SECAM-TO-PAL converter

The circuit described in this article is, in principle, an add-on for the popular Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Processor featured in the October and November 1995 issues of this magazine. Because the PIP processor has only a PAL decoder, it is unable to display a colour inset picture in countries where the SECAM TV system is used. That problem may be overcome by inserting the present converter between the inset source and the PIP processor. The circuit offers more goodies, however, particularly for owners of satellite TV receiver systems
