[QuadList] NTSC/PAL Machines

[dcfwtx at aol.com]

On one of our VR 2000's, the proc. is switch able 525/625/819 French/Belgium. I have seen some units with 405 line capability. This was/is also on 1200's.


Our AVR-1's have 525/625 NTSC/PAL/SECAM built in.

Hi Pat: 
 
Yes, another filter module is required for PAL. 
 
The NTSC Colortec is a model 1011 and the Universal Colortec is model 1012. It handles NTSC, PAL & SECAM.  It has a different control panel from the standard Colortec with several easily identifiable features.  The array of 5 indicator lamps we are accustomed to seeing is not there.  Instead, there are only two lamps along with two adjustments.  And of course, the function switch is different and has fewer positions. 
 
I'd have to look at the early documentation to verify whether the first proc amps were dual standard.  They definitely were by the mid 60's, but there were a couple of different options.  The base unit has a switch for 525/625 operation, but there was also an automatic version available.  PAL required a different card set.

Hi Don, 
 
I had a couple of 1200B machines at Technicolor that we used for both NTSC 
and PAL.  I have attached a picture of one of those machines. 
Unfortunately I cannot find any of my closer pictures of the machine. 
There was an additional PAL signal module.  It had a NTSC/PAL proc amp.  I 
cannot recall the layout of the Colortec. 
 
The best, 
Pat
