Appendix R Analogue television broadcast systems

Two sets of parameters are defined by the International Telcommunications Union in ITU-R Recommendation BT.470 (see Appendix V) for analogue television services:

1 Colour encoding systems, falling into three main categories (see Table App.R.1)

2 Scanning and modulation parameters given single letter designations (see Table App.R.2).

These are added together to describe a particular service, e.g. PAL-I for the UK and SECAM-L for France. See also Appendix I.
