CCIR System N

CCIR System N is an analog broadcast television system introduced in 1951 and adopted by Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay (since 1980), paired with the PAL color system (PAL-N).[1][2][3] It was also used briefly in Brazil and Venezuela.

It employs the 625 line/50 field per second waveform of PAL-B/G, D/K, H, and I, but on a 6 MHz channel with a chrominance subcarrier frequency of 3.582056 MHz[2][4][5] (very similar to NTSC). On the studio production level, standard PAL cameras and equipment were used, with the signal then transcoded to PAL-N for broadcast.[2] This allows 625-line, 50-frame/s video to be broadcast in a 6-MHz channel, at some cost in horizontal resolution.

Specifications

The general System N specifications are listed below.[6][4]
