SECAM - also written SÉCAM ( Sé quentiel C ouleur à M émoire, French for "Sequential Color with Memory"), . Developed in France. First used in 1967. A 625-line vertical, 50-line horizontal display. Sometimes referred to by wags as " S omething E ssentially C ontrary to the A merican M ethod" or SE cond C olour A lways M agenta! " Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Types B and D usually used for VHF; types G, H, and K for UHF; types I, N, M, K1 and L for both VHF/UHF.

patented his invention 1963 and the first commercial application of the PAL system was in August 1967. Also a 625/50-line display and variant of NTSC. Proponents call it " P erfection A t L ast."
