Later in the 50's and early 60's the PAL standard was adopted by most European countries, except for France, which adopted the SECAM standard. Both the PAL and SECAM standards have frame rates of 25 per second made up of 625 lines of video per frame.
Brazil uses a TV broadcast standard called PAL-M, which is a hybrid of NTSC (for luminance information) and PAL (for chrominance information). Three countries (Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay) use PAL-N, which is a modified version of PAL (with narrower bandwidth). MESECAM, which is partially compatible with SECAM, is used by most former Soviet-block countries and by many countries in the Middle East.
