Color Subcarrier Frequency And TV Standards/TV Systems

Color subcarrier and other characteristics of the different NTSC, PAL and SECAM Television Standards compared worldwide.

1. Worldwide Television Standards for analog TV
A comparsion of various TV Systems which are used for broadcast television in different countries:

Television Standards and color coding
Standard (converter field)	vertical scan lines	vertical frequency/ refresh rate horizontal frequency	video band- width	audio carrier	color subcarrier frequency
NTSC M	525	59.94 Hz/59.94 fields/s 15734 Hz	4.2 MHz	4.5 MHz	3.57954545 MHz
(FCC) M b&w	525	60 Hz/60 fields/s 15750 Hz	4.2 MHz	4.5 MHz	-
PAL B PAL G PAL H	625	50 Hz/50 fields/s 15625 Hz	5.0 MHz	5.5 MHz	4.43361875 MHz
PAL D PAL K	625	50 Hz/50 fields/s 15625 Hz	6.0 MHz	6.5 MHz	4.43361875 MHz
PAL I	625	50 Hz/50 fields/s 15625 Hz	5.5 MHz	6.0 MHz	4.43361875 MHz
PAL M	525	59.94 Hz/59.94 fields/s 15734 Hz	4.2 MHz	4.5 MHz	3.575611 MHz
PAL N*	625	50 Hz/50 fields/s 15625 Hz	4.2 MHz	4.5 MHz	3.582056 MHz
SECAM B SECAM G SECAM H	625	50 Hz/50 fields/s 15625 Hz	5.0 MHz	5.5 MHz	4.406250 MHz/ 4.250 MHz
SECAM D SECAM K SECAM K1 SECAM L	625	50 Hz/50 fields/s 15625 Hz	6.0 MHz	6.5 MHz	4.406250 MHz/ 4.250 MHz

* PAL CN is used for cable television in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay in opposite to PAL N for broadcast television.

2. UHF (Ultra High Frequency)

UHF is a frequency band which is used for broadcast television. Electromagnetic waves with a frequency between 300 MHz and 3 GHz are assigned to the UHF band. UHF is usually used for: PAL G, PAL H, PAL K, SECAM G, SECAM H, SECAM K.


3. VHF (Very High Frequency)

VHF is also a frequency band used for broadcast television. But here one have electromagnetic waves with a frequency between 30 MHz and 300 MHz. VHF is usually used for: PAL B, PAL D, SECAM B, SECAM D. The standards which ordinarily use UHF as well as VHF are: NTSC M, PAL I, PAL M, PAL N, SECAM K1, SECAM L.


4. TV Standards of all countries subdivided into continents

The following overview of the various Television Standards is additionally subdivided into continents since this table seems to be more informative than a pure alphabetical order. There is unclarity in some cases about the continent assignment of several countries. For instance Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Israel and Turkey were assigned to Europe since these countries are often in connection with Europe. However, one can assign these countries even to the continent Asia. The data for this compilation were extensively investigated but nevertheless we can not guarantee the absolute correctness of the data of all countries. Future changes in the TV Standards or an alteration of a country name (e. g. Yugoslavia was splitted in Serbia/Montenegro and other states) may not immediately be included into this comparison. Please report hints for possible mistakes or actual changes.

* For these countries and territories it could not be exactly verified which TV Standard type is used.
