Two major television/video formats are used around the world.  The US, Canada, Japan, and Mexico all use a system called the National Television System Committee (NTSC) while most countries use a system called Phase Altering Line Format (PAL).  Simply put, the main difference between the two systems is the way the signals are received and displayed on the television.  The PAL format has a lower frame rate (25 frames per second) than NTSC and contains more lines of resolution (625).  Therefore, the PAL format displays better resolution.  However, the NTSC format is able to capture better motion on screen given that it displays 525 lines of resolution at 30 frames per second.  Furthermore, NT...

High definition (or HD) is a term that refers to the level of clarity an image (or group of images) displays in a photograph or on screen.  High definition technologies have the ability to enhance colors, create smoother motion on screen, and display what viewers know as a wide screen view.  More specifically, HD is a measure of an image's resolution and the better the resolution, the better the picture.  Resolution is determined by the number of lines that are shown in a screen and the number of dots within those lines, or pixels.  Though high definition photography, film, and television involve achieving the same ultimate effect, different equipment and processes are used for each one.  T...
