Improved PAL Using a Combination of NTSC, SECAM, and PAL

Gerhard Holoch, Norbert Mayer

In improving an existing television system, it is of utmost importance that the new signals be compatible with existing transmission characteristics such as RF and cable links and video recorders, as well as with existing receivers. The improved system should also be able to work with the signals of the conventional system. This article describes an improved PAL (I-PAL) system that meets these requirements. Cross-color and cross-luminance are removed, and the horizontal resolution of the luminance signal is enhanced.
