And France broadcast it in 819 line
I don't really know, it was in black and white but the second channel was in 625 line, so was it broadcast on both of only one of those?

ah ! he said : camera on the moon gives the picture to apollo, the pictures goes to the USA. It is converted to NTSC 525 lines and then givent to Europe, and converted to PAL 625 line, and in Paris they converted it to SECAM 625 line for the 2nd channel and to B-W 819 line, for the first.
a lot of conversions

I read all that, it is a-ma-zing ! They really search for the actual tapes, phone employees, find video recorders etc...
