CCIR System L
CCIR System L is an analog broadcast television system used in France, Luxembourg, Monaco and Chausey.[1][2][3] It was the last system to use positive video modulation and AM sound.[3]
Initially adopted in the 1970s and associated with the SECAM color system (SECAM-L), it was discontinued in 2011, when France transitioned to Digital Video Broadcasting.
