PAL monitor set up

[Rafael Amador]

Yes Trevor,
PAL are second class people. There is not a single document in the whole internet telling how to do it.
Although I work in PAL, what I do is to calibrate my monitor in NTSC mode using the FC NTSC Bars and the NTSC method for calibrating. Once is calibrated, it doesn’t mather that you play PAL or NTSC stuff.

Hi

Frustrating isn’t it! Ok, I will give that a try, though i thought NTSC was a different colour standard. Do you get good results doing it this way?

Thanks

Sorry Trevor I couldn’t answer your post about seting up a monitor for PAL but using the NTSC bars.
You ask me about the results taking in account that PAL ans NTSC are different color spaces. In fact they use basically the same colour “filosophie” and this doesn’t afect to the phosphorus (?) of the screen. In many production facilities are working normally with the two standards and they use the same monitor. The monitor detect the format of the incomming signal and sets it self in sync, but the screen dont have to be adjusted every time.
