When ABC news had a London Bureau in the 1980s I never understood
why they took NTSC cameras over there and sent back NTSC pictures with the 50
Hz lighting flickering badly.
Why didn't they use PAL cameras and do a standards conversion at the uplink or
the downlink in the US?
There were standards convertors available then that would have done a credible
job, and there would have been NO flicker from the lighting.
