       Playing around with outputting SECAM on a raspberry pi and I was surprised my workbench TV displayed it. I know it supports NTSC and PAL, but for some reason I thought SECAM didn't work. It doesn't look great - lots of red and blue fringing on details, but the colours are present and accurate.The multi-system support isn't listed in the manual, nor does it show on the on-screen display. Wild that they just silently threw in a feature like that. Good job, Philips.

       @probnot System Essentially Contrary to the Accepted (or American) Method.Now try the old British 405-line and French 819-line systems!

       I wanted to verify that this signal is indeed SECAM, so I dragged out my multi-standard VCR, and yup! VCR display says SECAM. I also found some random Russian tapes with MESECAM recordings on them, which also played fine on the TV. From my understanding, MESECAM was just SECAM colour that was converted to be recorded/played back using PAL VCR hardware.And it turns out, my capture card supports SECAM just fine as well (though the DVD recorder I use as a TBC does not.
