general use outside the United States with the RS170 specification being the U.
S. television standard. The CCIR specification defines a vertical resolution of
625 lines and a vertical refresh rate of 50 Hz. The RS170 video standard requires
a vertical resolution of 525 lines and a vertical refresh rate of 60 Hz.
