NTSC (NATIONAL TELEVISION SYSTEM COMMITTEE)

The organization that developed both our American Black & White and Color television system is the National Television System Committee. Our television system, itself, has become known as NTSC. Other countries such as Canada, Mexico, and Japan have also standardized on NTSC. (The word "System" is sometimes printed in the plural form.) NTSC is also known as "Never Twice the Same Color" as a result of some of the problems encountered in implementing the system.
