Fifth Entry for Storyboarding and Camera

Recording Formats...

Four recording standards currently being used to broadcast television around the world

Pal - 625 horizontal lines, 25 fps, Australia, UK, west Europe, China, South America

NTSC - 525 horizontal lines, 30 fps, United States, Canada, Japan

Secam - 625 horizontal lines, 50 Hz, utilizes different technology to the other two formats, France, Former USSR

HDTV - 1,080 lines, 50i

For some historical reason which I'm lazy to look for, different countries in the planet decided they should broadcast their TV programs differently, one of my guesses is that it was to make it harder to copy a broadcast, but it probably was due to electricity and voltage difficulties, as CRT monitors and old tube televisions depend a lot on the electricity's current to generate their frames per second.
