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 AS OUTPUT, BEWARE.

If you look around you will see analogue 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 NTSC 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 NTSC TV from a PAL source and 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.

Potential problems, some people living in South America and the borders can buy TV's which are multi region, they cater for NTSC and PAL M, if the TV is set to PAL M then you may get a stable black and white picture to start with, this converter will only help you if you have the tv set to NTSC, you will still get a stable black and white picture if you use this type of conveter with the TV set to PAL M. If your TV is definately from a set region like America or Canada and you are getting a stable picture, the analogue device will help you.

We recommend 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 PALTO NTSC CONVERTER
 

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

GET A FULL COLOUR ON AN NTSC TV WHEN YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A STABLE BLACK AND WHITE ONE FROM A PURE PAL SOURCE
Good for AMERICAN OR JAPANESE consoles using DVD region X and similar software.Now you can watch PAL video signals on an NTSC TV in full colour, economically.
This converter is ideal for Region 2 DVD players/ discs, PAL  Camcorders, Playstations, GameCube,Xbox's, Dreamcasts etc.This simple analogue converter allows PAL  signals to be viewed on an NTSC 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 mais 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.

2.

Digital
They do the real work, converting from 625 lines of PAL to 525 lines of NTSC and they physically change the refresh rate 50 hz for PAL and 60Hz for NTSC. 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 a PAL area, come home to find it won't record in an NTSC region.
2. DVD conversion.
3. If you get a rolling screen when you plug in your PAL source to an NTSC TV.
4. You have a true PAL video recorder and you need to convert PAL tapes to NTSC

The model below was is perfect for the beginner in converting NTSC to PAL and PAL to NTSC. Look for the link below for a range of other models with higher spec.
