was added on channel E7 PAL B . All these stations carried a program in Luxembourgish, called Hei Elei, Kuck Elei . The main purpose was to show these stations were essentially broadcasters from Luxembourg and not aiming to be commercial stations in Belgium , France and Germany . When the stations were licensed in their intended broadcasting regions, this program was dropped.
