SECAM (Séquentiel Couleur à Mémoire)

SECAM (Séquentiel Couleur à Mémoire) is a television broadcasting system used mainly in France and some other countries. It transmits color information separately from the black-and-white picture, using a process called frequency modulation. Unlike other systems, SECAM converts color data into a series of signals sent one after the other (sequentially), which are then decoded by the TV. This method helps reduce interference and produces stable color images across different types of TV receivers. Overall, SECAM is a standardized way to deliver clear, stable color TV signals, ensuring consistent picture quality in compatible broadcasts.
