In addition to the US and Canada, the NTSC system was or is used in Central America, the Caribbean, parts of South America, and in several Asian countries, including Japan. The system was updated in 1953 to accommodate the change from black-and-white to color television. This was done to resolve differences between the various TV companies and standardize the system.

NTSC stands for the National Television System Committee, which was the group that introduced the original standards for analog TV transmission in the USA back back in the early 1940s. NTSC is inferior to ATSC because it doesn’t deliver HDTV picture quality or the widescreen format, and the audio quality is also inferior. It has largely been phased out in favor of digital ATSC broadcasting, however. NTSC is generally used to refer to the old analog signal that was first adopted in the USA in the 1940s.
