PAL and NTSC are color encoding formats. NTSC is the format used in North America and PAL is used in Europe. Most other countries use one or the other. NTSC is normally used at a frame rate of 29.97Hz with 480 lines used for the image while PAL is normally 25Hz and uses 576 lines. The frame rate and line count are actually independent of the color encoding format used so there are instances where US frame rates and line counts can be used with PAL color encoding and vice versa.

PAL and NTSC are similar formats but not interchangeable. Many modern televisions will now handle PAL and NTSC but that is not always the case.

PAL cords are designed for use with PAL (Phase Alternating Line) video systems, while NTSC (National Television System Committee) consoles output in NTSC format.

To achieve compatibility, you would need a converter that can translate between the two formats.
