This was recorded in PAL D/K, with 60 Hz flicker. DPRK refused to adopt NTSC due to the fact that NTSC is an American TV standard. The DPRK only uses an American standard 60 Hz mains freq for electricity. The PAL / SECAM D/K colour standard is / was adopted by some Eastern European countries that includes East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia (Now Slovakia), Slovenia, Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Romania, Bulgaria, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. It was even adopted by the post Soviet Baltic states like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Out of the countries in Asia, only North Korea, Russia, China (Excluding Hong Kong and Macau which adopts British PAL-I), Laos and Vietnam adopted the SECAM / PAL D/K standard, while other Asian states adopt NTSC M/J and PAL B/G/I as colour standard for television.
The sheer fact that PAL was used in a 60hz fashion baffles me. They could have used PAL-M. This keeps the NTSC standard, while the color encoding is PAL, a strange mix. That's what Brazil had used. But, then again, this is NK.
@@josephstalin7995 It all depends on location. Some countries used PAL from the get-go, like the UK and Slovenia. So yes, Slovenia used PAL whereas Russia used SECAM.
ENG : Former Republic of Korea is one. DPRK Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il praised hope that the system is a publicity stop. KOR : 저는 한국 사람입니다. 북한(조선)은 김일성, 김정일을 찬양하는 체제 선동좀 그만 했으면 하는 바램입니다.
@AtheismCentral Well his Dad is dead and still lives as an eternal leader of the nation, the TV news stated he had been accended to heaven by 10000 swallows but they returned him because the people cried so much. (or he was too fat). Kim Jong Ill was born under miraculous circumstances and when he " shouts out loud, huge storms always happen". Praise songs such as "the dear leader is the saviour of mankind" actually state that the people are to live with Mr Porky as their god. Get an education.
