A camcorder is a portable consumer electronics device used for recording video and audio content, using an in-built recorder unit. It can record different video formats, including DV, miniDV and HD. The recording can later be played back on television or computer. Today, camcorders have found extensive usage in nearly all corners of electronic media, from electronic news organizations to TV/current affairs productions. They are often used in production of low-budget TV shows or at times even for high-budget cinema.
PAL system camcorders are camcorders that work on the PAL analog system. They allow the user to take advantage of PAL, the superior analog system that is used most widely across the world. There are three different types of analog television systems used in the world: NTSC, SECAM and PAL. NTSC or National Television System Committee is used in the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan etc. It is inferior in terms of quality of output and was created merely to add color to the old black-and-white television sets of the 1950s and 60s. SECAM or Sequential Color with Memory was first used in France and later adopted by former French and Belgian colonies, the Soviet Union, Greece and Middle Eastern countries etc. A major problem with SECAM is that it can not be easily edited in its native analog version. PAL or Phase Alternating Line is the most commonly used broadcast television system in India, China, Australia, Africa and Western Europe.
PAL system camcorders are popularly used all over the world to record, store, edit and play videos. These electronic devices record in PAL system which is compatible with all TVs and VCRs. Thus, you do not need to buy multi system TV or VCR. With PAL camcorders, you can share videos with friends and family overseas. Good looking, smart and trendy, they provide consistent colors and excellent picture quality. PAL camcorders are the best choice for people who will stay abroad or frequent travel overseas and watch their videos. Another big advantage is that these camcorders enjoy international warranties and can easily be repaired even while you are overseas.
