   This wasn't SECAM - AIUI SECAM was/is the line sequential FM based   
   subcarrier colour system. (Sequential Couleur Avec Memoire - Sequential   
   colour with memory)   
      
   I expect the 819 system could have been good in picture quality terms live -   
   it had a wide vision bandwith? - but I suspect any Quad VTR designed to   
   operate on it must have softened it a bit?
