NTSC to 405? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hey all.

I have a large collection of Laserdiscs including some great black and white films but unfortunately a lot are NTSC.

Is there any simple way to convert NTSC to 405? I already use a Hedgehog to do my Pal to 405.

Hi Courtney
The Hedghog PSC can convert PAL 625 or NTSC 525 lines to 405 lines or any other standard. It converts to black and white only.
When converting from NTSC to 405 lines there may be an occasional bit of jitter due to the difference in field rates.
