It was also adopted in the Americas and Caribbean ; Myanmar , Philippines , South Korea , Taiwan and Japan (here with minor differences, informally referred to as System J) . System M doesn't specify a color system, but NTSC color encoding was normally used, with some exceptions: NTSC-J in Japan, PAL-M in Brazil and SECAM-M in Cambodia , Laos and Vietnam (see Color standards section below). The letter M designation

204-630: Is the analog broadcast television system approved by the FCC (upon recommendation by the National Television System Committee - NTSC) for use in the United States since July 1, 1941, replacing the 441-line TV system introduced in 1938. It is also known as EIA standard 170. System M comprises a total of 525 interlaced lines of video, of which 486 contain the image information, at 30 frames per second . Video

238-1277: Is the limiting horizontal resolution, affected by hardware and transmission quality (vertical resolution is fixed and determined by the video standard used, usually 525 lines or 625 lines ). The RMA 1946 Resolution Chart was transmitted by NTS and NOS in the Netherlands, SRG SSR in Switzerland, VRT and RTBF in Belgium, RTP in Portugal, TVP in Poland, TVB in Hong Kong, Venevisión in Venezuela (525-lines variant; in conjunction with Indian-head test pattern ), WISN-TV in Milwaukee , Wisconsin (525-lines variant) and on low-powered experimental transmissions by Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium in Eindhoven (NL) and Istanbul University in Turkey.

It

510-462: The Philippines remain on analog transmissions with digital simulcasts. Some of the important specifications for System M are listed below: Strictly speaking, System M does not designate how color is transmitted. However, in nearly every System M country, NTSC color encoding is used for color television . This combination is called NTSC-M, but usually simply referred to as "NTSC", because of

544-590: The Second World War, Telefunken was a supplier of vacuum tubes , transmitters and radio relay systems, and developed Funkmess facilities (later referred to as radar devices by the US Navy) and directional finders, as part of the German air defence against aerial bombing. During the war, manufacturing plants were shifted to and developed in west of Germany or relocated. Thus, Telefunken, under AEG, turned into

578-622: The Second World War, there were further manufacturing plants in the Berlin area, in Thuringia , Saxony , Moravia , Silesia , on Rügen . In addition, in Baltic countries at Tallinn and Riga , and in occupied areas of Poland at Kraków and Łódź , floats and works were established. The vacuum tube factory Łódź was shifted with the staff in August 1944 to Ulm ( Fortress Wilhelmsburg ). After

612-630: The V-41 amplifier for the German Radio Network. This was the very first two-stage, " Hi-Fi " amplifier. Over time, Telefunken perfected their designs and in 1950 the V-72 amplifier was developed.
