571.0. "Norwegian TV broadcasting protocol." by YUPPY::BLAKEB (Sweet Lucy was a dancer......) Thu Sep 08 1994 05:10

    Hi,
    
    		A friend of mine wants to buy a video recorder in England
    and take it to Norway. Does the Norwegian TV/Video system work on the
    PAL protocol or the SECAM protocol or some other protocol.
    
    
    Thanks for any help,
    
    		Brendan.

Probably to late to be of any use to you, but for future reference:

Most countries in western Europe use PAL. (This certainly includes all the
scandinavian countries, Germany, Switzerland, Italy...)

France uses SECAM.

Russia also uses SECAM, but I think it differs a bit from the french version. If
I remeber correctly a signal is "inverted" (sign change or something like that).

I am very unsure about the former "eastern block" countries (Romania, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Estonia...). I suspect that Belorussia and the former parts of the
Soviet Union uses the "russian" SECAM
