This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record many hours of music on a single CD. NTSC - An acronym for National Television System Committee. The organization that developed both the American Black & White and Color television system. PAL - An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems. The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe. PCM - An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. This is the form of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data communications. S-video - A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance signals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C.
