Why so much love for NTSC and so little for PAL and SECAM?
- emayljames 4mo agoInterlacing is synonymous with 80's/90's video
- mgaunard 4mo agoPAL and SECAM are also interlaced. Except PAL/SECAM don't have any of the color issues of NTSC.
- cf100clunk 4mo agoPAL's lower frame rate made for visible flicker, which viewers conditioned to NTSC could wearily detect.
- mgaunard 4mo agoFilm is 24fps which is lower than PAL. The 30fps of NTSC is actually associated with "cheap-looking" video.
- cf100clunk 4mo agoNTSC's rate was 29.97 and its lesser line count made images seem blurry to those who were used to PAL and SECAM. Folks viewing PAL after NTSC felt that the flicker caused eye fatigue.
