SECAM
</h2>

<p class="pBody">
An analog color video signal that originated in France, and is used in many other countries, including (but not limited to) much of Eastern Europe, parts of the Middle East and Asia. Like the PAL video standard, SECAM also draws a total of 625 vertical interlaced frames of video at a refresh rate of 25Hz, but uses a fundamentally different way of encoding its colors. The name is an acronym for &quot;Squential Couleur avec Mmoire,&quot; which is French for &quot;sequential color with memory.&quot;
