Color encoding system for analogue television

PAL is a colour encoding system for analogue television. It was one of the three major analogue colour television standards, the others being NTSC and SECAM. In most countries it was broadcast at 625 lines, 50 fields (25 frames) per second, and associated with CCIR analogue broadcast television systems B, D, G, H, I and K.
