Are theses cameras NTSC or pal? Does it make a difference

This is NTSC. NTSC has 60Hz and a better shutter speed/FPS (PAL is 25fps/ NTSC is 30FPS). NTSC also has a NTSC RCA jack you can use with your test monitor.

Sorry, I couldn't say. Be careful buying this camera. The one I bought turned out to be the European model, HDR-PJ790VE, set up for PAL recording in spite of its data plate and the box both of which insisted it was an HDR-PJ790V set up for NTSC recording. You can't tell looking at it. It's not until you get into the camera menu in the area addressing frame rate that it becomes obvious. I guess the factory in China goofed.

As far as I know, this will allow you to play your NTSC DVD on a NTSC player but watch it on a Pal tv. It is a simple conversion box without any computing ability so will let you watch but it won't let you convert the files in any way and save them differently.

If you have a PAL video device this will convert the signal to NTSC. This will do nothing for changing region codes on digital media.

No. That would be an analog system and these are digital. You could use the NTSC test output perhaps if you are thinking of upgrading to HD-SDI in the future, but the quality is not that great.

The DVRs can do PAL, but the cameras are NTSC only for North America and will now work with PAL. The customer can use same Q-See DVR and just buy PAL cameras from other country and they will work with the DVR.Thank you

I'm guessing it's ntsc or pal, meaning that it is 480 pixels by 640 pixels, which is .9 mp, but it could be lower.

Hi, Jim. I definitely don't have your background with regard to PAL and NTSC, so perhaps I'm not the right person to respond to your question. However, in looking at the manual that came with my HCX900-M Panasonic, the following is displayed: Component video out put level; Y; 1.0 Vp-p, 75 h Pb; 0.7 Vp-p, 75 h Pr; 0.7 Vp-p, 75 h AV video output level; 1.0 Vp-p, 75 h, NTSC system I searched the user manual for PAL and came up empty. Searching for NTSC produced two results: the one I inserted here and one pertaining to the installation of software dealing with the editing software bundled with the camcorder. Under installation is says to follow the on-screen instructions and states further that if the country or region cannot be selected, select NTSC area. As far as the power adapter/charger, there is one bundled with the unit that works on 110-220 volts. Hope this helps somewhat.

Thanks for the info. I bought the camcorder because the person for whom I bought it sent me a DVD produced on their equipment, and I was able to view it on both my computer and television. Does NTSC/PAL apply also to digital? I don't quite get all this.....

Yes can convert ntsc to pal or pal to ntsc, but the bad feature that it works at 1 frame per second, not worth money, useless, waste of money

Richard, easiest way is to use a Hi-8 camera fire-wired to your computer. Or buy a Hi-8 machine (sony makes one). Your editing program should be able to handle standard NTSC footage.

Well, I have the 971h, and it is very similar. I tried a Region 6 PAL dvd on the Oppo and it outperformed my YAMAHA that does the converting from PAL to NTSC also.

No, at least not what Electronics Basket is selling. Item description states: "HD 1080p video recording at 60 fps". 60 fps is a standard rate for NTSC US models. In actuality, I received a camera that records at 50 fps in PAL format from Electronics Basket.

I did some checking around and the NTSC's version I purchased. It is said to be compatible with PAL systems. I hope this helps. (You may need a US PSN account for any upcoming downloadable content.)

The version I received after ordering states NTSC in the location you see PAL on the cover. I cannot speak for Amazon however I'm pretty sure based on your location and the type of order that you will receive the correct version based on the address of your primary account information. If there is a problem with your order once received, I would leave the plastic wrapping on, contact amazon customer service, and exchange it for the correct format.

I bought two of these as christmas presents for my children and I have the same problem with one of them. I checked NTSC, but that should not have anything to do with the problem. NTSC/PAL is a regional setting when it comes to the video format. I am going to file a complaint and request either a new replacement or a refund for the bad item.
