(
Sequential Color with Memory), SECAM is a color TV standard that was
introduced in the early 1960 in France. SECAM uses the same resolution as
PAL (625 lines) but transmits the color information
sequentially: R-Y on one line and B-Y on the next. SECAM is used sparingly
around the world and can be found in France, parts of Greece, Eastern Europe,
Russia, and Africa.
