(Works only if your TV has component support. Very likely if you have multiple input slots behind your TV, most modern TVs have it)
Before we get to a work around for NTSC/SECAM to PAL converter, let us understand that there are two major types of video signals (If you give a damn about this scroll down to "Here the workaround").
1. Component video signal (Usually 3 cables for video and 2 (or more) for audio)
When the color components are kept as separate signals, the video is called component analog video (CAV), which requires three separate signals: the luminance signal (Y) and the color difference signals (R-Y and B-Y).
2. Composite video signal (Usually 1 cable for video and 2 (or more) for audio)
In a composite signal, the luminance, Brightness (Y) signal and the chrominance, Color (C) signals are encoded together into one signal.
PAL, NTSC and SECAM are composite color systems.
The way video components (Brightness and Color signals) are interwoven differentiates PAL/NTSC/SECAM signals.
Here the workaround:
"If your TV has component input slots use that as alternative" !! As component inputs are not composite (ie neither PAL/NTSC/SECAM) !!!
What does this mean ?
Plug Y, PB, PR to video inputs and any two audio (L/R) to audio inputs of the TV
Only difference would be that you require 3 cables for video and 2(or more) for audio.
