625-line(orCCIR625/50) is a late 1940sEuropeananalogstandard-definition televisionresolution standard.[1][2]It consists of a 625-lineraster,with 576 lines carrying the visible image at 25interlacedframesper second. It was eventually adopted by countries using 50 Hzutility frequencyas regular TV broadcasts resumed after World War II.[3]With the introduction of color television in the 1960s,[4]it became associated with thePALandSECAManalog color systems.
A similar525-linesystem was adopted by countries using 60 Hz utility frequency (like theUS). Other systems, like375-line,405-line,441-line,455-lineand819-lineexisted, but became outdated or had limited adoption.
The modern standard-definitiondigital videoresolution576iis equivalent and can be used todigitizean analogue 625-line TV signal, or to generate a 625-line compatible analog signal.[5]
History
[edit]At the CCIRStockholmConference in July 1948 a first 625-line system with a 8 MHzchannel bandwidthwas proposed by theSoviet Union,based on 1946-48 studies[3]byMark Krivosheev.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]This was initially known as theI.B.T.O.625-line system.
At a CCIRGenevameeting in July 1950, Dr. Gerber (a Swiss engineer), proposed a modified 625-line system using a 7 MHz channel bandwidth - informally known as the "Gerber Standard". The system was based on work byTelefunkenandWalter Bruch,and was supported byBelgium,Denmark,Italy,Netherlands,SwedenandSwitzerland.[3]
At a CCIR Geneva meeting in May 1951, the existingVHFbroadcast standards were standardized.[3]The older 405-line system was designatedCCIR System A,the Gerber Standard was designatedSystem B,the Belgian variantSystem Cand the I.B.T.O. standardSystem D.
In the 1960s, with the introduction ofUHFbroadcasts, new 625-line standards were adopted, again with slightly different broadcast parameters, leading to the creation of SystemsG,H,I,KandL.
