Nack. It sounds a very bad idea to have standards as generic as
NTSC, PAL, SECAM.
If you take a look at the CCIR/ITU-R specs that define video standards,
you'll see that the standard has actually two components:
1. the composite color TV signal: PAL, NTSC, SECAM, defined in ITU-R BT1700[1]
2. and the conventional analogue TV (the "monochromatic" part),
as defined in ITU-R BT.1701[2], which is, basically, a letter from A to N
(with some country-specific variants, like Nc). Two of those standards
(M and J) are used on Countries with a power grid of 60Hz, as they have
a frame rate of either 30fps or 29.997fps.
[1] https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-BT.1700-0-200502-I/en
[2] https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-BT.1701-1-200508-I/en
The actual combination is defined within Country-specific laws, which
selects a conventional analogue signal with a composite color one.
So, for instance, US uses NTSC/M (because it uses a 60Hz power grid).
There is a 50Hz variant, called NTSC/443 (not used on any Country, but
present on some European VCR equipments capable of recording at 25fps,
using NTSC).
Btw, some VCR equipments in US may also have PAL/60 with has the
same timings as NTSC, but uses PAL instead.
What happens is that, in Europe, different PAL standards got used, but:
- most TV sets and their chipsets were developed to auto-detect and
support the differences between different systems PAL/B, PAL/G, PAL/D,...
- several of those standards have a difference only at the audio
sub-carriers. So, they look identical for the video decoding part.
- standards may have a different inter-channel space (it can vary from
5 to 8 MHz) to minimize cross-signal interference.
---
Anyway, I strongly suggest to either:
1. align the standards there to what we defined in V4L2. See:
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/userspace-api/v4l/vidioc-enumstd.html#v4l2-std-id
and:
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/userspace-api/v4l/standard.html
You can probably start with a subset of those, e. g. with:
- PAL/I, PAL/BG, PAL/DK, PAL/M, PAL/N, PAL/Nc, PAL/60
- NTSC/M, NTSC/M Japan, NTSC/M Korea, NTSC/443
- SECAM/BG, SECAM/DK, SECAM/I, SECAM/L, SECAM/LP
Btw, for decoders, this should actually be a bitmask, as most decoding
chipsets can auto-detect among several different video standards.
2. split into two different properties:
- the "monochromatic" one: A to N, M_Japan, M_Korea,
Nc, 60 and 443;
- the composite signal encoding: NTSC, PAL, SECAM.
If I were to design V4L2 again back the days where commercial digital TV
were not present, I would probably have opted to have two different
properties.
