The two main features that define a color television standard are the color encoding method and the rate at which images are displayed. North America uses a 60Hz image rate and uses NTSC color encoding. Europe uses PAL color encoding and a 50Hz image rate. It is important to note that the color encoding system is not tied to the frame rate but NTSC is normally only used at 60Hz and Pal at 50Hz. One of the techniques used by European multi-standard equipment is to take North American NTSC material and transcode the signal into PAL. The frame rate stays the same and the conversion from NTSC to PAL is relatively simple to do. The output is a PAL signal at 60Hz, known as PAL 60. Once the signal is output from the player, it then relies on the monitor being able to operate at 60Hz. Today, the majority of equipment is capable of operating in both PAL and NTSC at 50 or 60Hz so the PAL 60 technique is rarely used. However, as the technical ability to display different standards has developed, DVDs and other media have employed region coding. A DVD that has a region code for the US will generally not play on a European DVD player.

PAL 60 is the standard used for Broadcast Television in Brazil. The image / color encoding is PAL but the frame refresh rate is 30 fps (as it is with the old NTSC standard in the USA) rather than the 25 fps used in Europe. Because PAL produces significantly greater resolution than NTSC (720 X 576 for PAL, 640 X 480 for NTSC), increasing the frame refresh rate from 25 to 30 fps reduces motion blur while greatly improving resolution. Therefore, the Brazilian television picture has been much superior to that in Europe and the USA. That was true until the USA went to the digital format.

How do you change TV from PAL50 to PAL60?

PAL 60 is an unusual format that is rarely seen now. Before answering the question, here are some facts about color encoding and frame rates:PAL is the color encoding standard used throughout most of Europe and other parts of the worldNTSC is the color encoding standard used in North America, Japan and other parts of the world.Countries that use PAL use a television field rate of 50Hz while NTSC countries use 60Hz.Therefore, PAL signals are almost always 50Hz but it is quite possible to encode 60Hz signals using PAL. In fact, it is a relatively simple process to take a 60Hz NTSC signal and transcode it to a PAL signal, still at 60Hz. This is far easier to do than to convert the 60Hz signal into a 50Hz one. Some older VHS players and a few DVD players are capable of playing NTSC content and converting it to PAL 60. Many televisions of the same era would accept 60Hz signals although they did not have NTSC color decoders. PAL 60 was the ideal signal format to use with this combination of player and television.In recent times, most televisions can handle PAL and NTSC at the normal frame rates. PAL 60 (and similarly, NTSC 50) are not used so much. Technically, most televisions are perfectly able to handle these somewhat odd signals but each manufacturer designs the decoding stages in different ways. To make it even harder, it is almost impossible to find out from a retailer or manufacturer whether a particular model will handle PAL 60. The best way to find out is to simply try it.
