PAL refers to the type of analogueTV standard rather than he type of
connector

There are at least three analogue TV broadcast systems, PAL, (Phase
Alternate Line), NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) and SECAM
(a variant of PAL where the audio and colour is carried in a different
way)

Belling Lee is a connector standard, nothing to do with PAL so its a
mistake on the website.


And for that matter, BNC twist on, so why are they in this discussion
at all (in other posts)? I just learned that B stands for bayonet.


I once had a salesman tell me it simply means "Bayonet Connector";
presumably the BN is BayoNet, as in TTY for TeleTYpe. :-)

Cheers!
