SECAM to NTSC

SECAM to PAL converters need A DIGITAL device, they will also allow recording of the conversion too. SECAM has a refresh rate of 50HZ and NTSC 60Hz so true field converting is required.To get a stable colour picture from a genuine SECAM source on an NTSC TV ( or Recorder) a basic device like the one below will help you.

THERE IS A WORLD BROADCASTING STANDARDS TABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE

We recommend the model below as it is a World System Converter too, please note that it only outputs NTSC 3.58 which is the USA/Candian version of NTSC. If you require NTSC 4.43 then contact us.

CONVERTS SECAM TO NTSC
Professional results at an amazing price, complete with S-video for superior conversion.
We have been looking for a small, light device that you can easily take with you all over the world for a very long time now. It's simplicity itself with just video composite ( RCA) in and out & S-Video in and Out. Audio does not have to be converted, so you run that from source to recorder/Tv. Scaleable image to fit right on your screen and a simple flick of a button for PAL or NTSC. Couldn't be simpler.The picture is surprisingly good, even on largescreen TV's, vabrant and rock steady.

THIS CONVERTER IS PERFECT FOR THE FOLLOWING USES.

1. YOU NEED AN NTSC DEVICE (3.58 OR 4.43 NTSC-DVD,GAMES CONSOLE,VCR,CAMCORDER ETC) TO WORK IN FULL COLOUR ON A PAL TV UP TO 60" IN SIZE.
