PAL

Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is a colour encoding system for analogue television used in broadcast television systems in most countries broadcasting at 625-line / 50 field (25 frame) per second (576i). Other common colour encoding systems are NTSC and SECAM.

All the countries using PAL are currently in process of conversion or have already converted to DVB.

This page primarily discusses the PAL colour encoding system. The articles on broadcast television systems and analogue television further describe frame rates, image resolution and audio modulation.

History

In the 1950s, the Western European countries commenced planning to introduce colour television, and were faced with the problem that the NTSC standard demonstrated several weaknesses, including colour tone shifting under poor transmission conditions, which became a major issue considering Europe's geographical and weather-related particularities. To overcome NTSC's shortcomings, alternative standards were devised, resulting in the development of the PAL and SECAM standards. The goal was to provide a colour TV standard for the European picture frequency of 50 fields per second (50 hertz), and finding a way to eliminate the problems with NTSC.

Physics Abstraction Layer

The Physics Abstraction Layer (PAL) is an open source cross-platform physical simulation API abstraction system. It is similar to a physics engine wrapper, however it is far more flexible providing extended abilities. PAL is free software, released under the BSD license.

PAL is a high-level interface for low-level physics engines used in games, simulation systems, and other 3D applications. It supports a number of dynamic simulation methodologies, including rigid body, liquids, soft body, ragdoll, and vehicle dynamics. PAL features a simple C++ API and intuitive objects (e.g. Solids, Joints, Actuators, Sensors, and Materials). It also features COLLADA, Scythe Physics Editor, and XML-based file storage.

The Physics Abstraction Layer provides a number of benefits over directly using a physics engine:

  • Flexibility – It allows developers to switch between different physics engines to see which engine provides their needs, as well as quickly testing a new engine.
  • Portable – Developers are able to use the physics engine which provides the best performance for different platforms, and are able to write platform independent code.

    Watch Me Now

    by: Play

    Don't you cry, don't you look so sad
    We both knew somehow this day would come
    I know you want what is best for me
    And I need to see you smile
    From where I started off to where I am
    It's a million miles, I can't go back there again
    But no matter where I go from here
    You will be part of me from now on
    For every door that opens up
    When another has to close
    You got to trust me now
    Be strong and let me go
    Watch me now as I go my way
    The time has come
    And I gotta say I'm not afraid
    Watch me now, every step I take
    I feel stronger, so much stronger
    The road ahead is a mystery
    Your love is here
    Oh and I believe inside of me
    Watch me now, I can stand my ground
    I will be alright, yes I'll be alright
    You were someone who believed in me
    When I wasn't even sure of myself
    And I always will remember how
    You were always there to help
    And I heard so many things from you
    And I'm ready now to try them out in the world
    Though it hurts too much to say goodbye
    We both know (We both know)
    There's no other way
    I will feel your loving arms
    When I'm out there in the cold
    'Cause all of my thoughts of you
    Will still be mine to hold
    Watch me now as I go my way
    The time has come
    And I gotta say I'm not afraid
    Watch me now, every step I take
    I feel stronger, so much stronger
    The road ahead is a mystery
    Your love is here
    Oh and I believe inside of me
    Watch me now, I can stand my ground
    I will be alright, yes I'll be alright
    You will find me running back sometime
    When I really need a guiding hand
    We'll be closer than we were before
    And I know that you will understand
    I know you'll understand
    Watch me now as I go my way
    The time has come
    And I gotta say I'm not afraid
    Watch me now, every step I take
    I feel stronger, so much stronger
    The road ahead is a mystery
    Your love is here
    Oh and I believe inside of me
    Watch me now, I can stand my ground
    I will be alright, yes I'll be alright
