SECAM is short for Sequential Color with Memory, SECAM is a color TV standard that was introduced in the early 1960 in France. SECAM uses the same resolution as PAL but transmits the color information sequentially
SECAM is an analog color television system first used in France. A team led by Henri de France working at Compagnie Fran

In the past TVs were separately made for PAL/Secam/NTSC programs. Now almost all new TVS are with multiple function. So if you have a muti-system TV, it will work in Bulgaria
PAL (PHASE ALTERNATING LINE) is Colour Encoding Method for Broadcasting Video Signals. Other Methods are NTSC & SECAM.
The outlet isn't the only problem here.Before the DTV switchover there were three standards for televisions: NTSC, PAL and SECAM. NTSC was in the US and Korea, PAL in most of Europe, SECAM in France, Russia and the Middle East. Unless you had a multisystem TV, you couldn't watch American TV on a German TV set.Now there are six different standards. I don't know why. It still means you can't watch TV in the US on a European TV set.
For terrestrial analogue systems (while they still exist) the UK, like most of the rest of Europe, uses a system for encoding the colour called PAL (phase alternating line). The French, however, use a system called Secam (Sequence and memory). To a television receiver, the two systems are mutually incompatible, so unless you have a television that can switch between the types of signal, you will only be able to receive one or the other.
PAL is the color encoding method used in Europe and other parts of the world. North America, Japan and other countries use NTSC. Although the two encoding methods are similar, the signals are not compatible. A third color standard used by France is SECAM. SECAM is used in a handful of other countries but is not a common standard. PAL and SECAM encoded signals are normally used at 50Hz while NTSC normally uses 59.94Hz. There are some rare exceptions to these field rates but it is normally safe to assume that 50Hz material will be PAL encoded and 59.94Hz will be NTSC encoded.
The majority of UK televisions will now handle multiple standards. The UK colour standard is PAL while the US uses NTSC. Similarly, UK uses 50Hz field rates compared to 60Hz in the US. It is common for UK televisions to be able to handle 60Hz. Most will decode NTSC. It is important to check that NTSC and 60Hz broadcast frequencies are supported before buying. The only way to check is to read the manual or speak to the manufacturer. Sadly, most in store salesmen will not be able to answer the question and whatever the answer might be in store, it cannot be taken as gospel. Some warnings: A UK television taken to the US is unlikely to receive broadcast television. A television that handles NTSC will only play North American DVDs in conjunction with a DVD player that is not region coded. Finally, while almost the whole world uses either PAL or NTSC, France and a handful of other countries uses a colour encoding system called SECAM. Few televisions and video processors will handle SECAM so if the intention is to replay French content, selecting the right television may prove more challenging.
Analog.The US & Canada used a system called NTSC.The UK & most of Europe used a system called PAL.France & the USSR used a system called SECAM.
what are the possible fault in colour tv transmitter and receiver?how we can overcome this fault?
Mexicansinvented the colour TV. So if it wasn't for Mexicans we would not be able to watch TV in colour.
A multi system plasma TV is a TV that has a plasma screen. It is also able to pick up signals from various broadcasting systems. Other countries use PAL and SECAM, while America uses NSTC. For this reason, multi system TVs are compatible for use in many areas of the world.
