Output is color difference signals which they probably just run through a SECAM encoder.And doesn't SECAM use frequency modulation to encode the color? That would explain the drifting if the oscillators on the board are not 100% stable and drift with the temperature.Yes I have one of the versions of that Procep SECAM board (there seems to be more than one revision of the PAL decoder / SECAM encoder PCB).As you see it's a PAL decoder using a TDA chip and a SECAM encoder built out of two smaller chips and a lot of discrete components. There are many adjustments on the board. Two of them set the magnitude of the R-Y and B-Y colour difference signals and two more set the FM carrier centre frequencies.Richard
