SubjectRe: [PATCH v10 18/19] drm/vc4: vec: Add support for more analog TV standards
Hi Mauro,

As the author of the original version of this commit, and also a person who
argued quite a bit on these descriptions and decisions, let me chip in a bit.

If you say so - maybe that's true. But I tried to find any differences between
PAL-N and PAL-Nc many times and haven't found anything concrete. The only
authoritative source where System N and "Combination N/PAL" seem to be mentioned
as separate entities is BT.1701
<https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-BT.1701-1-200508-I/en>. However:

a) the differences are very subtle (with "combination N/PAL" being just a tad
stricter than what's mentioned for System N)
b) "Combination N/PAL" can be understood as just "System N combined with PAL
color", as opposed to "raw", black&white System N. This intepretation is also
what the user calling themselves "Alcahemist" suggests here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:PAL#PAL-N_versus_PAL-Nc

This is of course far from an authoritative source. If you have a definitive
source for PAL-N and PAL-Nc being different, or concrete information on what is
different between them specifically, then so be it. But I tried and haven't
found anything conclusive.

This is true. However, those differed only in RF modulation. For example,
French SECAM-L used positive video modulation and AM sound, while Eastern
European SECAM-D/K used negative video modulation and FM sound. But the
baseband composite signals were identical.

There were several other variants of SECAM, like early SECAM/V vs. SECAM/H
("Field identification" vs. "Line identification") which moved the color
identification signals from VBI to HBI. But that's a change that all SECAM
regions, including both France and Eastern Europe did in the 1980s to
acommodate for teletext. Again, authoritative sources are scarce, but see e.g.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160303232903/http://www.pembers.freeserve.co.uk/World-TV-Standards/Colour-Standards.html
(search for "Synchronisation of SECAM colour transmissions" on the page).

There's also MESECAM, but that only applies to encoding on VHS and Betamax
tapes, not the signals themselves. There was also SECAM-M for 525-line (480i)
signals, but I haven't found any conclusive evidence that it was ever used for
broadcast anywhere

So yeah, SECAM can be a bit confusing, but AFAIK there's only one standard if
we're talking about the composite video layer.

--

Some *really* old (like, 1960s old) versions of CCIR documents also listed more
substantial differences between various 625-line systems, including the number
of active lines varying from 571 to 589. But all revisions from 1974 onward list
the modern value of 575 active lines for all the variants, making them differ
only in RF modulation details. Which is beyond the scope of what the "TV mode"
property is supposed to do.
