NTSC (National Television System Committee)

NTSC stands for National Television System Committee, which developed a standard for analog television broadcasting in the United States and several other countries. It specifies the format for color television, including frame rate (30 frames per second) and resolution. Introduced in the 1950s, NTSC was designed to provide consistent quality and compatibility for TVs and broadcasts. Though largely replaced by digital systems like ATSC, NTSC remains relevant in understanding the history of television technology and its influence on broadcasting standards worldwide.
