THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NTSC COMMONLY AVAILABLE FOR CONVERSION. NTSC 3.58 WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH AMERICA AND CANADA & NTSC 4.43 WHICH IS FOR JAPAN (ALTHOUGH JAPAN IS CHANGING TO PAL NOW). MOST CONVERTERS WILL CONVERT FROM EITHER FORMS OF NTSC BUT MOST CONVERTERS WILL OUTPUT IN ONLY NTSC 3.58 SO IF IT'S NTSC 4.43 YOU NEED OUTPUT, BEWARE.

This can be a nightmare, if you look around you will see devices which cost £22 ish so why would you pay £100 + for something that seemingly does the same job?

There are two types of converter

1.

Analogue.
This is a very simple device which will allow any PAL TV which has a stable black and white picture to show the screen in glorious colour, they only tend to work for screens up to 28" in size as they get a bit blurry on larger tv's. They are a simple fix and never should be bought for recording purposes.

So, if you just need to get a colour picture on a PAL TV when your existing picture is stable but black and white then an analogue device will help you. A good example of this use is with computer gaming and a DVD player & Camcorders.

We recomend the model below as there is a small white box out there which is notoriously unreliable. Our model has a bypass button, so if you do pass different regions down the same line ( like on a multi region DVD player) then this little box is a good buy, you won't be fiddling with wires every time there is a region change. They are reliable too.



ANALOGUE NTSC TO PAL CONVERTER
 

Great for imported gamecube's, X-Box's, PS2's & Dreamcast consoles
NTSC Camcorders,
DVD players,
Video Recorders
Graphic cards

GET A FULL COLOUR ON A PAL TV WHEN YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A STABLE BLACK AND WHITE ONE FROM A PURE NTSC SOURCE
Good for UK consoles using DVD region X and similar software.Now you can watch NTSC video signals on a PAL TV in full colour, economically.
This converter is ideal for Region 1 DVD players/ discs, NTSC  Camcorders, Playstations, GameCube,Xbox's, Dreamcasts etc.This simple analogue converter allows NTSC signals to be viewed on PAL TV. All it does is add colour to your picture so if you are getting a stable black and white picture in the first place, this device will make that a full colour picture. It does not change the frame rate so recording this image is not possible

If you are experiencing a rolling picture with your present set up, this item is not suitable for you.

VIDEO IN/OUT 1Vpp RCA sockets
Audio loopthrough RCA sockets
7.5V DC
size 90x40x155mm

Simple to use - Available with either a 230-240v mains adaptor or 110v power supplies, we will automatically provide you with the power supply for the delivery country. If you need a special power supply for that country please mention this with your order.

IMPORTANT
If you have big TV, buy a better converter than this, anything over 28 inch is pushing it.
A good guide to how effective this device will be is if you can get a stable black and white image on your television in the first place, if so our machine will produce the colour image you require.

THE BEAUTY OF THIS DEVICE IS THAT IT HAS A SIGNAL BYPASS BUTTON, SO YOU TURN THE CONVERTER OFF WHEN WATCHING NON NTSC SIGNALS, NO MESSY FIDDLING WITH LEADS ETC.

Works with any PAL system ( PAL I, B/G ,M ,N )

2.

Digital
They do the real work, converting from 525 lines of NTSC to 625 lines of PAL and they physically change the refresh rate 60 hz for NTSC and 50Hz for PAL. If you wish to record the conversion you can only use a digital converter for NTSC and PAL. The processor is far more expensive for this kind of conversion because it all has to be done in realtime. Most machines under £300 also tend to have a physical screen size limit of 28" measured top right to bottom left of the screen after which the resolution becomes poorer and the picture more blocky.

Digital is required if any kind of recording is occuring & these are the areas where most people are effected.

1. Bought a digital camera in an NTSC area, come home to find it won't record in a PAL region.
2. DVD conversion.
3. If you get a rolling screen when you plug in your NTSC source to a PAL TV.
4. You have a true NTSC video recorder and you need to convert NTSC tapes to PAL*

The model below was developed by us to work with largescreens and to be as easy to use as is possible. It's price is a genuine breakthrough too. You get great resolution foir the price.



ALL REGIONS TO PAL, TRUE FIELD CONVERTER
Converts  NTSC & SECAM to PAL
REF:ALLREGION2PAL

Our latest device, capable of converting from any form of NTSC or SECAM to PAL, it has 3 advantages over existing machines.

It's incredibly low price
It's ability to work on even the largest TV screens.
The resulting signal is recordable.

This device is perfect for

1. Anyone who has bought a camcorder in a country where the broadcast system is not PAL, only to find that when returning home, the output is not viewable on your TV or recordable. This device will convert any form of NTSC (American or Japanese) and SECAM to PAL and the result is viewable on a large screen TV and you can make copies of your conversion onto ordinary PAL VCR's, or DVD recorders.

2. Anyone who has tried to use ANY NTSC product that results in a rolling black and white picture on your TV set. This unit converts this picture to a stable colour one. Great for Games consoles, (playing a chipped console with an NTSC game, and wanting to watch the result on a PAL TV.)

3. Anyone who has bought a Multi Region DVD player but gets a rolling black and white picture on their TV. This will give you a Gloriously stable, colour picture and the conversion is RECORDABLE.

4. Anyone who has bought NTSC cable or satellite and need to watch the signal on a PAL TV set, in Stable full colour and the result is RECORDABLE.

5. Anyone who needs to convert any NTSC signal to PAL and record the conversion.


 

PLEASE NOTE
WE MAY BE STATING THE OBVIOUS HERE, BUT IF YOU HAVE A PAL VCR THAT BOASTS IT HAS NTSC PLAYBACK, NTSC PLAYBACK IS NOT ACTUALLY TRUE NTSC.( IT'S  PAL 60) AND THIS DEVICE WILL NOT CONVERT IT. IF YOU DO NEED THIS CONVERSION, PLEASE EMAIL US FOR SOLUTIONS.

When we saw the spec. of this machine, we thought it must be expensive to work even for large screen tv's . It actually produces a better picture than devices costing £350 +.

*Please note that many people buy converters thinking that they will convert a PAL VCR with NTSC playback facility to PAL. NTSC playback is just that, you can play your NTSC tape on a suitably compatible PAL TV. A NTSC playback machine however does not produce a natural recording source, it actually ouputs something called PAL 60 and this is not ordinarily recordable. There are solutions for this, you may wish to look at this link.
