Multi-System VCR vs Worldwide VCRWorldwide VCR Background

Worldwide TV Color System
Many countries have different TV signal formats, with no exchangeability between them. This makes it
impossible to play back or record tapes with different signal formats. This worldwide common VCR
overcomes this problem by converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire.
Comparison of TV color systems
☛ Classification of TV color systems by country
➢◆ NTSC : Korea, U.S., Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and Philippines
◆ PAL : United Kingdom, Germany, Western Europe, China, and Singapore
◆ SECAM : France, Eastern Europe, and CIS
◆ PAL-M : Brazil
◆ PAL-N : Argentina (The tape is the same as that of PAL)
◆ NTSC4.43 : Pseudo NTSC signal which is made to use NTSC tape in the Middle East
(The tape is the same as that of NTSC3.58)
◆ MESECAM : The name of a tape which uses the SECAM signal recording method.
The output signal during playback is SECAM signal.
➢ Worldwide Broadcasting system is B/G, I, D/K, M, N, L.

“Worldwide Communication through VCR”
Today, the Video Recorder is a major media and communication tool, used for both business and home
entertainment. Furthermore, the emergence of the camcorder has extended the versatility of video,
enabling home video making.
Video communication is increasingly becoming a global medium, but different TV broadcasting systems
around the world hinder the worldwide exchange of video tapes.
The Samsung SV-7000W overcomes the incompatibility of different TV broadcasting systems through
sophisticated digital technology, allowing any standard VHS tape to be played on any TV, anywhere in
the world (with free voltage).
The Worldwide VCR is similar to the Multi-System VCR in that it will play back tapes recorded in any
TV Broadcasting System. However, there are a few key differences:
NTSC
PAL
SECAM
NTSC PAL SECAM
Multi-System VCR
With a Multi-System VCR:
The TV must correspond to the system of the tape being
played, otherwise, a Multi-System TV is also required;
Tape duplication with system conversion (eg NTSC to PAL) is
not possible.
NTSC PAL SECAM
SV-7000W Worldwide VCR
ANY TV
With the Worldwide VCR:
Tapes can be played on any TV monitor;
Recordings can be made in any TV Broadcasting System,
even if the tape is of a different system;
Tape duplication with system conversion is possible.

GB
Tape Conversion with the Worldwide VCRSystem Conversion with the Worldwide VCR
10
System conversion is the most complex digital process undertaken by the Worldwide VCR, converting
the “input” into a different “output”, eg from NTSC to PAL, or from PAL to SECAM. One of the most useful functions of the Worldwide VCR is the combination of tape duplication and
system conversion, more simply known as “Tape Conversion”. This allows the user to copy, for
example, a SECAM tape and simultaneously convert it to PAL or NTSC. This is particularly useful for
duplicating home video camcorder recordings and sending them to friends or relatives abroad.
