NTSC PLAYBACK to PAL

The most common mistake in conversion work is that a PAL Video recorder which boasts NTSC playback actually does more than it's telling you it will. NTSC playback is NTSC playback, it does not produce a natural recording signal. NTSC playback is actually PAL 60. It was developed to stop people buying tapes from the USA and watching/copying the movie before it even appeared on the Pictures in Europe. To compound the enigma you get a full colour picture on a modern Tv ( 60 HZ compatible) but you just can't seem to record the signal somehow.

It has components of PAL ie the number of lines 625 but it has the refresh rate of NTSC so it will always confuse any recording device. The best way around this problem is to buy a dedicated NTSC video recorder and a converter but there are PAL 60 to PAL 50 converters out there. There is one limiting factor with PAL 60, no matter how much you spend on a converter, the picture will start to become jerkier the larger the tv size. I would never recommend a device like this if your tv has it's own gravitational pull, but if it's 26" or less, this is the cheapest solution out there.
 
 

We recommend this model for people on a budget, it does great conversion for screen sizes up to 26", the next PAL 60 converter on mthe market is 5 times the price. Below this item is a cheap way to own an NTSC VCR and converter.



ALL REGIONS TO PAL, A TRUE FIELD CONVERTER
Converts  NTSC & SECAM to PAL
REF:ALLREGION2PAL

Our latest device, capable of converting from any form of NTSC or SECAM to PAL, it has 3 advantages over existing machines.

1. It's incredibly low price
2. It's ability to work on even the large TV screens up to 60".
3. The resultant signal is recordable.

CONVERTS NTSC PLAYBACK ( PAL 60) FROM YOUR VIDEO RECORDER, LASERDISC OR DVD PLAYER INTO PAL 50 WHICH IS A RECORDABLE SIGNAL.

This device is perfect for

1. Anyone who has bought a camcorder in a country where the broadcast system is not PAL, only to find that when returning home, the output is not viewable on your TV or recordable. This device will convert any form of NTSC (American or Japanese) and SECAM to PAL and the result is viewable on a large screen TV and you can make copies of your conversion onto ordinary PAL VCR's, or DVD recorders.

2. Anyone who has tried to use ANY NTSC product that results in a rolling black and white picture on your TV set. This unit converts this picture to a stable colour one. Great for Games consoles, (playing a chipped console with an NTSC game, and wanting to watch the result on a PAL TV.)

3. Anyone who has bought a Multi Region DVD player but gets a rolling black and white picture on their TV. This will give you a Gloriously stable, colour picture and the conversion is RECORDABLE.

4. Anyone who has bought NTSC satellite and need to watch the signal on a PAL TV set, in Stable full colour and the result is RECORDABLE.

5. Anyone who needs to convert any NTSC signal to PAL and record the conversion

6. Anyone wanting to record a signal which is NTSC playback only ( ie play NTSC tapes on your PAL Video recorder)  This signal was designed to be "non recordable" even though you can watch it in full colour on your TV. Our device takes that "non recordable signal" and converts it to normal PAL so you can record it.

The best solution is to start with a genuine NTSC video recorder and converter.

JVC MULTI SYSTEM VCR & CONVERTER
REF:JVCNTSCVCR+ADC660

IDEAL FOR CONVERTING MOST FORMATS TO PAL
It's difficult getting anything over from America at the moment so we have these second user VCRs in very good condition, they can play pseudo s-video sources too so you get a fabulous picture. In fact it's better than my professional Sony. We sell it with our ADC660 and the details follow. It will play PAL I, PAL D/K,PAL B/G tapes as well as NTSC 3.58 and NTSC 4.43, it also plays Mesecam too. I suggest that you buy this for NTSC conversions and our ADC660 will convert it effortlessly to PAL 50 for recordings in Europe. They are 230v too, so power conversion is not required.

The combined price is sensational.
