National Television Standards Committee. Color video standard composed of a luminance signal and two color difference signals. 30 frames per second, 525 lines per frame, where 483 of these lines are visible on the screen, the remainder used for blanking. For interlaced video, the 525 lines are divided into 262.5 lines per field (see Interlace).

National Television Standards Committee. This is the television standard used in North America and Japan. Any standard of cartridge will play in any system, the problem lies with the TV. With most newer TV's, PAL games will cause the NTSC screen to roll. Some older TV's do not have this problem, or if you have a vertical/horizontal hold you can adjust it to the correct frequency. There will also be some color variances if you play a PAL game on an NTSC system and vice versa.

A committee formed by the FCC in 1940, comprised of industry engineering experts, to develop a recommendation for television standards to be adopted by the FCC. The FCC adopted the NTSC recommended standards on April 30, 1941. The NTSC color TV system was adopted by the FCC on December 17, 1953. Also, stands for the current standard for analog television broadcast.

The television standard used in numerous countries including the USA, Canada and Japan. NTSC has a lower vertical resolution than PAL but has a greater number of frames per second (30fps) and a higher refresh rate (60Hz). The conversion from the theatrical 24fps to the NTSC 30fps involves a process where for every 5 frames displayed one is repeated - this introduces a 'feature' known as 3:2 Pulldown which can cause the picture to appear jumpy on horizontal pans. The lower vertical resolution makes the NTSC picture less clear than the PAL equivalent - scan lines are also much more visible on an NTSC picture.

National Television Systems Committee. This body adopted a video-signaling standard for black and white television in 1953 (EIA RS-170 specification). The NTSC standard defines all of the parameters that allow television sets in N. America to receive broadcast signals. NTSC has a display rate of 30 frames per sec (fps) in interlaced fashion: odd lines in one pass, even lines in the next. The vertical resolution is determined by the number of rasters (scan lines). It actually consists of 525 scan lines, but due to “vertical blanking intervals” many of these drop out, resulting in 484 lines. In actual practice this is usually reduced to 352 lines. Thus, many systems advertise “352 x 288 lines of resolution.” Horizontal resolution is determined by how small the scanning point is in the camera and the number of vertical lines that can alternate between white and black in an area as wide as the overall image is tall.

(National Television System Committee) -- U.S. government and industry committee which defined the 525-line 60 (59.94) interlaced fields per second analog broadcast TV standard over 50 years ago. (This format is referred to as NTSC.) Of the 525 scan lines, 480 (give or take a few) contain the picture and the rest contain synchronizing information, hold the encoded closed caption text, and provide a time delay to move the electron beam back to the top of the screen. NTSC is used mainly in North America and Japan. Originally 30 frames per second, the standard was changed slightly to 29.97 frames per second at the time color was introduced since that change made it easier to incorporate the color information into what is now a composite video signal. The change was so small that practically all older TV sets continued to receive the signal properly without loss of vertical hold.

National Television Standards Committee. The committee that developed the color television standard for North America, Japan, Taiwan and others (30 frames a second).

National Television Systems Committee. A committee organized by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) that developed commercial television broadcast standards for the United States. The group first established black-and-white TV standards in 1941, using a scanning system of 525 lines at 60 fields per second. The second committee standardized color enhancements using 525 lines at 59.94 fields per second. NTSC refers to the composite color-encoding system. The 525/59.94 scanning system (with a 3.58-MHz color subcarrier) is identified by the letter M, and is often incorrectly referred to as NTSC. The NTSC standard is also used in Canada, Japan, and other parts of the world. NTSC is facetiously referred to as meaning "Never The Same Color" because of the system's difficulty in maintaining color consistency.

National Television Standards Committee. The standard for composite video in North America, Japan, and most of South America. NTSC divides a video image into 486 horizontal scanlines. The resolution across a scanline can vary from 512 pixels to 1024 pixels. (Pixel resolutions above 720 are not discernible on most equipment.)

Acronym meaning: National Television Standards Committee. The standard for television signals for the United States.

(pronounced "N-T-S-C") Acronym for National Television Standards Committee, and generally refers to the broad television standard used in the USA, Canada, Central America parts of South America, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and a number of other countries. It has 525 lines running at 60 fields and 30 frames per second with a maximum of 150,000 picture elements (pixels) per frame. It dates from 1941 when the original monochrome standard was adopted, and has been adapted since for colour. The colour image is converted by a device known as a colour coder, which splits the signal into a Luminance or brightness signal and a Chrominance or colour signal. In addition, Chrominance comprises two independent characteristic quantities: `hue' and `saturation', but is somewhat inferior to most other systems. Often re-buffed for that reason with the suggestion that NTSC means `Never Twice the Same Colour'. Furthermore NTSC has many variations with different frequencies, known as NTSC 3.58 and NTSC 4.43. See also PAL and SECAM.

(National Television System Committee) - The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (though it's the standard used in Japan, Canada and Mexico.) (In Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM.) The NTSC standard for television defines a video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines (486 are visible, the rest are part of the VBI) and can contain 16 million different colors. The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals. However, you can insert special video adapters into your computer that convert NTSC signals into computer video signals and vice versa. When someone refers to a television signal as a "NTSC signal" they're generally talking about an analog signal used throughout North and Central America (and/or Japan.)

NTSC is the National Television Standards Committee and was responsible for developing a standard protocol for broadcasting TV signals in 1953. Not many changes have been made to this protocol since its creation except the addition of new parameters for color broadcasts. The NTSC broadcast has 525 horizontal scan lines which are drawn in an interlaced fashion. The result is one frame every 1/30 a second.

Stands for ational elevision ystems ommittee.

An abbreviation for National Television Standards Committee, the body that originally developed the black and white, and subsequently the color television system that's been used for 50 years in the United States and elsewhere. An NTSC picture is made up of 525 interlaced lines—about 486 of which carry picture information—each with 720 pixels displayed at a rate of 29.97 frames per second. (See active scan lines and interlaced scanning; compare ATSC.)

A color television standard or timing format encoding all of the color, brightness, and synchronizing information in one signal. Used in North America, most of South America, and most of the Far East, this standard is named after the National Television Systems Committee, the standardizing body that created this system in the U.S. in 1953. NTSC employs a total of 525 horizontal lines per frame, with two fields per frame of 262.5 lines each. Each field refreshes at 60Hz (actually 59.94Hz).

National Television Standards Committee. The NTSC sets United States TV and video standards (whereas in the rest of the world the standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC TV standard defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 interlaced half-frames per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors. To use on most PCs today, special video adapters are needed to convert computer video signals to conform to NTSC standards and vice versa.

Standing for National Television Systems Committee, this is the colour television analog broadcast standard in the US. NTSC sends analog video signals of 525 lines of resolution per frame at 30 frames per second. Video adapters are available that convert the analog signals into digital signals, enabling computer monitors to be used as television screens, and vice versa. See PAL and video fields.
